Guild Wars 2

ANet states that they’ll be upgrading the current legendary weapons to match Ascended weapon stats.

So what happens to other weapons created in the Mystic Forge, many of which have material requirements equal to or higher than legendaries? Will they be upgraded as well?

You use them the same way you used them till now. For the looks…aka for the skin. If you wanted just an exotic weapon you coud get one for 1/100th of the price of the Mystic Forge recipes.

So acquire an Ascended weapon and if you don’t like the look, transmute it to your previous look. I am sorry but I thought this is pretty straightforward.

Pretty much how the rare cultural armor works.

Computer says no…

…but seriously, no idea. I’d like to see it, but somehow I doubt it. For that matter, all dungeon rewards from the current dungeons are now useless too. Guess insteado f several dungeons, you can now only do 1 dungeon for max gear.

Current legendaries will be automatically updated in terms of stats. No needing to grind out a new weapon to get enhanced stats.

I’m asking if they’ll also upgrade other weapons as well, especially those that cost as much or more than legendaries.

Those other weapons are exotics and might have the same or a bit more money requirement than legendaries…but certainly do not have the requirements a legendary has (1.2 million karma, world completion etc) even if you do these just for your own sake.

So no they won’t be upgraded.
