I was on guru earlier this morning, and I came upon a thread where the OP wrote the following:
As with last night’s post (I believed it was deleted), I have sent a PM to one of the devs in the official forum, and I have received this reply.
“Thank you very much for letting us know about this! I brought this up with some of the designers, and they believe they’ve fixed the issue. Is there any way you could confirm this?
I look forward to hearing from you!”Jason King
To those hoping to get legendary precursors through this method, it has either been removed or drastically reduced to get the chances of getting it. The remaining weapons in my account shall remained locked till I figure out what to do with them.
I am very pleased that the game is a better state for now
To which another poster posted the following:
Alright, last night’s post was about me making at least 900+ gold off the TP (my screenshot had 750G in my bank), but I’m now currently sitting at 100 gold because I bought off the TP’s dawns/dusk because of this exploit (I have in total 15 GS precursors).
This method goes like this
1) Craft 2 Godskull GS + 2 Carrion Krait Slayer (rare), 2 65s + 2 80s = chance for exotic. Any 4 rares in the past can upgrade to precursors. I also believe that creating dusk/dawn is related to time and not random. I kept getting dawns in the morning and dusks during the night time. I have no clue about whether exotics now can change into a precursor.
2) It costs 60 silvers when I initially crafted it. I can sell the exotics that I get for average 3.5 G even at 20% chance. You can’t really lose money.
3) If I get precursor, immediately profit 50-100 times by selling it at 60-70 G.I was sickened by the players’ attitudes who were trying to profit from people that I immediately started undercutting people by selling it at 60G and then buying all the remaining people’s 80-90G dusks/dawns to prevent monopoly of the market. The 100G weapons are out of my reach, unfortunately.
From my understanding of this, there was a “exploit” with the use of rare level greatswords in the mystic forge.
Apparently you were never supposed to be able to get the pre-cursors with “rare” level weapons and that method has now either been removed or greatly reduced.
I and many others are very confused at this point and would like some clarification on the matter. I’m not sure why there isn’t just a set recipe, so people can just avoid this rng fiasco, but that is not the choice for me to make.
In conclusion I would like to ask the following:
1. Can we still attain the pre-cursors from lvl 75-80 rare weapons in mystic forge.
2. Can we still attain the pre-cursors from lvl 75-80 exotic weapons in the mystic forge.
3. If no to all of the above, can we get a set recipe, instead of having to rely on world mob drops?
