Guild Wars 2

before HoT the personal reward chest could drop an ascended chest but now what i have to do to drop them in fractals?

Speaking of fractal personal reward chests, you get that from doing 1 Fractal Island + 1 Boss Fractal Island in each tier, right? Haven’t played much in fractals since patch but I have maxed my fractal masteries.

i have done this post because i dont know how to obtain them or if there is an another way to obtain ascended

under your achievements section in the hero panel, click “fractals of the mists” and then hit “fractal dailies”. this is where the various personal chests come from.

Hmm. So no more chest like there use to be. Got it.

Apparently the only way to get ascended gear now is to craft it, unless ANet decides to actually add rewards to fractals.

I have about 5 chests in my bank of ascended armor plus one weapon chest. I salvaged one for a glob of dark matter of what is it called, for the collection ach. I salvaged around 30 rings, no globs. So, we are going to be forced to craft ascended to salvage it, in order to get legendary back? Because i expect we’ll be needing a butt load of globs for legendary back.

You can still get ascended chests from fractals, from the dailies like before. Except now, you only have to do 3 fractals, instead of a full run of 4.

Ive gotten 1 armor chest and a good number of rings, so not too different from what I got before.

There are 4 potential daily reward chests you can get ascended from: doing 3 fractals within each bracket of 25.

The daily where you have to do 1 specific fractal does not drop ascended as far as I can tell.

I’ve been doing all of the fractal dailies since HoT released (minus maybe 1 day), and I’ve yet to receive any boxes of ascended equipment. The same goes for the people that I’ve been running with. Rings are not counted in this, because they’re easy enough to get, but even their droprate has lowered significantly since the expansion launched.

Now, in order to complete the first collection for the backpiece, you’ll need to craft ascended gear to salvage (or like you, and get lucky on 0.5% drop chance). You also need 2 more to make the tier 1 back piece. So that’s 3 or more crafted ascended pieces that need to be salvaged before you can move up to the tier 2 precursor collection. Absurd.
