Returning player. sPvP and Ascended items?
No, it’s not viable to farm it in spvp, since you get random ( and mostly useless) stats, the drop rate is decent but still too low to get full set of particular stats in a resonable timeframe. Though you do get dragonite and and empyreal fragments from tracks so you may skip some dungeon/world boss farming when you craft.

The drop rate is far from decent. I’ve gotten one ascended item since the april 15th patch and I play spvp about 10-20 hours a week.
it depends on your luck of course. however, since magic find has an effect on pvp chests it’s more probable to get something valuable out of them.
maybe i’m (casual r50ish, teamq player far away from any kind of leaderboard) just lucky, but after finishing several tracks i got 7 ascended armor and one weapon box.
so, no. it’s not that you can farm any kind of ascended gear there, but if you play regularly you’ll probably get your hands on some every now and then.
I open chests at 300% MF, I have not gotten a single Ascended armor since april 15th.
I got 3 rings though.. :/ too bad rings don’t have skins.

Are you kidding me? It’s crap like this that makes people believe there is a lucky/unlucky account flag.
I’m r80, present on both leaderboards, finished 8 reward tracks, opened chests with 230-240% MF and all I got is two ascended rings.
That’s the thing I hate the most about this game, the RNG bullpoop. I can play a thousand more games and not get asc armor, while somebody else can run around hotjoin and get it…
it’s the same as WvW rank chests
I’ve only gotten one from spvp since april 15
I have got 4 since April though I have played quite a lot. Also I have received several rings and you can also farm the ascended mats from spvp now.
