Weapons
Auric Weapons
Acquisition

• Crafting: Auric Weapons are discovery recipes for the appropriate crafting profession (400 Weaponsmith, Huntsman, and Artificer). Each recipe have 4 components: Exalted Weapon Core, Oiled Orichalcum Component 1, Oiled Orichalcum Component 2, and Orichalcum Imbued Inscription.
  • Exalted Weapon Core recipes are purchased from Exalted Mastery Vendor (Requires Exalted Acceptance) and requires 500/300/250 Aurillium for 2H/1H/OH weapons. Each weapon core requires 10 Auric Ingots or 5 Auric Ingots depending if the weapon is 2H or 1H. Each Auric Ingot requires 30 Pile of Auric Dust and 30 Auric Silver, both of which can be found in Exalted chests under Tarir after Octovine event. Auric Silver can also be found in ore nodes in Auric Basin if you have Exalted Gathering and is tradeable.
  • Each Oiled Orichalcum Components require 2-3 Orichalcum Ingot/Ancient Wood Plank and 5 Vial of Linseed Oil so you will need a total of 10 Vial of Linseed Oil per weapon. This recipe is learned automatically for 400 weaponsmith/huntsman/artificer.

• PvP Reward Track: You get a choice of an Auric weapon at end of the Auric Basin Reward track (unlocked by completing Verdant Brink track first). This track is non repeatable so you can only get one weapon via this method. However, you do get an Exalted Core recipe midway through the track as well.
• HoT story: You get a choice of three class specific weapons at end of Chapter 8 City of Hope (info taken from this reddit thread). Since it is more expensive to craft 2H > 1H > OH weapons there is an optimal choice to take for each class if you want to complete the collection cheaply (assuming you have one of each class that can do the story, otherwise pick whatever 2H option you get)
  • Elementalist: Scepter
  • Engineer: Rifle
  • Guardian: Hammer
  • Mesmer: Greatsword
  • Necro: Staff
  • Ranger: Longbow

• Vendor: You can purchase these Chak weapons from Nuhoch Mastery Vendors (requires Nuhoch Language). You need 500 Ley Line Crystals and 3 Chak Eggs for 1H weapons and 750 Ley Line Crystals and 5 Chak Eggs for 2H weapons. Chak Eggs are obtained from the chest at successful completion of King of the Jungle meta event completion in Tangled Depths or very rare drops from the Crystallized Supply Caches found throughout Tangled Depths.

• HoT Story: You get a choice of 2-3 Chak weapons from completing Chapter 8 Buried Insight. However, pretty much all the weapon choices are 1H weapons. Additionally, if you complete the Chapter 11 Roots of Terror Chak Killer – Master achievement, you will have the chance to pick any Chak weapon, which should also be a 2H weapon. Rest of the four 2H weapons and the warhorn can be only obtained via exchanging Chak eggs and Ley Line Crystals at the vendor.

Legendary Backpiece

The path to the legendary backpiece has several collections which unlocks the recipe you need to craft each step. These collections are also timegated since they require 28 Fractal Research Pages and you can only get 2 per day from the Recommended Fractal dallies.
The four steps to craft this backpiece are Finite Result –> Upper Bound –> Unbound –> Ad Infinitum. The first three steps are ascended backpieces while the last step is a legendary backpiece.
