Guild Wars 2

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, the search function is not working since the day I visited this site for the first time.

Back items or spineguards in the game, they are hard to find and besides the temples or fractals there is no way of getting them? Yeah sure the personal story gives you one, but why can’t we craft them?

you can buy them from the guild vendor, but it’s kinda expensive (5g for rare, 5g + 5 commendations for exo)

it’s even worse for underwater mouth breather…

You can buy rare (and probably exotic) backpieces on the TP as well. Thye can’t be salvaged for ecto or used in the forge so there’s really no other use for them besides TP/vendoring, hence there’s a lot for sale and they’re cheap.

Not on EU tp, or maybe I am not searching for the right thing. The tp search for back items is like the search on this forum :/

Back item, gets me some, but about 5. Spineguard get’s me some hits but all are crap. No exotics, and the 2 rares are pretty bad.

Well, first of all, you won’t find exotic back items on the TP – only masterworks and rares. Exotics you’ll find from guild vendors and temple vendors. Ascended you can craft in the MF.
The quality doesn’t really matter though – back items barely anything more stat-wise than an extra gem slot, regardless of quality. From rare to exotic the stat difference is just 2×2 stats total. For ascended it’s probably 2×3, if we include the gems, still not worth it unless you want to infuse it afterwards.
