Guild Wars 2

Today I tried to learn how someone can make ascended gear, and I’m now more confused than when I started.

So first off, what ascended gear can you make? Can any gear be given ascended rank, or is there a list of gear? Secondly, what exactly is a vision crystal? Also, I’m interested in making Berserker armor, do I just need to buy Zojj’s recipe from my profession master and I’m done with that?

Future thanks to anyone that can shed some light, by the looks of it, I’m going to need to keep a notebook to keep track of all this.

Unlike normal crafting, you do not discover, you need to buy all recipes.

For Zojja stuff, you need to buy Zojja inscription or insignia recipe (karma) and the Zojja armor piece or weapon recipe (laurels & gold) from your craft merchant.

Then you will need to make Zojja inscription, vision crystal, and 2 parts of the item (like hilt and blade). You will need vision crystal for weapons and chest armor, lesser vision crystal for all other armor pieces.

For inscription or insignia you need 400ish zerker inscription or insignia, plus ascended dovel or insignia, dark matter orb and 10x 400ish dust.

Dovel and ascended parts are made of deldimoor ingots, spiritwood planks and armor is the worst – bolt of damasc. They make damasc way harder than weapon materials, you need 100 silks and also the other fabrics, namely linen, are now extremely expensive.

Remember that deldimoor ingots, spiritwood planks and damasc need a component you can make only one per day. So even if you have all mats, it will take at least 5 days to make everything you need.

Good luck with your crafting.

Okay, so I’m starting to understand this. I’ll need to buy all the recipes from my respective master, then make the berserker inscription for my items.

Thank you, I’m definitely understanding all the fun stuff now, and it looks like I’ll be in it for a while before I can have all my gear.

One thing I want to clarify, this is the inscription I need for every piece of armor, correct? http://www.gw2db.com/items/81340-zojjas-berserker-inscription-s

And this can help you too , check out the 400+ area.

That is the weapon inscription.

Personally I wouldn’t really bother with ascended stuff, as the miniscule gain in stats (to me) isn’t worth it, asides the armour increase.

I don’t play this game competitively enough for it to matter one way or the other, but if you want BiS gear wait for legendary to come out (hopefully stats will be swappable like with weapons), and save all that grief when they do the next “class-balance”.
