Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 You can salvage ectoplasm for crystalline dust and plenty of essences. Otherwise, buy more green unids. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just keep hoarding more lower tiers and Artificing them, ull get there faster than expected. Maybe some Mini-dungeons on the side like Vasburg can help. There is of course Mad King's Labyrinth, the bags do tend to give some luck, I get around 7-12 Exotic Lucks, and 30-60 Rare Lucks to go with it, per every 250 I open.

Thank you MercurialKuroSludge….thought I saw somewhere that there were Karma or Laurel Vendors that had Luck, but never actually needed it til now, making my Legendary weapon….Will go back and run Mad King’s for sure!

You get a lot of Blu Lucks from it, with very few Exotics, so Artificing them into Exotics is required after you salvage stacks of gear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remus Darkblight.1673 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 11 minutes ago, APrincessOfAlot.4735 said: Can salvaging blues/greens get luck? Yes, salvaging gear can give luck. Just salvage everything you get and keep the luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueIce.6951 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 You likely will not want to wait, but there is also the Lunar New Year coming up in a few months. That will give you a bunch of luck. You should easily be able to get a stack of 250 exotic luck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green gear always gives luck when salvaged (I don't know why it's specifically green gear, but it is). So yeah, just keep salvaging every green item you find, and using your Artificer to merge it all together, and you'll eventually get what you need. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Can also buy them from Lyrh in the Wizard's Tower if you have SotO, I forget the exact exchange rate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Forestman.4758 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Map metas, fractals, and raids give tons of unidentified gear. Salvage all of that (whether you open it first or not) and you'll get tons of luck coming in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randulf.7614 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Articifer and salvaging will get you what you need in a few days. I have 500 in my bank from the last couple of weeks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandolf.6048 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 Do the RIBA farm or Halloween farm. Break down everything and then combine lower tier luck as needed. I have 1000 exotic essence after doing this for about a week and a half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elricht Kaltwind.8796 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 (edited) I'm very fortunate because, for some reason unknown to myself, I started hoarding these things years ago. Now I have over 1,000 in my bank lol Edited November 2 by Elricht Kaltwind.8796 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baseendje.8452 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 The wiki is always a great resource for these kinds of questions: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Essence_of_Luck_(exotic) Since you say you have no more use for the lower tier ones, one good method would be to upgrade those to exotic tier with an artificer, if you have time you can get a lot during the Lunar New Year event from the lucky bags. Finally if you are in a hurry you can salvage ectoplasms which gives you a ton of luck. This may seem expensive but remember you will also get Crystalline Dust from this which you can sell on the tp again (or use to upgrade tier 5 to tier 6 crafting components) to make up for the gold you invested.

idpersona.3810 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 I just horde the essences from breaking down all Unid gear. Then use an Artificer to upgrade all of them to the needed Exotic Essence of Luck. If you need some on short notice and are willing to dump gold into it, you can always break down Ectos as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
