Confused about gear - How to get Ascended Back and Trinket (earrings?)

[Bastien.1645]

Can someone tell me the easiest way to get an ascended back and 2 earrings?

 

I bought amulet + 2 rings with Laurels but I cant see any back or trinket on sale.

   The best place to get ascended back piece, ring, ear ring and underwater respirator is farming winterberries in the Season 3 Bitterfrost Frontier map. There's groups of 2 winterberries placed in roughly a ring along the map, which can lead to gather ~50 winterberries x character x day (and a large amount of unbound magic at the same time). The quaggan vendor in the kodan ship will sell you the ascended items.. Remember that you can also infuse a rang to wear two of the same kind. With a good build and all the mounts (specially the beetle) you can do a gathering run in 4 to 6 minutes.

   The other exceptional places to get ascended items are:

   1)  Icebrood Saga map Bjora Marches (requires a pair of achievements to unlock the vendors) to get ascended amulets and ear rings (require 56k karma and a lot of (375) iceshards, which can be gathered from the large chest (~180 from the three, there's other ways to farm iceshards but none as efficient as the chests).  Albeit don't require flying mounts, they make it way faster (all three chest under 3 minutes).

   2) Sandswept Isles and Dragonfal, Season 4 maps. They provide rings, ear rings and amulet. Currencia¡es aren't  as fast to farm as in Bitterfrost & Bjora, but they are decent. I recomend to buy home nodes of those two.

   3) Ember's bay and Bloodstione Fen Season 3 map are also very good. Ember provides an earing, and Bloodstone amulet, ring and back piece. Bloodstone Fen has the rere ability to allow you to RESERT stats in its ascended trinkets paying 100 unbound magic. Both maps are currently BAD to farm, so buying a home node can be a good alterantive along the years.

   Other seasonal maps: not very good alternatives, better to use their currencies consum,ing them for extra unbound or volatile magic. PvP & WvW ascended trinkets: better save them to get the legendary ones (or legendary armors or back pieces):

Laurel merchants do sell accessories, which are the 2 trinket slots you're missing. (Trinkets is a general term for amulets, rings and accessories.) They're in a seperate tab to the rings and amulets, but on the same merchants.

The ideal route depends on the stat you are after.

You can just throw 250 Vicious Claw into the Mystic Forge for a backpiece:

This works well if you're early on in the story and don't want spoilers for the Living World seasons where the ascended backpieces are normally farmed. You do need to do some T1 Fractals to get the Vial of Mists Essence though. (It takes maybe a few days of running T1 dailies in the LFG.)

 

I'm not sure what you mean about the accessories (earrings), they're available at the Laurel and Guild Commendation merchants just like anything else. They should cost 40 laurels and 50 Globs of Ectoplasm each. If they're not showing up, try checking the WvW Laurel merchant.

 

I just checked and they're in tab #6 of the Laurel merchant. Make sure you don't buy two with the same name, as they're "unique" and thus not multi-equipable.

I add Siren's Landing for the ascended back item, to what the others already said:
