Something to note: to buy Antique Summoning Stones from Leivas you will need to have the last Mastery of the Arborstone ones unlocked. Somewhat easy to miss on the wiki imo

That grunt after saying “Pick the one you think is hot” made me spit out my drink. You’re the best

If you really hate WvW, you can do the daily quest that gives you WvW reward track potion. It takes about 80 potions to fill a path from 0, and each daily quest gives 1 or 2 potion, for a total of 6 per day. Really speeds up the pocess if you want the gift of battle.

Something they also don't really tell you in most guides. Those Gift recipes, cost you another 80 gold ONTOP of the materials needed to craft them, at least the first time you go for a legendary.

Great stuff as always, Muk! Before, it always seemed like a fleeting dream whenever I think about Legendary weapons, now I have two crafted legendaries, Sunrise and Aurora, thanks to your guides Muk! The motivation of doing it in my own pace has really helped me craft two pieces of art.

Edit: So unfortunately this method no longer works. You can do the meta twice like I mentioned but the choice chest will only drop from the first bouncy chest. No more point to do it more than once per day. Here's a neat little trick you can do to make getting antique summoning stones easier. Do the Dragon's End meta, but when you're done, don't accept the bouncy chest. Then, go do it again on a different character. You'll have gotten the bouncy chest containing the summoning stone again. This can theoretically be repeated as many times as you can handle in a 24 hour period for up to 12 stones a day. Just make sure you accept the bouncy chests before reset happens, otherwise you won't be able to get summoning stones for the next day.

Oh god, that “what one are we building next” hit me uncomfortably hard. I’m reminded of Illidan: The Hunter is nothing without the hunt. Excellent vid Muk

Very good and analytical guide, great content as always!

Thank you for explaining why I would want a legendary. The benefits might actually be useful to me as I'm always trying new builds! 🤩👍

Noxxi almost had to be intitutionalized for this. Thank you for your service Noxx

Gen3 sword was my second-ever legendary and it was actually much faster to get than Twilight, because you kinda get into the groove with legendaries. What helped me A LOT, was the "mandatory fishing" I did for the title/rod, naturally gave me tons of ambergris. Once I started selling excess ambergris, I realized just how much money I was getting (I think like 800g around the time I built the sword). That alone funded the sword pretty much. Fishing henceforth also funded my other legendaries, because it truly feels like the highest amount of gold you can do alone, without highly specialized gear/characters or skills. Can't recommend it enough. All in all I'd definitely recommend an aurene leggy. They look good, the trails are great, the kill effects are fun and you can adjust the theme as they get released (I have kralk on my mesmer, for example). Although the style/skin unlocks are much more unreasonably expensive. 400g for a purely cosmetic change is a tad rough.

TIL lighting lanterns gives you the Gifts of the EOD zones and this is after I already made a Gen3 Legendary! I was getting ready to make more Gen3s and I had my alts do the standard map completion (twice again which I really didn't like doing because those of darn Renown Hearts). I could have avoided that completely! I knew that is method is used in SoTO for the legendary armor but I didn't know it started with EoD. I'm glad I finally watched this video, thanks Mukluk!

Made Aurenes Weight for my Untamed Ranger main shes a power build. I also use Pharus longbow on her given i like to fight long ranged. I noticed this as well using Pharus the finisher the crystal crater appears while using my longbow. Its pretty neat to see the beam of light and the crater. It might show up on other weapons too.

Lovely guide for new players. Thanks for your work~

Great guide. I chose to craft legendary sigils first because I can use them on any weapon of any quality. Seemed like the more versatile and gold efficient way to me, at least when you have multiple characters.

Holy crap, I KNEW looking up a guide was useful. I just completed all EoD maps and checked what else I need and thought I had to farm additional Lamplighters Badges via additional map completion, as I dodn't notice they were tradable. I even was almost done with illuminating Seitung. Thank goodness I noticed this in time.

You can also get the chunks of Ambergris from the Leviathan meta, up to 10 per day. There are almost always squads up in LFG farming the event.

Thank you clububub, this is the 5th video of yours I watched, and still I am unable to pronounce your name. Please keep at it, loved the videos.

i'll probably make the sword. after i'm done with my current project and the ones after it. making the gen 2 hammer, then all legendary runes, then all legendary light armor, then coalescence, then conflux... _help_

Eyyyy Noxxi is out of editing hell! Congrats!

I crafted Aurene's Argument because I loved the pistol. But I also needed money to craft Legendary Runes so I was torn between keeping it and selling it.

I just finished my first gen3 and felt all the feelings described. Something that tripped me up during the process - mystic runestones require a core Tyria mastery to purchase.

making legendary are like an addiction , once you starterd you NEVER stop

You can get 1 Antique Summoning Stone daily from Dragons End meta. Also, weekly there is 1 A.S.S. from each EoD strike on challenge mode, so realistically talking another 3 from here. Unrealistically if you do weekly HT CM (what kind of madman are you), you can get 4

thank you so much :D

heh i still have the precursor chest for the gen 3 legendary i have no idea which one to pic and i wasnt sure how diffucult it would be to get a gen 3 leggy. but after seeing this, its not actually that bad so im gonna pick one that a lot of my toons use ( probs sword i think)

thanks!

I started playing a couple weeks ago and one of the reasons i decided to get into the game was legendary weapons, and aurene weapons are hands down my favourites, but man it's discouraging to think i felt good about hitting 100g the other day. Will start working on skyscale in the next days, then on ascended gear... Anyway, at this point i wonder if it isnt just easier to farm the couple thousand golds and buy the leggy off the TP.

Hopefully 1 day I'll have legendary or ascended items

I also made Aurene’s Persuasion, funny enough I made it in 2 days lmao, I wasn’t planning on making another leggy weapon but I had majority of the materials needed, I’m waiting for Jormag’s variant so it’s soon named “Jormag’s Persuasion” 😂

I have the pre-cursor for Aurene's hammer but I don't use hammer that often (only on revenant pretty much and i already have an ascended one on it). I'm thinking on crafting the greatsword since i have two warriors, a necro, revenant and mesmer and would probably use it more on those. Would you consider it worth it to craft the legendary hammer first, selling it and then crafting the gs? Or go for the GS straight up and save the hammer precursor for another time?

This is the big one! Liking for ye ole algorithm

I only now noticed that your gloves have a rainbow effect. Is that from the leggy trinket that gives the rainbow aura or something else? I've never gloves with a rainbow effecr

is there any reason to not combine the 4 gifts to make gift of cantha?

I made my 1st Gen 3 Legendary recently, the Scepter, and you covered this pretty well. I think it only looks like a lot/overwhelming if it is your 1st or 2nd legendary. Having made a bunch of them now, both Gen 1 & 2, I have to say Gen 3 is easier. Mystic Clovers is always the biggest hurdle because I refuse to mystic toilet mystic coins to make them because the drop rate SHOULD BE guaranteed but it SO isn't. I've gotten a Clover drop rate of about 5-10% before and it is Infuriating. Especially on ones that also require a drop of 250 Mystic Coins w/no way around it On Top of making Clovers. However, the gap of waiting for Daily log-in to get me my Clovers does give me time to amass all the other items needed effortlessly. My Leggie Scepter cost me in the end about 100 Gold (+however many 1 gold a week I gave to the sylvari trader dude on the way to 100 ASS). Now what REALLY disappoints me is the Elder Dragon variants. I was so pumped for these, thinking we'd get extra story bits and/or REAL quests like we did for HOPE, or Chuka & Champawat, but no, no no, nay nay! It is just give us crap tons more mats for a skin.... 😑🤨🤔😤 Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! So I've decided I don't care and I'll wait till all of them are out to see if any of them are cool enough to even bother with. So disappointing.... 😞

I'd rather just save gold and just buy it off the trading post. Unless, you really want to get that sense of accomplishment, achievement points, and whatever else it it unlocks from doing it yourself. Oh, and if you don't mind waiting for a while; the prices will drop just like the gen 1 legos did. I got all the ones I wanted at at a nice price.

thanks for the Awesome guide, I have a question if you have time. when you craft it, does it unlock directly into your Armory, or it gives you the weapon into your inventory, then you can choose to use it or not? in 11.11 time it shows it has been unlocked into your account!

Some more info, 1. If this is your first legendary, or you never crafted gen 2, the recepies for gift of condensed might and magic will cost 80 gold to buy (10g for each gift of #mats#). 2. If you plan to fish, and if you have more karma, instead of spending sliver to buy lure you can buy it using karma from a heart vendor in seitinge province (he will be in South East, near the shore) 3. You can get an ascended weapon from doing "return to " achievement.

im on my way to make pistol , might make rifle after if they dont nerf dps mech

New player here, for me it looks like you can only get these materials from the newest expension?

Hey mukluk can you make a guide how to get the gen 3 variant for example gen 3 soo won scale skin i think its called the shield

Or you can do silverwaste metas + other fast goldfarming activities and just straight up buy one from trading post which is faster and sometimes more fun.

Missed your tutorial videos man.

The only bad thing about gen3 legendary weapons is that they're all dragon themed. That doesn't work for everybody. It's not that I think they're ugly but they just don't fit my aesthetic/style, so I won't get any of them and that leaves me with very little to do in Cantha. Gen1 and 2 weapons had something for everyone and I feel and gen 3 is much more one-sided because of the more uniform style/concepts. Again, I don't hate them, in fact some of them are quite beautiful, they're just not for me. The upside: it's good for my wallet lol.

Gen 3 hammer is hands down the best legendary I wver made, and I've made a few. Best hammer in the game imo

Hi, Am I correct that as of 21st July 2023 there are only two leggy underwater weapons. Thanks

After making Bifrost, this feels like a piece of cake. I’m three ingredients down in less than two months.

1600g is fine to made the longbow ?

How many hours took you to get a weapon? Including all Masteries needed, map completion, stories and everything else? And is it easier and faster to craft gen 2 Legendary weapon or Gen 3? Not sure if would want to craft Nevermore or Aurene's Insight

I have gotten SO MUCH mileage out of choosing axe for my free gen 3 precursor, I don't regret it at all. I've still only unlocked 1 of the alternate appearance variants, thanks to research notes being kind of a pain in the butt, but when the time comes to make my next legendary weapon from scratch I'll definitely be considering the gen 3 ones

If I make a ax can my ranger/warrior pull out 2 legendardy axes to wield? Great video. This is much easier than making the Gen 1's for sure

Ok mukk I m going to work overtime at my job and use credit card thank you for the video though is to much

I like that they dont need 77 mystic clovers as per gen1 and gen2 legendaries. Will finish Predator and then start crafting the gen 3 staff

The amount of worked required.. I think I would rather farm 2000-2500 G and just buy it. Appreciate the video Mr Muk 🙏🙏

I read it somewhere, before gen 3, you need to have whole world completion, but with gen3, you only need EoD maps complete and that's it?

I got every Gen 1 / Gen 2 Weapon in the game but ill start to get all Gen 3 Legendaries now:) They look rly awesome

if you are looking for the weapon that works on the most classes then the one handed sword works for all but one class (the necromancer is the only one that doesn't use a sword)

Well, tomorrow I start working on Aurene's Might. Wish me luck, I am starting to play again after a three year hiatus!

me, having made 3 of them already: yes! tell me how.

for mystic runestones you need fully leveled legendary mastery from core game

The thing that haunts the nightmares of all the people who actually farmed the Ancient Ambergris(me included): "There are few players remaining on this map. Would you like to move to a more populated version of the same map? *You have 3 minutes and 16 seconds to volunteer before the map closes"* *(SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECCCCCHHHHH)*

Bro what skins r u using for ur armor ur character looks sick

for people who don't know, the recipes for the gift of blood, bones, claws etc are 10g each so you'll have to cough up 80g for those nuts

Nice.

Damn. So for Gen 3 you gonna need to grind ALL the content. :O Atleast raids/strikes are not required

Soooo should I sell it? ;D

If you build a Variant, is it a new legendary or based on the Aurene one? And if it'sbased on the Aurene one, do you keep both skins?

Best way to avoid decision sell or not to sell.. is having not enough money to list the item in the first place :D

does anyone know if you can sell your legendary hammer "The Juggernaut" after making it and using it in your builds. Basically, can you sell it at any point in time after making it?

make me wonder if i better off just by it off market.

Yes, I do already have a gen 3 legendary. Yes, I am still watching this video. No, I will not be taking questions at this time

"Should i sell it?" Then i look at the tp fees kkkkk, also thank you very much i did not know i could buy shards of glory from the trading post, so cheers o7

I've been working on getting the Legandary amulet for a while which will help me prepare for my next projects, if everything goes to plan I should have Prismatic Amulet, Aurora, Vision and a Legendary weapon by the end of the year, I'll also be completely bakrupt but I'll look fabulous doing so. Thanks Muk for such an amazing guide, I'll definitely be coming back to this video several times to finish my first gen 3!!

Rename the video to "How to make Flashbang in GW2"

Hey Muk! Thanks for tips. One question - you always say that the stats are the same like in ascended, but attack is better in legendary. Is it give you more to power dps?

So am I getting this right, I could totally make this rifle without having maxed out huntsman EXCEPT for that one little step, deldrimor steel rifle barrel? 😂

I still don't have a single legendary Item after 6400 hours played.

Man....I have played gw2 on and off since it relesed and i still havent even begang to work on a legendary, i feel so noob. But i dont know how i would be able to do all this lol. It is kinda daunting

Whenever I see videos about crafting legendaries, I'm always like: spend forever trying to get all that stuff, or work 1 day irl and convert gems to gold so I can enjoy the weapon while playing the game >.>

I’ve crafted almost 20 generation 1 Legendary weapons and one generation 2 weapon, but I’ll have to look at the total cost of crafting a generation 3 weapon, because it looks like there might be more profit that can be made from selling a generation 3 weapon, compared to a generation 1.

I didn't know we could buy shards and memories on TP.........

For new players you need to tell them the developers FORCE you to PVP to get mats for crafts .. originally these were available from a currnency non-PVPers got from achievment chests but this was removed in 2016 after PVPers complained non-PVPers had it easy! I wanted to craft a legendary weapon until I dicovered the PVP gate. :(

I totally missed the fact that Gen 3 can be sold like Gen 1.

I like and comment

Mukluk: "getting leggy is Marathon not sprint" Me: watch this In 7 month i Craft all leggy trinket, set of light leggy armor one leggy Rune and one leggy sigil AND iam not done yet.

I was good until one of the requirements was from doing WvW. Not a fan of PvP so I guess no legendary for me...

That greatsword looks like a toothpick. Why can`t they make something with a blade instead of a damn lance?

Ill spend the gold and just buy the weapon. Geezzzz.

First, lets acknowledge Noxxi's editing because they spent a lot of time and sanity in this video, second, i still dont know which weapon to claim my free precursor at D:

The fact that the gift of battle still comes from only wvw is so idiotic. Literally the only reason i don't go for legendaries. Why would i spend hours on something I hate. Horrible game design.

its a shame gen 3 legendaries ( in my opinion ) are all very dissapointing compared to gen 1 and 2

ohh lots of work just give me one LMAO

Yeah, you lost me at collecting "whale vomit", Muk. Consequently, this is yet another aspect of GW2 I won't be "enjoying".

Crying in legendarny wvw armor

tmw you don't have time to do all of this so you're sinking $35 every paycheck into the game to build up the gold to just buy it

unless they dont change gift of battle i dont care about getting leggys whatsoever. Not gonna waste hours to play boring gamemode to get one crucial component for legendaries. They should plan ways of getting all leggies by playing all gamemodes. If someone plays only pvp, he should be able to get everything. Simple, but since its anet they not gonna do anything.

Watches for 9 mins.... Yep not ever going to waste all the time and money for these either, i'll just keep making ascended items daily and wear full ascended.

Not worth it! Are you crazy ??? this takes daily hours of effort you have to put into it and grinding like crazy and even putting down huge amoutns of gold for what??? For a skin and swappable stats??? Sorry but the black lion chest and or gem store skins are often prettier and easier to get!

why i dont have the recipe for the essence of luck?? im lvl 500 🥲
