Guild Wars 2

Hello there! I need to get a set of ascended gear for my WvW guild, I’ve been putting it off for a year or so (mainly because I detest crafting). And I just now noticed that if you complete the Legendary Armor collection (as it stands now) you get a set of ascended gear. Or do I?

Is it possible to get a full set of ascended armor by doing the raids along with HoT content? And do you guys think this is a viable way? I really do not want to craft it :/

Thanks in advance!

Currently, only 2/3 of the collection for the precursor is available and the final part supposedly to be released with wing three. The collection at the moment requires at least one kill of each boss in wing 1 and 2, some weekly rng chances and may take a while to complete – especially if you don’t have a static team.

It is possible to get a full ascended armor set without crafting. I have a full set of ascended light armor and I don’t have a character with 500 tailoring. Now there are different ways to obtain ascended armor pieces

1) daily tier fractal daily’s:
I don’t know frome wich tier they start dropping but the highest chance of an ascended box dropping is tier 4. But this would be a bad choice because you actually need ascended armor/trinktes to have enough AR to play tier 4 fractals.

2) raids. You can get ascended armor drops frome killing bosses. Also when you do raids you get a currency. With that currency you can BUY ascended armor. It isn’t a fast way. But you don’t need to craft. This will be difficult tobecause you will need to have the right build and most groops want you to ping your gear and most of them won’t be happy seeing exotic armor.

3) WvW rank up chest. But there extremely rare. I’m around rank 1400 and If my memory is right I had 1 ascended armo box dropping frome them.

I don’t know this for sure. But there could also be a chance of ascended armor dropping frome guild mission rewards. But again. I’m not sure of this.

I think the easiest way is to craft your ascended armor. Because if you choose a another way doing it the ‘easy’ way you need ascended armor for those methods too. If you don’t do tier 4 fractals I don’t think its worth it trying to get a full ascended set frome fractals. and for raids. Chances are big you won’t find many groops willing to take you along. You don’t have ascended armor and you are new to raids so you don’t know the boss mechanics.
