Guild Wars 2

Can we please get a way to obtain these recipes added into the game?

Currently the only way to obtain these and I’m sure there are other stat pools that fall into this abyss.

Is to break the rules of physics and travel through time back to redo the living story season 1 content or buy one of the few antiques left from the past, that are priced to reflect this impossibility for 1000s of gold per set off the AH.

Now as I am not Asuran or part of the 1% these options are closed to me.
I unfortunately broke my bank and sunk my many years of farming gold and materials into crafting a set of ascended insignia before realising that my choice of stat pool was being discriminated against.

Unlike the other pre hot stats I couldn’t simply buy my recipes from a merchant for a few gold and laurels to craft the Ascended armour set I had worked so hard for.
Instead I just have a bank slot filled with regret.

I understand the need to maintain rarity but stat pools should never be subject to this and definitely not to this extreme level.
With the introduction of stat swapping this also became completely redundant as you can simply make a different set of ascended gear and change it to Keeper’s (The way I wish I did it now).

So I believe this must be an oversight and with such an easy fix (adding the recipes to the ascended merchant or Pact supply agents) I hope this is corrected as soon as possible.

Just craft another stat set, and change the stats to keeper with an exotic insignia/inscription on the tp, you dont need the asc recipes.

Along with what Wanze said:

While not entirely reliable, they did introduce a means to get Zealot recipes again.

So as time goes on, the prices will drop.

The problem for me personally is that I crafted the ascended insignia not realising that the recipes were unobtainable to craft the actual armour pieces.
So stat swapping is not an option meaning I have some very expensive paperweights.
As time goes on, the prices wont drop as the ascended recipes, unlike the exotic are not available and will eventually become extinct.

The problem for the game is that stat sets should not be rare only available to the rich.

Sell the crafted insignias? Then craft some exotic insignias, get any other Ascended armor, and stat-swap.

That’s what I did. I was sitting on Exotics until they added stat swapping because I knew I’d never be able to get the ascended recipies.

They are Account bound

I’m guessing the recipes for the Keeper’s items ARE available from the Pact Supply Agents via that BS RNG page, just that no one has seen them yet (or perhaps more likely, no one has bothered to update the Wiki with that information). I mean, said wiki is still missing half the exotic Zealots recipes even, so it seems feasible that the Ascended ones could be in there and just exceedingly rare to the point where the info hasn’t made it to the Wiki yet.

If they actually aren’t available through that avenue, though, then I agree that they need to be. And even if they are, they shouldn’t be so darned rare. Its a RECIPE for an ascended item, not the item itself even, so there’s no reason for it to be so ridiculous.
