Othrim.8540 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Hello,I would like a guiding hand to help point in me in the right direction to obtaining Viper exotic gear.Fairly new to the end game.. Even if someone can point me to a resource to use that explains in detail how to get pieces that would help a lot.The wiki maybe useful if you understand what you're looking at, but it can be quite daunting if you don't have prior knowledge to the item names etc..Thanks in advance.

Dayra.7405 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Viper ascended is easier then viper exo :)For Viper Exo you need to farm the Tarir meta to collect all the recipes you need and buy the exo Insigne/Inscription at Tarir Merchant and craft them. EDIT: Wasn't aware they are tradable, you can buy the recipes in the TP. Thx, Khisanth.2948 Viper Ascended: craft/take any Ascended armor/weapon with any stats, buy the exo Insigne/Inscription at Tarir Merchant, convert them in the mystic forge to viper. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge#Ascended_equipment_prefix_changeAscended Viper jewelry/backpack you can buy on LS3-4 maps for map currency and choose Viper Stats.So my recommendation: Buy the asc jewelry for viper (and infuse it with WvW-Expertise infusions), (EDIT on) if you have crafting 400, buy the recipes and craft viper-exo, if not, you can temporarily use some weaker condition Exo armor/weapon prefix like sinister, carrion or rabid from TP (EDIT off) till you learned crafting 400/500 and collect gold/mats to craft them and are finally able to replace them with viper ascended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayra.7405 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 And do NOT buy 2 identical asc rings/accessories a single char can wear them only once (if you already did, infuse one ring but not the other :) ). That’s the meaning of this „unique“ in the item-description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButcherofMalakir.4067 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 You can get it from any stat selectable exotic now.so bladed or laystone armor should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holykitten.3064 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Bladed Armor, granted you may have to wait for the chest item from night bosses, but the rest are purchased with Airship parts from the vendor there, that’s 5/6 easy pieces.As above, as long as you have the HoT expansion, any stat selection Exotic will have Vipers to choose.

It is always wanderer.@"Dayra.7405" said:Viper ascended is easier then viper exo :)For Viper Exo you need to farm the Tarir meta to collect all the recipes you need and buy the exo Insigne/Inscription at Tarir Merchant and craft them.or you just buy them. They are dirt cheap. The most expensive is 7s48c for instant buy.Viper Ascended: craft/take any Ascended armor/weapon with any stats, buy the exo Insigne/Inscription at Tarir Merchant, convert them in the mystic forge to viper. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Forge#Ascended_equipment_prefix_changeAscended Viper jewelry/backpack you can buy on LS3-4 maps for map currency and choose Viper Stats.So my recommendation: Buy the asc jewelry for viper (and infuse it with WvW-Expertise infusions), take some weaker condition Exo armor/weapon prefix like sinister, carrion or rabid while you learn crafting 500 and collect gold/mats to craft them and are finally able to replace them with viper ascendedThere is no reason to be using sinister as a "while you wait to get viper" thing. That is just wasting money/materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othrim.8540 Posted September 21, 2019 Author Share Posted September 21, 2019 Apologies for the ignorance, I imagine its the bladed gear thats the exotic gear from HoTs, that allows stat selection?AndWhich WvW track gives the Exotic gear? + Where would I be looking to go for Viper weps?

(pre ascended)triumphant for WvW and glorious for PvP but getting the gold and crafting them would probably be faster than completing the tracksthere is also a hero weapon track for WvW for weapons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starlinvf.1358 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 The only thing you want bother going exotic is the armor... and only if you can readily get them via stat selectable items. For Trinkets just go straight to Ascended; they can be reused on other characters, and make up almost half your stats as is. Weapons you also want ascended for similar reasons.
