Help With Ascended Crafting
For viper…2) by a long way imo
of course, if you have the mats to make fulgurite, then I’d suggest using both methods

That is what I had figured.
Is there a new method of collecting gold quickly? The last time I needed to farm gold was before HoT so I’m not sure if things have changed or not.
I only ever farmed mats to make stuff not to sell, so couldn’t tell you the best way to make gold. HoT will def have changed things though, what with new materials from the jungle and easier to obtain mats from map rewards.
Here the difference between each method.
If you are crafting Viper directly. It will cost you 18 Fulgurites, 1 Yassir Recipe that cost 600 Aurillium and about 1.2 Gold for 6 Recipe for the armor.
While crafting a cheaper recipe and transferring them to Viper will cost you 6 Cheap exotic insignia, 18 gold + 30 Laurel for 6 Recipe for the armor and 6 Ectos.
Basically, if you craft for exemple a zerker armor that you transform into Viper after, it will cost you about 40 more gold, but you will save on Account bound material like Fulgurite and aurillium.
If you buy the Jeweler Damask Patch inteasd of crafting your fulgurite, then the first option is now about 200 gold more than the second one, so that’s never worth it.
Of course if you decide to craft a zerker armor and then transfer it into viper, you gonna already have the recipe if you want to make a second Zerker armor for another character. Saving you more gold.
It really depend on your situation. I wanted to craft HOPE so I didn’t have fulgurite to waste and I already had made a zerker armor for my thief and I had 2 ascended armor box, so for me it was crearly the second option the best. But if you will never use fulgurite, you plan on only crafting this ascended armor and you like doing AB so aurillium isn’t a problem then the first option might be better for you.
For Gold. Gathering Iron, Flax, Platinum and Potatoes are a good way to make gold. Crafting ascended material and selling them is also a good way.
Just a heads up, the mystic forge may not accept all new insignias. For instance, there was a problem with trailblazers that has since been fixed, but took months to correct. If you chose the MF path, first make sure 1 insignia/inscription is accepted in the mystic forge before you go through the process of getting 6 for armor or 2-4 for weapons.
From what I read, of the new stats, trailblazers was the only one that had this issue, but I didn’t research other types further.
[HaHa] Hazardous Hallucination
I have successfully MF vipers on weapons and I know others have on the armour.

It works for Viper stats. I recently converted my Reaper’s ascended gear to Viper’s for Raid purposes and did not run into this bug. Logically I would think that they’d check the other new stat recipes as well, when finding out there’s a problem with one of them. I can only speak with certainty about Viper stats, though, since I haven’t used any of the other stat recipes in the Mystic Forge, yet.
