Danikat.8537 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 As well as precursors isn't that basically what all the 'mystic forge weapons' like Whisper Blade, The Anomaly, Infinite Light, and Mjölnir are? Each one has a unique skin, usually with some special effects, and is created via a small collection (not tracked in the achievement panel).This page lists all the ones made with an Eldrich Scroll, but I think there might be more: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Eldritch_Scroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanBB.4268 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Some of the Gem Store skins might fit the bill as well: Equinox, Frostforged, and Arcane Marksman for example.Or are you looking for something else? You didn't really state what qualities you hope for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega.6801 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Nope, a long term goal is a long term goal. If you don't want to do the "thing" you don't deserve the reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game of Bones.8975 Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 So you want to create another rarity of weapon that sits between the Ascended and Legendary? I don't have a problem with that. Give it a SINGLE ability from the other Legendary list of fun things (Draw/Stow animation, Footfalls, Aura, or a Skill effect) but not Stat Swapping. The ability to change a weapon's combat abilities without cost should be limited to the Legendary class. Have the animation be chosen as a part of the crafting process.Weapon skins come out all the time, so having a new skin is a non-issue and the other animations don't affect game-play at all. Only the Stat Swapping ability could possible affect other players, so remove that aspect altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zahld.4956 Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 Okay partial stat swapping with effects swapping and don't call it a legendary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it for the flashier infusions for two reasonsIt's a lot of fun, to pop e.g. the blue face of cosmic or the green hue of polyundulates.It's a helpful visual cue, reminding which weapon set I'm using. (Don't you use hate when your muscle memory does the rotation for /torch, but you are wielding /focus?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ototo.3214 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I wouldn't mind weapons that are already precursors maybe getting a little more flair but other than that, no. There are tons of non-legendaries with somewhat fancy effects already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
