Andswith.8149 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Hey guys, is it possible to get all ascended items using only gold? Or at least full armors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khisanth.2948 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 No since there are some account bound materials that can't be bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyninja.2954 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 The closest here would be crafting the ascended items, but even here, some materials will be account bound and thus will have to be farmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andswith.8149 Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 Would it take long to gather these account bound ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blood Red Arachnid.2493 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 The only part that can't be bought, directly or indirectly, with gold is the Vision Crystals. Those require 5 bloodstone bricks, 5 dragonite ingot, and 5 empyreal stars. The lesser crystals require 2 of each. Farming them takes awhile, but they also bleed in to your inventory for doing most things in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayra.7405 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 exspect around 250 gold for one full ascended armor set. (plus 40-50 gold for one crafting discipline to 500, leather more)exspect around 50 gold for one weapon (plus 40-50 gold for one crafting discipline to 500)learn crafting guide with shopping-list & prices: https://gw2crafts.net/armor guide with shopping-list & prices https://gw2efficiency.com/crafting/ascended?filter.type=0weapon guide with shopping-list & prices: https://gw2efficiency.com/crafting/ascendedfor the recipes it depends, some for gold in the TP, some for laurels from the teacher, generally it doesn't matter much with stats you craft you can transform them afterwards quite cheap: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge#Ascended_equipment_prefix_change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yasai.3549 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 The only thing which yu need to cough up on yur own is the Vision Crystal and Lesser Vision Crystals.If yur seriously rich, yu can buy the materials to craft it with.But that requires yu to have Lv500 in the particular craft which makes the equipment, which is another gold sink in itself if one is trying to rush it.So yu will end up doing this : Dump a bunch of Gold levelling craftsDump a bunch of Gold buying Ascended Insignia and InscriptionsDump a bunch of Gold buying pre-crafted Weapon and Armor partsDump gold and timegated Laurels into learning RecipiesDump more Gold if yu wish to switch the stats on it. So unless yur willing to shell out ridiculous amounts of money, and still have to farm for the Vision Crystals, then yes yu can make Ascended with Gold. My advice for a quick Ascended with not so much investment?Find a Guild that does regular WvW / Meta / WB trains.These events all have a chance to drop Ascended Armor or Weapon coffers, and are pretty fun to do, and yu can participate in them with just Exotic gear. Then it's just a small matter to stat change these Armor pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I saw newbies who‘s first move in the Game was to buy a leggy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or at least full armors?I'm just crafting my first ascended armor and I notice there are materials what you can't buy and one material what can be buyed, but not with gold. But I'm still newbie, so I don't really know all the possibilities.Augur's Stone I had to buy with Spirit Shards in Lion's Arch npc.Empyreal Fragment you can get from many chests as loot and Living World Story 2 rewards, can't be buyedDragonite Ore you can get from loots or harvesting resources in some zones after done Living World Story 3.Bloodstone Dust you get from loots, it's I think most common loot there is.Thermocatalytic Reagent you can buy from master armorsmith npc with gold or even TPGlob of Dark Matter you get by salvage exotic gear, of course you can buy exotic gear from TP with gold.Glob of Ectoplasm you can get by salvage rare or exotic gears or buying it from npcs with many different ways, but not gold, example karma.I don't remember what else was needed, what was harder to get material. Others was just common stuff what you can buy with gold from TP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayra.7405 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 You can buy exo-armor for 30s in the TP and salvage them And Ectos are 20s in the TPSpirit chards you can get via tomes of knowledge (login rewards) even if you haven’t finished masteries in any area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deedrick.4372 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Well, you could buy gems with gold. Then buy the LS1 boxes from gem store. With the currency from those, you can buy vision crystals which afaik is the only account bound limitation on crafting for gold only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
