Guild Wars 2

Hi, returning player here.

I searched the internet, wiki, and forums and can’t seem to find out if I’m able to stat swap ascended gear to the new Thackeray (Seraph) armor stats from Lake Doric. I’m trying to prep for my fire brand in PoF and don’t have a spare piece of armor to try it on. No one has been able to verify that the mystic forge recipe works for Thackeray’s.

If not, are they selectable from HoT stats when you find an armor box / buy one from fractal vendors?

Any help welcome.

Cheers.

Stat swapping requires only that you can get the relevant exotic insignia|inscription, Seraph in this case. As far as the wiki documents, the only source for these is the Quartermaster in Lake Doric. 1250 unbound|25 jade for insignia, double for inscriptions.

I can’t see why it wouldn’t work — the wiki would almost certainly document it if anyone had reported an exception. People usually don’t bother documenting when something follows the same rules as everything else, which would explain why you might not have found “verification” for this one.

If you still want to test this, you don’t actually need a “spare” set, you just need to get the insignia|inscription and see if it appears in the mystic forge. Since you’d need to acquire this at some point, I don’t see the harm in buying one. Worst case, you can ask support to reimburse you.

Thank’s I forgot about how the mystic forge only lets you drag and drop valid recipe items. I was able to get the insignia and anthology of heroes into the mystic forge so looks good!

Good to know! I was hoping you’d come back to confirm (or refute) the recipe. (I don’t have a use for the stat, so I didn’t want to spend precious currency to test.)

Glad it worked out for you.
