Hel Thanatos.2346 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Hi all, can anyone confirm to me if i crafted the legendary runes now would i still get that relic progress for when it gets released or do i needed to have crafted the runes before the expansion release ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgotten Legend.9281 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) No one can until the second quarterly update (estimated in February) when they are added to the game... Anet's track record indicates that they won't say anything until release either. Edit: I personally speculate that there will be a huge uproar if the "progress" has a deadline.

Hel Thanatos.2346 Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 Oh so no one knows if we are going to get progress for it for people that have legendary runes ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuscleBobBuffPants.1406 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 You are going to get "significant progress" toward a legendary relic. Whatever that means! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hel Thanatos.2346 Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 I just wish i knew the conditions for that though, do i need to have the runes now, is it ok if i craft them after relic is released... im lost on this 1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorani.7205 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I expect ANet to hand out "fragments" for each legendary rune you have (see a concept I posted here before: ) people without legendary runes would have to craft all the fragments for a complete "Gift of Relics" from the start, while Legendary Rune owners would get fragments as a compensation. We will know next year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hel Thanatos.2346 Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 Fair enough i guess i wont lose much if i end up crafting them i guess... might as well just be done with it p.p, ty vm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelHero.5849 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I'm of mixed minds: On the one hand, crafting runes now will give you "some progress" towards a relic as well. On the other hand, the crafting cost of runes should be tuned down once the relic is released, as they have removed arguably the most significant part of why people build legendary runes. ~2.8k gold equivalent for stat changes is ridiculous. Once they compensate people for investing in runes already, there will probably be a hard date-switch where the price is adjusted and compensation is no longer given after that date. So crafting now costs more, but gets you progress toward the relic. Crafting later *may* be cheaper, but gets you no secondary progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hel Thanatos.2346 Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 Yea thats one of the other things that is hiting my mind so im stuck on what to choose, i got enough materials and gold to craft my my gen 2 shining blade but i want the leggy relic, and some progress on it would make me wondrous but i dunno how much progress if ofered or how it will even work, i think im still going to go to runes just because once its done is done, and cry later in case was not the best option regardless im still doing both later i guess...

Blockhead Magee.3092 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I foresee a cluster that mirrors the poorly thought out template/build system. Instead of careful thought and planning, it'll be a lot of grand proclamations that don't remotely work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hel Thanatos.2346 Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 That and i can see them nerf the classes so bad i dont have much hope, well i guess it aint as bad as 7 years ago during hot or pof but i dont think itll go as smooth class balancing....

Hel Thanatos.2346 Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 Well it depends companies care to a degree when their profits are hurt, though i have taken notice anet cares more then BlizzardActivision or Square Enix for example, but that is not saying much, companies are companies i personally do not trust them unless i am presented with proper content from their games, to the point where i literally blacklisted a ton of them, won't purchase games of any companies i blacklisted no matter how good it turns out to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illuminati.8453 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I would use the mats on other legendary items. It is just too much of a risk right now given their communications have been poor on the subject and from what we have heard it looks like they were totally taken by surprise about people owning legendary runes wanting compensation. Besides, those Gifts of Craftsmanship are going to be needed for armor. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hel Thanatos.2346 Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 True i guess i could go for my shining blade, i got all raid sets though, so depending on how good the new ones look i might ignore them for awhile, unfortunately the best legendary weapons for me are still gen 1 and 2 though i got all of the gen ones:P. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
