How to start crafting Verdarach (solved)?

[GW Noob.6038]

Do you start it with the Hifthorn recipe and proceed from there? Or is there something I need to do first?

 

Edit: got it figured out, thanks!

(Note: I haven't made Verdarach specifically, but I have made many gen 2 and gen 2.5 legendaries.)

 

Yes, once you purchase the first recipe from Grandmaster Craftsman Hobbs you can craft the first tier of the precursor right away. After crafting it, you can then purchase the recipe for the second tier precursor (in this case, Lament), and after crafting Lament you can then buy the recipe for the actual ascended precursor, Call of the Void. Verdarach is one of the gen 2.5 legendaries, meaning there are no collections tied to crafting the precursor, it's all just straight crafting.

Best advice: read the wiki or other game guide site.

The Wiki only distinguishes between gen 1 and 2. Which are the gen 2.5 that don’t require collections?

All except Nevermore, Astralaria, Chuka and Champawat and Hope

This tells you that you need to craft Hifthorn and the items you require for the crafting: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Hifthorn

 

As you can see from that page, Hifthorn requires a recipe. If you click on the recipe you get to this page: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Recipe:_Hifthorn which gives you the recipe vendor and the recipe cost.
