Guild Wars 2

I have a lot of ascended chests in my bank that I can’t really use because they are all of the same type. It’d be kind of nice if I could throw them in the mystic forge with a vision crystal, ectoplasms, and an exotic head/chest/leggings/glove/feet/shoulder to transmute them

How did you even manage that? User error.

Can’t you pull out your desired armor piece and then convert that in the forge? Or do you mean you have too many gloves?

Oh, your lucky alts.

Open them up and choose the weapon/armor type you want. Then use the MF to change the stats to the stat-blocks you want.

Some people are just blessed with too much luck. :|

If ANet had wanted these things to be equivalent they would have given the boxes equal drop rates.

Open your chests, go to fractal lobby, buy ascended salvage kits and go for https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascended_Recycling

Or started dropping generic armor chests (where you get to choose which piece).

Or (as I think more likely), they didn’t think about the implication of the old drop tables for ascended after allowing us to change stats at will. i.e. this might have been an oversight, rather than intended behavior.

I think the current average is something like 1 every two weeks? It’s actually not uncommon to develop a stash. Anyone who does daily fractals knows the pain of holding onto 4 glove boxes or something along those lines.

I’ve been doing the fractal daily whenever I’m not swamped with schoolwork and have a decent sized stash considering I’ve only been playing an average of an hour a day the past month.

I’m currently sitting on

• 1x selectable armor box from wvw
• 2x Coats
• 1x Shoulder
• 3x Leggings
• 4x gloves

I have 3 full sets of ascended armor and only crafted one of those to run fractals. The only thing I’ve had to really craft are the weapons and aqua breathers and most of those were just because I was bored.

I however get it, I have a lot of friends who are still trying to get to T4. I think the random boxes are good way of stopping fractals from spilling out full sets of ascended armors. I would like a way to convert the boxes for ones I can use, but I honestly can wait a month or so to finish a new set.

ive been doing dailys and only have done like a week of t3’s. honestly grinding my first full set of ascended has been a major pain esp when the insignia alone costs 70 gold. its not even that i need ascended “kinda do for raiding though” but id like to get a decent drop for once. maybe a exotic or 2?

The insignia is the majority of the cost and is only 70 gold if you buy it straight off the tp and round up. I think it’s misleading to say “just the insignia” when it’s generally 50-75% of the cost of the armor piece. Only the medium chest is the only armor that cost over 100 gold. Ascended equipment is significantly more accessible since release. There’s currently 4 collections available for selected armor pieces. 2 of them being very reasonable. Weapons also got more accessible with specialization collections.

I don’t think you need much luck or need to do any significant grind to gain access to one set of ascended armor currently, which is why I’m rather indifferent to suggestions like this thread.
