GW Noob.6038 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I need to get 25 legendary insights from the Forgotten Thicket chests...I'm on the 'Sanctum of Rall' server in NA; is there a group of raiders who helps people with this kind of stuff?

Shikaru.7618 Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 You can either buy a raid carry from the raid sellers in lfg or join the raid academy discord if you want to take a stab at learning the bosses yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically 100G per boss and possibly less with discounts if you pay for the entire wing. There are apparently some groups that charge excessively more (200G+) so just avoid those groups. Also keep in mind that if going for legendary armor, you need to complete the collections for it and you will need 150 legendary insights for the full set. Edit: I looked over what had been quoted and that 100G was based off the discounted rate for a full wing clear. Expect to pay a little bit more. Back in June, I got the following rates from two guilds: Wing 1 - 400G Wing 2 - 300G Wing 3 - 400G Wing 4 - 400G Wing 5 - 600G / 600G Wing 6 - 600G / 600G Wing 7 - 2500G / 2000G The second guild lumped wings 1-4 together for 1,200G. It's been six months so expect prices to be the same and to vary from guild to guild. This just gives you an idea on what to expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm...Forbidden Thickets has 3 wings, separated into 17 areas; assuming that each area has it's own boss, that would be 1,700 per run for a total of 3,400 gold...for a single piece of armor! I hardly ever get to use the word 'preposterous', but it's appropriate in this instance...it would be utterly preposterous to pay 20,400 gold for what are, in reality, some of the ugliest armor sets in video game history!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only get 11 LI from wings 1-3 per week. It’s not going to be cheap if you go that route. You’re essentially paying for the time of up to nine other players which includes it being enough to be worth it for them to do. You can go the WvW route which will probably take you 15+ hours each week for 21 weeks or through sPvP which will require you completing the entire league reward track for three seasons plus repeating the final chest an additional 24 times.

I only want the shoulder pieces for the light Armor - they would match my 'Mind of Koda' head gear nicely. Thanks for reminding me about the WvW tracks...aside from the gift of battle, I always forget about that option for other items! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know...I'll pass that info along to anyone else who might want to get those armor pieces. As for me, I no longer want them...I found another set that look great, and were fairly easy to get.

Henry.5713 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 That sums it up quite nicely. Do not look for nine others to carry you for hours for free if all you are looking for is an armor piece you mighr replace soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. Having specific rewards locked behind specific content has been a staple in MMOs for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know someone who did just that by only spamming river every week, up to cap. Yes, it takes a _lot_ of time, but it isn't exactly hard, is it.

Its doable for sure, i mean you can also just fail enough at desmina to gather those crystals but thats not really easy either as finding a group for any pof raids can be a bit challenging for a person who has 0 LI.

sokeenoppa.5384 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Also river gives 10 gaeting crystals when you do it. Have fun finding river opener 60 times ? doable but weird and hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be the best choise. But if some1 really has money and energy to first buy a dhuum kill and then pay for river opener (which is hard to find) 60 times, sure.?

I’m not even sure if Eris makes an opener for that either (for those on NA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
