erapago.4387 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I'm never gonna financially recover from not building a legendary rune at a couple hundred gold before the Legendary Relic patch came out (which now hovers around 1.5K gold). 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chyro.1462 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 How do you need to financially recover from money you haven't spent? The legendary relic is a QoL luxury, there's no obligation to craft it. 6 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manpag.6421 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 There is another way other than buying them: let them accumulate over time, and gradually work towards the relic. Refine them into lucent crystal every time your material storage gets full, then when you have 750, make a mystic facet. It'll take time, but there's no rush because it's a minor QoL upgrade. Once you have your legendary relic, you can start benefitting from the high price as bonus income just from salvaging. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a long time before I have enough but I'm not in a rush. I expected the price to drop more quickly than it has, but I don't mind waiting to craft it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Player.2475 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Even if the prices drop to their original price, you'd be saving around 20g on it. Worry more about the 550g worth of other resources. Now's a good time to buy mystic coins since their price dropped by 15% due to season refresh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthan.5236 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Either wait ... or slooooooooowly work on it. (Though with how expensive even normal runes and relics get nowadays ... I guess I'd slowly work on it now. That way it feels less expensive. While going for other stuff spent a bit of money in between every now and then on the mats needed for the relic.) For new players I am not sure if it is a good (being able to sell stuff at higher price - even the ectos are a lot higher nowadays) or a bad (runes and relics expensive) thing. At least as long as they don't want to get into pro elitist groups a lot will be possible without that though and the expansion relics have their own vendor. But the core stuff got expensive. (Though for runes the mote prices dropped a bit again after they heavily increased when people rushed to do the "1 rune get the relic for free".)

Mistwraithe.3106 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Legendary Runes haven't been a couple of hundred gold for a long time... Get a Runecrafter's Salvage Kit and as others have said build up the ingredients over time is probably the best bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 61 mystic coins required cost 118g 93s 78c and if you'd bought them a week ago (at the highest price they've been since March) it would have cost 130g 54s, so currently you're only saving about 12g. It's possible the price will drop a bit further, but so far we're not seeing the fluctuations in line with WV refreshes a lot of people predicted. The price jumped up in August when the WV was announced, then dropped just as rapidly to the original level after it was released, then resumed the previous trend of rising steadily (March - August 2023 was the lowest the price had been since about 2016) until 25th January when the price dropped (oddly enough the day legendary relics were announced) and have been relatively steady since then. Of course prices always fluctuate but we're not seeing predictable, signicant drops and rises in line with WV seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were 2.15g+ when I wanted to buy them last week, so I'm happy to be able to buy 500 for 1.9g each instead. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was suggesting a way to save 12g now as opposed to potentially saving 20g on a 600g craft if said user either built a time machine or waited for years for the market to maybe return to its previous state. Edit: Ah, nevermind. It's about the Legendary Relic, not runes. Well, sorry to hear about that OP, Hindsight is 20/20, but I doubt that the prices will drop anytime soon given how overpriced Relics are. Doesn't help that they're soulbound.

This is by design, I believe. Anet wants players actually playing the game and not just immediately gaining things with little to no effort. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindBlade.8749 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 (edited) If that make you feel better to know i got my legendary relic for free as a compensation to crafting leg runes before so my gold wallet is fine.
