ascended armor
Fastest would be crafting
you’ll need crafting lvl 500 in the relevant proffesion
suggestion 1 would be to use a crafted inscription stat for base to craft you armor on if you need vanilla stats (so you need the relevant stat combination unlocked from teh vendor, both the armor pieces as the inscription), downside is the need to buy added recipe’s if you need other stats (mostly preferred for 1st zerk armor, remember zerk is relatively expensive 1 insignia costs ~12-14gold)
suggestion1 avoids the need to restat the whole armor, but you will need to get into the second methos to make something else then zerker armor or acceept you will make each added CRAFTED set be 72-90 gold more expensive…
suggestion 2 would be to use a salvaged inscription stat for base to craft you armor on if you need HoT stats (so you need for example rabid/dire/shamans/cavalier (all ~ 1-1.5 gold stats unlocked and you’ll craft the relevant exotic inscriptions to stat change the armor)lowering the cost somewhat by making sure the ascneded armor piece is crafted cheaper and you could use this method universally on all crafts as you can also give it vanilla stats, at the added cost of 6 inscriptions and the cost of changing the stats (30 ecto, 6 bought insignia’s and the books from miyani)
suggestion 2 avoids:
- the unneccesary need for the exotic AND the ascneded stat recipe’s to be unlocked,
Cheapest would be buying it with raid tokens, but you likely do not have those…
other options
- buy armor from fractals
- buy armor from PvP
- get your envoy I armor in raids
- hope for drops from fractals
- hope for drops from WvW
- hope for drops from PvP

TL;DR a.k.a. Short: Make shaman armor and restat it to what you need; flexible and easy.
