Guild Wars 2

Hello to you all,
I purchased HoT, back in July when it was on sale.. Since then I get a cple hours a nite of gametime after a LOOONG day of work so my game time is small except for the weekends.
My basic info to help with my questions..

I have been level 80 for a cple weeks (leveled up in open world content, cple fractals at lvl 30ish, and Crafting.)
Class: Warrior
Condi: Sword/torch, LB.
In Process of making Exotic Sinister Set
Armorsmithing (close to 400). Weaponsmithing (approx 175?)
have recipes for Sinister Exotic, and the insignia from Silverwastes.
Starting to build up various currencies from the HoT zones (Mainly VB and AB)
Working on unlocking masteries (Have Gliding some Itzel Lore)
Still currently in process of HoT story line

So with that Said…
I am interesting in starting to acquire ascended Trinkets / Items to be able to start doing higher end Fractals, dungeons etc..
I do not know where to start for beginner stages of this process.. Yes i have been reading the Wiki for cple weeks now.. so many different ones with SOOO many different ways…
But as many know.. its better from a players view that has knowledge, ideas, and or options of what would be considered easier, smarter, or just the right way to go about this process.. So if any of you that would have a good suggestion on where to start my adventure of acquiring ascended trinkets (at least to start building up this AR thing) so that i may be able to further experience GW2 at a higher degree then my current gaming, would be greatly appreciated..

Thank you in advance for any and suggestions and comments

you can get them from other sources but these are the best place to get them from

Amulet=Laurel Vendor
Accessories=Guild Commendation Vendor
Rings=Fractals with pristine relics
Back item=Bloodstone Fen

When picking gear ascended gear is unique which means you can only have one of each equipped. They can have the same stats just have to be diffent names.

If you like grinding there is Bloodstone Fen were you can get ascended ring, amulet and back item.

Remember that amulets can no longer accept AR infusions, so you can leave those off your shopping list for time being.

You can get cheap trinkets by doing the HoT story achievements. They are fairly straight forward, except for the final chapter (i.e the Migraine achievement).

If you’re looking for ascended sinister trinkets to match your armor, those can only be obtained if you have LS2.

Imo for ascended sinister or (even better) viper, bloodstone fen is the way to go for backpiece/rings/amulet. Aiming to complete the bsf map dailies (and maybe mine some bloodstone nodes or do some boss) should not take too much of your time and should give you an ascended every week or less, depending on the time you invest.

For accessories the options are limited atm.All kind of accessories are available through raids (viper and sinister included). Besides that, sinister is only available via doing the LS2 achievements which takes a lot of time to get and probably money too if you don’t have ls2 unlocked. The alternative is aiming for suboptimal stats like rampager/rabid from commendation vendor.
There is also the hope of asc accessories with the new stats being added with the new map in 2 weeks or so, which is not entirely impossible

as a sidenote, the lvl78 exotic backpacks from crafting disciplines come with 1 infusion slot, that could help you with managing your AR till you get an ascended infused backpiece
