medivh.4725 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 (edited) Dear Anet, "Unlocks your choice of an End of Dragons Legendary Precursor weapon. Redeemable in End of Dragons. Once this item has been acquired, it can be safely sold or discarded." For 5 golds I normally sell it there and then. No questions asked. However, what makes it confusing I think, is that it also says "Redeemable in End of Dragons." Obviously I want that "Choice of an End of Dragons Legendary Precursor weapon" as well. It even says "Can be safely sold or discarded". Now who the hell will discard this worth of 5 gold piece. Help. If sell do we forfiet choice of precursor later? My guildies have mixed answers, some sell some keep. I value the choice of precursor more then 5 gold. If wait and keep it, how long more must I keep this item? "Once this item has been acquired, it can be safely sold or discarded." So is it safe to sell/salvage this item or do I need it like token to unlock the new precursor? It is kinda confusing - submitted by SpitefulShrimp For referencing: Edited October 28, 2021 by medivh.4725 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibson.4036 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I think it's pretty clear we can vendor it and still get the precursor. And yet, I still have mine safely tucked in my inventory. 😄 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witch of Doom.5739 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I've been burned before with something similar. Some weapon where the notes before release implied you didn't need the previous version to get an upgraded one, but then surprise surprise, you did. So I'm keeping this thing until the Legendary Weapon is crafted and safely in my inventory. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobx.1758 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 It clearly says "Once acquired, can be safely sold or discarded". It wouldn't say that if it was an actual currency to trade for a precursor. I sold mine, no doubt here, but you can do whatever you want 😄 2 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can wait till I have the precursor to free up the space and get the gold. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pifil.5193 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I sold mine, I can't imagine that it's actually required to get the precursor, imagine all the support tickets from people who took it at face value. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe read the reddit page and see people's opinion. If you sell now you can't redeem cursor. It is a trade off which you have to decide. Then go and ask yourself, is 5 g important or the precursor weapon important. Which one is more valuable "Safely sold at the expense of your precursor" more like it Edited October 28, 2021 by medivh.4725 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vayne.8563 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 2 hours ago, medivh.4725 said: Huh? The key words here are safely and discarded. If you can SAFELY discard it, you obviously won't get five gold. Therefore, whether you sell it or discard it, you get a precursor either way. There is no real question. People are just insecure because some things in the past have been labelled in misleading ways or not labeled at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fear.3865 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Imagine put "Once this item has been acquired, it can be safely sold or discarded" in the description and people still ask if they can sell it safely. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danikat.8537 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 It's like the items for the Court Duty achievements, you could sell them and still 'show' them to the courtiers for Court Duty: Where Lunatics Dare because the game tracked whether you had it based on the achievement, not based on whether the item is in your inventory or not. The only difference here is the item isn't marked as junk and is worth more. I suspect it would confuse some people if an item which will give you a precursor was marked as junk. Maybe the original intention was that you'd have to keep it but they realised a lot of people would lose or misplace it before EoD launched so it was easier to just require the achievement be completed rather than actually having the item because otherwise they'd have a whole mess of support tickets to deal with. Having said that if you want to keep it until EoD launches and you've got your precursor you can obviously do that. The only difference it will make is delaying when you get the 5g. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaxares.5419 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I'm hanging onto mine until EoD launch just in case, but I'm sure you'd be able to sell it safely since if it WAS needed to exchange for the precursor, there will be a ton of angry/distressed tickets to Support asking for help getting it back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
