Fastest way to aquire ascended gear?
If you play WvW a lot and are sitting on tons of badges I would recommend buying your ascended stuff there. You can save some laurels but have to spend a lot of badges.
Otherwise I can only say daylies, monthlies and achievement points… There is no other way than that.
Okay, how the things looks with fractals?
There you can only get rings and buy the backpeace. The Rings drop from daily chest starting from Fractals 10+ but as a possible bonus only… If you run a lot of Fractals you can hope that the right stats once drop. But as you asked for a fast way I would tend on buying them…

This was changed in that the daily bonus chests for Fractals 10+ now award a guaranteed Pristine Fractal Relic. You can trade 10 Pristine Fractal Relics for a ring of your choice. If you’re experienced and have a decent group, I’d suggest doing daily 10+ runs. (Possibly could PUG one too, though results may be more mixed.)
Also, you can get Ascended accessories (earring slots) for 12 Guild Commendations an 5 gold each. If you’re not in a guild that does guild missions, there are alliance guilds formed to help people get them. Commendation [GC] is one of them for NA, based on Tarnished Coast.
