I farmed a lot the past few weeks in order to save up some money so I can finally finish all this ascended crap. Now I only have to worry about good looking gear and my next project is the Light of Dwayna backpiece.. Unfortunately it’s still bugged and I can’t buy the recipe on the TP.
UPDATE: Done with my dwayna backpiece yay!
EDIT: I didn’t really like the looks of the light ascended armor so I used transmutation splitters for my exo and bought transmutation stones to transfer the current flamekissed skin because of it’s T3 looks. Because apparently there’s a bug, you can’t transmute from exotic to ascended directly if you have the skin on (thus preventing the transfer of runes as well).

for now, yea..
for some reason I don’t think you really had to farm for the gold on it lol just played the tp for a day or 2 for good measure anywho congrats on the set I’m waiting for legendary armor access etc but still may not play it unless we have tengu race : D side not off topic I only have twilight and predator but then again I rarely play anymore and didnt really back then either worked 2 jobs for first 4 months and then just life and 1 job for the rest

I really need to learn how to play the TP… any tips?
Anyway the reason why I rushed my ascended armor is more psychological than anything. I just want BiS slot equips done so I can focus more on the game without feeling incomplete.

Just a tip..
Playing the tp means you are profiting other players.
Aside being unethical (imho but its a long debate), its NOT a viable solution for players.
If all players started to flip the TP, we would just obtain a 30% loss for everyone.
In the current situation you just have few players profiting at other players cost (+ 30% loss totaly on other players).
that is why i hate TP so much.
The damage is way worse than the benefit for the Whole community…but few players at least are rich without Killing a mob….
Its also the ONLY form of FORCED pvp in this game.

Hmm that’s an interesting point of view.. I guess I’ll stick to farming then.. As much as I want to earn back the gold I spent on my ascended, I’d still rather stick to being ethical and definitely not harm the community. Thanks.
Not sure if I’m supposed to laugh or cry now. You must be one of those 1% rich players.

totally not…you can see me frequently asking for TP flipping nerf ….the most broken aspect of the game….
And i know some players that profit it a lot with many legendaries, T3 and thousands golds having issues to complete cof1 <.<

Sirendor is most likely talking about the OP.
On another note, while I don’t TP flip, I appreciate the fact that there is a gold sink built into the TP. It’s good for the economy.
And you skinned all of them with a set you know is going to change without knowing what it’s going to change to…
This won’t end well.
Unfortunately it’s still bugged and I can’t buy the recipe on the TP.
You seem to have a lot of gold and and a lot of patience to farm like you did. Why don’t you buy 1000 giant wintersday gifts and open them? This way well… you’ll get the recipe. I opened 500 of those and got 3 Light of Dwayna recipe + 1 thingy of Grenth recipe. Several friends of mine reported to get between 1 and 3 with 500 gifts. So they are actually not hard to get.
i opened 1500 or more (i m not rich i just had 20.000 dungeon tokens i converted to gold)….
and i didn t get anything…
RNG is risky…

Actually I did open a lot of gifts but I didn’t get any..
Holy grind god! I don’t even have an ascended weapon, cuz of my lack of time to grind…im really happy for You. I don’t know when i will achieve my own ascended set or weapon, maybe in next year or so
Gratz on the Ascended armor.
What are you going to skin them with if the replacement skin ANet is designing sucks?

Thanks.. I’ll probably buy the phoenix armor set again coz it’ll fit nicely with the dwayna backpiece.
May i suggest you to try the feathered set if you like the dwayna backpack?
You can get it for few silvers <.<
That’s a lot of money… say, would you mind showing your stats?
Congrats to you. Why is ascended crap though?
Everyone wanted something like Ascended at launch but exotics were to easy to aquire, so they gave us ascended.

Please step down from the cloud you are talking from and join the other player’s.
The TP is just another auction house found in pretty much every other game. It’s simply another form of entertainment for some. The mistake in your logic is thinking anyone owes anything to the community.
The last time I checked I as well as many others purchased the game for our own “personal” enjoyment.
If I wanted to help a community I would join a missionary.
As far as being unethical – who are you to say what is or isn’t ethical for someone.
The problem we have here is another entitlement person who feels we should redistribute the wealth in a video game.
When does it end…….
P.S. Gratz on your armor friend.
Congrats to you. Why is ascended crap though?

Well that’s debatable.. I was perfectly happy with exotics as the BiS equips.. I really don’t think ascended were necessary and that it goes against the manifesto but that’s a topic that has already been discussed to death in the forums. I’m just relieved to finally be done with the whole thing.
As far as the stat goes, I think the increase is barely noticeable. Again, this was more of a choice for psychological reasons more than anything.
Ok here are the stats per piece
Congrats to you. Why is ascended crap though?

Correction…maybe half of the population. Probably less than half. The people that wanted this came from the same mentality that is a WoW player.
The people that are upset with ascended gear, including myself, are people that came to GW2 for no gear grind, specifically for stats. We wanted aesthetic gear grind.
Not going to get into this age old debate, but Id say around half or less than half of the community wanted this. This is to please the people that MUST consume content as quickly as possible instead of enjoying it.
So no, not everyone wanted ascended gear.

Where are the recipes for the armor though. Anyone have a URL?

I disagree on almost all of this. Every player has the option to put an offer in instead of paying the asking price. No one is exploited. I do both, depending on how time I have. Offers are preferable, but sometimes I just don’t want to wait. You mentioned 30% profit a couple times. This is at the high end and with a 15% loss on sales (5% is non-refundable) there is a hefty gold sink built in to the TP. So to gain 30% profit on top of the 15% loss…well, there just aren’t that many things with that much profit margin. 15% clear profit is a more reasonable expectation. Without this 15% tax there would be even more money in the economy and items in the TP would be even more expensive. A larger problem, IMO, is the gem to gold conversion. Now some of the staunch will argue that all of the gold people buy come from in game by people that convert gold to gems for sale. Of course, this is just another flipping transaction (More of a long term investment) and people have made tons of money flipping gems. My personal opinion is that the gem to gold conversion should be killed as it injects more money in to the economy than the gold sinks can handle and until I see numbers from ANet no one will convince me that the gem store does not inject enormous amounts of gold in the economy that causes huge inflation. Flippers with big money, certainly not me with a meager couple hundred gold, don’t like ascended because it’s going to take the focus away from big ticket flipping items such as precursors, legendaries, and many of the top end exotics, such as destroyer weapons and so many other things. In general, this should hopefully bring the prices down somewhat on such items as they become more difficult, at least temporarily, to move. Legendaries should never have been tradeable, but imagine how expensive precursors would be if they weren’t.

Thats cute, you always recognize the people that have no understanding of economics, markets, and the necessity of trade because they are the ones that pull numbers out of thin air to validate their baseless opinions.
The trade post in this game actually redistributes wealth from people that farm alot or buy gems to trade for gold, as most of these players have the mentality of they must have the latest and greatest as soon as it can be obtained. Alot of money can be made off of players such at the OP that wanted their armor ASAP.
For example, I am a player with a full time job and a family, I have very few hours to play on a day to day basis but I have amassed a wealth comparable to a dedicated farmer. How? It just takes a little critical thinking and planning ahead, making long term investments in preparation of updates such as this one. Without the trade post, I wouldn’t have much as I HATE farming, and don’t have as many hours to generate income in game.
Congrats btw OP, may the advantage of having ascended armor before most people be long and fruitful.
Congratulations

Would you take a pic of your TOTAL stats in berserker exotics and your berserker ascended?
What’s up with your graphics? o.O
The Dwayna back piece is pretty cool, but after seeing Balthazar I’m wondering if they’ll add Melandru or Lyssa too~ I’d much rather have one of those. :o

I’ll just use the one with a utility slot for that sweet 20% mf.
finished up a heavy set for my female human guard. I didn’t care for the helm, mantle and gloves. so transmuted those. Overall I really like the look, with graphics set at max. I like seeing the detail in the artwork. Thank you anet.
so the leggings give and extra 1+ Crit damage to the berserker ascended armor set and that’s it.

Sorry I put my graphics to best performance when in wvw hahaha. I’m having second thoughts on the dwayna backpiece too tbh because of the balthazar one.. If they add lyssa i will definitely choose that over dwayna since in my personal story background, I chose Lyssa as my patron being a mesmer and all..
As far as the stats are concerned, I think somebody already made a thread about it and the overall increase in berserker is just like having a mere extra ruby orb. Again, I rushed my set for the sense of “completion” on my character, since when they started introducing ascended, I was never as happy as I was when I started playing gw2 thinking I already had BiS equips and only had to worry about cosmetics. But now that it’s done, I can play however I want again. It’s a good feeling for me especially in wintersday so I can focus on the aspects of the game that I like. XD

In my case yes, I tried to transmute directly from my exotic armors to the ascended but it won’t let me.. I had to use transmutation splitters first then use transmutation stones to transfer the skin.
I filed a ticket and posted in the game bugs section of the forum to confirm whether this is intentional or not..

Congratulations op & good luck getting more map completions for legendaries lol.
Not sure if I’m supposed to laugh or cry now. You must be one of those 1% rich players.
It’s more of a choice TBH, many people can afford to drop gold for full set @ day 1 to bypass the timegate but most are holding back for a couple of weeks when you can do it for a fraction of the cost and make multiple sets for all your builds.

Yea, I knew I could’ve had the set in half the cost if i waited a day or so.. But ascended items were like an itch i couldn’t scratch when it was announced. So I had to get rid of it by making it asap and now I’m pretty satisfied.. My issue now is about exotic skins not being transmutable to ascended armor skins. I don’t really like the idea that we have to buy transmutation splitters first before we can transmute. :/

You should just check reviews on gw2 economy on the internet by people with “proper understanding”.
Because its not as you say..
1st part with ascended….
Players have to get the best armor asap….
What about being locked out of your faorite part of the game until you get it?
(dunno if you can suggets me a cheap way to get 70 AR…..)
What about the manipulation of demand by people joining to drain resources from the tp and create a false lack of?
(you know its illegal in real economy?)
Do we want to talk about sigil of generosity for example?
But MOSTLY do we want to talk about how farming is continuosly nerfed and how TP flipping that generates enormous amount of moneys (more than 100X comparing to a farmer) is untouched?
Or about the effect having on rare items AND GEMS being available easily to flippers and out of reach of any other player not using real moneys?
(permanent contracts, rare skins etc……).
Do we want to discuss how many flippers bought dozens precursor to resell them (increased 400% in price in one week …see minstrel for example and it wasn t redesigned at all)
You can try to deny it but we see how stuff work…
Your income is at real players cost + 30% taxes and ALSO you have no real risk…..unless you made real huge mistakes (see gossamer…..that was really easy to see).

Ok so the issue with me not being able to transmute from exotic to ascended directly might pose a bigger problem than I thought, particularly to those who plan to use T3 cultural armors.. :/ If you use a transmutation splitter, will your T3 armor become a skin so that you can use it for your ascended armor?
Either way, if it’s intentional, I don’t think it’s very nice to force us to use splitters or buy new skins from the gem store in order to change our ascended armor’s appearance. I just hope it’s a bug. I’ll update you guys once customer support responds to my ticket.
Needing splitters to transmute looks from exotic to ascended gear = meh… Hope this is a bug. Or could it be related specifically to the light flamekissed armor skins, as ANet removed them from the gem shop? Maybe transmutation of these skins was blocked on purpose, as applied skins might be easier to replace with a new design than items that are considered “transmuted”. Dunno, just a thought.
I know for a fact that transmuting exotic weapon looks to ascended weapons ain’t a problem, no splitters needed there (got a fractal longbow with ascended stats). Would expect the same for armor.
i just trasmuted an exotic fotm sceptr to an ascended one…..
it could be a bug.

I hope you’re right. If it is a bug though, I sure hope customer support would reimburse the gems i used (splitters + stones).
HMM seems like it IS a bug since someone said they were able to transmute a priory skinned exotic armor to an ascended. It sounds like the bug is from the flamekissed armor skin.

It is so EASY to power trade on the TP, and yet so many people complain about it.
Where are you pulling this 30% from? I can make up numbers too.
Gossamer was a mistake. Lets see. I bought about 20k Gossamer scraps at what…. 1s a piece back before weapons were released and then sold them for 8-9s a piece the week before armor came out? What a mistake!!!!!
The bug for transmuting, from what I can tell, is specific to the Flamekissed armor. That skin was pulled from the trading post and is slated for replacement as soon as the new set is complete. It’s probably flagged internally and causing issues.

If you buy and reselll in order to create demand and gain a margin you have to get past
15% taxes that the “farmer” will lose
15% sell taxes
And your profit…
Obviously its not 30% (because the prices are different and the second 15% has the first 15% transaction cost added)i simplified it.
So instead going from
Farmer +15% taxes => player needing it
with benefit of both final user and farmer we will have
we have
farmer +15%=> TP flipper => buyer that will pay 15% more and then also your profit.
Proof of this system inequity:
It will work only if FEW do that ….when too many tries instead the system fails (see gossamer)
I bought about 20k Gossamer scraps at what…. 1s a piece back before weapons were released and then sold them for 8-9s a piece the week before armor came out? What a mistake!!!!!
The best part of gossamer incident is that bad flippers paid your revenue in this case was even worse:
Farmer=>flipper1=>flipper 2=> late flipper…..=> sold with loss of late flipper…..
Even i bought my gossamer cheap…..but i bought the amount i needed for my personal use…and didn t resell any.
This system would be only acceptable if TP war was the main part of the game and you could win by dominating the TP….its not in a game called guild wars 2 based on Killing stuff.
