ArenaNet Staff Byron Miller.4629 Posted September 12, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted September 12, 2018 Hey folks,Just wanted to give you all a heads up about a change that is coming to future raids. With the next raid wing, we will be introducing a new type of Legendary Trophy: Legendary Divinations. These will replace Legendary Insights in the new raid wing, as well as in the Hall of Chains instance. In addition, we will be offering all players the opportunity to exchange up to 168 Legendary Insights for Legendary Divinations if you’ve killed at least one boss in the Hall of Chains raid wing. This adds up to 4 Legendary Divinations per week for the 42 weeks that Hall of Chains has been available, and serves as a means through which you can catch up to the maximum possible available Legendary Trophies that would have been available had we shipped with Legendary Divinations back in November 2017.

DarkEagle.7381 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I spend all my LI on legendary armor crafting so I have very little in my bank at any given time. Is there a limited time to do this exchange or will I be able to exchange the 168 later down the road should I so choose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linken.6345 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Thanks for the chance to upgrade even if you havent killed all the bosses every week in wing 5.How long will you be able to upgrade it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shejesa.3712 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 As I understood it, you basically want newer players to have a bit less of an issue with KP when joining for PoF raids? I just hope it won't timegate or have any negative impact on our ability to craft the rign on the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lascax.2163 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Can we expect new items for these new trophies? I do hope there are more sinks for these mats since once one has got like 3 Leg Armor sets LIs are usually useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valandor.9506 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Sounds interesting. Wonder for what we gonna be able to use this new currency. Just a question to clarify something:Let's assume I never did a boss of Wing 5 at all, but once a friend offered me to join in and get the River event in Wing 5 while they were basically already close to done and I just waited dead at the entrance and grabed my loot after - which obviously is not a problem and legit.Will I be able to exchange the same maximum amount of Legendary Insights into Legendary Divinations as someone who killed all Wing 5 bosses every week?I guess, you can see where I am going with that.

If you're working on your armor right now, you could choose to complete it and then exchange any further insights you acquire at your leisure, provided you've made measurable progress against any one of the encounters in Hall of Chains.

Malediktus.9250 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Seems like a pointless change if you can exchange 168 LI for LD unless new rewards require vastly more than 168 LD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mireles Lore.5942 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Is the participation requirement needed before the patch drops or is that unlimited time frame as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizel.8175 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Another additional (and stupid) layer to the LI/KP-system to split the playerbase even further...Upon release of W6: "W6 - 500 LI + 150 LD - [...]". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonami.2987 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Won't this make wings 1 to 4 irrelevant? Why not make some sort of Legendary Insight sink instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddoctor.2738 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 This does look like it should've been from the start. Legendary Armor being the reward from Heart of Thorns raids, not Path of Fire, or future, Raids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vjasal.6315 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 What is someone already have all 3 sets of legendary armor and still a lot of insights left. Do you plan to add some some other recipes/sinks that will use Legendary Insights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not make some sort of Legendary Insight sink instead?The sink for LIs remains the same - legendary insignias -> precursor armor pieces -> legendary pieces. Either use it as cheap ascended crafting or for more armor sets.Let me elaborate:Veterans only raid 1-4 because LIs were useful for the legendary ring. There's nothing left for you in 1-4 if you already got all the skins and minis.If you're a veteran, you're drowning in ascended weapon and armor chests, so you don't need to buy any ascended equipment. Also, you have the legendary armor anyway.A possible sink could be converting LIs into magnetite, and then let people buy expensive titles and buffs using magnetite, much like Fractal God.
