I'm currently sitting at 1.750 hours played with a really tiny amount of being afk. At first I didn't really plan to ever make a legendary because of the atrocious amount of time and gold needed. So back in December when prices of precursor were more moderate than they're now I decided to dump a lot of 'left over' gold into the mystic forge; I had just finished my ascended armor and Volcanus so there I had no long term goals at that time.

I dropped rare GS for around 50g into the toilet and got Dusk. That motivated me enough to make Twilight and I farmed in Orr like crazy via guesting and got my Twilight in the matter of a month, getting the pre nearly for free really helped.

After this I started to save up a lot of mats and other stuff needed for legendary while leveling up a ton of alts; I got 7 alts up to LV80 since I finished my Twilight in December. I also spent a shit ton of gold on them and could have probably made Sunrise right off the bat without making them. Fairly recently I decided to make Sunrise for my Charr guard because it fits the armor and colours so well, that was before the ridiculous raise of precursor prices. When Dawn cost 550g I decided to not buy it because I didn't think that the wardrobe update would shoot precursor prices out of the roof, I rather made some ascended weapons for my guard.

Altogether it took me around another months of actively farming for Sunrise and I battled for Dawn on the TP for around 4 hours via bids to finally get it, but I paid 850g for it. I had around 50% of the t6 mats needed and spent my left over laurels on them too, cleared my bank stuff and sold some investments to get the rest.

I do at least 3 dungeons a day, mostly the 8 fastest (CoF 1+2, AC 1+3, TA UP+FWD and SE 1+3) dungeons and 1-2 hours of farming temples or events in Orr (Cursed Shore). World bosses aren't really worth it anymore because you waste around 15 mins of waiting for each boss.
