Guild Wars 2

Why not make them worth 10g in the vendor?

I have a crazy amount of duplicate rings in my bank vault since that is what primarily drops for ascended gear. Salvaging isn’t really a good option, we cannot change their stats and vendoring them for 5s seems silly. Why not allow us to get some value out of them since they are incredibly rare drops?

How do you figure they are incredibly rare drops when you have a crazy amount of them yourself???

Maybe a clue is in the OP’s signature?

Anyways, ascended rings are easy to get and dirt cheap, I think the price reflects this properly.

Question:

Why not make them worth 10g in the vendor?

Answer:

I have a crazy amount of duplicate rings in my bank

So a player gets that rare one in ten thousand drop… an ascended ring… very exciting… oh wait these stats are useless to me… well at least I can… uhmmm… well I guess put it in the bank and maybe use it later. 10k drops later, same ring drops again.

Play WvW for a few thousand hours and you will have a bunch of useless rings as well with nothing really to do with them. Kinda silly to have a rare drop that is effectively worthless. At least with armor and weapons we can change the stats.

This.

We need to be able to change stats on ALL ascended gear, not just weapons and armor and the Bloodstone trinkets.

Good job, OP. Anet will read your thread title and vendors will be selling ascended rings not for 10 pristeen fractal relics, but for 10g each (and fractal relics). Seriously, the way how you write it is very frustrating.

It will never happen, because legendary armor (and I can guarantee legendary ring/etc will appear somewhere in the future).

Please lay off the ridiculous strawmen. It’s relative. Sure, OP may have many ascended rings, but it’s over time and relative, to say, green and blue drops. Ascended rings are not common unless you do certain content like fractals. For people that don’t do them, they don’t show up much. I probably see one like every few months.

Maybe ascended rings shouldn’t vendor for 10g, but vendoring for 5s or whatever they do it as is pretty lame. They aren’t as common as greens I assume. And in terms of potential value, they’re probably worse than rares and exotics that can be salvaged into materials.

Personally, I’d like a forge recipe to convert them, or use them as a crafting component.

It’s always fecking Ettinband.

Rings can also be salvaged into stuff …

Hoarders don’t salvage anything.

But ascended gear drops in wvw are a myth! They NEVER happen just ask everyone who cried about not getting an ascended gear vendor in wvw!
