    The legendary recipes changed from beta to release.

    I saw a video of the two greatsword legendaries from beta, does anyone know the recipes for the exotic weapon base for them yet? Looked around the internet and haven't seen anything.
    Pretty sure it's just throwing in 4 level 80(ish?) rare/exotic greatswords in the mystic forge and praying. When that 21 karma bug was in people on /vg/ were doing that and got some.

    Is there a reason they're plummeting in value? Yesterday they were hovering around 3-4 silver, now they're about 1 silver with far more availability.

    Exotics? I'd assume people buying them to salvage with cash shop kits for ectoplasm with maybe a dash of enchantments. Knowledge getting out correlates to a rush and I'd say endgame isn't too populated yet, so early adopters were basically paying their "gotta have it now" tax.

    Otherwise, I'm not seeing the benefit in tiering up craft mats right now. For the 250 whatever that's seemingly needed, you could just AH them and probably buy what you wanted with change to spare. I'm honestly a bit flustered with cash generation in this game, especially seeing things for 5g+ where getting 1g PvE style can take a while. I know someone mentioned WvW was good for cash somewhere, but unless you're in a good group/guild, that's more like a money sink with repair costs.

    I spent over 1 G in upgrades in WvW yesterday, a ton on repairs and still came out a little bit of cash up. I can't ever see it being a money sink unless you're buying tons of siege stuff with cash.

    Well, I'm basing this pretty much on my shitty experience working on my monthly on a server that's apparently quite ass. I've never been much of a PvP person, but it didn't take long to find out running around solo would probably get you killed a lot.

    The Black Lion Salvage kits? Those are only 10% to produce rares, while the Master's are 25%.. so you're better off using a Master's Salvage kit.

    Was talking about the orange ones you get for some zone clears or whatever. Have like 3 25 stacks that I just started using on exotics for my own 'plasms.

    Yes.. those are a 10% chance to recover rares in comparison to the 'Rare" colored store bought ones which are 25% lol

    although the store ones do allow you to get back upgrades 100%

    Huh? Aren't the orange black lion ones 100% chance to recover the upgrade(relic/sigil) and a high chance to recover ecto's? The yellow store bought ones are higher chance of getting ecto's but only 80% of getting the sigil/rune?

    Right. Black Lions are 100%/10%, Yellows are 80%/25%, so it depends on if you're after the ectos or the sigils.

    One each of yellow, green, and blue salvage kits + 3 mystic forge stones = 250 use Yellow Quality Salvage kit.

    The beauty of those is that if you do not value kharma you can buy those kits with about 2200 kharma in LA and make those kits for next to no actual gold.

    I've got a whole 1 so far, they're cheap as hell on the gem store though so whatever.

    There's a pretty large thread going on over at guru on crafting twilight but some of this this information pretty much applies across the board for legendary weapons.

    #1 Dusk of Rage
    #2 Mystic Recipe (this is up in the air... thinking clover + ectoplasm + x + x)
    #3 Gift Recipe (darkness + metal + icy runestone + x)
    #4 Bloodstone Recipe (bloostone shard + obsidian shards + gift of exploration + gift of battle)

    I really hope this info gets nailed down soon so I know if I should start crying now or later.
