Q:
How do I get ascended items?
A:
Well I crafted my backpiece. Now I’m gathering ectos to make an infused version of it. Rings drop from lvl 10+ fractals.
I believe this link can help you for the recipes and the ways to get ascended items.

Not sure about that, haven’t been able to get myself to grind enough Fractals.
However the Ascended “essence” which is used to craft Ascended gear (at least the back slot item) is an extremely rare, RNG drop from Fractals. This item can drop off any random enemy in the dungeon. After acquiring this Ascended crafting material (account or soulbound, can’t remember which), the recipe to actually craft the Ascended gear requires a very large amount of T6 materials. The materials for this recipe will probably not cost you over 100 gold per Ascended piece.
Short answer: simply a whole lot of grinding and player wealth that would otherwise be going to cool looking skins.
I’ve only heard about fractals atm, but they do intend to put in other methods later and have publically apologized for only releasing 1 method. They said all future gear will be released with multiple attainment paths at one time, and that they jumped the gun here.
currently the only way is through a innumerable amount of fractual dungeon runs.

This should explain enough
I heard you can get Ascended items by completing/holding all of the Cathedral event on Orr. Once they’re all open, at the same time, we all Ascend to some other game.
Haha I got one on my second run. Now just a couple months of farming for crafting materials.
