As the title says. How long do you think it will take to get all three pieces.

My thoughts: Yesterday I did nothing but fractals (because they are fun actually). After about 4hrs-5hrs, in groups of mixed skill, I came away with appox 85 tokens (not signed in can’t look at the actual number). If the rings are aquired using tokens are are simply not in game yet, we can assume that the rings currently for sale at the token vendor are placeholders. Each ring cost currently ~1400 tokens. This means, to get 1 ring requires ~60hrs (2hrs to get 50 tokens), and thats assuming you don’t use the mystic forage to create the rings (Gift of the ascended + ring + upgrade component = ascended ring).

Back slot items need 250 tier 6 mats, 50 ecto, 24 skill points, and the random drop crafting material from the dungeon.

After many [enjoyable] hours in FotM (lost count of hours, can’t be specific), only 2 of of those dungeon specific crafting item have dropped party wide.

The other materials will set you back between 20 to perhaps 75 gold depending on which tier 6 mat you are looking at. This is for one single Ascended item.

Wonderful. It’s like I’m playing Aion again. Except I can’t even trade with my own party for it.

Would it be so bad to sell these for tokens?

Just got word that you get the ring after you finish fractal level 10 in the bonus chest…

Can anyone confirm?
