Guild Wars 2

Hello there

Can anyone confirm if and when we will get viable options to get Ascended armour through World vs. World? Increase drop rate from kills? Allow us to use badges and convert our piles of Bloodstone & Empyreal? No laurels (please)?

Personally… I only do small scale WvW and get ~300 badges a week when I play a proper amount of time. I have 1k+ bloodstone and empyreal sitting in bank, but only 1 full stack of dragonite. Crafting is really not an option, WvW doesn’t give you 2g50/hour especially when doing small scale (yesterday 2 hours > 1 gold.

So what about this:

• 50 empyreal + 50 bloodstone + 25 badges = 100 dragonite (let us convert)
• Gift of Ascension = 5k WXP + 50 badges
• 1 weapon component = 25 bloodstone, 25 empyreal, 25 dragonite
• 1 armour component = 25 bloodstone, 25 empyreal, 25 dragonite
• 2 components + gift of ascension = upgrade one Exotic armour/weapon piece to Ascended quality

> Upgrading a full exotic armour set to ascended will require 6 gifts and 2 armour components per piece.
= 30k WXP, 300 badges, 300 dragonite, 300 empyreal, 300 bloodstone. If you get the dragonite by converting that would be 150 empyreal, 150 bloodstone and 75 badges extra. And then you would have upgraded one exotic set.

Seems rather fair to the PvErs since it’s way harder to get mats in WvW.
