Guild Wars 2

So as one of the many players who run FotM on a daily basis. I have gotten mutliple Fractal rings, which some are duplicate rings, and yet to get one with the stats I need to drop. Of course Anet has provided the pristine Fractal Relic solution, but I see feel that it’s not enough. It takes 20 fratcal dailies to get the rings you need, of course during the 20 Fratcal dailies you have a chance to get the rings you need. But why not push it a bit farther? Lets throw Fractal rings into the forge!!! Yes, I am crazy.

So this is how it might work. First you have your fractal ring, regardless what stats it has. Second you would use your regular Fractal relic to purchase a item that corresponds with the Fractal ring you want. Third throw more Fractal relics into the forge, cause heck you know your definity going to get the ring you want. And finally throw one Pristine Fractal relic into the forge. And BAM the fractal ring you need, and all for the Fractal relics you farmed for.

So this is how it would look like if you wanted Solaria, Circle of the Sun.

Royal Signet of Doric + Relic of the Sun + Fratcal Relics + Pristine Relic = Solaria, Circle of the Sun

Relic of the Sun would be the item that corresponds to the ring, Solaria, Circle of the Sun

Of course the forumla may change depending on how developers may balance it. But why I choose to use Fractal Relics so much, is cause it’s like dungon tokens, but due to how much relics we accumulate during the Fractal runs it becomes a inventory hog. I am aware that this suggestion rewards people who have more rings in their inventory but, at the moment ANet’s 20 Pristine Relic trade in, does not fix the fact that rings of NO use to the player problem, and acculmulated relics problem.

Thank you for reading my suggestion. Your comments are much appreciated.

I support this because the fractal gave me 3 of the same ring which i don’t want. I will be happy even if it is throw 4 ring to get a random one back.

I just sold two ascended rings to vendor..

or allow them to be salvaged into shards or orbs…

It’d be nice just being able to salvage the rings to get rid of them. Have them give a couple vials.

As it is, it’s not particularly difficult anymore to get the infused ring you like if you’re a regular fractal goer now that they added the pristine relics and the infusion upgrade recipe for rings. Combined with shards dropping at 20+.

What surprises me is Anet’s general silence on this issue. Much like Bon Jovi, they are really awesome at what they do… on occasion. There never was any explanation for why these rings are the exception to the salvage rule and excess ones become dead weight. At the very least we can make logical guess to the account binding.

Is the said fractal improvements coming on the 14th? or next month?

why can’t we sell them? people sell legendaries and exotics… what’s so special about ascended that doesn’t let us sell them
