Guild Wars 2

So I have recently started doing fractals and I am at level 11, that’s like 10 fractals done so far and I have got only 1 Vials of condensed Mists essence dropped for me so far.

Does anyone know their drop rate? At this rate I would roughly need to do 50+ fractals at over level 20 before I can make my first infused ring. Just did my first level 10 fractals today and bam, had the zerk ring dropped for me from the daily chest.

I was running almost all of the fractals with 0 magic find, now I hate running non-farm dungeons with MF gear but superior rune of the pirate is looking very tempting rightnow.

Sometimes you get 0 drops in one run.. sometimes ever 4 of them. If you ever want to upgrade anything with those materials, do 20+ fracts for crystal essence and then break it down to globs and vials at mystic forge. After all, which do you prefer: 50 vial drops or 5 crystals? (random numbers but the point stays.)

20-30 is where you want to play at. Scoring infused rings and crystallized mist essence at those lvls. Go to 48 for skins.

For fractals 20-30 I need 25 AR unless someone else agrees to carry me, that means I need 5 ascended gear or atleast 4 ascended and 1 backpiece without any infused items.
And getting ascended equipment isn’t easy, I would be able to buy 1 accessory in the next 6-7 days but then again its another month of waiting.
Rightnow I have 15 AR with +5 on 2 rings and +5 on backpiece. I went with utility slot for neck, yeah I know my bad…….

You can still use AR infusion on utility slot. And at 20-29 15 AR is the minimum to survive any agony without healing.

Bambu.4270:

You can still use AR infusion on utility slot. And at 20-29 15 AR is the minimum to survive any agony without healing.

Really? That’s great then, I thought you could only use those laurel infusions for utility slot. And we can also replace infusions like other upgrades right?

You can replace as many as you want.

I completed levels 20-30 with 15 AR. I don’t think it is possible to get to level 30 without scoring at least one infused ring. If you are concerned or can’t seem to avoid the agony attacks then repeat the lower levels until you have enough relics for the back piece.
