How to make The Ascension

Introduction

This is a step-by-step guide which explains how to craft , the Legendary PvP Back item.

Legendaries are convenience/cosmetic items first and foremost, they won't help you out in PvP. 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.

If you have to craft then make sure that you also have a character with either:

• 425 skill in Chef

• 450 skill in one of the following crafting disciplines: Artificer, Huntsman, Weaponsmith, Armorsmith, Leatherworker, or Tailor.

Otherwise crafting won't be necessary.

Timegating

If you're starting from scratch then crafting might take you at least 2 seasons, as only 100 PvP League Ticket can be obtained per Conquest season and you'll need 125 in total. During the season itself there's no other timegating mechanism associated with this currency, you could even grind out all 100 in the first week.

There are some timegated achievements (like winning 3 ranked games a day 15 times) but technically these can be skipped if you do all the other achievements.

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 (125) - 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.

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

• (between 0 and 40) - 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. However you won't need any unless you have to craft crafting s.

• (2) - one crystal is made from a combination of 5 + + , so you'll need 10 of each. 1 Brick is made from 100 Pile of Bloodstone dust, 1 Dragnite Ingot from 100 Dragonite Ore and 1 Empyreal Star from 100 Empyreal Fragments. Could also drop from salvaging Ascended Chest, Leg, and Weapon slot items. Check your bank first because there's a chance you might already have enough of these.

• (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, or already have 2 Vision Crystals then you won't need any shards.

• (77) - contained in the final reward chest of many reward tracks, especially non-repeatable ones.

Honorable mentions:

• (250) - 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) - also not accountbound, this is mostly just a gold sink. Could be bought from the Trading Post or alvaged from high level Rare and Exotic gear.

Step 3: PvP Components

Go to Heart of the Mists and grab the rest of the necessary materials too so you don't have to come back several times during the crafting process. You'll find the vendor near the Market Waypoint on the eastern edge of the platform.

Head over to the League Vendor, open the 1st tab and buy:

Before you leave pick up some items from the 2nd tab:

• (5) - cost: total of 25 PvP League Ticket for the 5 certificates

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

Step 4: Crafting Materials

Before approaching the Mystic Forge you should grab the missing materials from the Trading Post if you need any for the gifts (check the crafting tables below and see what you're missing).

Vision Crystal

To create a Vision Crystal in the next step of the guide first you must make some Ascended materials.

For this you'll need either 425 skill level in Chef or 450 skill level in either Armorsmith, Artificer, Huntman, Leatherworker, Tailor or Weaponsmith.

• (10) - crafted from 1000 + 20 + 100

• (10) - crafted from 1000 + 20 + 100

• (10) - crafted from 1000 + 20 + 100

can be bought directly from crafting trainers in bulks of 10, so buy 30 not 300.

Once you have all the necessary matarials go ahead and craft 2 using the Bricks, Ingots, Stars and the Augur's Stones. For this step however you need 500 skill level in either Armorsmith, Artificer, Huntman, Leatherworker, Tailor or Weaponsmith.

Step 5: Mystic Forge

Now we can start forging!
