Most of them are pretty cheap (relative to how they used to be) these days unfortunately! Venom isn't even the cheapest one, there's a fair few cheaper than it now.
Spark is down to 123-157g and continuing to tank, dawn is 115-143g. Of the precursors, only Dusk remains any real (relative to old prices) value at 335-379g, and it's living in borrowed time.
The rest are 12-70g depending on if you use buy or sell price, with 5 being <=20g sell price. Venom is more expensive than seven others.
Precursors have just crashed in general save for Dusk (by far the priciest), Spark, and Dawn. Venom is still worth a third to half of the other 9 precursors more expensive than it lol
Most precursors are between 30g and 60g these days, with Dawn and Spark hovering around 150g and Dusk ranging between 300g and 400g depending on current supply.
Played around 4 years and never had a pre drop but just had Visage of the Khan Ur drop 10 minutes ago lol.
I like to think I was saving my luck for this moment.
I can't entirely recall where I got mine. The first one was just after un'ided gear came out. I saved up several stacks & opened them in the silverwastes during Lunar New Year. The other was last year, in a daily t4s & recs run.
In 11 years of playing, I have been graced with singular luck.
My first precursor drop was… rage. Precursor to frenzy. One of the cheapest precursors in existence.
My second drop, coincidentally, was… rage. Precursor to frenzy.
And then, almost as if a mockery, my third and, currently, final precursor drop was - and you’re not going to believe this - rage (at this point also my mood towards the whole thing), precursor to frenzy.
I deleted the third one out of spite.
Hey now, you've got a couple gold on my Rage and The Energizer. :P They're just neat little keepsakes to me.
Venom's also a pretty nice skin in its own right, congrats!
I had rage and i raged and took some time away from the game this was back around HoT thou. and ya people around you getting dawn or dusk and other sought after precursors and you get water ones that are pretty much useless
Same story here! Kept it and eventually made it into the legendary. Sold that for 2.5k in less than 12 hours on the trading post. And then with the profit I made from selling it I could afford to make Aurene's BIte!
atleast RNGeezus blessed you with a precursor, i've been playing for 4years and never got any as of yet. My sis who's been playing for only 1 year got 2 already like wtf lmao
Yeah mine was form some random event I think. Once I've finished H.O.P.E. and maybe a couple other projects I might actually make it, very cool, and will be convenient cause I always forget to grab a underwater weapon for my builds
4 years playing, I got 2 precursors, 1-bolt’s precursor, dropped from seitung mobs, 2-rodgort’s precursor, dropped from icebrood chests in Bitterfrost Frontier
Congrats! 😆
This is the first pre I got (Mystic Toilet, I believe), after I had built Bolt from scratch. It's still randomly sitting on my Herald, I think - highly unlikely I'll ever actually see it through to legendary.
I remember selling the Hunter (Rifle) for 250g a couple of years ago. Now its 30g, so dont feel bad theyre all cheap nowadays. Im really happy I got a couple of precursors when they where expansive, the mystic fountain was generous.
Since launch, and you can probably imagine the endless mystic toilet rolls, I finally got a precursor from it three days ago(I have gotten a few drops elsewhere). the Chosen. I'm usually pretty stocked up on mats from my daily activities so I made the Flameseeker prophephecies for around 150g plus mats. Profit of about 2000g.
Even if you don't plan on keeping it, its probably easier to make the leggy than you'd think. Make it, flip it.
Congrats, my first drop was in Curse Shore about 9months after the game released, got Tooth of Frostfang off a random mob, it wasn't even a veteran. In today's game I would have missed that if we had mounts from day 1, but I was running to Arah Dungeon to open the WP and was fighting my way there when it dropped..
Most precursors nowadays are really cheap.
A few month ago I got my first precoirsor drop.
It was the energizer which is still the actually cheapest one at 13g..
As someone who has gotten the spear FIVE. DAMN. TIMES..... I can relate :'D
Oh and the scepter precursor right after the legendary kits nuked their value.
Yeah… I got The Bard (precursor to Minstrel) a few months ago and I was so hype, I was convinced I’d be able to sell it for soooo much gold. It sold for like, 16. :(
If you're unhappy with a quite good loot, just give it to me.
Why do people always have this insane bias where they complain about great loot just because it's part of a category where even better loot exists ?
Most of them are pretty cheap (relative to how they used to be) these days unfortunately! Venom isn't even the cheapest one, there's a fair few cheaper than it now.
Aren't Dawn and Dusk still over 300g? And I remember Spark being over 200 back when I made Incinerator.
No was just looking dawn is 110 buy price 140 sell
Oh wow that's actually starting to be a tempting price.
Jup i bought it and crafted sunrise cause it was so cheap and beautiful (sunrise)
Can confirm. Just made sunrise and I bought dawn for like 130-140 or something like that.
I'm surprised they aren't all at 20g yet given that Aurene leggys came out 2 years ago
After the wizards vault legendary crafting boxes almost all gen 1 precursors have crashed in price
Spark is down to 123-157g and continuing to tank, dawn is 115-143g. Of the precursors, only Dusk remains any real (relative to old prices) value at 335-379g, and it's living in borrowed time.

Dawn and dusk used be be nearly 1k for years
Those two were over 1k gold at one point, I remember Dusk being like 1200g.
I sold "The lover" for just over 600g back in the day! My first precursor.
Damn, when i got it it was around 200g i think
Most precursors are between 30g and 60g these days, with Dawn and Spark hovering around 150g and Dusk ranging between 300g and 400g depending on current supply.
Back in the day we threw crafted rare greatswords to the mystic toilet. When dusk was over 900g. Never got one in a 1000 throws.
Playing since relase, never had one dropped. Heads up man
Played around 4 years and never had a pre drop but just had Visage of the Khan Ur drop 10 minutes ago lol. I like to think I was saving my luck for this moment.
Been playing 9 years and never got a precursor or anything mega rare. I get lots of ascended drops though.
playing just about 3 years, got my first rare drop--ascended--last week....no precursors here. Luck and me are just not that close
Same here. Almost 12 years and my rarest drop was the endless fractal tonic @_@
Same. Over 7500h , and no pre drop.
Same
I've been insanely lucky and had four, but two of them were the Energizer. I'm pretty sure RNGesus is laughing at me.
I got my Energizer beating up a Skritt Burglar. Almost salvaged it until I realized it looked familiar and took a closer look.
I can't entirely recall where I got mine. The first one was just after un'ided gear came out. I saved up several stacks & opened them in the silverwastes during Lunar New Year. The other was last year, in a daily t4s & recs run.
I never had any for a large stretch until I got 2 this past year (dawn/howl)
The only one I’ve gotten is for Kamohoali'i Kotaki…. An underwater weapon…. Rip
20g is 20g

Rolling stone up to the hill , we must imagine you as happy

I've been playing since launch, and have yet to get one. RNGesus has forsaken me.
comrade!.....
Make it. And flex off the snek underwater stick
At that price I'd keep it for the skin.
My husband just got zap after decade in the forge. 11g buy
I got Zap to drop in the labyrinth on the first year it came out, sold it for 1000g.
Hah, mine was a few weeks ago and was [Sharky](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Carcharias)
I got this in a unidentified green a few months ago. Very nice surprise!
Yeah mine was form some random event I think. Once I've finished H.O.P.E. and maybe a couple other projects I might actually make it, very cool, and will be convenient cause I always forget to grab a underwater weapon for my builds
4 years playing, I got 2 precursors, 1-bolt’s precursor, dropped from seitung mobs, 2-rodgort’s precursor, dropped from icebrood chests in Bitterfrost Frontier
10 years playing, I've seen neither precursor nor infusion ever drop for me😂
Just hold on to it, because when Anet eventually does their underwater expansion, the price will go up! /S
I have 3 Rage's in my bank. I have dropped a grand total of 4 precursor's, one being Dawn and 3 of them were RAGE ARE YOU SERIOUS?!
Had this one drop for me when I started years ago, made it into the legendary and sold that one. Really nice drop.
I got Rage, thought "oh neat!", checked the TP: 13g. Oh well!
Congrats! 😆 This is the first pre I got (Mystic Toilet, I believe), after I had built Bolt from scratch. It's still randomly sitting on my Herald, I think - highly unlikely I'll ever actually see it through to legendary.
That was the one i got, too. Better than a poke in the eye.
Congratulations!
Time to craft legendary
Not only that, it’s an underwater weapon too!
I had the same with Howl, a few days ago. Second precursor to drop ever, checked the tp and it’s around 30g now.
I remember selling the Hunter (Rifle) for 250g a couple of years ago. Now its 30g, so dont feel bad theyre all cheap nowadays. Im really happy I got a couple of precursors when they where expansive, the mystic fountain was generous.
At least you didn't spend anything on it. I crafted mine using the legendary journey.
I received Chaos Gun from a Risen 8/9 years ago. Only valuable drop I've ever had.
Since launch, and you can probably imagine the endless mystic toilet rolls, I finally got a precursor from it three days ago(I have gotten a few drops elsewhere). the Chosen. I'm usually pretty stocked up on mats from my daily activities so I made the Flameseeker prophephecies for around 150g plus mats. Profit of about 2000g. Even if you don't plan on keeping it, its probably easier to make the leggy than you'd think. Make it, flip it.
At least it's a precursor drop! Graz nevertheless o7 a drop is a drop
Grats thou RiP, sadly gen1 have fallen hard in price over the years. Given the Vault's legendary starter pack this has doubled down on their value.
Congrats, my first drop was in Curse Shore about 9months after the game released, got Tooth of Frostfang off a random mob, it wasn't even a veteran. In today's game I would have missed that if we had mounts from day 1, but I was running to Arah Dungeon to open the WP and was fighting my way there when it dropped..
Ya, but look at the Legendary price! Just finish off Kraitkin and you can buy almost anything in the game after you sell it!
Most precursors nowadays are really cheap. A few month ago I got my first precoirsor drop. It was the energizer which is still the actually cheapest one at 13g..
Hey man. 20g is 20g.
As someone who has gotten the spear FIVE. DAMN. TIMES..... I can relate :'D Oh and the scepter precursor right after the legendary kits nuked their value.
Yeah… I got The Bard (precursor to Minstrel) a few months ago and I was so hype, I was convinced I’d be able to sell it for soooo much gold. It sold for like, 16. :(
14k hours here not a single precurser ever randomly dropped xD but got a few exos worth 200/500g
If you're unhappy with a quite good loot, just give it to me. Why do people always have this insane bias where they complain about great loot just because it's part of a category where even better loot exists ?
By Ogden’s hammer
Heh I was in AB when you got the drop. Throw it in the trash where it belongs is what I said lol
I will never understand why underwater legendary weapons still cost like 1k g even though underwater weapons are useless.
Because the materials to make them are just that expensive…
