Guild Wars 2

4-stat trinkets, are they -locked- behind raid drop/ or(raid) currency-use?

I’ve been working on Wanderer’s / Ruka’s gear with the 4-stat combo
I’ve done this through transmuting
I got the recipe for exotic insignia with the Crystaline ore

I did this without having to do raids, I’m just wondering, if say I wanted to continue on into trinkets maybe doing some of them as the same stat Do I NEED to jump into trying raids?

Just as an example – " Talisman of Holt " (wiki Talisman of Holt) is an asended amulet with some of the 4 stat combos,
Aquisition:
1. Sabetha’s Chest ((Raid Reward))
or. . . Sold by: Scholar Glenna for 250 Magnetite Shard, Which is the currency earned in raids.

== Is there another way I'm missing for obtaining the new 4-stat combo trinkets? ==

will there be some sort of transmute for ascended trinkets?

Dev had said that it will be another way to have them through living story 3 i think…

Oh the joy…

The reward system is wearing me thin. What needs to happen is offer things in many parts of the game so players can play what they like.

That’s whats coming in season 3

A few of them are available outside of raids I think. Otherwise ya you are limited to raids or the exotic versions. Funny enough, one character I made I specifically wanted the exotic version of wanderers anyhow so I could put platinum doubloons on them.

It’s how the paywall fence works with HoT. On one hand it keeps those filthy F2P and core-only players out cause they didn’t pay. On the other hand its a fence that keeps you trapped inside if you want to make progress or get anything new. I really think this is a large part of why HoT feels so small; players have been stuck in SilverWastes 2.0 for months.

Literally no point on this post made sense… silverwasting wouldn’t help you get anything discussed in this thread.

Do raids now, or wait for LS3 and get them how you got pink Sinisters gear

The was that because Anet has to cordon off the new paid content from those who didn’t pay for it, limits HoTs play style and how players can make in game progress, including the acquisition of new statsets and gear. In the core game it could be in a collection spreadout over content, craftable, purchase off the TP, etc etc. But with anything it has to be acquirable by a means only available to those that bought the expac. So everything in HoT has to be: account bound, and purchased with map currency. Which is similar (but much more extreme) to the impementation of the silverwastes (accountbound items, even food, purchase with geodes).
