Guild Wars 2

I don’t understand the huge amount of crafted materials needed for ascended armor.
I’m speaking here of lingot, bolt, leather, and plank.

For an exotic greatsword, you need 21 orichalcum lingots and 10 ancient wood plank => 31 exotic materials.
For an exotic heavy armor, you need 16 orichalcum lingot and 37 bolts of gossamer => 53 exotic materials.

So, the ratio is 53/31=1,7. We need 1,7 more recoltable materials to craft an exotic armor compared to an exotic weapon. (That’s ok, logical that it costs more.)

What about ascended ?

For a heavy armor, I need 25 bolts of damask and 16 deldrimor lingots => 41 ascended materials
For a greatsword, I need 9 deldrimor lingots and 3 spiritwood plank => 12 ascended materials.

There, the ratio is 41/12= 3,4 !!! Twice compared to exotic craft !!

Why ascended armor would need so much recoltable materials compared to exotic armor ? It should be the same ratio !

Do you only have one weapon? How does your calculation change if you have three weapons (one two handed in each hand and one underwater weapon)? Or even if you just had the sword and an underwater thingy?

Let alone if you are a double dual-wielder with six weapons to make…

What you say is right, but it should be the same for exotic gear and ascended gear
(you should want to craft your exotic gear to ascended gear)
