There has been some discussion lately on twitter regarding legendaries and ascended bits and crafting – and it inspired me to maybe go after my own. I don’t own any of the legendaries, and the only ascended stuff I even know about is the vendor sold stuff at the laurel merchant along with the PVP merchant. I didn’t know there was crafted stuff (side note, the website gw2efficiency.com is amazing).
It’s inspiring to watch other people go after these huge items – but when I look at what’s involved, it’s also completely daunting. Still.. I could use a big in-game project, no?
Have you gone after any legendaries or ascended items before? Was it as daunting a task as it sounds? Let me know in comments, and as always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!
It all depends on what you plan on doing in the game. If you are a “min-max”-er type then sure, every tiniest number helps a lot but if you are casual PVEr I don’t think its worth the time. Getting all the mats and gold is just more tedious than watching the grass grow.
Crafting ascended weapons is a pretty reasonable project, and it makes a surprisingly large difference to your character’s power lever. Ascended armor takes either ages or tons of gold. Legendaries take ages and tons of gold.
