Guild Wars 2

So as a new player i’m lacking a bit of the gear for WvWvW.

I’ve heard that ascended gear should be the best. I also found the vendor, but it seems he only sells amulets/rings/trinkets etc and such stuff but not armor(as in chest, legs, hands) or weapons.
So my question is:

Where do you get the BiS gear for WvWvW?

Also have do you obtain Globs of Ectoplasm to buy stuff?

If possible I would like to be told more in details on how to obtain it, because I have not play for around 1 year.

Ascended gear is crafted or from chest drops, both account bound. Globs you buy off the TP or salvage rare level items.

For the time being with you just coming back, I would craft Exotic gear/weap for your class and run that until you can do Ascended.

if you have a lot of karma banked from when you played before (or you have a lot of WvW badges from achievements) you can also buy exotic gear that’s good for WvW.

the specific stats you would want depend on your class, your personal playstyle, and also to some extent your server’s playstyle (some servers favor zergs with Berserker gear, others favor Soldier’s / Invader’s instead).

in general, I’d say you can’t go wrong starting with Soldier/Invader (power toughness vitality) then make adjustments from there. you can buy this gear in your home borderland using badges, or you can buy it for many of your equipment slots (but not all, iirc) in Orr using karma (but to do this you need to have particular temples unlocked).

I didn’t suggest this due to it not helping to get closer to crafting Ascended gear/weapons.

good point.

also, in order to get some of the ascended jewelry items, you will need laurels. if you don’t want to PvE to get them, make it a point to do the daily achievements every day (and the monthlies too, if you can manage it). I have over 400 laurels banked at this point from consistently doing dailies and monthlies (I don’t do dungeons or fractals).
