Guild Wars 2

This thread isn’t really about whether the gear should have been implemented/continue to be implemented, or the apparent difficulty in getting for the average player. Perhaps this is being discussed in the multi-thousand post thread, but I’m not reading every page and to be honest, I wasn’t sure what keywords to use when searching. And I’m not really interested in losing this post in a sea of flaming posts. This is something I’m genuinely curious about. Instead, I’m just confused as to how ascended gear is the bridge between exotic and legendary gear, as has been said several times by Anet employees.

I’m looking as “bridge the gap” as a way to help decrease the enormous difference between exotic and legendary, to make a step in between. But ascended does not do that. As far as we’ve seen, ascended gear is going to take a lot of T6 mats, ectos, and/or gold – things that are fundamental in getting the legendaries. I feel like if there are people who are working on getting legendaries at the moment, going for ascended gear first isn’t going to help them at all. It’s actually going to set them back. So what is this bridge mentioned? The only thing I can imagine is its time scale is somewhere in between legendary and exotics, for people who don’t have time for legendaries. But seeing how long it takes to get a single piece, I can’t imagine getting a legendary will be longer than full ascension gear (clearly this is pure speculation based on one item, backpack). Just wondering what everyone else thought.

This seems right. You are using 5 of the dust you trying to upgrade to right (shimmering dust), and not T1 dust (glittering)?

It likely works like GW1 weapons after completing the story. You load into a zone after completing the mission and trade in the token. So the ones on the TP were gained by people doing the last personal story after getting their token.

The issue is that people who have previously completed their last story can no longer enter the personal zone to get their Pact weapons. Perhaps completing Arah Story Mode again would allow you to talk to the weapons trader, but I’m not sure. Or you can wait until a fix is made (which I believe Anet has stated they will?).

It is candy, corn, plastic fangs, iron ingot, and ???

Edit: This is for armorsmith.

You can see from the screenshot posted of Foefire’s Essence, it says “Soulbound on Use”. So yea it seems as if it can be sold on the TP, along with probably all these other unique exotics like Volcanus, etc.

I doubt the blade is soulbind on acquire (but account bound on acquire is possible). Some of these weapons (like vision of the mists) cost 250 ectos. I think anet knows if someone would try these recipes the first time only to find that they got a weapon on soulbind they couldn’t use, there would be some pretty enraged people.

Because of that, the people claiming they made one, but offering no screenshots and aren’t selling it on the TP/forums, are probably lying.

My guildmate confirmed that the ascalonian shield cannot be combined with mystic coins. Can’t confirm on scrolls nor if the GS will do either.

We seem pretty stuck on it being related to Ascalon. Has anyone tried to see if the AC weapons combine with mystic coins?

I was able to get the cutscene when trying it again. The only two things I did differently was talk to the wyld hunt sylvari (The leader of them has a short dialogue you can do) and I made sure the risen who were pretty much inside the tower were dead before it blew up. Who knows if this is what changed it, but I thought I would mention it.

Having same error as everyone else. The cutscene is not triggering after clearing the beach.

Male Sylvari Guardian – chose vigil path, solo. I’m not sure what else is wanted here, but I’ll check back here again to reply if any more specific data is wanted.
