"Remember when ArenaNet’s Linsey Murdock wrote that blog post in November unveiling the new ascended gear? One of nuggets of information she shared was that new Guild Wars 2 legendary weapons were coming and that precursor items would be acquired via a more “scavenger hunt” approach than the current methods.
Knowledge of these forthcoming goodies impacted the way I approached my quest for a legendary weapon. Why toss expensive exotics into the mystic forge for a rare chance at a precursor item, when they might soon introduce new and more fun ways of getting my grubby little paws all over them?
Well, that question has been answered. It seems like gambling for your precursors is going to remain the most viable method of acquiring them at least for the next several months. Colin Johanson gave scavenger hunt hopefuls a bit of bad news on the forums with this statement:
“We’re not currently actively working on building any sort of legendary precursor scavenger hunt, this is something we want to do in the future and we’re in the midst of designing how this would function, but no one is actively building this feature and you should not expect in the Jan/Feb/March releases at this point. “
He later clarified and confirmed that they are indeed working on a design to add precursor scavenger hunts, but they are not currently implementing it. In other words, it’s going to be a while.
But it’s not all doom and gloom, as Mr. Johanson confirmed that we’ll be seeing some overhauls to the reward systems as early as the January content release. Their goal is to make the open world more rewarding and adding new ways to earn precursors as rewards is part of their mission.
We should be seeing a blog post sometime this week that summarizes ArenaNet’s high level plan for the first half of 2013. We should also be getting some previews of what January’s content patch has in store for Guild Wars 2 players. In the meantime, leave us a comment to let us know how you feel about Mr. Johanson’s news about Guild Wars 2 legendary scavenger hunts and the plans to revamp the reward systems."
 
I totally thought creating my legendary would make the front page, not this after comment from the resulting discussion (thanks for splitting/promoting this post though Tristan). Here is my image of awesome:

I would have if you made a new thread with that image :)
 
Well, I'd be happy to get up early and chat about it on a podcast soon instead. Things got quite intense as I burned my entire stash to get money for the precursor!

Sure when I return we will do a podcast. Ill put up a prep for it.
 
dire what about a guide to making your legendary? the steps you took and how you aproached the gigabulous farming task
I was thinking of making twilight but just eyeing the list of mats you need it seems an overwhelming task maybe if you break it down it would be simpler? dunno just a thought
 
I'm writing such a guide right now! I'm slowly putting it together with screenshots and input from the other officers, and hopefully we'll use it to promote the community. Thanks for the ideas though - great minds think alike ;)
