Cheaper 4-stat Ascended Armor Writeup
There is a rumor (a vague prediction, perhaps?) that the 4-stat pieces will be patched to not let you do the Forge conversion from a 3-stat piece, since one of the stat sets already can’t be converted with an exotic insignia. This may be completely unfounded! It may be patched the other way so the odd man out becomes convertible.
But having seen this rumor I intend to complete my conversions today, just in case, even though I may have to buy some things on the TP that haven’t been dropping for me.
I wasn’t aware one of the 4 stats werent convertible.
I dont think it’d be patched so it cant be converted. That would skyrocket demand for flax overnight, and kill any hope of guilds leveling their perks at a reasonable cost. I just dont see their economy dev allowing that.
That rumor, and knowing A-net, is enough to encourage ppl to get it done soon though!
Normally I put no stock in such things. However, I would be really annoyed if I didn’t get my full Marauder Ascended on my Daredevil just because I was waiting for the ebony orbs to drop … so I bought the 11 orbs I didn’t have and now I have done my conversions.
I’m guessing we’ll get a patch tomorrow when the timer runs out on the Shadow Dye Kit sale in Promotions in the Gem Store. Or else we’ll just get more goodies, but no actual patch. Still, it’s a pretty good indication of when things can change, so keep an eye on it if you’re trying to get something done you fear will be patched away.
