Guild Wars 2

It costs 1 shard of crystallized mists essence, 3 globs of coagulated mists essence, and 5 vials of condensed mists essence to upgrade an ascended ring to an infused version.

I’m actually finding that I’m way short on the vials, and it seems silly to have to farm level 1-9 fractals for them, when I have no desire to do so. Maybe make them cost 250 or 500 relics each or something? You could only sell the lowest grade vials, and it would at least reduce the rng factor.

Another alternative would be to let us break down higher grade essences into lower grade versions (maybe something like 1:3).

Agreed. Level 22 here and I have yet to find a globe.

I’m in the same position here and I’m short of 3 vials so I can upgrade my ascended rings. I already have enough globs and shard mists essences. I did 3 tier 1 (lvl 1-9) full runs and didn’t get any vials. If exchanging tokens for mists essence is not a viable option, I’d like to suggest that we can at least salvage unwanted ascended rings for mists essence crafting materials. The mats would be account bound like the ring. This way will provide us better flexibility and more options in obtaining these essences.
