As explained earlier, you can get Grandmaster Marks for free by playing WvW and PvP. However if you're willing to pay some gold there's a way to speed up the process.
 
 
 
 
 
First you'll need skill level 500 in the appropriate crafting discipline:
 
* {{Tooltip|Tailor}} for Light Armor - Grandmaster Tailor's Mark.
 
 
 
* {{Tooltip|Leatherworker}} for Medium Armor - Grandmaster Leatherworker's Mark.
 
 
 
* {{Tooltip|Armorsmith}} for Heavy armor - Grandmaster Armorsmith's Mark.
 
 
 
 
 
Then you'll have to buy the recipe from one of the following NPCs:
 
* [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascended_Armor_League_Vendor Ascended Armor League Vendor] for 10 {{Tooltip|PvP League Ticket}}. This is convenient but not the best idea if you're short on League Tickets as it's a timegated currency that's needed for crafting other compontents too.
 
 
 
* Skirmish Supervisor for 25 {{Tooltip|WvW Skirmish Claim Ticket}} + 10 {{Item|Memory of Battle}}. Tickets should be relatively easy to get from playing a few hours of WvW while memories could be bought from the TP.
 
 
 
* [https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/BLING-9009 Bling-9009] for 10 {{Tooltip|Pristine Fractal Relic}}. Fractal players should have plenty but if PvE is not your thing then one of the other options will have to suffice.
 
 
 
* You'll also need to buy 4 of these: {{Item|Recipe Book: Grandmaster Craftsman's Components}} at the same vendor for the same cost. OR you could <span style="color:#00ff00">'''skip this'''</span> step and buy the crafting components directly from the '''Trading Post''' as only the final product (Mark) is accountbound. Buying from the TP could even end up being cheaper.

Revision as of 18:20, 23 March 2023

Introduction

In this step-by-step guide you'll learn how to craft Transcendence, the Legendary PvP Amulet. Being one of the only 2 Legendaries for its particular slot makes Transcendence special.

While sPvP uses a different stat template and legendary armor is not helping you out in any way there, it's immensely useful for every other area of the game. Legendary armor incentivizes PvE/WvW players to try their luck in PvP while also making it easier for PvP players to jump straight into any other area of the game.

Legendaries are convenience items first and foremost. They're stored in your account storage shared across all characters. Their stats can be changed for free any time out of combat and upgrades can be removed with a simple click.

Always finish gathering everything in a given step before moving on to the next one! The guide is structured in a way that you'll hardly ever have to go to the same NPC or location twice if you follow the steps in the correct order. Each step also assumes that you have the necessary materials from the previous step.


WORK IN PROGRESS


Step 1: Accountbound Materials

The first thing you have to do is get the following accountbound materials and PvP currencies:

  • (4) - comes from the final reward chest of the Glorious Reward Track. Completing this track twice should be enough as you can get 2 fragments from one chest if you opt for the 2nd fragment instead of the Exotic armor.
  • PvP League Ticket PvP League Ticket (75) - final reward of every non-repeatable League Reward Chest, earned through playing ranked games. This is limited to 100 per season, but with 75 we're well within that limit.
  • Ascended Shard of Glory Ascended Shard of Glory (1075) - final reward of every League Reward Chest, earned through playing ranked games. If you already have a then you're only going to need 900. Farming these might take more than one season.
  • (100) - found in every PvP Reward Tracks as well as some WvW Reward Tracks and Large Rank-Up Chests you get from increasing your PvP rank.
  • - achievement reward for winning 120 ranked games during Conquest seasons. Doesn't have the be done in one season.


Universal currencies that are not strictly tied to PvP but can be acquired there too:

  • (140) - found in Rank-Up Chests and most loot boxes that come from PvP Reward Tracks. Alternatively use on a level 80 character to earn shards instead of levels. 100+40 for the 2 Augur's stones.
  • (77) - contained in the final reward chest of many reward tracks, especially non-repeatable ones.
  • (between 0 and 60) - used in crafting Bloodstone Bricks, Dragonite Ingots and Empyreal Stars. If you already have them gathering dust in your material storage then you won't need any shards.
  • (10) - crafted from 1000 .
  • (10) - crafted from 1000 .
  • (10) - crafted from 1000 .
  • (10) - chance to be salvaged from Exotic gear level 68 or higher.
  • (1) - guaranteed drop from salvaging Ascended Armor and Weapons using an , random drop from salvaging other Ascended gear. You can buy the tool from the Laurel merchant in Heart of the Mists.


Honorable mentions:

  • (2420, or 2250 if you already own a Mist Pendant) - while not accountbound it's still a PvP currency, and you'll need to grab them before proceeding to the next step of the guide. Could be bought from the Trading Post or earned via PvP Reward Tracks and daily achievements.
  • (250)
  • - WvW reward track reward.


WvW

Even though it's a PvP Legendary, WvW will be part of the journey.


Step 2: Ascended Precursor

The crafting process revolves around the as this is the piece of Ascended equipment that you're going to upgrade to Legendary. If you already have one, skip to the next step in the guide.

You could get the amulet from either PvP, WvW or PvE Fractals:


Step 3: PvP Components

Go to Heart of the Mists (or stay where you are if you bought the amulet with PvP currencies) and grab the rest of the necessary materials too so you don't have to come back several times during the crafting process.

Open the 5th tab of the Ascended Armor League Vendor and purchase:

  • - cost: 100
  • - cost: 1000 regular


Now head over to the League Vendor who should be right next to you, open the 2nd tab and buy:

  • - cost: 25
  • - cost: 50
  • - cost: 75
  • - cost: 100


Note: the essences have to be bought in order, as purchasing one essence unlocks the next at the vendor.


Step 4: Crafting

Let's head over to the crafting station (or the Trading Post, if you need to buy some of the materials) because you're going to have to craft a couple of gifts.

For this step 400 skill is required in one of the following crafting disciplines: Artificer Artificer, Huntsman Huntsman, Weaponsmith Weaponsmith.

The following 8 Exotic recipes for the gifts (Gift of Blood, Venom, Totems, etc.) must be bought for 10 Gold Gold each from Miyani (Mystic Forge Attendant) near the Mystic Forge if you don't have them already.


Gift of Condensed Magic

You're going to have to create 2 sets of Gift of Blood, Venom, Totems and Dust through crafting.

The material costs below are adjusted for crafting 2 of each gift, you don't have to get more than what's listed.

2x 2x 2x 2x
200 200 200 200
500 500 500 500
100 100 100 100
100 100 100 100


Keep these for later.


Gift of Condensed Might

Create 2 sets of Gift of Bones, Claws, Fangs and Scales through crafting, just like the previous step.

2x 2x 2x 2x
200 200 200 200
500 500 500 500
100 100 100 100
100 100 100 100


Keep these too for later.


Cube of Stabilized Dark Energy

You'll need 1. Making a requires:

  • 500 crafting skill in one of the following disciplines: Artificer, Armorsmith, Weaponsmith, Huntsman, Tailor, Leatherworker.
  • 1 - guaranteed drop from salvaging Ascended Armor and Weapons using an , random drop from salvaging other Ascended gear. You can buy the tool from the Laurel merchant in Heart of the Mists. DO NOT salvage your Ascended PvP gear! You'll need that later. Salvage some random crafted PvE piece and if you don't have one, make one.
  • 75 - salvaged from Ascended Rings and Trinkets, could also be bought from the Trading Post.
  • The recipe is learned automatically at the skill level of 500.
