Guild Wars 2

We know for a fact legendaries will have ascended weapon stats when ascended weapons come out. What about rarer exotic gears (eg. Abyssal Scepter)? They typically require hundreds of gold to make which more than justifies the extra few stats which we’d presumably get. Has there been anything said that these items would be promoted to ascended tier?

Transmute them to new weapon and tadaaa, you got your expencive skin and new best stats.

That’s what I’ve been thinking, although other factors such as getting the ascended weapon would have to be taken into account.

I find it unlikely.

The whole reason they brought Ascended in in the fist place was because of ‘progression’. Automatically upgrading the fancy Exotics defeats the entire purpose of introducing Ascended in the first place.

They made Triforge upgradable.

They did?

They upgraded it, or is it a recipe?

It’s a recipe. Basically free.

A bit of both. You take the original Triforge, throw in some relatively cheap material along with it into the Mystic Forge and it spits out an ascended Triforge.

They should upgrade them IMO. Corrupted weapons for example, need lots of lodestones thus requiring a large commitment to make. I’ve only recived 5 fine transmutation stones in 600 hrs of game time, so cash shop is the only option if I want to keep using the skin on ascended.

Ahh. In which case, they may do the same with fancy Exotics, rather than just upgrade them.
