Guild Wars 2

i decided to spend my laurel points for the first time and figured since i had 78 ill just buy two rings. i have read nowhere that you could not have two ascended items at the time so assuming this applies to earrings. i also have no idea if its simply one ascended jewelry period as in 1 necklace/no rings/earrings and so on. this page on the wiki doesnt even help http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascended. can there be a more easily accessible warning before people waste their laurels as i have? like on the items themselves even.

Actually, it is written on the items themselves. The Unique property.

Basically, you can’t use two items with the same name if they’ve got the Unique property. I may assume you got two rings with the same name, then.
That’s also why there are more items with the same stats (and different infusion slot).

There’s a band-aid fix though. Have one of them infused and it will count as a different ring.

I didn’t say it would be an easy or cheap fix.

The “Unique” sink hole strikes again! I feel for you OP. I was one of the first in the game to be bitten by this after the Lost Shores event with the Ancient Karka Shell. Unique really makes no sense at all. Especially when offensive and defensive infusions make no real difference.

now see i would have never found that page by conventional looking. i do admit i was a bit hasty to buy them so its not like im making a big fuss over it but you gotta admit thats a pretty sneaky thing to throw on there. maybe they should add it to the hint thing ingame about what a unique item means.
