Guild Wars 2

given that the token is only used for getting ascend Rings, and thus after getting said rings the token starts to accumulate with nothing to spend on, I’m wondering if the Devs can put more use to these things than just make them a useless inventory decoration.

for example we can have them function as laurels or tokens for obsidian shards
also with the ascend weapon patch we can use these things as tokens for the ascend items.

say 1 pristine tokens for 3-5 obsidian shards not out gracious i believe as at most. one can only obtain a maximum say 4 relic X 3 shard= 12 shards/day
say 40 tokens for a ascend weapon, for players who run 1 complete fractals/day will require 40 days to get a weapon and if he/she want the item faster then he/she must run 10,20,30,40 to get 4 a day which will be around more 10 days which is still slower than crafting.

based on my experience running 4 fractal per day is time consuming and mind breaking and annoying but this does open another way to get ascend items with out having players gather and craft stuff (as some players prefer to fight stuff then cut down trees)

also this will make fractals more popular to players, since as of now other dungeons will offer better rewards compare to fractals due to the tokens being able to be used for getting gear.

also players like me who have ran to fractals up to the 40s have banks full of ascend rings, thous things r annoyingly inventory space takers it could be nice if we can salvage them for something like ascend mats, at least its better than us selling them to npc for 4 silver

i would prefer to be able to trade them in for x number of normal relics (then again… if something is implemented as a way to get rid of asc rings -salvaging- pristine relics would be usable)

well anything would be fine like you said trade for X umber of fractal relics can be used for obsidian shards or skills which is simply same as trading 1 pristine relic for X shards or X skill points

anything is better than us trading these for rings than npc them for 4 silver

It would be nice if there were more things to spend them on instead of just rings. Personally I’d like to see everything that is sold for fractal relics also be sold for pristine fractal relics. Or even some sort of exchange from PFR to regular fractal relics.

Or they could just let us salvage ascended items for ascended crafting mats.
Buy rings just to salvage for mats.

that be cool as well salvaging rings for ascend mats since they are of equivalent tier anyways , this way it could make fractal more worthy of doing

+1
More options for pristine relics would be awesome. Such as:

• Fractal weapons
• Ascended necklaces and earrings
• Ascended weapons and eventually armor
• Special fractal dye with mist effect
• Anything… Something…

I also like the idea of being able to salvage ascended rings for T7 mats.
