Guild Wars 2

Are the new agony resistance infusions recoverable from the gear?
I’m assuming no since no other upgrade components are, but knowing is better than assuming.

I mean, say that I want a lvl 10 infusion, then it requires 2^(10-1) 1+ infusions.
That’s 512 infusions, a pretty sizeable sum.

If I then want to upgrade it to lvl 11 when I have 512 more infusions I can’t unless I can recover the old one from the gear. Because then I will need 1024 instead.

So it will be more and more a waste to place the infusion in the gear isntead of upgrading it, if it’s not recoverable, so the more you upgrade it, the less you would want to consume it.. Because.. just one level more…

So I’m not saying it is a problem and I’m not saying that I will need that much AR, but I would want to know how it works before starting the crafting.

I would also love to know this, because wow, that would make it a serious grind to get to +10 infusions then…because if you ever use the +5 or +8 or any of the other ones you are effectively starting over.

I have over 1700 fractals run, but that was over the last year. having to do that many just for 1 +10 infusion seems…really high.

Anet mentioned implementing an item that can extract upgrades from items (i.e. sigils, runes, infusions). I assume it will come in this patch for this very reason.

it will cost gems though

It will likely cost gems yes… Hopefully it will cost less gems than the most expensive upgrade component cost.
