Which allows you to get any type of gear.Fractals drop prestine fractal relics and you use those with trinkets. Also if your crafting is at 500, you can use research papers and craft grandmaster mark to get ascended gear.Crafting.Doing collections can get you ascended gear.Doing octovine meta is a possibility. But rarely will you ever get it.
Well you can but it will lose its precuror function. You can change its appearance via the wardrobe function if desired, which I would advise against given the higher chance to misplace the item or mistake it for a regular ascended. You can freely use either weapon in a build or loadout.
Strikes are how you get cheap ascended gear. Do your daily Ibs 5, plus eod strike. Buy ascended items with the blue shards. Do your return to achivments and you'll have enough for quite a few prices of ascended gear and you get an ascended weapon. Do the achivments for your class to get your ascended weapon eod ones are very easy. You can buy ascended rings of core stats (ex. Berserker's) from Fractal vendors. They require 10 Pristine Fractal Relics each, which you get 1 from each Daily Fractals chest. Those chests also have a chance to drop ascended gear boxes, the higher tier Fractals' chest having the higher chance.@Overlord RainyDay.2084 said:Since you only have to use intact mosaics, Grieving is one of the easiest stats to get. The free piece from The Sun is Silent for This One, is nice, but it's probably harder then just crafting your sixth piece of ascended gear the old fashioned way.
If precursor quality were to move to ascended quality gear : pre wouldn't be forged in a batch "by mistake". pre wouldn't be salvaged "by mistake". ascended materials would probably rise in price. one of the major drawback is that the exotic loot table would be completely f*cked up. However, how many of us had a precursor drop as a random lootIf you're still early on in the game, consider just sticking with exotic gear. As you play the game you'll just naturally acquire lots of the materials you need, as well as the money you'll need to buy anything you're missing. Ascended gear is nice, but it's only like a 5% stat boost -- it's not worth wearing yourself out for. .
