Guild Wars 2

There are ascended rings and back items. I think back items aren’t craftable in general which is odd by the way but that is not the point.

Rings are crafted by Jewelers and until the ascended equipment they where able to craft the highest quality gear in the game. Since Ascended gear is better Exotic gear, there should be recipes for ascended rings. I mean I can craft Legendaries so it should be easy to craft ascended gear.

Are they planned for future release? Are they already implemented?

Well yes.

There is bag mystic forge recipe. Its 250x T6 material, 50x ectoplasm, 1x the ascended trophy (from FoTM) and 40x crystal. Just google it, its everywhere. 1 vial of condensed mist essence
50 ectoes
40 crystals
250 t6 fine crafting materials

For the rings, they drop only as bonus reward from FoTM at 10+ difficulty (with random stats) and you need them only for infusion slot so you can continue further in dungeon.

So I would not care about a ring if untill you want to progress the FoTM and just craft yourself a back, if you want.

Yeah I know abut th bag, I talk about the rings

The ascended rings have overall better stats than the exotic rings, the infusion slot is just extra. You can see that in this screensot: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascended.

So yeah, even outside of the dungeon, ascended is the better equipment. Plain and simple.

I would love an answer to this too, can the entire armor sets be made this way? will there be plans to craft these sets in the future without stepping foot into a single dungeon as this game was originally intended to be via the manifesto?

Scroll down to the “Verified accessory recipes” section and you’ll see an assortment of Ascended recipes.

Except for the very limited choice of attributes…

You are right for some builds there is no ascended gear; for other build there is… So you just have to play a build which can’t utilize ascended gear. But that is probably not what you ment?

The problem is that crafting is already pretty useless as it is and if you can’t even get the highest tier of equipment in your crafting discipline well, than you just don’t have to bother with it, but perhaps this all will be better if Legendaries get better stats so you are required to have 2 crafting discipline on 400 just because it is required to build a legendary not because it is useful in it self.

Acutally chef will be the only useful crafting discipline, nobody will care for the others.
