With the recent announcement of the upcoming Legendary Armory (date unannounced) Legendaries are even better. When the armory hits your legendaries will be applied to your entire account. That means if you get a legendary staff, every character you have or will ever make after that point will have a legendary staff available for use in their equipment menu. No more swapping gear between your toons!
thats awesome. Will this be so for already unlocked legendaries as well?
@@Adama.1 Should be yes (I think there would be a riot if it wasn't lol)
So that means i will only have to make one sword for my 800 toons that use swords
That's something they should have added a long time ago imo.
that there was the answer to the question i was trying to find i wonted to make a few on diffrent toons but if my othere toons couldnt use them then i would have to pick a main to get them on and my otheres would have to go with out
I'm clicking thru UA-cam ať 2 am And here i am, this game looks cool
It is. Community is also great. Try it.
It IS cool. I truly enjoy its approach compared to some other games
It is cool
Try it, it's free so nothing to worry about :)
BTW no Pay to win :)
It is free, there are expansions if u wish to buy them.. tbh they are worth it, i will buy expansions when i reach level 80..
okay I may be browsing UA-cam at 3am but you didn’t have to call me out for it
I haven't played the game in 4 or 5 years... But I can do this. I can do this...

Lmao

@@mio7452 You can get gems by farming gold and there are ways to farm thousands of gold in no time so if you pay to get gems you're just giving donations to Anet. People in my guild make thousands of gems every month with little to no effort
Feddb hey man, can you give me a little tips and trick how to get gold?
Why you want a legendary weapon:
-Great stats
-modifiers can be changed at any time
Why I want a Legendary Weapon:
-It looks cool

In gw2 that is the only reason.
As a player returning from initial release around 2013, this guide is epic. Really have a clear understanding of what is required for a legendary, thanks! So much to do in GW2 it's insane.
It really is a good guide. Its just an insane daunting task especially if you dont inject money or have connections in the game. If you play with a full group of friends itll be alot easier going.
Yeah, there really is A TON to do. The best part is that you can easily set your own goals, usually guided by achievements and/or crafting requirements - but there is no "must".
I've been playing since beta, but I only started working on a legendary recently. I never intended to make a legendary, but then I saw Nevermore.
IT MUST BE MINE!
So now I'm chopping down trees in every level 80 zone, because apparently natured-themed legendaries require massive deforestation...
"Massive Deforestation" Lol. That's not even CLOSE to how much wood you (and I as well, by the by) need for this staff. It really is an ungodly amount.
So did you get it?
That might explain why i always see a bunch of people cutting trees in the same place at Malchor's Leap every day
Exordium requires 24000 logs and 23000 ore
@@gustavoschiller6852 Elder tree planks are good money to.
I really appreciate the "you don't have to be good at wvw" thing because that is the part that tends to scare me off the most :b
........................ now I just gotta get over the "no patience for farming" and "constantly becoming poor from the gemstore" parts~
WvW is actually really fun. After you die 100th times. You start to either not giving a shit or play thief ( so no one can see you )and it becomes fun.
Damn, 2020 is an amazing year to get back to GW2.
first with covid and now all the rioting outside, videogames became our only solice
evan as a person who uses English as a second language I find that these guides here on this channel are one of the best guides for GW2

@@taaarijkful thx a lot, Tharik ... nice weekend !!
I told my wife that I was going to make the Dreamer shortbow (because I like shortbow ranger). She then mentioned that it was the most annoying sound ever and I was sold. Definitely creating it now, she knew exactly what to say.
I just realized I'll never be more than a filthy casual.
I just realized I am never going back to that game no matter how much I love the Charr
Saito Hiraga I can agree, but then again I bitch about running out of stuff to do, and mam is it a great feeling of accomplishment when you do it. It’s worth it for the visuals alone for me. If it was just stats or visuals I wouldn’t care. But it’s both and more!
Saito Hiraga not sure bout ascended, got my full asc set in 2 weeks (armor weapons trinkets) just craft everyday, and if you have a friend to craft it for you it also helps alot. Play lots of fractals to get equipment chests and legies should take ages, they are luxuries and if you want them you need to work for it. I got mine and felt really accomplished. Legendaries are hard work but the satisfaction is worth it
As a filthy casual I now have 21 legendaries. I learned the secrets of the TP... Plus 3 accounts I sign into for the daily rewards.
I started nevermore at HoT release. Yep still working on it. I'm a filthy casual.
I made the twilight many years ago, I was just playing the game and having fun and one day I realized I had most of the ingredients to craft it, only had to buy the prec.. great times
Crafting Exordium had me in tears: First from frustration, then from joy
I just went ahead and bought the starting recipes for all the legendaries. The result was a lot of progress with just my normal casual play. It's actually kinda fun having random pings pop up about completing another step towards a legendary. However, now that I'm getting close to completing step 1 for a few of them, I want to actually spend some time getting those last few items to progress to round 2. As such, it becomes a fun quest that I have waiting for me when I tire of killing world bosses and grinding dailies.
My first, Twilight, took me six month, was a real pain: "will be my last"
My second, Astralaria, took me one month, was a real pain (and pleasure): "will be my last"
And now I'm working on Pharus, a real pain too, I swear, it will be my last !
Was Pharus your last one?
dont leave us hanging like this, was it your last?
@@asatsuki9250 my last was Kamohoali’i Kotaki 😆
@@LordMarchenoir sure it is, just update us in 4 months ;D
@@asatsuki9250 xD I will !
First time i see this sort of guide, really nice. Also make sure to always pick the legendary chest at the end of the month and your daily log in. Even if you are not gonna do a legendary now but later you will be super happy that you did this and dont have to farm for it or gamble in the mystic forge.
9:39 that sigh right there had me laughing, every step you complete just leads to more stuff you need to do and many of the gifts are rabbit holes themselves with all the crafting smaller stuff into bigger stuff 😂I have had a lot of fun with the collections I have done, Twilight (finished) and Nevermore (only have the expensive parts of the gifts left..) and for me, seeing them as large side projects that I slowly works towards while doing things I like is largely what helps me going. I've had guild mates in the past that hardcore grinded for a legendary and lost interest in the game while doing so.
I have nevermore and quip done and almost done with hope. Just need the coins and done.
Regarding the gift of battle, I would like to mention that you can also do WvW dailies to get reward potions that helps building it faster (80 potions needed to complete a full reward track). As a bonus you also get the daily completionist which gives spirit shards needed for the bloodstone shard.
"maybe you're just clicking through youtube at 3 am"

Very nice direct and concise guide. One thing that I can add is powercrafting. Made a total of 6 legendaries ( 4 gen1 + 2 gen2) and recently sold 3 twilights in 2 months. The trick is finding a niche market to sell stuff. For example, I used to sell rare (krait prefix) greatswords for mystic toilet gambling and it allowed me to make gold while doing what i want (no mindless grinding required). Place your orders for mithril ores, elderwood logs and t5 mats before you sleep then craft the next day. Bulk crafting takes about 20-30 mins then sell to tradepost by "slightly undercutting" other players. With 2 accounts (thanks old friend!) I started both with 200g and crafted twice a day. For 1 hour of daily crafting nets me 50g to 70g after sales and even more during weekends. Rinse and repeat.
Powercrafting greatswords may not be as lucrative as before so it is up to you to find that niche market and get that shiny!
Make one video about most trivial but less discussed topic, how to make the most out of your inventory bag space, bank space and mats space.
noted!
was watching this as a new player, and got to the 'shard of the calling void'
I got excited
I have been watching your channel for about 3 years now. That very slow introduction completely took me by surprise!
Please, please, please keep making videos like this! I've been playing this game for years, have tons of saved gold and resources, but never understood crafting in this game at all. I love easy to understand videos like this!
I’ve only just started playing GW2, but this already interests me. I’m looking forward to making stuff like this!
8 Level 80s.
Full exotics.
Almost fully Ascended accessories.
Legendarys were never a goal because I felt they all looked booky.
But after becoming well acquainted with many different play styles - interchangeable stats would be massively appreciated.
Definitely be an upcoming goal after seeing such a well put together video running it down. Thanks.
This guide is so nice, I barely finished crafting HOPE this week but I'm now itching to make another legendary.
Thank you very much, the wiki helps alot as a returning player but having someone like you answering the quirk litlte inside questions is great.
so far I've crafted Exordium (my first legendary) and Meteorlogicus. After I finished Exordium I make it a point when asked about legendaries to let people know that if they're wanting a Gen2, prepare for pain. You better love it in every way, shape, and form... cause legendary shards and the materials for them will put you on the brink of insanity. After crafting a Gen2, doing a Gen1 was child's play easy. I'm glad to hear the Gen3's will be more like crafting a Gen1.
I have been playing this game for years and I am still learning I bought Heart of Thorns and Path of Fire when I ran out of places to go to on the main map so I really get surprised when I look at these videos and learn about the mystic forge and all the thing that I make I have four toon character all Level 80 will be making more in the future. really love this game for its architecture in comparison to other games.
Good introduction to legendary weapons! Just recently finished The Shining Blade and Pharus just before it. My 2 cents, gen 1 weapons are easier, if you're new to legendaries. My personal opinion 🤷♀️
pro tip. Before comiting to precursor collection of gen1 try to look up in gw2efficency what's its price in TP. For example water precursor, lets say "rage" worth something like 30 g in TP, but about 300 plus shitload of time in collections and crafting.
Just a note, unless you are saving laurels for something else, you can use them to purchase heavy crafting bags to help you get all your T6 mats.
I took a rest for about a year
Ur videos helped me to get back! Thanks alot man keep up the good work
Great guide!! Wish it were around last year when I was figuring out Frostfang, my first leggy :D Was pleased to see it featured in your video at least.
Great guide with good humour, tone and information!
I gotta admit I laughed out loud at 7:14 because of how relatable it was. Biggest dilemma ever!
The music, voice and the timing of sound effect were perfect. Haha!
guys listen , trust me on this
once you start crafting legendary , YOU NEVER GONNA STOP
Ive just gotten into the game and its so overwhelming sometimes 💀 I'm still lost and will probably have to rewatch this a few times for it to click but thank you a BUNCH for taking the time to explain what/how/when/why etc... crafting works bc it can be a lot 😂
Amazing newbie content you make. Ive been playing for like 2 weeks and this game js so deep that i makes my head bleed.
Your videos help a ton, great structure and better advises
Rour videos are just amazing. The level of detail is exactly what new guys need. Thank you very much. I am playing by myself and hate to play online games alone hahaha.
I was literally clicking through youtube at 3am. 3:28 AM to be exact. You must have some otherworldly psychic powers to know I'm up at such an ungodly hour.
Started playing this game off and on at launch. Currently have 2 level 80s and one of them has ascended armor. Never knew how to make legendary weapons or really even messed with crafting or wvw so I guess I'm coming back
Thanks for the guide, I'm new to GW2 and this is something to look forward to.
I am about a few months away from my Kudzu, just need the remaining clovers to complete. I actually received the leaf of Kudzu in a drop about a year ago and almost sold it on TP. I hesitated on seeing what is was worth. I am being patient knowing I can at least get seven clovers every thirty days.
Mystic forge for them if you have mystic coins or gold to buy them. Or you can do pvp/wvw for 2 clovers on track completion.
You can get 2 clovers per day from the merchant in the fractal room also.
I dont know WHY I'm watching this, exactly, as I've already made a couple legendaries, but it's somehow validating to listen to you sigh in suffering going through the massive lists, laughs. I like always having one in the midst of crafting too. (I've made frostfang twice - once to keep, once to sell, kudzu, juggernaut, sharur, and I'm about 300 gold away from finishing nevermore. Oh, and all three underwater legendaries but do they REALLY count?)
Superb video. Well Organized and thorough! Thanks for taking the time to make this!
3 AM? Who would watch videos like this at 3 AM?
4... its 4 AM right now ~.~
Patrick: Oh boy, 3 AM!
I decided to go with Binding of Ipos for my first legendary and decided to go with desert mastery. Never before have I regretted a gaming decision more than this one because after 2 years of playing on and off I'm still collecting funerary essences.
Nevermore was my first legendary and boy was that a journey, but I quite enjoyed the collection for it's quest-y feeling when you bring your raven around Tyria in various stages :D I'm currently working on Coalesence, but my next weapon I think is gonna be Astralaria, it's simply gorgeous!
Great guides, fantastic content, very informative and straight to the point....with a dash of humor. Love your channel. Subbed!
I finished my first legendary on 20th of march. it took 2 months to make. currently working on my first gen 2 legy.
im in love with HMS DIVINITY and SHOOSHADOO.. so much Details ❤️😍
Dayum, extremely helpful since i didnt know anything previously but damn.. sounds like it will take a year..
0:15 dayum that was spot on
Got my sunrise a year ago, and now in my way to my Ad Infinitum. I'm a casual player. If I can do it you can too.
Wow me too. Same same
its been many years , its finally time to do this
I just started (or actually restarted) on making a Legendary. I bought Rodgort, now I want Xiuquatl.
Part 3. Scrolling through UA-cam at 3. AM. time for Muk’s videos.
I like guides/content about gw2 aka the best mmo in the world lol keep it up
Fun story:
I found the pre-curser to FrostFang while doing the Jormag meta event a while ago and didn't know it was the pre-curser and thought it looked weirdddd but still saved it to my account because I wanted every weapon skin in the game. But then you know, later found out that it in fact WAS a pre-curser and could be sold for 200+ gold. So. Um. Me and my friend had a nice pity moment🙂
Why was it 3am when I watched this and you literally said exactly what I was doing hahah.
bless u. Literally what I've been looking for
I started making The Predator solely to get the Perfected Rifle. Because it's the rifle Tybalt used. It was for my deadeye and I wasn't thinking about going the whole way to the predator, but then I thought that it might compliment the deadeyes ability colors. I have about 40% of the required materials for the final step and I've been stuck in the limbo of just not wanting to do it for a year or two.
Well done you global Icon and brand Ambassador :) looks like this video went really well for you..... nice always glad to see hard work and intelligent content get rewarded :) as you tube makes it far too easy for good content to get lost among a sea of meh...
Ah, so that's all you need to do........time to quite my job and get cracking then :P.
Thanks for this Muk, its a really good guide, clear and concise and straight to the point. I will be using it a lot when i come to start my legendary journey.
"maybe you're clicking through youtube at 3am" as i'm watching this video it's 3:39 am and i am SHOOK
Wait so to get Legendary weapons, you have to forge them? That's so badass. I'm still a novice to this game and level 45. That just makes me appreciate this game more. I love crafting stuff like this in similar games like Albion and ESO.
I just want to say thank you for uploading this video. I made my first leggie using this guide. Now a proud owner of Kuduz. Now I’m working on my third lol xD. Twilight baby!
New to GW2 endgame and this was super helpful, thank you 🙏
Thanks. You give me hope that I might make a legendary someday.
Haha "a few thousand elder wood and mithril." How I wish that statement was true. I think the totals are around 24,000 of each before refinement. Pharus will be worth the tears though 😂
Great guide for all different experienced players
0:14 You caught me, it's 3am and I need something to focus on since no one's running any metas.
It’s 4:30 AM, egg on your face.
Hey wassup I’m just browsing yours and other gw2 vids cuz I got an itch for this game that I miss
When he said radomly clicking on this video at 3 a.m. I chuckled, but in my mind I started crying.
I like to call Chuka & Champawat "chunky & grumpywart". It took me agggessssss to make my first legendary because I exclusively play WvW but eventually I got them done (only 1st gen for now (predator/incinerator/frostfang/sunrise/warbringer and medium armor). I still have not completed my eureka since it launched lol, but maybe now is the time, it's mostly done except for the gift of maguume/desert mastery, which I'm not sure which one to do since i've only done both halfway. I feel that 1st gen is more or less doable for me, just needs time, but I need to break into my first 2nd gen so I can get comfortable with the process and then it should be no problem. When I was lazy with gift of fortune, I would use pact supply map material, laurel, mystic packets, stuff like that.
im just gonna say that the part that he said "you're clicking at 3am" just couldnt be more on point, just that its 2am rn for me D:
Still not sure which Legendary I should try to get first... I need/want 4. I know that's a lot of work but I really want those 4 for my ranger. (Both Axe Legendaries, Gen1 Sword and Gen1 Warhorn)
It was fun crafting Incinerator, Rodgort, and Twilight. Sold them after crafting because I wanted to make a profit but I regret selling Incinerator. Currently I only have Eternity because I saved up enough gold to buy it and it was cheaper to buy than to craft at the time.
3:01 on the clock, you mad wizard 😂 Love the content
Thank you ser ! its big help for f2p like me who cant afford to buy full !
good job ☺ ☺ ☺
I Hove up for legendary weapon, have only played for 60-70 days I may think about it when I have played one year. I get 2-10 gold every day and play 1-5 hours but I have to get my acsended weapon staff/sword/focus.
I just finished xiuquatl s2 scepter it was rly fun to do now im after exordium i love crafting legendaries
As someone who crafted 7?8?9? legendaries, aswell as two legendary armorsets and a legendary backpiece - Just get started. Make a list of what you need and slowly build it. Raids are a solid amount of money (about 40-50g per week minus food), pvp is basically 2g per match thanks to dailies so another 14g per week. If legendaries are still sitting on about 2k gold youll be done in about half a year. And that is "log in on monday, raid, do one or two matches of pvp, log out". Its way easier than it looks really
Nice guide! Thanks for the info that the wiki has a list annndddd now i need to make The Bifrost so i can be a rainbow sparkle necro XD
you got me. clicking your vid at 3:41am
I’ve been sitting on my dusk for about 3 years xD
Yup, it is 3:50 am my time and watching videos because I took a nap before I went to bed.
I actually managed to get the tooth of frostfang from mystic forge and it's sitting in my bag since ^w^
Awesome video, extremely helpful and I love the humor!
Is there a difference between gen1 and gen2 weapons? Also do you have any advice for a returning Heart of Thorns player? I remember years ago making a Sunrise and I'd love to go back to it but I fear that I'm gonna be lost. How is the PvE content in the game ATM?
1) difference is cosmetic, stats are the same
2) Any advice? ask questions, the world is huge, lots to do. Don't be afraid to ask for help on all the new content if you don't understand whats happening.
3) PvE content is going great, new zones, new strike missions, and they announced a new fractal coming out in the future
*grandpa voice* Back in my day you had to also map complete WvW and EB maps to get your gift of exploration for gen 1 weapons.
Jokes aside, great guide. Wish this was made 5 years ago. I was so lost when making my first, it seemed like a never ending process lol
For real... you also need to guest to other world and hope temple of balthazar is open in that server. Fun times 🤣😂
It's only 1am, but you were close. :)
@MuklukUA-cam just curious, is there a system in GW2 that allows you to have a custom look for your character? Like the transmog system in other mmo's such as WoW, Age of Conan, ESO, & FF?
Also are Druids any good in PvP, particularly WvW? Starting GW2 tonight actually.
Yep! They call it "transmuting" in gw2. You periodically get transmutation shards from various activities, and each one is basically a free "transmog". There is no gold cost in game, just uses a shard. Any time you aquire an item you've never had before and account bind it (so you cant trade it to another player) the graphic is unlocked for your whole account.
Druids can be a lot of fun in WvW, you can play a offensive one with lots of stealths/immobilizes to root enemies and bleed them down, or a supportive one that sacrifices damage for toughness and be a brick wall healer for your squad, while still rooting foes to make them easy to catch.
I wish I could post screenshots here. It’s 3.38 in the morning, this video gets recommended and literally the first line he says is my situation.......
Great guide I've had the game since launch and have no legendary lmao maybe I'll give it a go precursors cheap atm
it might just be that I've played other MMOs with insane material trees, but legendaries at least seem managable, albeit time consuming. Some of the shit I've seen in other MMOs for end game gear is absurd. (Looking at you VHL)
Well, made 15 Legies... Never bought one, never sold one, never sold Precursor...
Making two simultaneously, Nevermore and Aurora, but Aurora is somehow anoying and hard especially completing Living Stories and when doing two Legies, and materials are limited...
For the map completion items, do you start a new toon and complete? Just curious..
@@sergiol.aponte13 Well, we have 3 choices, so to speak for making Legies, 1gen requiers core maps completion for which you'll get 2 map completion per character and today is much much easier with mounts. And the other methods are HoT and PoF completion for gen2 Legies which are also easier with mounts.
For me, personaly, the most hard part is ofc mystic coins and mystic clovers, T6 you can get today much easier than before but the task of collecting them is also tedious and takes time, and gift of Battle you can get in a several days max in wvw...
@@drfreeman1721 Takes me two days to get Gift of Battle. One day if I don't sleep most of the day...
For gen1, each toon that completes that vanilla world map gets 2 gifts of exploration. For gen2 completing the map exploration of heart of thorns gives one gift per character.
