Guild Wars 2

Let me preface this with I’m not sure if there is a bug here or not.

As near as I can tell, 4 rings are now missing from the vendor in FotM, Circle of Light, Yakkington’s Ring, Snaff’s Gyre, and the Marriner’s Compass. This is understandable since they had magic find are were of the Wayfarer and Explorer types of equipment. My question is thus. What happens if we have an unascended version of these rings and then upgrade them in the mystic forge to create their ascended version? As it stands right now, I have 2 of these rings, as yet unused on any character, so I can choose some stats for them. I’d like to be able to upgrade them in the MF at some point, but I’m not sure what I’ll get, if anything. Would I get an ascended version of the ring that I can then choose stats on, would I get a ring the same as the one I picked the stats from, for example, if I picked Berserker stats, would I put in for example the Circle of Light with Berserker stats, and get out a Red Ring of Death, or would I get nothing since magic find is now gone?

Good question, haven’t thought about it. I also had 5 of those in total in my bank and have free stats now. When selecting a stat, it was still named Yakkington with the same icon. I guess I could bypass the “unique” rule with them.

But as for your question. I also have uninfused ones, but haven’t tried it.

And btw. it’s called infusing (/ Infused), not “ascension”.

Not a bug until someone actually tries it and it doesn’t work, but I’d like to know as well whether the MF change prevents the items from being infused.

Selected stats on a Snaff’s Gyre last night. Beserker stats.

I then through it in the MF to infuse.

I got a Snaff’s Gyre (Infused) out of the MF. I was then able to select stats again.

Not sure if they will ever take these recipes out of the MF, but for now you can still infuse them.
