Guild Wars 2 gives a first look at the new legendary weapons that will find their way into the game with Heart of Thorns.
Initially only 3 weapons, regularly new ones
Anyone in Guild Wars 2 who takes their character seriously will sooner or later equip their avatar with a legendary weapon. With the upcoming expansion Heart of Thorns, there will be some new weapons that developer Linsey Murdock discusses in her latest blog post.
At the launch of the expansion, there will only be three new weapons available at the same time as the first raid. However, the developers plan to implement further sets regularly until ultimately 16 new weapons will be available – the other 13 simply aren’t finished yet.
If someone falls for the illusion that legendary weapons can be farmed quickly, they will likely soon experience a rude awakening. The requirements for the three new weapons are tough and will probably keep many occupied for weeks: First, all new areas must be fully completed and all masteries mastered.
In addition, materials must be farmed both in the jungle of Maguuma and in the “old” Tyria, and ultimately players even have to engage in PvP to earn the “Favor of the Mists”. A detailed list of all required steps can be found in the blog post in our sources.
