Guild Wars 2

According to patch notes, you can now craft 8 different ascended backpieces in the mf with bloodstone dust instead of mist essence.

I just tried this and it looks bugged, unless they changed the recipe entirely.

Doesnt work with:

50 ectos
250 t6 fine crafting mat
250 bloodstone dust
Philo stones/crystals

Edit: recipes with crystals work, others not.

So which 8 stats are available?

I wonder if the infusion upgrade still requires :

1 Glob of Coagulated Mists
1 Gift of Ascension

As the infusion adds AR, i think its fine to still use mist essence for it.

Still expensive but overall, a good change imo.

Zplus.4217:

So which 8 stats are available?

I think its only 4 stat combos, each with an offensive or defensive infusion slot.

With mist essence, there were 5 different stat combos available.

I guess they left out the Quiver of a Thousand Arrows and Yakkingtons Tale, both had magic find on them.

Stats available would be :

Zerker
Soldier
Rampager
Cavalier

No Cavalier’s?

Edit: I’m stupid. Your Rampager one is actually Cavalier’s.

Yeah and the last one is rampagers, i edited my post.

So do we have the actual full recipes?

I agree. The notes mentioned 8 recipes, but did not LIST them. Seeing how I have never done FotM, I have no knowledge of the recipes that are being altered. Can some Dev throw us a bone and list the recipes in full?

Nevermind….I found them on the wiki. But a confirmation would be nice (especially which 2 of the 10 do NOT work with Bloodstone dust).

The two that don’t work are the two that had Traveler’s stats as Traveler’s stats are not in the game anymore.

The ones that had travelers stats are still in the game but you get to select the stats you want. So if you want celestial, dire and such, you make the Quiver of a Thousand Arrows or Yakkingtons Tale. Then you pick that stat. But you can only make those with the vial of mist essence.

It’s my understanding that the 8 new recipes mentioned in the patch notes are 8 currently craftable ascended back slot items that do not have traveler’s stats. This is the question that I am addressing. What you can or cannot craft with mist essence is another topic altogether.

Can anyone link the recipe for this stuff?
What EXACTLY is required to craft an ascended backpiece?

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge/Equipment#Backpieces

you are not able to craft the fractal capacitor’s, Sclerite Karka Shell, Quiver of a Thousand Arrows and There with Yakkington: A Traveler’s Tale with the new method.

All other back pieces can be crafted, just replace the mist essence with 250 bloodstone dust.

Well dang. The Quiver of a Thousand Arrows and There with Yakkington were the two I had my eye on. I do have sufficient Vials of Mist Essence (all I’m lacking are the Vicious Claws), but it would have been nice to get rid of some of my Bloodstone Dust in the process.

Ah well. It’s all a moot point until I acquire the Claws anyway.

Yeah, the two I would craft are the two forcing me to FotM. Which is why I don’t have either of them in the first place GG
