Porrin.3298 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Greetings, Im coming back to the game after a few years away and I find my bank filled with 100+ ascended armor/weapons (most of them from raids/fractals and the ocasional achievement), I have all legendary armor/jewelry and a few weapons, all my characters have all the ascended weapons they can use (minus EoD especs) on both power and condi versions. So I find myself trying to remember the reason why I was hoarding all those ascended items (have the fatebreaker achievement as well), was I expecting to gain anything from them? Haven said so, is there a profitable way to get rid of them all? - The vanilla ones out of crates can be sold for 1gold - According to the wiki: ascended crafting materials can be salvaged (although i think it doesnt apply to non-crafted items --> can someone confirm?) Course of action: 1) right click -> destroy 2) salvage 3) sell them to the NPC merchant Please halp!

Crystal Paladin.3871 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Maybe convert them to research notes and unlock jade based recipes, use for crafting jade power core level10... Some ascended Armor and weapons need to be stat swapped to craftable asc versions b4 converting to research notes... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those that are worth 1+ gold you can sell to the merchant, if you are in need of gold. Everything else, as Crystal Paladin already suggested: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Research_Note#Salvaged_from P.S. You might have hoarded the stuff to equip any future characters? Or perhaps in hopes of a mercenary/hero NPC system being introduced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eXruina.4956 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 i've accumulated a pretty hefty hoard of ascended chests over the past decade, and i know its probably never going to happen but i'm still waiting for the day anet makes them giftable so i can go about donating them to newbies. 🎅 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega.6801 Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Definitely salvage them either for research notes or for magnetite shards. You can convert all ascended drops into "researchable" items, by changing them in the mystic forge. I use the kourna map currency to buy the plaguedoctor insignias/inscriptions, other people use the mosaics from PoF to change the items to grieving (iirc) stats. Make sure to remove all infusions before changing items in the MF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strixxe.2019 Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Im just salvaging them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porrin.3298 Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 (edited) Thank you all for your help! Now what would be the cheapest(ish) insignia/inscription to use in the mystic forge? I have infinite currency from all living seasons, PoF and HoT, volatile and unbound magic. You all look like you can handle some drakes 🥰 EDIT: spent sometime in the wiki and without a doubt Intact Mosaic (grieving stats) is as cheaps as it gets (6 silver) Edited May 20, 2023 by Porrin.3298 Updated info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbut.7480 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Salvaging them for the Balls of Dark Energy seems better than exchanging them for gold, you can get gold otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably sould have been more precise, sorry. If you salvage RAID ascendeds, you will get magnetite shards out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
