Guild Wars 2

besides the ascended ring u can get from chests, does doing WvW reward you with the materials or stuff needed to get ascended armor? basically is there a point to WvW’ing if u want to get ascended armor or r u forced to PvE to get it

Dragonite Ore is the only thing worth doing WvW for. Everything else is much better done elsewhere like Dungeons or Fractals or Champ Training.

You can do anything to earn ascended armor. Because to get ascended armor all you need is gold. And pretty much all the currency can be converted to gold.

But the difference is some activity earns you gold much faster.

You can solo supply camps and they drop Emp Shards

ascended armor cannot be bought from trading post so i am assuming u mean buying all the materials with gold? so ur saying all the ascended armor materials can be bought from trading post?

(btw i am referring to entire ascended armor set not just a piece or two)

WvW is perfectly fine for gathering the mats as long as towers and keeps are being taken.

In EOTM at least, empyreal fragments drop from any champ chest at any keep, tower etc – I find you can obtain quite a lot very quickly in this area.

If you want loot, don’t do wvw. Outside of a glorified karma train with the enemy (like a champ train), you won’t make any money.

Pretty much. You need gold, karma, dragonite ore, empyreal fragment, pile of bloodstone dust, skill points. Everything can be earned in wvw.

It’s just much faster if you spend some time outside of wvw.

Getting ascended gear take a while even for people dedicated to farm it fast. It’ll take much longer if you just play normally.
