This is not another thread begging to make them unbound. I would just like to maybe get some clarification there aren’t plans to unbind them. I just have way too many ascended mats and I’m tired of them wasting my space. Ascended crafting/items simply aren’t for me. The only problem I have that is keeping me from destroying right now is if they eventually become unbound and sell-able that sets up a huge potential loss. So, any plans at all for the future of ascended mats and making them unbound?
Promise ascended mats won't be unbound?
Sorry to say, but I don’t think they’ll ever become unbound in the future.
From what I’ve seen, Anet wants ascended items to have at least some grind factor/timegate so they aren’t just instabought like exotics.
I promise.

The only one I see being worth holding on to is dragonite ore and maybe the emprylreal fragments but ditch the bloodstone dust if you aren’t planning on crafting ascended items. Bloodstone dust is too easy to obtain to worry about saving.

For Dragonite/Bloodstone/Empyreal, those will never be un-soulbound. They’re used to get you to participate in different types of content. In the future however, I expect them to all be tradable in a crafted format, such as the toxic recipes using bloodstone dust. A dev did state that there was to be more uses for them soon.
Keep them. I can imagine future legendaries need truckloads of them.

There’s a reason why you can expand the collectibles tab to stacks of 1000…
I horded 100+ dragonite bars, 100+ empyreal stars and 300+ bloodstone bricks so far.

They can be instabought though, you just buy the raw materials and craft it yourself. Obviously, there’s privelege cost from buying other players “time” much like transmutes were in Warcraft.

You can’t buy vision crystals so you will still need to get the empyreals, dragonite and bloodstone by yourself.

You guys are right about the dust. If I have almost 10 stacks of 250, so does everyone else not interested in crafting ascended who hasn’t deleted them yet. If they did become unbound the market would be stupidly overflowed with dust and they’d be worthless. Guess I’ll hang onto the ore and emps just in case. Only have 1 stack of 250 each. Not taking up too much room.

I also suspect we’ll need at least 250 of these refined ascended materials (maybe not as much dragonite) to craft a precursor.
