Anyhoo, for those who hate pvp/wvw it's there, and you can get slooooow progression (as in 490/20k points in about two hours) just running around avoiding the yellow dots on the map, fixing walls, gathering vistas and POI's, and escorting carts across borders. 'cause it couldn't be tracked in the WvW section of the ach's in the Hero window. you open the WvW window and then one of the tabs on the side is for WvW tracking. it's repeatable for those who didn't know so you can get more than one if you want multiple legendaries or are just a glutton for punishment. I have no problem putting in the time and effort and gold to make the things, but I just don't have time to search the entire vanilla game, two expansions, 4 seasons and every single NPC and vendor to try and figure this stuff out!Įdit: Ooh I finally figured out the Gift of War ach tracking.

I finally figured out how and where to get the patterns for the weapon precursors, but I"m having a crap of a time finding the relevant in-game tracking for the parts, the locations of all the gifts and patterns, the achievements (I STILL haven't figured out how and where to track my WvW info for the Gift of War!! There is just *nothing* anywhere on how to find and track that achievement path!) etc etc. It's not just the sheer amount of work to do to get the precursors finished, it's the incredible lack of straightforward guides (both ingame and third party) to explain exactly how you make the damned things! I feel your pain with the being a new/newly returning player and feeling overwhelmed with the legendary grind. Huh, really disappointing to see the down-voting train has stopped at the GW2 station :( This community is usually better than that. I crafted shining blade as soon as it came out when I came home from work :P but that’s because I used my spreadsheet to save up materials until I had everything ready in advance Tomorrow I’ll link you spreadsheet to keep track of your materials. You’ll need 290 so making 1 or 2 a day helps.įor HoT masteries you’ll need to finish gliding, nuhoch, Itzel and exalted, hold off on ancient Magics and raids. While you’re at it make a few mystic curios everyday from all of the elder wood and mithril ore you get from salving things. Also get your legendary crafting maxed out as well.

I Don't know if anyone's worked this out before as the wiki only said their armor was "Blue and Gold" and I could find no other source for their colors.Īnd since my character had the lost parents background option (spoiler alert: They were Shining Blades), I decided to make her a Shining Blade as well, but one of slightly higher. (Pottery is a shade too dark for the pauldrons but it's really close)Ĭashmere, Camel, Tea Jeans for the Gloves.ĭijon, Camel, Tea Jeans for the leggings. We managed to get really close, and here are my results! (Ignore the Asura!) The colors are (in order that they appear on the armor): Slowly we went through some of the colors closer to the colors of what the SB were wearing. Thus began the process of looking at almost every dye in the game with the help of a guildie. The color scheme on my armor was already close to that of the Shining Blade, so I did a quick google search to see what they were and I could sadly find nothing. I just spent about an hour in game trying to figure out the color scheme of the Shining Blade's armor (specifically for women).
