GW2. A complete guide on how to get your Legendary Ring Coalescence from Raids. PvE 2022.

---

---

Getting Started

---

To make Coalescence you need two main things: Raid boss kills, and Gold. Like any other legendary item you will need several materials that you could already have or will need to buy from the trading post to craft, but this specific ring will also need currency and items that you can only obtain through Raids.

Three achievement collections are necessary for the process. You will automatically unlock the first collection once you complete a Raid encounter for the first time.

Be aware that due to time-gated limitations, this process can take a minimum of 6 weeks. This is because you need a total of 150 Legendary Divinations and you can earn only a maximum of 25 per week (including Legendary Insights). Maximizing your progress each week means completing every raid encounter each week which might not be feasible for someone new to raids.

---

If you aren’t already experienced with Raids, I suggest you start reading the following guide which aims to prepare new players to raids. Then navigate to each specific Wing guide to understand the mechanics of every encounter.

New to Raids: Beginner’s Guide to Guild Wars 2 Raids

Raids are not hard to get into compared to other MMOs. With no gear grind, all you need is to know the mechanics and have a good idea of your role in the composition. so please read the raid guides if attempting to join a group.

---

At first I will detail all the account bound or time-gated requirements that you will eventually need so you can be prepared to optimize your journey as efficiently as possible.

Then I will separate the process into 5 steps, the first three will show the achievement collections and the rest are for each gift that you will need to place in the Mystic Forge.

---

Account Bound Requirements

---

Before starting the process to make your legendary ring, you need to know which things you can’t buy with gold so you can decide how you want to pace it.

---

These divinations are the main time-gated component for the legendary ring. You earn these by completing Raid encounters every week. A total of 150 divinations are needed and with the weekly cap of 25 it will take 6 weeks.

In reality you can get only 10 Legendary Divinations per week from Wing 5 to 7 encounters and 15 Legendary Insights from Wing 1 to 4 encounters, but you can exchange Insights for Divinations in the “Basic Magnetite Exchange Operative” NPC in Lion’s Arch Aerodrome.

(The exchange from Insight to Divination has a maximum of 168 per account)

---

---

Because the Legendary Divinations will take the majority of the time required for getting the legendary ring from Raids, it’s best that you get settled in and understand the game mode to enjoy it. You don’t need to aim to get the maximum of 25 weekly if you are just starting, absorb all the knowledge that you can about all the encounters to have a better time and improve your experience.

---
