Fractals 10, ascended gear needed?
No, you dont NEED ascended gear for level 10, but you will have to dodge more often and take more damage from agony than needed with proper gear.
Keep doing FoTm the best way to get Ascended items atm. Do your 10 daily for chance @ ring.
Ive done fractals 10 a few times since the patch with no ascended gear, it’s a bit more interesting with the agony actually.

I hope this is the right place to ask. I have a character who is up to fractals level 10, but has not got any ascended items from any previous levels. Do I need ascended items to complete level 10 fractals? What level should I do to try to get ascended items?
No you don’t need to worry about ascended gear for level 10 but you will have a slight disadvantage. You need ascended for agony resistance. Agony is only on specific attacks by end bosses and can be dodged. However, Jade Maw has unavoidable agony so having some agony resistance for even-numbered fractals is a good idea starting at 20.

No. Agony is introduced at level 10, but it’s hardly going to destroy you.
Do fractal 10 a couple of times till you get a ring, and you’ll be set for the next couple of levels.
There is no way to get ascended gear pre-10 unless you upgraded a triforge amulet. Rings only come from daily chests lvl 10 and higher. You could get a back piece and upgrade it to ascended but thats 1850 fractal relics and some other stuff. Really your just looking for a little AR like me.
I have no AR and have run lvl 10 half a dozen times and gotten 2 rings that I can’t really use. Having no AR I do get downed occasionally. As a rule of thumb I should have 5 AR for lvl 10 or to progress so I’ll do a few more runs then buy a ring if I have to. I’m figuring I’ll need 15 AR to run fotm 20 so thats 2 rings and a back piece.

You try to get ascended items in the 10-19 bracket. They’re not even needed until 20+, and even then it’s doable as long as someone in the group has some AR to pick up those without when they go down from Jade Maw’s agony.
