Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen reference to this a few times in other threads not specific to the concept, so I figured I’d ask. (If I have missed any in my searches I do apologize.)

Does anyone know if there’s any intent (or mention of it with HOT) to add the new stat combinations like Zealot or Sinister to dungeon runs in a similar manner to what they did with dire gear? Right now they appear to be craft only. And of course out of my own selfishness, and the fact that I’m not super pumped about crafting, I was hoping there was some talk of other ways to obtain them in the future.

Given that Sinister is time gated like Celestial because of the need for Charged quartz, I highly doubt it

You can buy the charged Amber and bypass the time gate.

Well I’ve heard no mentioning concerning dungeons and their respective drops.

Zealots (Keeper’s)(power/precision/healing power) is based on sprockets, and they cost quite a lot, but aren’t timegated, and just for sale at the BLTP

Celestial (Wup-Wup)(all stats) is fully dependant on Charged quartz crystals, which are account bound and timegated. So not available at the BLTP, the base material for charged quartz crystals , being quartz crystals are available at the BLTP.

Nomads (Ventari)(toughness/vitality/healing power) is dependant on ambrite sheets and not timegated, the ambrite should be avaialble on the BLTP

Sinister (Vearata)(condition damage/power/precision) is dependant on charged ambrite and timegated due to the charged quartz crystals, but the charged ambrite are for sale at the BLTP as they are not account bound.

Neither the celestial, zealot, nomads or sinister insignias and inscriptions are available on the TP, All being account bound.
Nor are the Wup-Wup, Keeper, Ventari or Verata insignias and inscriptions.

However the armor and weapon recipe’s are available on the trading post for all stats listed above, as are the Celestial, Zealot’s and keepers insignia and inscription recipe’s.
The other recipe’s are available from the Master Craftman (Wup-Wup) or from drytop and silverwastes gameplay (Nomads/Sinister and Keeper and Verata’s Insignia & Inscriptions)

Be aware though that Keeper’s recipe’s are EXTREMELY expensive (for a full set of ascended zealot’s heavy ARMOR you should expect to pay as much as a legendary! (2300 gold for the recipe’s and 400-600 gold for the armor itself))

Thanks for the detailed information. Most of it was what I was a little afraid of. Zealot gear was my goal, just for exotics. I wanted a full set for a Beast Master ranger build I was going to try out. (Points down the pet tree with Zealot gear and other healing sources to try and increase pet uptime, along with melee damage and might and fury buff stacking. It’d never win prizes but I thought it could be a fun build overall.)

But yeah I’ll just try and figure out a mixed stat build that equatable instead. I saw the expense, in addition to my finding crafting very dull (I still need to get 400 armorsmithing on another guy to make my gift of blades for my ascended back gear. Yes its been that long) and so was hopeful we’d heard something.

@Others: thank you for answering as well. I appreciate the feedback.

@any dev that might happen upon this in the forum (queue laughter): There’s an idea guys. More stat avaialability. Eh? wink wink, nudge nudge. Yeah you can ignore me. And thanks for a great game. =P
