I am not sure if posting bogus recipes is in any way constructive, even if the OP asked for it.

These threads are never constructive. This is Let’s Figure out Destroyer Scythe 5.0, with exactly as much effort and insight as all previous editions. May as well have fun with it.

Absolutely.

Silly suggestions are absolutely allowed, as well as ones that make more sense and suggestions/evidence/intelligent discussions about real possibilities.

Have fun with it, conspire, provide evidence.

Undiscovered, and somehow not datamined by this point?

Depends on what you are referring to. It might not be possible to datamine combinations. The resulting items can be examined.

And wouldn’t they have slots in the wardrobe? (thus I would guess it’s not a skin)

counterexample . However, all previous forgeables did show up in the wardrobe.

“This article is about an unobtainable ascended greatsword.”

It’s not obtainable, so I wouldn’t expect it to have a spot.
However, I have noticed that things like the Bunny ears do not have empty slots, they only exist in the wardrobe if you already have them.
So it’s not beyond reason there could be other items with no slot until you actually unlock them.
Though I honestly expect the unknown recipes to be stuff like potions or some such.

Hmm… do you think it’s possible that we’ll see this ascended greatsword in HoT, considering that there are a bunch of ascended (datamined) weapons for each elite specialisation? I’m not saying that Belinda’s GS would be given when completing one of the elite spec tracks, but considering that we’ll be seeing possible new methods of acquiring a unique ascended weapon… it’s also a possibility?

I think such a skin would be difficult to add to the game, considering the basic version of the skin is a gem-store item. Adding this flashy version outside of the gem-store would annoy a lot of people.

True, not as bad as the initial Flamekissed armor based on T3 (honestly I didn’t have a problem with that myself, and that original skin was the only one of the 4 that looked good)
But people would certainly complain (some raged about the Lord Taere’s Shadow sword that looks like a small Fellblade with cool purple designs on it) about seeing a “better” (not really imo) version available in game (and boy oh boy would they rage if getting it unlocked the base version!)
I myself kind of expect you have to already have the base version and infuse it to get the infused version, but that’s just IMO.

For the elites it sounds like maxing the Trait line for the elite actually unlocks the new skin, I know at least thats how they said you’d get the wrench hammer skin, I’m guessing the others are similar.

that_shaman (re)unearthed one of the skins I was speculating on. So, here’s a worthless first guess.

Lion Shield:
Eldritch Scroll
50 Orichalcum Shield Bosses
50 Vicious Claws
250 Piles of Silky Sand
