Guild Wars 2

I already have 3 ascended heavy armor sets and another set of ascended light armor. If I spend my PvP rewards to get mid armor (leather) ascended pieces, would them count to complete the full achievement of ascended armor pieces? Or must I craft every leather piece to get the Mastery point?

I would also like to know this. Anyone buy it yet to see uf it counts?

You both should maybe check out the skins of the armor.

Why? I remember that opening ascendant chest unlocked the skins of the choiced piece but I’m not sure about the achievements; plus, the current PvP had some bugs like the lack of infussion slots. Can someone clear this? I would hate to waste a piece just to do a trial and error test…

Ahhh, if you mean the ascended boxes, then it should. Thought you meant the “new” armor. The boxes I have gotten over the years are pretty much how I finished mine.

lol did anyone get one that they didnt have? also dont want to waste shard.

It shouldn’t count. The crafted/PvE Ascended armours have a completely different skin (Illustrious), which is what counts for the achievement. You don’t have to craft it, as getting armour drops from raids or fractals will count as it’s the same skin. Same goes for purchased ascended boxes.

It doesnt count. Its a different armor skin. The pvp armor isn’t the “illustrious” skin that counts for the achievement.

@Rashy and Nikkinella: thanx you both for the response, makes sense.
