Guild Wars 2

So I did my daily level 10 fractal run tonight and was happy to see that I received a ring out of the daily chest. I went to equip it only to realize that it was the same ring that I already had which is tagged as unique. Perhaps a code should have been put in the game that doesn’t allow you to receive unique items that you already have in your possession.

That code would help to a point. But what happens when you have rings for all your characters ?
Or you want the same ring on two characters ?

It’s a better idea to just get rid of bind on pickup on RNG loot so you can sell the ring you found, then go buy the ring you want.

Happens all the time in mmos prob also soulbound and the only thing you can do with it is sell to a vendor for whatever you can get. Not really a issue.

Hi, I just wanted to add my two cents here. The significance of the “unique” aspect of ascended gear is not commonly known information: it is not explained by hovering over the items, it has not been explained in any detail by ANet, and it was never directly discussed with players either via in-game or out-of-game mail. I myself just wasted 35 laurels (five weeks worth of daily farming) for the purpose of acquiring two of the same rings; this is because I wanted two defensive infusion slots, and it seems unfair to penalize players for wanting to play the game a certain way. It is also unfair to implement certain gear restrictions on players without making this information widely known. I do not understand why we cannot equip two of the same item, and I really think the “unique restriction” should be lifted. ASAP.

You can have two defensive infusions now but getting the second infusion cost significantly more on the second item. You just need to make a Omni infusion for the offensive slot ring.

So you got a ring that wasn’t the one you needed so it is fail? and now we have people suggesting they take away “account bound” rings?

I have 50 rings sitting in my bank. most are infused already and all of them are just of no use to me. I would never spend laurels on a ring EVER and have enough sets of rings for more then 16 Alternative characters in the type of ring STAT i want. Shards,Globs,Vials,FOTM Relics are just stacking up and are of no use. hehe

I have doubles triples and quad-ripples of the same rings no big deal really. lol

I dont mind letting people sell the rings (and back) because i dont do fractals and have a lot of gold. :p

But if you do that you will lose your “advantage” over us non-fractal players. Your poison.

No, that kind of code isn’t needed. What if I want that same ring on multiple characters?

The whole point of the unique rings is that min-maxing your stats would require 100 passion flowers for a versatile infusion. This tiers up the gear progression:
1/ Exotic
2/ ascended + versatile simple infusions
3/ ascended + 1 defensive + 1 offensive infusion. Probably one stat isn’t 100% perfect for you
4/ ascended + 2 identical infusions. Perfect min-max. Requires 1 versatile

I don’t think that’s bad. The RNG however can/should be worked with.

If you upgrade one of the rings to the Infused version, then you can wear them both since technically they are not the same anymore. Each ring has two version, Infused and Regular. Remember, you are upgrading the ring to have an inherent +5 agony resistance, you are not infusing it with a stat infusion. But you will need 5 vials, 3 globes, and 1 shard to upgrade the ring to Infused status.
