The Mystic Forge is a crucial resource in Guild Wars 2, where players can upgrade equipment, increase crafting materials, and produce precursor and legendary weapons. It can be accessed from major hubs throughout Tyria and offers level 69 rewards. Precursors for legendary weapons can be obtained by combining four rare or exotic weapons of the same type. Using rares, the chances are approximately 1 in 800. The cost of 800 forges is less than buying it outright, but on average, you will only get one in the process.
Exotic weapons can also be used, but they are less likely to yield 0.5 precursors per 485 forges. Statistics can help determine the probability of getting one or how unlikely it is. After 485 forges, or 360.8 Gold with method 1 and 302.6 Gold with method 2, you have a 50 chance of getting a precursor. After 1600 gold, the chance of getting a precursor back is estimated to be 1.79.
To obtain a precursor, players need to buy it off the Trading Post, get it as a random drop, and complete the associated precursor crafting collection. Two guild members threw around 10-20 rares into the Mystic Forge and each got one precursor. Gift items and a precursor for generation 1 legendaries can be used in the Mystic Forge, but transmuting them won’t be possible due to a bug.
In summary, the Mystic Forge is a valuable resource for upgrading equipment, promoting crafting materials, and obtaining precursor and legendary weapons. However, using rare weapons and completing the associated precursor crafting collection may not be possible for Generation 2 and up.

After getting inspired by this article few months back, i started learning how to use excell and api, and after many hours of brainstorming, raging over excell coding mess and carpal tunell farming, I made an working excell sheet that automatically do the precursors and exotics calculation, counts how many tosses you can do to still make profit, and automatically highlight the most profitable precursor to gamble for. And already made 300 gold in using this system, thanks for this simple yet galaxy brain concept <3
I had 450g, and after your article i started to gambling stuffs, i thought its not that risky, aaand, i dont remember how many times i failed, the point is, i lost like 300g, i was about to delete the game and the very last try i got a Dusk… i was like what the damn hell O.O. It was worth it coz that thing, but I dont know that i will try it again anytime coz its pretty risky, it could’ve been worse without any precursor. So this is not the safest option if u want more gold, but anyway, nice vid and thanks for the tip!
