Ascended weapons drop from fractals and any place you can get ascended materials.
- wvw supervisors and lords
- champ loot
- jumping puzzles
- dungeons
- world events
- mini dungeons
- random chests around maps
So you don’t have to craft it exclusively.
You should probably read up on it before forming an opinion of what ANet intended.

Feels like an eternity since this was posted:
TL;DR: We are going to wait at least a couple more weeks before changing any of the math behind the new system, but it is very likely we’ll decrease the size of the variation at some point.
3 months ago.
Had a quick look at EU, I don’t know their servers well, but in terms of rankings, it looks like chaos there too.
Rank 11 in tier 2!
Rank 5 & Rank6 in tier 4!
Rank1 in tier 3! etc

Thread deserves a revive this week.
SoR and TC vs. SoS! Epic. I’ll be enjoying SoR’s 9000 players per map against our 30 on EB and 10 on SoS.
DB vs YB vs Kaineng. Another solid match up!
BP getting Mag dumped on them.
DH and HoD fighting off CD!
Predictable results incoming.
^ Again, the main point of contention is daily and monthly. They give you essence of luck, which is obviously not going to do anything at 300%, whilst karma (An infinitely useful currency) gain was nerfed significantly.
And then people will want gloves to wear.
Then they will complain the gloves are small and can’t be seen (They’re gloves of course they’re small?)
Then devs will cater to those people, and make really big stupid cartoonesque hands for them to wear.
Then they will ask for a Legendary Glove, and it will be disproportionately big like those toy hulk hands, and whenever you attack something it’ll say “SMASH!”
No thank you.
Magic find is now 116% and rising nice and steadily, would still like to know if hitting 300% means daily and monthly are pointless.
You can buy the mats off the tp, and could make them on day 1, they’re not that expensive to make like everyone was crying about the weeks before the patch.
This is one of the only reasons I hate this game. But congrats OP.
Did you take an extended break from the game? I have noticed that the RNG god rewards players who take a long break and come back.
To the people claiming tinfoil, his comment is actually pretty much fact, it just can’t be proven because no one has access to anets scripts and mechanics to get the numbers. It is designed to get people who stop playing, back into the game after they play for 5 minutes to see if they want to play again. Think of it as an extended version of Diminishing Returns that already plagues this game.
People in my guild have logged in after 3 months, and instantly gotten dusk, 20g jewellery, entropy on day 2 of champ loot, after 1 bag, all after 5 minutes of logging in. Other people have many other examples, and it is definitely not tin foil hat worthy.
Dangle the carrot in front of the donkey already playing, he’ll get the carrot eventually.
THROW the carrot at the speed of a professional pitcher to the prodigal donkey, and hope he stays with his new found epic item.

Regarding the farming mat comment about ascended mats, i recommend just run cof p1/p2 (2.5g~) and AC p1/p3 (3.5g~) = 6g~ can be done in a 1 to 1.5 hrs.
That shld be more than enough money to do the daily part for the ascneded, that is my recommendation instead of running around for mats.
But that is no different to running around farming them, you’re spending the same amount of time to get it, and it takes a while.
If you ask the 1000 players on the top 1000 ranking how they feel, over 900
0of them will agree that the PvE dailies are too much. People are literally quitting the game because of this issue, I just want Anet to be aware of it.
I’m in the top 500 I think. If I’m at home I’ll try fit the time in to do all the pve/wvw/pvp dailies. Whenever I log in they’re the first thing to be done, then if I have time I get on with doing something I feel like doing.
I enjoy playing pvp so that one isn’t an issue. WvW I also enjoy, and do it regularly, but some days I don’t feel like spending an indefinite amount of time going after 10 kills because frankly some times when you’re in wvw the kills just aren’t there. WvW kills can take anywhere between 5 minutes to 2 hours. Honestly I think the kills should be on rotation like the others.
Some days you get a sweet roll where you don’t even have to try to do all the pve dailies, and you can do whatever you want straight after logging in, but some days they’re annoyingly long, between 1-2 hours for the full set of dailies (pve, pvp, wvw).
The main problem is all this temporary content, I and no one else can do it as we please, it HAS to be done every day for 1-2 weeks, then it is taken away, and replaced with another, and again you HAVE to do only that, or you’ll miss out on the content. It stops you from playing the game how you want, be it more time in wvw, more time in pvp, or more time in fotm or dungeons etc. The temporary content is a joke. And SAB needs to be permanent, it is hands down the best thing in any MMO.
Before achievement rewards I only did every daily perhaps 4 out of 7 days a week (there were also less of them at this point), with achievement rewards I try to do them all everyday because let’s face it, dailies are the only way to expand your total significantly to reach each milestone. I don’t care about the leaderboards, it’s the account rewards I’m after.
I won’t be ‘quitting the game’ over it, because it is my choice to do them or not.
But I’ll admit I’d like the pve dailies to be cut back to 5, like they used to be. So 5 pve, 3 wvw, 4 pvp.
But also on top of the dailies, is now the ascended mats daily. You need to go log and mine a rather vast amount of t2-t5 each day for the daily materials and it feels a bit like runescape let’s be honest here.
Hmm turns out I’m actually rank 285 just had a look.

The greatswords are the most loved legendary, but sure, let’s over do the overly done greatswords over and over again. Half of the other legendarys need work done. But sure let’s do greatsword some more because those users are never happy with being the most epic shiny as well as having changed skill effects/projectiles on top of that.
“its two legendaries in one so this should be somewhat more special then others”
No.
It is special. The greatswords are the only legendarys that can be seen in a 50 man effect spamming zerg.
Next you’ll want it to make the sound of a star exploding whenever you swing, and then that won’t be enough for the greatswords wielders, and they’ll want even more.
“its just weird and not finished imo”
I can’t believe I just read that.
Op, what’s your problem with this?
It’s expensive and the stat combo’s should of been added months ago.
Would be great to hear what is planned for daily and monthly.
Also for all classes, the +25% speed stacks with swiftness.
No. No it does not. If mulitple are active only the highest one is applied.
Rune of the traveler.
Your wish was granted by anet, the crying paid off.
Its been 2 days….jeez…. already complaining because “I WANT IT NAOW!”
You want to know whats long? WvW achievements.
I honestly don’t have a problem with it, to some degree.
What I hate and don’t agree with, is leaking the information, some people don’t like surprises ruined.
So keep the found information to yourselves.
It’s a good idea, but honestly there’s nothing hard and challenging enough for the master title to be meaningful.
And in response to your other post about how we were offered refunds, allowing the entire collective playerbase the opportunity to buy cheap MF gear pre-patch to save money on Berserker gear is NOT a solution targeted at those affected by the change. You have several categories of people here:
1) People who already have all the gear they need and all the alts they need. MF gear goes to waste even if it becomes account bound. These people would not have been compensated in either case, and I don’t know that anything could be done here (I’m sure there are possible solutions, like a buy-back system, but I doubt it was ever in the realm of possibility).
If said people already have all the gear they need FOREVER, then they have no real need for laurels and commendations, and hence do not need the entitlement refund. They’re also rich enough not to care.
Well we all can be happy, that it turned out great for you, but how about the rest of us, who don’t need another pve trinket set and will have to sell our accessories + amulet to the merchant for 5 silver, when we paid 10 gold + guild commendations + laurels for them, so yeah, there are NO REFUNDS, absolute zero, I’m not even counting my exotic magic find armor set + weapon I had to salvage, at least I got some ectos from those…
I can’t tell if you want a FULL COMMENDATIONS AND LAURELS REFUND, or to be able to move the gear to an alt.
If its the former, it won’t happen, because you already have compensation. Turn it into a second of of trinkets, like soldiers for wvw gear.
There are plenty of options at your disposal.
I totally agree with other users, I have already my pve equipment and I don’t need another one.
Please fix this problem.
Fix what for you? You just said you have your PvE equipment.
Either make it into a WvW set, or salvage it. Fixed.
Hey folks,
Just a bit of clarification here – Items that were soulbound prior to the change are still soulbound.
I hope this clears things up.
Indeed it’s clear now.
We lost MF. Get nearly no refunds.
Just stuck with three MF sets (armor, trinket, weapons on three characters) that are unusable by characters-owners. Sets that are not account bound. Runes / sigils that are useless.
Armor & weapons can be salvaged for Glob of Ectoplasm (if I want Globs I shall go for Globs, not salvaging my gear…).
What about Ascended trinkets? Bought with laurels? Sell for 4-6silver? Nice refund, nice safe side for customers…
Nearly no refunds?
- I bought six 1-2 gold exo’s and made them berserker when patch hit (for alts and even main)
- My guardian had full soldier and full magic find sets, the magic find set has been turned entirely into berserker (ascended trinkets and exotic armour/4 exotic weapons).
- A set of yakkington’s that I bought cheaply with the intent of turning it into sentinels, did not pay off (can’t choose sentinel), but I can choose to put it onto either of my 2 warriors or my guardian with a stat type of my choosing, or salvage it.
Exotic armour stats are very easily obtained, so even if the compensation somehow doesn’t work out for you due to it staying soul bound, you’re really not losing much, considering that character already has a proper set of gear (if it didn’t you wouldn’t be complaining) you are not hindered in any way.
Also, laurels are not the only method of obtaining the rings and accessories. The high laurel price for rings and accessories is because there are other ways of getting them. I bought a ring with laurels once because I was desperate for it, regretted my decision immediately, and I think that’s where your frustration is coming from. Not that a trinket you got from fractals, or guild commendations is unable to be moved to an alt, but because you wasted expensive laurels on them.
But don’t say there are ‘nearly no refunds’, because that’s not even close to the truth.
This forum is our way to communicate to the devs that we care. It is not up to you to decide from your high horse whether or not we can express our discontent.
First, I don’t have a high horse, there are no mounts in GW2 thankfully.
Actually, it is if the manner in which you are doing it is down right disgraceful and disrespectful. If you want your issue to be taken seriously then you need to do it in a level headed manner and not throw tantrums like a small child wanting a toy and then sitting down in the middle of walk ways crying and wailing.
And because you read my post how you wanted to read it and added your own words and meanings to it, I’ll let you know that it contained no ‘your opinion is wrong’, but merely ‘show some maturity instead of cursing and crying like a baby’.
Unless there are already recipes or other uses in play for them I think the answer is rather simple – stop salvaging blues/greens and TP them if the price is better than vendoring. Anet said they wanted the prices of blues/greens to rise on the TP and this was all part of that.
No where in this thread is the mention of blues and greens, not by me, not by anyone else.
Know why?
Because that’s blatantly obvious to stop salvaging blues and greens once you’re maxed out.
On the other hand, I did mention daily and monthly, which give you Essence of Luck.
Do you see where the problem is now if you’re being given those when your luck is maxed? Karma every day at least had infinite uses through profiting from trading it in.
The lot of you need to show some maturity.
I invested in some gear too, wanted to move gear, whatever, I aint even mad.
You’re all sitting here acting as though the servers have been shut down without notice and you lost $$$ of gems or something. It’s really not that big of an issue, chill out.
And these ’I’m quitting the game’ comments are old and pathetic, stop the over dramatizing it makes me cringe every time I read one. You’re making a war out of nothing, sit back and get some perspective.
And then there’s the comments DEMANDING an instant fix within 1 minute.
“I’m a VERWY ANGWY paying customer, fix naow” – LOL!
You paid a one time price for the boxed version of the game, not for the future updates that weren’t even an idea on a piece of paper yet, you can’t demand anything. Anything not related to release content or installation or running, you CANNOT use that line for. Thank you for your understanding all you selfishly entitled people.
I’m not even going to comment on the abusive comments towards the devs who bring you a tonne of great content, albeit bug filled, regularly. Grow up babies.
I’m not entirely sure but I think any level artificer has a transmogrify recipe to do it, haven’t looked at it myself yet.
crafting material
No. That’s only to upgrade them so they are more easily consumed.
Do we continue to get ‘Essence of Luck’ from daily/monthly instead of karma? Once Luck is maxed do we just continue to get another useless item that can’t be traded or forged or sold or anything else useful?
There should be an option on the daily and monthly, to either accept karma or magic find as the reward.
No mine is not maxed, that would be insane. I’m on 103%. Just thinking about the future…
errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The animation on bolt swings is awesome. The aura is awesome. The footsteps are nice and not overdone, its nice.
Look at meteor footsteps, can’t help but feel bad for people with it.
^ That’s the rangers warhorn 5th skill.
You don’t actually need that many materials.
Stop crying.
Well sure… if you zoom right in you’re not going to see anything.
Maybe……. – they’re hoping after 1 month of massive inflation we’ll be glad to see the game and economy go back to normal?
There’s barely been any inflation.
Though there HAS been way too much speculation by people, which caused a lot of things to be more expensive on the tp because a lot of people have been buying things outright, in mass. The prices will return to an acceptable level within the next week or two.
If they gave no reward for failure and left the rest of the event as is, you would still have a hard time completing it cause the farmers would just go back to farmer champs in Frostgorge and Orr and you would be stuck trying to complete it with 1/2 the people..
This, except closer to 1/4th the people.
Well I’m against changing the skirt, my male charr rocks it, and kitten he’s sexy.
^ haven’t used my fused gauntlets either :p
+1 needs to be implemented. Or the PvE locker.
Also 1 time gem store purchases like roxx quiver. My ranger will never be able to change skins without losing it or grinding another ascended fotm backpack.
I want to muck around with different skin set ups but there’s no way to do this without paying the ultimate price of losing a 1 time only skin. Should be a top priority for pve content.
(edited by Have No Faith In Me.1840)
Not a bad suggestion in terms of completing it. I hunt my dailies each day and yeah it does take away from actually playing the game.
Upgrading siege blueprints requires skill points. As does upgrading crafting materials. As does making equipment in the mystic forge. As do legendaries, bloodstone shard, clover recipe, etc.
Upgrading siege is quite skill point heavy.
Bumping because there’s junk threads on page 1.
Equivalent to karma banner would be 5%. They increased wxp gains across the game, plus added boosters and the half level consumable. If they’re going to increase it further they may as well just give everyone every trait and do away with levels.
That’s why you roll female characters.
Also for the booty.
He probably typed a similar name to yours and someone else got it. Someone randomly sent me some runes and sigils, so I sent them back he said it was an accident when I asked lol
Every time you use a torch skill it plays the Trogdor song.
Would buy straight away.
Twilight doesn’t need an improvement, what the hell?
Stand in sparkly fen, swing your greatsword and every player from fireheart rise to cursed shore can see it blinding across their screen.
Oh, and it’s not getting an ‘improvement’ ever, because it’s already complete epic, as is sunrise.
Some people are never happy, wow.
Change it because you can’t do it?
Quick pave the streets with gold and rose petals as our sire walks amongst the common folk!
Meh, I like it.
Conventional bow and arrow sounds are kind of boring in this genre. If I wanted a realistic sound I’d play a medieval based game.
It’s trivial to make a fight “hard” by adding a random chance of instant death, or by having the geometry interfere with the game camera in such a way that you can’t even see the fight properly. And that’s what Liadri is. It’s mainly a fight against the camera and the random number generator (and sometimes the renderer, which fails to render the effects at all, so you have no idea where to move), and only last a fight against the NPC in question.
Completely incorrect, but I can see why’d you would not bother to not focus on patterns considering the rest of the game has taught you to AFK faceroll the content.
- Visions spawn in the same locations, every attempt.
- Red circles appear in the same locations, in the same sequence, every attempt.
- Rifts seemingly spawn randomly, but also follow a pattern of opposites.
The only thing “random” is the players actions, if the player is not taking it upon themselves to replicate their movement patterns each run. If the player does a different movement path each run, he/she is just going to confuse themselves. If you replicate your movements, you will pull the same visions into the same white circles at the same time, every run. You can replicate the same run 100x over, just like dead eye farming. There is no RNG.
There is nothing random about Liadri, and 1 hit KO mechanics are completely fine, the game is built around block/evade/dodge roll, it is the core of the game, learn to use the core of the game proficiently.
