I didn't think to add this during video creation, so I'm going to add it here. If you have trouble getting certain achievements done (for example: not enough people to do a boss kill you need even though its open world) look under achievements -> daily -> daily living world season 4. There will be a zone with dailies in it so it will be higher trafficed. The day I write this it is daily sandswept isles, so it is a lot easier to get stuff done in sandswept today due to all the people there. Hope this helps!

[@Azotadeth]

Fantastic video Muk! 'Sadly' it comes at the tail end of me completing the first collection. Just a small nitpick though. The Xunlai Electrum Ingots do not have a daily cooldown, but the Lumps of Mithrillium they require do. If you've been making those for ascended equipment anyways, you're set to just make the ingots at any time.

[@tomgaksidokkaebi5467]

like for example the 2 legendary bounties starcaller & seneb; BUT however: i advise if not a "daily-day" >> tag up and do both metas (specimen + storm/echoes) and include the legy bounties in that lfg desciption and advertise the "meta" squad in mapchat/guildchat - added legy bounties will be likely done since u got a highly populated squad; sometime i did starcaller even in between echoes for north meta, if not both after the metas.

[@RaviVemula2]

That's too much work for one item. I have a life, Muk! *Proceeds to start working on vision, because said life consists of having fun in my off time* Thanks for the guide!

[@Northena]

Already made all 3 PvE trinkets, still watching these videos because they're so well put together. Really wish I had these when I made them 2-3 years ago!

[@nathanms1]

Nowadays I have all the legendary trinkets in the game but from time to time I watch these guides just to remind myself of how much I went through to get them.

[@Adam-xp5nm]

For newer players going after Vision- the skyscale from the SotO collection will not work for Vision achievements. The 'Rift Repair' mastery is necessary which can only be acquired from the LWS4 Skyscale mastery track.

[@darkviper1875]

so what is easier, to start skyscale first or vision first? is there any overlapping quests they both require?

[@Adam-xp5nm]

@@darkviper1875 Not sure about overlaps specifically but both collections are focused on LWS4 so there are probably parts of each "Visions of *insertlws4map*" you can do during the skyscale collection. Due to both having timegates, I would advise doing both simultaneously. The brandstone research part of Visions of Istan takes 7 days. The xunlai electrum ingots are a timegate if you don't have a stash of lump of Mithrilium - you need 18 of these and you can only make 1 mithrilium per day (you also need 21 of these for Aurora if you don't have that yet). Regarding the LWS4 skyscale collection, there is a time gate of a minimum of 3 days and 8 hours. The 3 days are because you can only feed 4 pieces of skyscale food per day during "Skyscale Care" achievement and the 8 hours are 4 sets of 2 hour waits at the end of each skyscale achievement cluster. You also need a total of 22 charged quartz crystal to craft the items needed for the skyscale achievement - you can also just buy these items - skyscale food + grow lamp - but it's expensive. You make charged quartz by taking 25 quartz crystals to a hero point - you can only do this once daily. You'll also need 250 of each lws4 currency, 41g, 1500 volatile magic and 500 trade contracts for parts of the skyscale unlock collection. The skyscale is easy to get outside of the timegates, just a lot of mini collections to do - mostly flying round dragonfall gathering stuff.

[@drakebane9527]

​@@darkviper1875if you're going for vision I highly recommend just doing the old Collection achievement for the skyscale. Otherwise you're doing it twice over like I had to do unfortunately.

[@darkviper1875]

@@drakebane9527 so basicaly do the skyscale collection then vision, thx m8 appreicate it

[@missk1697]

What an idiotic design

[@MelonRoulette]

Vision is the first legendary I crafted. It means a lot to me and it really prepares me for the other legendaries I crafted after lol. I was like how the f people do all these things and then found out that a lot of collections, especially gen1 legs I craft are much easier lol Ps.I also found out later that I can get the first item of every collection from WvW reward track but I had quite a lot of fun doing all of those story achievements which I also did all for Aurora. I also really love the 32 slot bag achievement. It's sad and beautiful and I really love how they name the achievement. Probably one of my most fav achievements.

[@crosselsmith776]

1:48 That just triggered my skyscale PTSD.

[@TheRodentMastermind]

I used a lot of Krakatite Ore making Stellar equipment, and although Ice is a good way to get some, a much faster way is to park alts on the Astralium and just run around the top layers clicking on columns and mirrors for 25 per alt per day from the heart.

[@laurapiacentinicasarin8205]

I started doing vision without even knowing what it was about LOL done it halfway so far and started aurora almost a month ago thanks to your video. Its been a fun ride and a change in my course in the game

[@nocchi.9589]

For those wondering: 3,000 Kralkatite Ore = 10,000 Eternal Ice Shards

[@TheRedGauntlet]

I did started on Vision achivements even tough i haven't finished Aurora(shakes hands at Mystic Tribute). Apreciate the guides in making these grinds more tolerable.

[@rottenreason35]

This guide was GREAT! Easy to follow, ended up with a ton of stuff and now have vision! The only thing I didn't realize was vision only showed up when you enter combat. Thank you again for the guide getting ready to start Aurora next

[@BrianSez]

Noxxi's absolutely killing these edits. Great video!

[@jamesstencil1916]

So perfect... thank you so much for this!!! I did not understand a ton of this. But now I’ll be getting this done🙏😊

[@RvLver]

Just finished Vision, thanks to your guide, as usual. Now I will never have to bother with buying trinkets again! Thank you Mukluk!

[@jelenag6112]

It’s the astral weapons I’m taking forever with, total grind Ty for guide

[@legenddairy9631]

As I am slowly working though this, I thought I would add that the wvw reward trad for Istan gives 250 of that map currency in the final bag as an option if you already have the armor needed. I assume pvp reward track does as well. Excellent guide and tips on this. Thanks.

[@stefansikberger5323]

Just want to say thanks again to your fantastic guides. This past week i have gotten prismatic regalia and vision thanks to your guides

[@MaiHead92]

If you go for Eternal Ice shards, you should do Drakkar meta at Bjora Marches every now and then because it can drop an infusion. It only takes like 20-25 mins if you have a good group. And it's not hard at all. It rewards you tons of Eternal Ice shards.

[@Kingpsycho02]

Thank you kind sir, this is quite helpful, now may the grinding commence

[@corbingovers7559]

Vision is also an "every character" legendary. So if you have stupid amounts of alts like I do, having the legendary trinkets...etc make switching builds everywhere on your account easier.

[@edwinramirez1019]

good guide, glad you hit the most pressing challenges in the beginning

[@MR_Guamo]

The "A star to guide us" mastery is really holding me back. The Griffon courses will make me cry 😭

[@nacomeno9]

hey Mukluk, i just wanna comment on this because of your video i finally finish Vision, thank you very much and great video

[@josiahtubo]

For astral weapons collection you can join a group that has subgroups in different instances of the map and farm kralkatite ore from the meteorite as whoever is anchoring that map calls for it.

[@Rocketsong]

Yeah, but farming meteorites is so painful and inefficient I'd rather actually do hearts. And if you play Bjora at all, you will have eternal ice coming out your ears.

[@drakebane9527]

​@@Rocketsongnot to mention doing IBS 5 daily. Doing the alt park and IBS5 gives me around 600-700 of them every day 😂

[@Rkcuddles]

Thank you for updating this with comments that we can now buy a few ingredients from the TP. I hope people will pay attention and don’t try to farm these it’s a pain.

[@joierdan]

You forgot something very important on the Astral weapons section, they also require 3000 Powdered Rose Quartz and 300 Ectoplasms. These can only be gathered from Brandstone and not from anywhere else.

[@MuklukYoutube]

Those are tradeable, you can buy them if you wish and don't have to gather them.

[@finn7293]

This Video is so damn good.

[@Arilozen]

The "A Star to Guide Us" Achievement mentioned at 6:50 or so has a few achievements that are a lot easier to do with friends. Keep that in mind before tackling this otherwise you might have a bad time. Love the video, thanks for the guide!

[@zotypstryk363]

Involving 9 other people and learn how to do raid bosses is the only reason that I'm not gonna make coalescence. And that I'm working on shifts.

[@Akria1999]

By far the fastest luckiest legendary trinket of the bunch. Lemme quickly explain: I had 3 of the 6 Astral weapons from unlockers so I only needed half the kralk. I had 5 of the dragon blood weapons from Thunderhead peaks. Only needed 1. Skyscale I've had for years so no issue there. The thing that took the longest was "The Star to Guide Us" achievement. It was honestly rlly fun and not that bad. After watching and COMPLETING all of Muk's legendary trinket guides this is my conclusion. Aurora is longest. Coalescence is "hardest" Transcendence (if you like PvP) is most fun however if you go for new amulet it's technically smarter and more profitable. Conflux was kinda.. meh. Idk went by so quick. Just WvW for a month or two and it's yours. Vision was a breeze but if you need those currency then Eternal Ice Shards and also Seasons of the Dragons are the way to go! I'm officially full legendary. I got runes, sigils, armor, trinkets, backpack and all weapons except underwater and 2nd pistol. Time to take a well deserved break. Still need light and medium armors but I'm in no rush. Thanks Muk! (If you actually read this whole comment your a legend)

[@NoelleHorrorpops]

Was planning on making Vision after making Astralaria (almost done!!!) I thought it would be a lot of work doing the achievements, did not think of doing the reward tracks instead so thanks for not wasting my time, already do wvw for legendary armor as well!

[@achileas4895]

here for the algorithm... VIsion one more of the legendries i will get at some point in the far dystopian maybe post apocalyptic future :)

[@slartythecyclops4643]

Legendary's HARD No do!!! Watch Muk vid & Well shiz that's a breeze, then hit 'Mystic Tribute' & proceed to have a panic attack (How Much! ffs) Nose to the farming stone again lol gr8 vid mate! Praise Joko you are here to guide us in this dark time ;-)

[@Dontgankmeplx]

Thanks, for the guide. I'm v closed to finished but I just discovered I need and artificier and then the funerary incense part... 🙃

[@daniduhz8789]

Well.... I know what I'm starting today! 🔮⭐🥰 Need a reason to get skyscale done and a cool affect. Also another reason to get back into the game. 💜💜

[@Hydrakk]

...This video made me realize I already had a decent amount of progress towards the first Vision achievement without even noticing it. That and I have enough elegy mosaics just sitting there in my wallet for me to buy 100 funerary incenses. I might actually work on this before or after I begin work on the Claw of the Khan-Ur.

[@Rkcuddles]

For vision of thunderhead peak, don’t forget you will need 60 map currency per weapon (in addition to the jewels that muk covers). You can get these with ice shards but since you are already using ice shards for the astral weapons, it’s going to take a while to have enough of both. The good news is it’s going to take so long to do a star to guide us that you will likely be able to just continue the ice shards farming daily routine and have enough.

[@pablofernandogonzalezolmos8472]

And for the 6 Dragons blood weapons we need 6 vision crystal ( one each), for the Chasing tales achievement related.

[@ashmaster5852]

Honestly it's the powdered rose quartz thats getting me.

[@ranawayinsleep]

Same. I have all other achievements but I just don't feel the motivation to do the astral weapons. It's just ridiculously expensive to make and I know it's for a legendary but still.

[@johnhenkel5623]

Powdered rose quartz can be bought on the TP! You still have to farm for the kralkatite ore, but you can get 75/character from doing hearts daily, as well as buy 5/day for volatile magic in dragonfall.

[@Azotadeth]

I just finished with the 6 weapons a couple days ago. Frankly, set some orders for the Powdered Rose Quartz in the bazaar. Even when doing something else and just alt-tabbing ever 15 minutes, the grind is absurdly long (specially considering you won't always have other impact hunters around to mark up to 5 for max rewards).

[@sourceofflames]

Guys don't be ridiculous , please do both metas in Bjoras , Drakkar and the Storm Winter , also go all around map each day until you learn where all the chests are and you may also wanna do a couple of puzzle there . Look for tutorials about puzzle but they are fun anyway . And in just 70min max you will have around 800 shards per day which is 250 300 kralkatorike only by there .

[@Jacksontruman92]

For getting the 3000 ore, you can do the three hearts in region with any character you have and buy 25 ores a day. Doing all three will net you 75 ore for basically little to nothing karma. So if you have like 10 characters, doing all three hearts and buy their ore surpluss supply will net you 750 ore a day. Combine that with the Frozen Ice and getting all 3000 ore is really quick.

[@lavenderlovee]

What hearts, in what area plz?

[@calum3211]

@@lavenderloveeI believe he’s on about the domain of Istan for the 3k kralk

[@tomgaksidokkaebi5467]

Little hint I found out while doing Visions of THK: using wardrobe unlocks or similar items has a chance of unlocking dragonsblood weapon skins which then does not force you to craft all 6 of them - once the skins are acc bound and u have 6 of them you can buy the according 5g-item for the vision-achi at the volatile vendor in video. For astral weapons in Istan m not sure if they are available with wardrobe unlocks, but if so, same for astral weapons in istan then. At least for THK i can affirm 100% this works.

[@MuklukYoutube]

Oh that's neat I never heard about that method

[@hansguckindieluft5161]

It will take probably a considerable time until i get to this guide again to make vision, but thanks nonetheless, i already took a few things away from it to cross out when i have time/during normal playing :)

[@MrROYpresents]

[@augustaskuprys6289]

Woohoo Finally made Vision, I'm so happy

[@Wolf59200]

Confession: I encountered an unpleasant surprise when looking at the recipes for the astral weapons, I noticed you indeed need 3.000 kralkatite ore, but also 3.000 powdered rose quartz, which are not as easy to bypass as a reagents as kralkatite ore. It seems the fastest way is to do it as it was intended: farming it in Istan (which makes you inevitably farm kralkatite ore at the same time).

[@cquilliam]

EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ THIS FIRST. I just got caught on this, was so concerned with the 3000 kralkatite ore and farming ice shards during my 7 day timegate, and did not know about the powdered rose quartz.

[@trishtrash9339]

Hardest Part: - 250 map currency (+ 3k Istan currency) - 18 daily crafting (xunlai)

editing in this vid was top class. fuckin jokes mate

[@skieochre3745]

I think it's important to note that doing hearts isn't really the way to get kralk ingots if you're getting them via Istan, or want to speed up the use of ice shards. The proper way is mining meteors. Which when fully upgrade can give you a lot of ore every 15 minutes + Powdered Rose Quartz which you also need. The latter can be bought, but you'd still save on money.

[@farragun3131]

Is it okay to double click kralkatite ore?

[@ChaiLatte13]

Didn't realize you could do the reward tracks to get those items. Good to know. Is that also true for LS3? I hate going back into the story and doing achieves there. What's insane is that I've done a lot of this in order to get more armor unlocks to better my chance when opening guaranteed wardrobe, armor and weapon unlocks. lol

[@JoshSweetvale]

Whenever you open the mist shard box associated to a certain "body part", you'll also get a recipe to make that same body part for the other 2 types of weight. So, you can just craft the other 3 heavy armor pieces in your armorsmith, as long as you already unlocked one of the 3 types of armor for that specific piece.

[@MuklukYoutube]

The ones that are achievement based are mostly retroactive with some exceptions.

[@AlexDraco]

Out of all of the "Visions" of the first collection, I feel Istan has to be the most painful so far... I mean, i've already completed Sandswept Isles and Jahai, and i'm well on my way to have Thunderpeaks finished as well ; but Istan? That preliminary Kralkatite research requires a minimum of seven days to be completed... and then, there's the whole Brandstone farming to get the 3000 Kralkatite ore, which is a massive grind as well (without mentioning the somewhat tedious mini-game that goes with it)

[@shawnwsl]

is WvW track faster or doing the pve faster

[@Lvsse11-1]

[@yaminolotus6714]

You could have mention powdered rose quartz as well since you didn't mention it.

[@checix69]

on gw2 efficiency it says that the cost of the item is 2k gold. is it the price for the item if you go on shortcuts or even with all grind and completing things on your own you must spend that much amount of money anyways?

[@MuklukYoutube]

That is the price if you paid current trading post price to buy every tradable ingredient involved instead of doing any of that yourself. You can connect your API to gw2 efficiency so that it will calculate how much more you need to get but taking into account what you already have in your material storage.
