Is it possible to make? Seeing that the triforge was able to be upgraded, I was wondering if my karka shell would have a further use. Because lets face it, with the new ascended items… it will be pretty useless if not upgraded. Anyone found anything regarding this?

You’ve been given free valuable loot, and want it to be made even better?

Of course. But really, it was not “free”. I fought lots of invisible champion karakas that killed me and everyone else several times over with an uber roll, as well as doing lots of events and a big boss fight.

It is an reward, not a free trinket.

But given that it is already on the “same level” as the old triforge, I do not see why not it would be able to be upgraded. Not like its gonna ruin an economy or anything. It is just sad that it will never see use again unless it can be upgraded. After all it is a cool memento from the event.

Thus I ask if anyone know if it can, or cannot be upgraded

Why on Tyria are you using Celestial trinket to begin with is my question there.

It works quite well on my Elementalist build actually. All my other characters got more specific gear.

When I saw there was an ascended karka accessory available, I was thinking this might be the case as well. If there is, though, I’m thinking it might not be in the game yet?

I took off the karka shell to see if it showed up in the mystic forge, but nothing.

Still, it seems as though it would be plausible.

Yeah, would have been nice. Might be they add it later.

Free. Right.

Those were the most dreadful hours of my entire gaming experience ever.

I remember that fight 3hrs on our server. Invisible karka killing people. My lvl80 Ranger didn’t get a single kill credit the entire time. Lagging so bad you’re dead when it stops but when it started there was nothing around. Praying that final chest opening didn’t crash because the screen was black for the longest time.

Good times… good times :P

Actually, far from useless. In case you haven’t noticed, they’re account bound – not soulbound on use.

Any of your (fresh) 80ies can use them. Awesomeness +1

OooOOoohh, box of shinies. So many shinies!

Indeed! At least the event was memorable. Not sure how many times the “I see dead people” joke was made…

In theory yes, but Celestial stats does not work on all characters all that well, and usually I use a masterwork placeholder with the correct stats until get what I really want.
