Aurene Legendary Weapons

---

This guide will cover the entire process to create a third-generation Aurene Legendary Weapons. These Aurene-themed legendaries were added with the End of Dragons expansion and they offer unique effects on top of the other legendary characteristics.

These Aurene Legendary Weapons have the same amount of stats as ascended but here are some differences that have over Ascended:

• Unique visual and sound effects
• Legendary Armory allows one weapon to be used on all characters simultaneously
• Free stat swapping
• Sigils will not require salvaging to remove them
• Changing their wardrobe appearance costs no transmutation charges

Video Showcase:

The journey for the Aurene Legendary Weapons will require you to do End of Dragons map completion, some crafting, playing some World vs World, and different kinds of account-bound currency and materials.

These weapons (third generation) aren’t account-bound by default so you can buy or sell them in the trading post, but they will become bound once you equip them. The crafting process of the precursor is also optional.

This guide will be separated into 4 steps, one step for each major gift you will place in the Mystic Forge.

But before starting, this guide will list the account-bound requirements (those that can’t be purchased by gold) that you will eventually need so you can be prepared to optimize your journey to be as efficient as possible.

---

Account Bound Requirements

---

• Gift of Cantha (EoD Map Completion)

For the third generation, you are required to complete the four maps from End of Dragons to obtain the

Map completion is the act of visiting all points of interest, vistas, and waypoints and completing all renown hearts and hero challenges within a given zone. After a zone has been completed, a blue bonus chest will appear that the player can open and receive a reward.

In comparison with the Tyria World Completion, this is much faster as you only need to complete four maps. It is also different, because once you complete one of these maps, you can do it again with the same character by completing the Jade Lanters achievement of the specific zone. This basically allows you to repeat the map completion process with a same character and avoiding tedious tasks such as heart quests.

---

---

• Blessing of the Jade Empress

You can purchase these from Myung-Hee in Seitung Province at the Royal Court – [&BMsMAAA=]

You will need a total of 7 blessings, 2 of them to craft the precursor and 5 for the Gift of Jade Mastery. This means you require a total of 3500 to purchase them, which you can obtain from several sources but most commonly by just doing events in End on Dragons maps.

However, to access this vendor you need to complete the weekly “The Jade Vault” achievement, which basically means bringing all 4 statuettes to her. You can obtain these statuettes completing each map meta-event or simply buy them from the Trading Post:

• – Jade Empress Statuette
• – Jade Gate Statuette
• – Jade Cathedral Statuette
• – Jade Dragon Statuette

---

---

• Gift of Battle

You will need to play a considerable amount of World vs World until you complete the Gift of Battle Reward Track. The time required for this will depend on how fast you can progress the track depending your rank, team activity, etc, because the skirmish reward system (pips) will award reward track progress as well.

---

---

• Mystic Clovers

A total of 38 are needed for a Draconic Tribute. You can obtain Mystic Clovers from the following sources:

---

---

---

NOTE: The repeatable achievements from “No Quarter“ and “Jormag Rising“ will award 2 Mystic Clovers each time it is fully completed (collecting Charr Commendations), it’s another option to consider if you prefer to grind in Drizzlewood Coast.

---

• Research Notes

A total of  3000 Research Notes are needed, and these can be obtained in two ways.

The first way is using a to salvage items that were crafted and have the Research salvage type. You can buy these kits from vendors in End of Dragons maps and at Master Jewelers. It is possible to change stats on ascended armor and weapons via the Mystic Forge and then salvage them for notes as well.

The other way is to produce Research Notes directly from crafting stations without needing a kit. You will have an option to convert the outcome into Research Notes automatically. Check the videos below as an example of how you can get them:

• Other Requirements

The following will also be needed during the process, keep this in mind to avoid being stuck in one step.

• Level 500 Crafting Discipline (Depending on weapon type)
• 1 – Ball of Dark Energy
• 250 Spirit Shards
• 250 – Essence of Luck (Exotic)

---

NOTES:

• If you need assistance on how to level up your crafting disciplines I suggest this website for guides: GW2Crafts
• For the Ball of Dark Energy, you need to salvage a piece of ascended equipment using a . Trinkets have a low chance but from weapons and armor pieces the output is guaranteed.
• The Spirit Shards can be obtained through normal experience by completing a level once you hit the max level 80 and other sources.
• You can obtain from salvaging and many other sources. You can also upgrade lower tiers of luck with Artificer crafting discipline, but ultimately if you need a fast source to get more, buy and salvage Globs of Ectoplasm.

---

Step 1: Precursor

---

Crafting the precursor weapon requires level 500 of the crafting discipline related to your chosen weapon type. Get the recipes from Leivas in Arborstone for 35000 and 10
