Guild Wars 2

One of the rewards from the latest living story chapters is the exotic Forgotten Seal accessory. The thing is, it has no upgrade slot, rendering level 80 greens with a jewel upgrade actually better stats than this exotic piece. I’m just wondering if this was a mistake or on purpose, because it makes no sense for it to just NOT have an upgrade slot, unlike pretty much every other accessory in the game. Hopefully Anet fixes this? Because people with level 80 greens and an adequate jewel will have no use for this item.

Oops, sorry, I thought I remembered seeing an upgrade slot on it yesterday. That’s what I get for going by memory.

Edited because my original statement was incorrect

That’s really weird, did you select your stats yet? Because mine certainly has an upgrade slot on it after selecting which stats I wanted.

I selected the stats already. Even according to the GW2 wiki, it does not have an upgrade slot.

Yep, it’s broken. Can’t even be forged with other exotic accesories. At this moment it’s just a waste of inventory space.

Yeah. I kept one as a souvenir, but I just sold all the others.

The lack of an upgrade slot seems to be a bug.
If you check the item id through the API it shows that it should have the an Exquisite Ambrite Jewel in there but it also has the NotUpgradeable flag which is probably preventing that from working.

I really would like to use mine XD

I’m keeping mine in the hope that it’s currently bugged and it will be fixed at some point. I could use it on an alt if that happens.

I suspect that once a fix hits, we have to cycle it through the bank to get it properly set.

Can it be put in the toilet at all? Maybe there’s a specific recipe to upgrade it to something else?
