Guild Wars 2

So I have several ascended armor items on my Ranger that I got from PvP but now I’m considering playing a new class as my main. From what I understand, I can’t earn more armor from PvP so it’s back to the traditional crafting them. Is this correct or can you change the armor type (medium to light) like you can change the stats?

Thanks!

No, but next season you can get the next set

you cannot get anymore ascended armor from pvp this season (1200 ascended shards = 5 armor pieces)

You def cant change any ascended armor from heavy to med or light or vice versa. AFAIK you cannot even change stats in mystic forge. (pvp armor)

Thanks for the info everyone! I kind of figured as much but wanted to check. I just HATE crafting ascended armor…

Oh, and I asked a GM about changing the stats on a pair of PvP ascended boots I got and via a trouble ticket, asked me to delete the ones I had and they would send me a new version. Pretty amazing service there! Apparently, there is a bug in the PvP armor that makes it so you can’t change the stats.

Nice! In over 2 years of playing ive NEVER EVER not even once received a reply from support after putting in a ticket via in game support.

Something is very, very wrong there. Do you get the automated responses? Because, every time I have asked about some problem I got a response. Maybe not a “we fixed it”, but still, a response from a person.

Yeah… I’ve never used the in-game support. I just went to the website under my account and then submitted a ticket that way. I think it took about 2 days, almost 3 and everything was fixed. The new boots even come with that fresh “right from the devs hands” smell to them.

This is true and I really hope Anet will fix that. I just bought a full set of light armor from the PvP vendor with the intention to change the stats to Viper in the Mystic Forge for my necro/reaper, only to find out the MF recipe doesn’t work on this set…

I feel kinda screwed now and I really hope Anet will fix this.

isn’t Viper one of the stats you can choose for the Armor? Why do you need the mystic forge or did you choose the wrong stats?

Indeed it is an option. I bought the last 3 pieces of armor I needed to finish my light set on my necro and Viper is what she runs. I also upgraded a couple of my weapons to ascended this way (again, Viper’s stats).

I believe all stat options are available to choose from, so I’m assuming they just misclicked?
