Guild Wars 2

New to Infused. I thought I should upgrade from berzerker accessories and a yellow spineguard back item to full infused accessories. Question is: How do I get them the easiest way? Now keep in mind that I said the easiest way and not the fastest.

I have been doing some research. Fotm tokens can buy infused? Now I do not want to do any fotm and that is the reason for me asking this question. My main reason to get infused is for enhanced power, precision and crit damage; road to a full zerk thief. I would love some tips.

I know that I can buy infused for 25 laurels and wvw badges for example. I have 26 and will wait for my main to get to 80 as well to buy them since I can assume it will be soulbound on purchase.

Well, some help would be awesome!

Best,
Fred

Ok. Infused items are always ascended quality.

Basic exotic/rare items cannot usually be made ascended, with a couple exceptions (like the karka shell or capacitor), and accessories and amulets cannot presently be infused.

To infuse a ring, you first need an ascended ring of the desired type, then you place it in the mystic forge with 1 shard, 3 globs, and 5 vials of mist essence. To infuse a backpiece, you need 1 gift of ascension, 1 glob of mist essence, and 250 ectoplasm.

Infused rings can be obtained free if you’re lucky at fractal level 26 of or higher. Ascended gear you buy at a vendor is never infused (Usually… are you sure the WvW ones are pre-infused?)

Don’t confuse “infused” items, with infusions/infusion slots; infused items are items that have an inherent +5 agony resistance built into them and are named like Cufflink of Awesome (Infused), and are only necessary for high level fractals (Beyond level 30 namely), any ascended item can have an infusion added to it, and those infusions are very easily obtained (75 fractal relics for a simple, versatile infusion)
