    Mystic Forge: Just when you thought your coins were worthless

    Quick primer on the Mystic Forge
    The Mystic Forge does 2 things:

    • Random items when you combine 4 random items
    • Set recipes that give you the same thing each time. A lot of these are level 80 exotics weapons/armor. I'm pretty sure each recipe with a scroll gives an 80 exotic. We just have to figure out which recipes give what.

    So I bought a lot of singletons of crafting materials so I could see what recipes the Mystic Forge has. Here's what I found. Here's a list of shorthand I use (Miyani is the NPC next to the Mystic forge)

    • Wine = Elonian Wine - 25.6 silver from Miyani.
    • Scroll = Eldritch Scroll - 50 skill points from Miyani
    • Crystal - 5 for 3 skill points from Miyani
    • C. Dust - Crystalline Dust
    • Ecto - Glob of Ectoplasm - get it from salvaging level 80 rares with a master salvage kit
    • When I refer to fine crafting materials like bones, I mean the tier 6 version (e.g. Ancient Bones). Anything lower won't work, but you can transmute lower tiers up using philosopher stones.

    Common and Fine Material Promotion
    Check the wiki [1] http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge. This will tell you how to turn copper or into iron ore and large bones into ancient bones, for example.
    Lodestone:
    2 Core + 1 Crystal + 1 Wine + 1 C.Dust = Lodestone
    For example, if you use two Molten Cores you will get one Molten Lodestones. This is useful because I'm pretty sure some of the Lodestones, like Crystal Lodestone, don't even drop from enemies since there are no high-level branded enemies
    Upgrading Siege Weapons:
    5 mithril ore + 5 elder wood log + 2 siege weapons + siege masters guide = stronger siege weapon
    Mystic Weapon (level 80 exotics with particle effect):
    DON'T TRY TO CRAFT THE RIFLE, MACE, OR SHIELD, APPARENTLY THOSE 3 DON'T WORK
    1 scroll + 30 coins + 5 component A + 5 component B
    For example, to make a sword you use 5 orichalcum hilts and 5 orichalcum blades. It only accepts level 80 components (so orichalcum components)
    Some people are having trouble, so here's a more thorough explanation. Go to [2] http://www.gw2db.com/ and then go to recipes for the craft that makes the weapon you want. Then click on one of the pearl weapons of the type you want (the affix doesn't matter, so Berserker's or Carrion or any of those is fine). Now look at the ingredients of that recipe. One will be an inscription, and the other two will be the components you want.
    For example if you want a greatsword, you would look at [3] http://www.gw2db.com/recipes/8487-be...arl-broadsword and see the components are Orichalcum Greatsword Blade and Orichalcum Greatsword Hilt. So then the recipe you would use is
    1 scroll + 30 coins + 5 ori greatsword blade + 5 ori greatsword hilt
    and you would get Mystic Claymore

    Scroll + Ecto + Crystal + ?
    Scroll + Ecto + Philo Stone + ?
    Scroll + Coins + ruby orb + ?
    Bloodstone Shard + Obsidian Shard + Gift of Exploration + ?
    There are also probably recipes using the other lodestones, but I ran out of money and couldn't buy them to find out. Let's work together as a community and chart this unexplored territory! I'm pretty sure some of these recipes at least give you the exotic components for legendaries.
    If the reddit community can band together and chart new territory, then I think that would be awesome! To the best of my knowledge the results of these recipes isn't available publicly anywhere.

    Discuss mystic forge matters here.

    Edit: Coins from 50c each all the way to 20s a piece and quickly rising. Looking like I missed my shot at trying a craft tonight. >_<

    Because instead of a handful of silver to make what I was gonna try, it's up to nearly 5 gold and raising.

    What were you going to try?

    Also trying to log on the main site to check the forums.. and it's giving me an incorrect password. Looks like I may have gotten hacked, unless it's just due to the maint.

    I'll be interested to see if there's a random element to it, and if so just how random it is. I'm gonna let some people figure it out now that the prices have skyrocketed.

    So it sounds like the weapons are basically what you can get by combining 4 level 80 exotics. Neat!

    Does anyone know the exact process for converting one tier material to the next yet? And can we only jump the one tier and is it a 1:1 conversion ratio? Wish I knew how to use the Mystic Forge.

    It's not 1-1. Think you get between 20 and 50 of the next tier.

    Monthly Achievement gives 20 coins (at least that's what I got for August and September) so you can get a bunch for free that way.

    The armor minus the body is the 70-78 exotic heavy set (pit fighter's). The greatsword is berserker affix (power, precision, crit damage).

    You can also get full sets of armor, with the mystic forge, and coins. Read the wiki entry here for the basics: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_forge

    This should mean you could buy/getdrop/craft one piece of an armor set you want and go turn it into the full set, once the recipe is figured out.

    No. You do NOT get a full set of armor. You get a recipe which lets you craft the full set in one craft which takes significantly more materials. It's not worth it at all.

    The boxes of armor are PvP only? I notice one of the mats are only gained in pvp i think

    So ... i see that there is Full Armor Satchels in there too from the Mystic Forge (according to the wiki at least). Has anyone tried that yet?

    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.
