New consumables called Essence of Luck (different rarity levels – purple, blue etc) that you will get from salvaging blues, greens, and globs of ectoplasm. You can consume these Essence of Luck to add to your luck bar which will increase your account wide magic find when the bar is full
All existing players, to make up for the removal of magic find gear, will be rewarded with purple Essence of Luck that will give you 20% Magic Find by default.
Weapons, armor and trinkets with magic find will become account bound, lose their current stats and will gain the ability to be double-clicked to select one of several stat options depending on the item.
Ascended Weapons
It will take 2 weeks to craft an Ascended weapon
Crafting is not the only way to get Ascended Weapons! Anywhere you can get an Ascended Material drop or an Ascended item drop there is also a rare chance that you will get an Ascended Weapon chest that allows you to choose which weapon type you want from within a stat combo
Added new Exotic Inscriptions to the salvage tables on all non-crafted Exotic weapons and to drops where applicable
Raw materials for Ascended crafting will come from Champion loot bags, temples in Orr, Megabosses, keeps/castles/camps in WvW, from salvaging exotics, and purchased for skill points
Crafted ascended weapons are account bound and soul bound on use. This allow you to craft them on any character on your account.
Ascended weapons will have upgrade slot, and offensive infusion slots. 2handers will have two offensive infusion slots.
Different colored sets depends on the stats you crafted.
Revamped Legendary effects
You can select stats anytime out of combat, on the fly, making legendaries extremely versatile.
Most of the legendaries are updated to have bigger footsteps and flashier effects.
No change to Twilight/Sunrise/Flameseeker Prophecies/Rodgort – we felt they were awesome already.
I would just like to thank you Dulfy for all of your hard work you really do this game a service to bridge the gap of things I often time feel A-net leaves out or just does not seem to make clear on just what they mean.
Anywho thank you!
“The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.”
Thanks for the summary! I read the blogpost but you review much more of the important details of the new system. Much obliged from someone who missed the Livestream.
