GW2’s next legendary weapon set will have six types each

As a game often dubbed “Fashion Wars 2”, the legendary weapon is the pinnacle of Guild Wars 2 customization. Players already know that all 16 land weapons will receive new legendary versions, inspired by the old dragon Aurene, with the launch of the End of Dragons expansion in February, but that doesn’t. absolutely correct – like ArenaNet revealed today, that number would actually be 96 instead of, replace.

Don’t worry, that doesn’t mean the development team will be working 18 hours a day for the next two months to put everything into the expansion. Instead, each of the 16 weapons will have six types: a “basic” version using Aurene’s prismatic nature and colors, and another five based on the five elder dragons that were slain. hitherto. Only the core Aurene versions will be available at the launch of the expansion, with the remaining five to follow.

And you also won’t need to farm materials for 18 hours a day to get each version. You will only need to forge each weapon once, then “you will begin your journey with it to use it with the spells of other Elder Dragons”, which will not require “consuming tons of resources “. That initial spend, however, will be on par with previous legendaries, and will be familiar to seasoned GW2 players: precursors and a host of resources, some of which will require new expansion operations, like fishing. As in the past, many of these resources can be purchased on the trading station, if you are rich enough.

Don’t forget that you can still make money for free by completing achievements references to chapters from previous Living World seasons. That’s what I’m going through now, hoping to forge my fifth legendary weapon when the expansion drops. What, doesn’t everyone have four dictionaries?
