Crafting forum? Looking for ascended guide

If you want to see comparisons of cost between premade materials and scratch
You don’t see a lot of crafting forums because it’s sort of a one and done sort of deal after your first set. I’ve maxed out all my craftings out of boredom, but I honestly could have supplied my self with ascended gear from fractals and raids.

There hasn’t been any change in the crafting of ascended weapons besides the addition of the HoT stats.
Armors had their leather requirements (for inscriptions) increased last year, so older guides may be out of date.
Btw, if the weapon you’re looking at is one of the elite spec weapons (GS, staff, shield, warhorn, torch, hammer, longbow) and you have the appropriate class; it’s cheaper to get your weapon via the collection and use the MF to get the stat you want.
The biggest unexpected hitch that I saw when crafting ascended armor, was the acquisition of enough bloodstone dust, empyreal fragments and dragonite ore to craft the vision crystals (normal and lesser) you will need since you can’t simply buy it. You need 1500 of each for a full armor set and while I didn’t have a problem with bloodstone dust even before LS 3, I didn’t collect the other two anywhere near as fast. That’s probably because of what events I participate in regularly but I had around 11,000 bloodstone dust but under 4000 of either of the other two. I nearly hosted myself by feeding Princess before I realized how much I needed dragonite ore.
The primary ascended mats you need can be bought (expensive) or crafted (time-gated but slightly less expensive). Ascended recipes cost gold and laurels and Augur’s stones that are needed to craft vision crystals cost spirit shards.
We are heroes. This is what we do!
