Today I realized that the ascended chestplate requires a vision crystal (500 raw ascended material for each kind) whereas other 5 pieces requires a lesser version (200 for each). However because I was too urged to craft these armor so I crafted six lesser vision crystals. Ultimately the extra lesser vision crystal becomes wasted, in my case, since I am not planning to craft another set of ascended armor. I am wondering if there are other players who commit the same mistake like I did because the fact that only the chestplate costs more whereas all others five cost less is incongruous.
I am not saying Anet should replace vision crystal by the lesser version for the chest plate since it is my mistake not to consult the list first. And I know that changing this is unfair for those who already crafted the whole set. But notice that getting these ascended materials, especially dragonite ores and empyreal fragments, is time consuming. I don’t think it is a good idea for these materials to be wasted.
My suggestion is to make one of the following recipes available to the mystic forge :
Recipe #1: 2 lesser vision crystals + 1 empyreal star + 1 dragonite ingot+ 1 bloodstone brick = vision crystal (2 augur’s stone = 40 skill points)
Recipe #2: 1 lesser vision crystal + 3 empyreal stars + 3 dragonite ingot+ 3 bloodstone bricks = vision crystal (1 augur’s stone = 20 skill points)
This is only my humble suggestion. Since Anet released the lesser version I think they know how hard to get these materials. I reckon that adding one of these recipes to the mystic forge is not technically difficult because it requires four kinds of item. Finally, I believe that i am not the only one who made such a mistake, and there might be more. For everybody it is frustrated to have these materials “wasted”.
Thank you for reading my complaing and thank Anet in advance.
Cheers.
