To fully gear a character with ascended gear under optimal circumstances (with crafting 500 unlocked), it will cost around 250-300 gold. This is a lot if you consider that the stat increase isn't marginally higher relative to the price difference. Then, why do players craft ascended gear? This ultimately comes down to a few reasons mainly.
12 votes, 33 comments. true. I was looking for this comment- if you have full WvW infusions and an ascended breather, the value of that breather is that you can pop in a swim speed infusion and troll the shit out of people by kiting them hard underwater at bay or around South Island lake area by being so much faster.
The maximum number of units you can buy or sell in a single transaction is 250, i.e. a single stack. The "items I am selling" view lists only the first 25,000 units you are selling for a single item. Entering "I am Evon Gnashblade" into the search box shrinks icons, offering a more compact view that can display over 30 items at once.
Honestly I'd rather just convert the cheapest ascended option. Trying to gear out my CPS Warrior, need 4 more armor pieces, and I'm tired of running winterberries for obby shards. Rather just put up some buy orders, do my daily crafts, and work towards my "free" ascended specialization weapons.
Posted April 6, 2018. @Sarpan.9074 said:I think I know the answer to this but want to be sure I'm understanding correctly what I've read. All I've seen says you have to use Exotic inscriptions and insignia to change the states on Ascended gear. That means that you can not use Ascended inscriptions and insignia to change the stats on Ascended gear.
. Ascended insignias and inscriptions are mostly tradable and Zojja's definitely is. Costs about 30g (buy order) or 40g (sell order). It's crafted out of some soulbound materials as well as timegated ones so it's obviously more expensive than base material value. Item pieces like panels and paddings are also tradable.
Raid drops: The final chest at the end of Raid encounters will often give Ascended gear. Merchants: Laurels: Can buy Ascended rings, earrings necklaces and even infusions from Laurel vendors. Fractals, PvP and WvW vendors: You can buy all types of gear in these vendors, but for weapon and Armor you'll require GrandMaster Marks.
Infuse these with Agony Resistance and run fractals. You may even get more ascended gear. You can get ascended gear (weapons and armor) doing Strike Missions or completing the elite specialization weapon quests (for select weapons). This is honestly probably the easiest if you really want that +10% boost in stats for everything.
You can slot runes and infusions on ascended. You are 100% correct. I just looked at one of my older character from a few years ago, he has ascended gear with runes stupid me. Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) +Stat agony infusions tend to be extremely overpriced and not worth it when gearing up.
If you spent 1% of the time it takes to get full ascended gear on the training golem and on some out of game guides (say around 1-2 hours tops), you will outperform everybody else in full ascended with your full exotic gear. If you want to run in blind with 0 clue of your class, build, boss mechanics, etc. full ascended will be less important
gw2 can you buy ascended gear
