Guild Wars 2

Hi.

I recently acquired a few Ascend weapons by completing the Specialization Weapon Quests.

Unfortunately not all of the weapons I’ve collected had the stats I was after.

If I were to salvage them, would I acquire Greater or Lesser Vision Crystals which i could use to make other Ascend weapons/ gear.

I don’t have much experience salvaging ascend weapons, only rings, etc…

On the other hand, would it be wiser to just chuck them into the mystic forge and change their stats that way?

Change the stats with the mystic forge.

Salvaging ascended weapons will only return the vision crystal and a ball of dark energy. You lose all the other mats, which is where 99% of the cost lies. The only reason you’d ever salvage an ascended is to get the ball of dark energy for your HoT legendaries.

thanks, i really appreciate the help

Btw, don’t put any valuable sigils or infusions on your current weapons. The mystic forge resets the item to a vanilla ascended skin and destroys any upgrades.
