Precursor Collections
Precursor collections were an addition that came to Guild Wars 2 with the Heart of Thorns add-on. Mastering legendary crafting allows you to start off collections that after finishing all tiers allow you to craft a precursor. In case you don't know what this is, a precursor is one of the items that is used to craft legendary weapons. As the name already tells it's the base weapon or the preceding weapon that is required and my god the open-world drop chance is extremely low on these. Is it comparable with Diablo III's primal ancients? No, it's even rarer than that.
Anyways there's an accumulation of 34 legendary weapons in Guild Wars 2 currently. 25 of these have a legendary collection. What we're going to do is check what we have to do for each tier of each legendary and then sum it all up to know our goal. Again we're not planning on building the legendaries themselves yet. We're only focusing on the precursor collections. Believe me, that's gonna be enough for a lifetime most likely.
