@necropola I think the guides are for making the lures or motivations or whatever they’re called. If you already have a ton of research notes, and don’t want the OW legendary armor, you can turn those essences into a goo damount of gold crafting the T1-T3 motivations for others.
@necropola I don’t like doing them at all personally. They’re super boring to me. Unless they come up with something in the next release/maps that increases the drops of those essences or give other ways of getting them, I think my excitement for the OW legendary armor has completely evaporated and I’m going to have to slog through WvW if I want that.
But also, with the introduction of the stat-selectable exotic vendor, I wonder if the whole legendary armor thing is a huge waste of time.
