Guild Wars 2

I’m working on my second ascended set of armor but this time with the guardian’s Keepers set. I was wondering how you would obtain the recipes. The normal way to get ascended armor would be to trade in 3G + 5 Laurel for the recipe but the Keeper’s set aren’t obtainable with this method. Wiki has no indepth detail on how to obtain the recipes. I checked the trading post and there are keeper ascended armor recipes but they are absurdly expensive and its not even fully stocked. For example, the heavy armor keeper recipe for headpiece – visor is out of stock. The heavy armor recipe for the leggings – tasset sells for over 240gold for that single recipe.

So my questions are, are these items discontinued? Are currently any methods out there available to acquire these recipes other than Trading Post?

There is also a possibility Anet will release the recipe again.

It happened to a few item like celestial or sentinal.

If you are willing to wait for Anet to release it again. No guarantee, but I think it is likely.

Keeper’s (ascended) and zealot’s (exotic) recipies were only available during the Marionette event in living story season 1. The only way to get them now is buying them on the trading post.

Thank you both. I didn’t know that they were planning on releasing it again.

Nobody knows that (and that likely includes Anet) – some people are just hoping for it.

Imo the whole idea of time limited access to stat recipes was bad in the first place. They really should have made an alternative source for them.

This is my opinion but I would recommend NOT investing in PPH for an ascended Armor set for your Heavy classes. With how this game works in PvE and the numerous dmg preventions of a guardian…Zerkers is a better long term investment. The healing power you get from PPH could easily be gained from jewelry if you really felt strongly about healing power for some reason. If you want to play around with the healing power than just go exotic…..it’s only a 5% difference anyways.

For example: my two heavy ascended sets are both zerker and one is runed with strength and the other with scholar. My third heavy set is tankie for WvW commanding and is a mix of clerics and sent…keep in mind…I only have that set because it was free from fractal defenders boxes. For light I have three sets: two zerker with scholar and Haolbrek runes and an assassins set with ranger runes for my mesmers. All these sets have long term flexibility and can moved around since taking runes out of Aarmor isn’t cheap. I don’t imagine you’d ever want to put keepers on a warrior if something changes in the game in the future.

Unless something in the game massively changes with healing power and PvE combat machanics change I don’t see the bang for your buck. My opinion tho.
