Guild Wars 2

I tried asking players-helping-players but no one there had any answers and time is running out.

I have an ascended FotM backpiece without any of the 250 ecto upgrades. I believe if I upgrade before the patch, I get an extra slot and one will contain a +5 infusion (come Tuesday’s patch.) If I wait then upgrade Tuesday my infusion goes away and I get two empty slots. So it is better to pay the 250 ectos now than to wait. Is this correct? I think so but so much money is at stake I want to double check.

if 75 relics are difficult to obtain, i would it now. also keep in mind ecto price creep as we get closer to possible ascended armor crafting….

If you are going to upgrade anyway, then yes, it seems to be better to do it now. Unless, of course, there is something we haven’t been told yet.

The price of ecto may go up following the update, as more people will get into fractals and need their stack to infuse their backpieces. It follows that there’s a possibility this will make it more expensive after the patch to both infuse and then slot a +5 in a backpiece.

It may not happen as well. Like all speculation it’s ultimately a gamble, but I think it will at least be slightly cheaper to infuse before the update.
