Guild Wars 2

Hello

I only just got to level 400 recently in armor smith and I made my first set of exotics. But I did so reluctantly. After some time searching online and in the world, I could not find an insignia that applied Power, Toughness, and Vitality to my exotic.

I was hoping this is an oversight on my part, but the answers I’ve found online and with other players is that such an insignia does not exist.

I would like to know if I simply was misled or if this is true. If it is true, I think it is an error on anets’ part or is it intentional. If an error, I would be happy to see such an insignia from a karma vendor. If it was intended, I would like to know why.

Its just a bit of a let down to get all the way to level 80, make all those materials and then realize that i can’t actually make the armor I wanted to :P

Thanks for any replies. Sorry if this has been posted before.

Just to confirm because you still seem to have some doubt, there are only 7 stat distributions of insignia each tier, corresponding to the 7 non-dust fine materials for the tier.

On the one hand, it would be nice to be able to craft more varieties, perhaps though combining different fine mats in one insignia instead of all claws, or all bloods.

On the other hand, it motivates me to do dungeons for other stat combinations.

Its not an error. There are multiple stat sets that are not craftable. These sets are reserved to Dungeon venders and Karma venders. Just in the same way crafted sets are reserved to crafting and not available at said venders.

Thank you very much both of you for confirming that. i did not know if i had to mystic forge something or…well, it was driving me batty. Has this not come up before/ Those are pretty standard stats and the only way I’ve found to get them is karma farming armor…which I don’t like the look of. I wanted the crafted set because of the “I made it” aspect. Like i said, is disheartening to find i can’t make what I wanted to is what this is about.

This is a good place to check what stat combos are available where: wiki link

EDIT: It doesn’t appear to list it here but you can get power/vit/tough from WvW Badges of Honor as well.
