Guild Wars 2

Thanks for adding a recipe to change stats on Ascended weapon and armor. It really helped a lot with random drops, making them worthwile, and also giving something to really make the difference from exotic gear.

However the same could be done for accessories, right?
I have my bank full of rings with random stats

Yeah, probably my favorite thing about the patch. Now i can experiment with builds again! I’ve heard around the forums that there is some plans to do something with ascended trinkets do don’t toss them away yet. Not sure what they plan to do exactly but hopefully it happens soon.

I could use some zealot’s trinkets…

Is there a reason why we didn’t get the same kind of recipe for accessories in the last patch?

A dev posted that they are making something that will use those trinkets, it was not specified what it will be so do not discard them.

too bad i deleted all the ring copies, rings ill never use and ascended armor with pretty much useless stats because they were taking too much bank space D:

The reason is because ascended jeweling never got introduced.

When ascended weapon and armorcrafting went live, they also introduced salvageable insignias and inscriptions for non craftable stats, like dire, soldier, rabid, sentinel etc.

The equivalent of exotic insignias and inscriptions are exquisite jewels but there are only limited exotic stats available from those, so it would have been a half baked solution.

there will be a way to do this once jeweler is expanded to 500 and we have a way to obtain and craft the crystalline orbs. with this opened up we will have the appropriate upgrade (exquisite jewels) for jewels to use in the mystic forge.

likely we will also have the ability to simply craft ascended trinkets from the ground up as well. with any luck it will be for the harder to obtain stat combos.
