Exotic precursor weapon | Crafting Guild Wars 2 Guide

As for now, you have two methods to get a precursor: you can loot it or obtain in the Mystic Forge. In the second case you have to join four rare/exotic weapons of the same type (e.g. 4x staff if you want to get The Legend) with with required level 76-80 and have a luck. The weapon will have a suffix "of Rage". So in this case you obtain The Legend of Rage.

As if the Gift of A and Gift of B requires different materials, there is no sense in listing them here, especially when you can buy recipes at Miyani's. What is worth mentioning is a fact that all required lodestones you can get from killing high level elementals and exploring dungeons, while gifts of particular undergrounds may be bought from traders in Lion's Arch inside the Fort Marriner. They cost 500 tokens each.

Recipes for particular components may be bough at Miyani's.
