Is it worth getting a Legendary Weapon?

This is a easy choice. Definitely do not craft a Legendary Skin you don't like. If you take a moment, other than OCD, it's a waste to even think about it.

Holy crap. This would be a gamechanger for PvP if they finally would just allow infusions there.

On a separate note, I don't actually have 3000 gold.

But I've been saving for a long time, for 1 year I think (poor WvW player here).

 

I do have 8000+ spirit shards though...

Does anyone know the fastest way to convert Spirit shards to guaranteed gold?

 

Thanks!

I would say the infinite bank access contract in combination with a shared slot is the best item in the game, but that's a thousand more than you have. I like legendaries, and having all the gen 1s except Sunrise/Eternity, Quip and The Minstrel (everything but map completions for those), I'd recommend Twilight, which while ubiquitous is pretty much the best looking single legendary IMO, or Frostfang, which is highly underrated IMO.

* Fast? Use "most profitable" and be careful about the price chosen

* Reliable? Common crafting materials or fine crafting

Thanks for all the advice guys.

Unfortunately good advice usually falls on deaf ears.

Despite disliking all the skins, I end up selling all my mats and 500 laurels to squeeze out enough gold to buy the Incinerator off the TP.

 

The good thing is I now have a lovely set of Legendary equipment for my Condi Reaper to wear.

* Full set of WvW Legendary Armor (2,500 gold)

* PvP Legendary Wing (1,000 gold)

* Twilight (3,000 gold)

* Meteorlogicus (2,400 gold)

* Incinerator (2,500 gold)

 

The tragedy is after sinking all that gold, I'm certain you can tell from the pictures that my Condi Reaper is currently wearing a full set of Legendary equipment.
