Need WvW legendary weapons

Some of us have skirmish tickets with nothing worthwhile to buy. How about the ability to upgrade our WvW ascended weapons to legendary quality (same skin) so we can stat and sigil swap at will?

There are already legendary weapons in the game.

So you want a path to upgrade Ascended to Legendary with no investment in materials? I don't think you understand one of the purposes of Legendary gear.

Well he's probably referring to legendary armor since that is obtainable via WvW but that is not nearly the same as legendary weapons. So I also don't see reason to do this. Legendary weapons are a real pain to get but it's fair in that sense and I think it would upset a great deal of people if they did what the OP is asking for.

I mean the obsidian weapons are pvp/wvw unique to the game type, about as close as were going to get to game type specific weapons I think. Honestly was surprised when they came out with the armor sets for wvw and pvp. Never know what the future holds but at this point in time I just don't see it and don't see an implementation that would be a healthy way for it to happen.

Guessing he is specifically asking for something similar to the legendary wvw armor. Which doesn't get the skins, just the purple item color and the ability to swap stats.

Legendary Wvw gear (armor) already needs the gift of condensed might & magic materials. It serves as the same gold sink.

1st gen Legendary weapons aren't accountbound though, so this isn't a huge deal.

If you want to make it a difficult WvW player only weapon, require "Ultimate Dominator" title or every single WvW title besides Ultimate dominator. It's a far better approach than rank since some players farmed EoTM.

For example if you replace Gift of Exploration in the 1st gen recipe with a new requirement of talking to the backpiece guy (Legendary Commander War Razor) to get a Gift of War weaponmastery or whatever you want to call it you open a ton of possible requirements.

Using existing legendary WvW armor recipe it would be a precursor plus:Gift of War Prosperity (Gift of Battle , 15 Mystic Clovers , Gift of condensed magic, condensed might)Gift of War Prowess (1095 skirmish tickets, cube of stabilized dark energy , 50 spirit shards , 50 obsidian shards)Gift of War Dedication (500 badges of honor, 250 testimonies of heroics, 100 spirit shards, 250 memory of battle)This isn't inline with 2nd gen legendary pricing so the precursor needs to be around 1000g in materials (preferably the ones that drop in WvW heavy loot bags).

They should have go that root long ago, blank default weapons skins with ability to swich stats and now sigils. Instead of trying to please every player with the legendary skin/effects.I'll aslo support this should be available per game mode.

OS farming got a lot of people their UD title. No biggie there, as well.

Most of the second generation legendary weapons require no pve, they may as well be wvw legendaries.

I wish I had skirmish tickets to burn, I'm still working on my second legendary armor set.

Adding material boxes like you can get with laurels makes more sense if we desperately need a ticket sink. Skins and armor have all my tickets spent for the next year at my going rate.

Eh, quit being lazy and pve a legendary wep, just like pvers have to wvw for the GoB which should be a track in pvp as well since both are pvp content but that just won't happen either.

This is completely false. Yea you can make the Precursor with just materials you can buy from the TP, but the items for the legendary itself takes map completion (gift of the fleet etc), and map currency (gift of the nuhoch etc). If you go the desert route instead then theres still Funerary Incense.

Sure, I get that ... it appears the OP doesn't.

If you look at gw2efficiency unlock statistics it's really low compared to the other titles regardless of if people farmed it.https://gw2efficiency.com/account/unlock-statistics?filter.category=13

Realm Avenger (Ultimate Dominator) = 641 of 197,814 (0.324%)A Pack Dolyak's Best Friend (Leader of the Yak) = 4,831 of 197,814 (2.442%)Walls Get in the Way (Camp Counselor) = 5,397 of 197,814 (2.728%)All We See, We Own (Plays for Keeps) = 7,513 of 197,814 (3.798%)

This has always been GW2's pit fall.

PvP content actively impairs your gear progression.

Playing pvp content costs you time, in a grind centered game, time is the most precious resource.
