Guild Wars 2

Normally I PUG the fractals, they are never on my priority list, when I am bored from other game modes PVP, PVE, raids, etc…

Lately I joined big active guild, which are regularly running fractals but naturally they are way above my fractal level.

Now when I want to join them, they are normally running fractals 60+’s or so and my AR is not high enough. I have all the ascended trinkets, backpiece and weapons, I have not enough gold for ascended gear.

So my AR is 40 and is not enough, then they told me, there are now 7 AR infusions, Ok then I have 56 AR, still not quite good enough for 60 fractals.

Then I read about this attuned ascended rings (I think it is only for rings isn’t it?) thing in wiki and now I am lost.

I fallow the wiki recipe and I have the attuned slot on my ring but what to put there, I think normal infusion are not going there, then I have in the inventory those +1 Agony Orbs or whatever.

They are also grouped as 3 +1 AR, 4 +1AR, 9 +1AR these are the ones grouped in my inventory, I tried to apply 9 +1AR to ring, ring got +1AR and 9 +1AR now become 8 +1AR.

Can I only get +1AR on the attuned rings, I mean I think wiki mention it can get higher AR but it is so confusing.

So please help……

hello.
the attuned infused rings allow you to put one versatile +5 or +7 infusion in one slot (you can buy those in fractals).
the other to slots are for those very globs you are talking about.
if you have an artificer profession, you can combine 2 +1 agony infusion with 1 thermocatalytic reagent to become +2 agony infusion and so on.
only thing you need is 2 agony infusion of the same level plus the catalyst to increase 1 level.
it takes time and is exponentially expensive to craft it, but you can potentially cover the 150 agony resistance required for level 100 just with trinkets and rings

Ok I can understand the 2 +1AR but what is the purpose of 9 +1 AR or why it became 8 +1AR when I try to apply to the ring.

because you applied one +1 infusion from a stack of 9 of them.

You had 9 +1 infusions, you put one of them in the ring.

You did the same thing as attempting to apply a stack of 9 runes to one armor piece. You just took one off your stack.

If you want +9 AR, you need to start combining those +1 infusions to make higher level ones. You can not add a stack of infusions to a ring just like you can’t add a stack of runes to a single armor piece.

The reason you get so many +1s that you have huge stacks of them is that you should be combining them either with an artificer or at the mastry merchant, to turn those stacks of +1s in to smaller stacks of +2 or +3, and those in to +4 and so on.

Think of the +1s as “ore” you can use to “refine” in to infinite higher level infusions by combining them over and over.

If you want a +9 agony infusion to go in the attuned or infused slot, you need 256 +1 agony infusions. Two +1s make a +2, two +2s make a +3 etc. So the amount required to make the next higher infusion increases by a factor of two every time.

To get 150 AR, the cheapest method is using +7 versatiles on everything (98 AR total), then use three +10 infusions (made with 512 +1s or bought for 15g) and two +11 infusions (made with 1024 +1s or bought for 30g) on the infused/attuned slots for rings and back.

2x +1 ar = 1x +2ar. Keep crafting or buying them until u reach a +10 for example (would need 512 ).
Thats for the agony infusion slots 1 and 2 in case u have an attuned ring (infused) wich have 3 slots in total , the 1st one being a simples offensive, defensiva or utility slot, in which u put a +7 versátil simples infusion.
