end game gear
craft, fractals.
Thanks you.
There are various dungons located around Tyria that you can do in 5 player teams. The first time you play a dungeon, you do so in ‘Story Mode.’ This mode gives you the storyline for the dungeon and lets you play through it to receive moderate gold/loot rewards.
After you beat a dungeon in Story Mode, you then have the option to again team up with 5 people and play the dungeon in Explorable Mode. Explorable Mode has 3 paths to pick from and completing each path gives you a reward of 60 Tokens from that dungeon. If you do all 3 in a day you’ll get 180 Tokens. You can take these tokens to Lions Arch and exchange them for level 80 Exotic Weapons and Armor. That’s the ‘free’ way to do it. You will also make gold doing these runs and can use that to buy exotic rings, accessories, etc from the Trade Post. You can also improve your accessories with Ascended Gear using Laurels that are gained from Daily/Monthly.
Crafting is also an option, you can take Armorsmithing or Weaponsmithing and make your own gear if you wish. The downside of this is that it seems to require a lot of grinding for materials and it’s more fun to just do the dungeons instead.
If you have specific questions, feel free to ask.
For the moment, all exotic gear has the same stats. That goes for the things you can craft, the things you can buy, and the things you can earn through Dungeons. Even Legendary gear currently has the same stats as Exotics.
I understand with the introduction of Ascended gear, they will be upping the stats to be higher than Exotic (along with Legendaries), but that hasn’t happened quite yet. So, speaking strictly on current-state, once you have all Exotic gear, there’s nothing else to aim for besides skins (if you’re one of those people).
Endgame exotics and ascended gear can be acquired via:
Karma vendors in Orr (exotics)
Crafting (exotics)
Fractals of the Mists dungeons (ascended back pieces & rings)
Regular exploratory dungeons throughout Tyria (exotics)
Daily and monthly laurels (ascended rings & amulets).
Of course, you can also buy your exotics from the TP if you have some coin to work with. There are various ways in the game to make money if you want more, such as running dungeons and farming in Orr.

Fixed for you.
I just wanted a AAA MMO with no sub made by ArenaNet. And it’s awesome.”
Also, you can craft rings and amulets in addition to earrings, though most folks are going to spring for the ascended items of these, I’m guessing.
I’m pretty sure there are now exotic accessory merchants in Orr for karma as well.
Edit: Mackdose I have no clue what you think you fixed- you can only wear one amulet. If you’re talking about the Triforge that’s a pretty unnecessary amount of work for most people.

It’s still an option that wasn’t there previously. You don’t have to go for laurels to get an ascended amulet… if you don’t mind farming for a triforge.
