Dialogue[edit]
- Without any ranks in Legendary Precursor Crafting Mastery
- You think you can craft a legendary precursor weapon? Come back to me once you have trained the first Mastery ability in the Legendary Crafting Mastery Track.
I'll get right on that!
- With one or more rank
- You are well on your way to crafting a Legendary. Keep at it, my friend!
Show me your wares.
I have misplaced a vital component for crafting my Legendary.
I got your letter about new legendary equipment.
- Good. The master crafters are researching a new form of legendary crafting that requires salvage material from runes and sigils.
Thanks for the information.
Thank you for all your help.
