Best way to obtain ascended materials?
Buying the deldrimor straight out would end up having the precursor be more expensive then buying the precursor itself. Grinding the base materials out and buying what leftovers you need is the better way to go about it. Also if you have some nice guildies, as if they can craft the ingots for you, thats what im doing.

I’m on stage 2 for Kudzu and it really is a drag (so was the stage 1 crafting, 20 spiritwood plus 25 elonian squares).
I just do the 3 daily fractal tiers, get about 10g from them, and spend that on elder wood logs, hard wood logs, etc. I should be done with it by next weekend, and it seems a more efficient use of my time as I also get a chance for an ascended item each day.
I think tier 3 of the pre collection is more of the scavenger hunt we seek.
Buying the deldrimor straight out would end up having the precursor be more expensive then buying the precursor itself. Grinding the base materials out and buying what leftovers you need is the better way to go about it.
The only difference between grinding the materials and buying the materials is the 15% TP costs.
If building the precursor is more expensive than buying the precursor, this is the case if you buy or grind materials, as you could also grind materials, sell them and buy the precursor.
I really wonder what the developers thought by making the build-precursors ascended, if you have more effort and a higher price they are absolutely superfluous.

this isnt entirely true. There is a significant cost between the final ascended material (deldrimore) and the total buy cost of the base ingredients. This is due to the timegate. If my spreadsheet is right, the current premium for that timegate is 2.5G for deldrimore.
Now, I think that the timegates on ascended materials have outlived any real usefulness, but its still there and it still means there is a premium on the timegate.

Well the timegates were supposedly placed there mainly to give some value to crafting. It also does other stuff but that was the main purpose. It is still doing that particular job. If stops doing that job then it could probably be discarded.

I know why it was put in and I know its still the case that it puts that value on crafting them, I dont think that is necessary for any real reason.

Hard to say … there have certainly been complaints about the lack of value in leveling crafting but a lot of that also seems to be a result of expectations from other games.

yea, leveling crafting is in a weird place. You need level 500 to do a number of things now, but everything you do between 1 and 500 is mostly irrelevant to what you are doing at level 500. Instead of giving some “value” to having it at 500 through optional daily crafting, what you do between 1-500 should be given some kind of utility to your account as you level up outside of simply having it at 500. Not sure what you could do with that, but I feel like crafting in its current state is a relic of something they wanted to do with crafting but it never came to fruition.
-patiently….
IMHO rushing everything has no use, I’m still slowly crafting new ascneded pieces and mats…. making timegated mats when timers allow, and stacking them up. getting the other mats is a relatively small effort….
23 lvl 80’s, 9 times map, 4ele, 4ncr, 3war, 3grd, 3rgr, 2thf, 2msm, 1eng, 1 rev.

There is a point in time where you have X (to lazy to compute how many you need exactly) ascended materials in your inv/bank. At that time you can either craft a precursor or sell all the material and buy a precursor, the difference is exactly the 15% TP-costs, nothing else. If the marked value of that materials is higher than the marked-value of that precursor, than …
The time-gated difference therefore isn’t really relevant for that issue.
