Guild Wars 2

I know you can get ascended back item through mystic forge with 50 ecto and 250 t6 material.

But is there anyway to get it without all those ecto and t6 material. I remember reading someone mention all you need is essence of the mist and a fractal relic? How exactly does it work? Or I’m mislead?

“Prototype Fractal Capacitor (Ascended)

Crafted in the Mystic Forge by combining the Prototype Fractal Capacitor of your choice with a Gift of Ascension, Vial of Condensed Mists Essence and either Crystals or Philosopher’s Stones. Using Crystals creates an offensive infusion slot and using Philosopher’s Stones creates a defensive infusion slot". – Wiki

You pick the stat type you want, combine the materials in the MF and turn the exotic into a rare cloak.

Thats the ingame command for the wiki page.
