Guild Wars 2

Just started playing again after almost a year? break.

I have a Fractal longbow I want to use on my new level 80 warrior but it shows it has 2 unused upgrade slots. I would expected to be able to click it and select Beserker or what ever but it wont let me.

Anyone know this issue or know what I should do?

It’s an oldschool fractal weapon.. its basically useless (Just unlocks the skin for wardrobe)

Salvage it, gets unlocked for the wardrobe and those old ones can still be salvaged for ectos and darkmatter unlike the new ones.

You guys are not right, I had a solution posted but the mods deleted it…………. So now you all can figure it out on your own

I’m not really sure what you would claim the solution to be. If you have a fractal weapon from before they changed them to skins that you apply, you’ll have an exotic fractal weapon that doesn’t have any stats. The idea before was that you would use transmutation crystals to put them on your weapon. When the wardrobe came out, they changed them to skins you apply.

The solution was asking the customer support to replace it.

Since the new patch there are now ways to change the stats on ascended armor and weapons.

From the patch notes:

Added a Mystic Forge recipe to change the stats on ascended weapons and armor. The recipe is as follows:

• Ingredient 1: An ascended weapon or armor piece.
• Ingredient 2: The exotic insignia or inscription for the desired stats.
• Ingredient 3: Five globs of ectoplasm.
• Ingredient 4: An Anthology of Heroes, purchased from Miyani for 10 spirit shards.
• Result: A piece of ascended gear with the stats of the inscription or insignia of the same type as the piece of gear that went in.
• Example: Zojja’s Claymore + Knight’s Orichalcum Imbued Inscription + Five Globs of Ectoplasm + Anthology of Heroes = Beigarth’s Claymore
• NOTE: All upgrades are lost as part of this conversion.

That’s nice and everything, but the OP is talking about a fractal skin, not an ascended weapon.

And then I wonder why many players don’t read my lfgs. It’s a pandemic disease in gw2.

And not everyone started playing Fractals at the same time. There are newer players who are not aware the first rewards were just skins. Such as myself. So excuse me for not knowing.

Ah, ok. Was not aware that there were at one point rewards that were just skins and not actual weapons.

There still are. Fractal weapons are a specific skin set and that’s all they’ve ever been. Before, they used to come with exotic lvl 80 weapon strength and no stats. You’re confusing http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascended_weapon with http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fractal_weapon_skins.
