Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this is a bug or not but it is really annoying if it is intended…

Basically I just bought myself my second ascended ring for my character and I went for “Ring of Red Death” from the WvW laurel merchant. I already had one of them equipped in the other slot but I assumed I would be able to equip two since it works that way fine with exotic gear. I was wrong.

So now I’ve just wasted 25 laurels and 250 badges of honor on something i can’t even use! Even worse, I soulbound it to see if that would make it equip…

There should be a notice that you can’t use two of the same type ascended ring! Is this the same deal with accessories too?

Well, though many don’t understand it, there is a notice in that those rings are labeled unique.

Any item with the Unique qualifier means only one can be equipped at the same time.

Contacting CS, though, will solve the issue for you, as they will replace the ring with another. Good luck. =)

See the Notes section here:

The ‘Unique’ restriction applies to all ascended trinkets.

Agreed. Think that the one sentance is not to hard to put below all the other stuff in the item..
When i was choosing the accessories, looked at guid from youtube and did exactly as they were doing it but was considering the idea to buy 2 of the same kind.. This is a tricky one

Happens very often. You can write to support, explain the situation and ask for a ring with another infusion slot. People say that support helps, and that they’ll make this part more clear soon.

Thanks for the replies, I’ve contacted support =)

Unfortunately that’s not a bug.

Anet will not replace. Don’t even bother they will respond that you are welcome to waste as many laurels as you wish buying duplicate items such as ascended recipes and the same with rings……..

Anet will replace the ring, just contact customer support, I know of at least 5 friends that have made this mistake and after putting in a support ticket anet did help them and fix their mistake. just don’t go off in the support ticket crying about this and that.

just admit the mistake and ask for help fixing

it isnt a bug, thats how it works, yup , made the same mistake myself, all there is left to do is learn from it, or save it for another character in the future, if u do that u will be glad u did it and wont be a waste.

on a side note, after while my storage was full of ascended rings I had to create characters just so not to wasted them and still I had to merch a bunch of them.

There is a workaround for this, you know. Infuse one of your Rings of Red Death. Your one character can wear both the infused and uninfused version of the same ring.
