I don’t have artificer leveled so I’d have to do that but willing to do so if it’s the way to go.. the only other option seems to the the mystic forge which looks expensive.

I also don’t want to go the cheap route to only have to make the more expensive one a month down the road.

What do you think is the best way to get Agony?

The artificer way is only for agony infusions (those that drop in fractals, and are fitted in the additional agony slot on ascended rings and backpacks marked as “infused”). Those infusions cannot be placed in standard offensive/defensive/utility infusion slots.
The standard slot can be filled with +agony +stat infusions from Mystic Forge (the costly option), or the plain versatile +5 agony infusions from the relic vendor inside fractals (75 relics per piece makes them the very cheap option).

Actions, not words.

Ascended items can have 2 infusion slots:
Agony Infusion
Slot Infusion (Utility / Offense / Defense)

all ascended items have a slot infusion (or 2, for 2-handed weapons)
infused ascended items also have an agony infusion (only rings and back pieces)

A Offense infusion can only go into an offense slot
A Defense infusion can only go into a defense slot
A Utility infusion can only go into a utility slot
A Agony resist infusion can go into the Agony resist slot
A omni infusion can go into any slot

You want agony resist, and there are several choices (for ‘cheapest’, pick the one that’s easiest for you to get as they use different currencies):
- you can craft ones with +5 stat / +5 AR in the MF. they cost around 20-30g worth of T6 materials (http://dulfy.net/2012/11/17/gw2-ascended-gear-and-infusion-recipes/#2). these can only go in offense or defense slot (some are only offense, some are only defense, some are either).
- you can buy a +5 AR versatile simple infusion from the BUY-4373 in the fractals lobby for 75 fractal relics. I believe these can go in offense or defense or agony infusion slot
- you can buy a +5 AR infusion from the TP for 1.5g. these can only go in an agony infusion slot.

there are also infusions you can buy from laurel vendors that have +4 stat or +5 stat and damage to/from wvw guards. these can only go into offense or defense slots
then there are utility infusions, which can only go into utility slots

If you’ve got a guildie with an artificer, I’m pretty much certain you can trade him your +1’s and some gold for the thermocatalytic goldsink. He can send back the +5.

My posts are facts as I know them, or my own opinion, and do not represent any guild.
