Guild Wars 2

Hello, I’m new to fractals. My main reason for getting into them was for the fractal back piece.
In order to get the ascended piece I’ll need about 1800 relics.
Now, currently I’ve been spending my relics on versatile agony infusions so I could go to higher scaled fractals, I’ve got 23 Ar so far

My question is, in general, how do I maximize relics gain?
Considering how high in scales should I go? How high should my Ar go? Which infusions should I use on my ascended pieces? Should I make any infused gear? How do I even infuse it?

Thank you for your patience

Aren’t there diminishing returns or something?
BTW, why 40?

its molten boss duo one of the quickest fractals

Are there diminishing returns?
How much ar would I need for this? And how should I get it? With versatile or is it worth infusing my gear?

43 AR for fractal 40. If you have full trinkets, versatiles will get you to 30 or 42 if using +7s. Can attune rings cheap and use some cheap infusions if needed.

There are no diminishing returns on fractal relics.
