Ascended armor is armor of Ascended rarity. All ascended armor pieces come with an infusion slot. Attribute combination of an ascended armor can be changed using the Mystic Forge by replacing it with a new item of desired stats.
Acquisition
Ascended armor can be obtained in a variety of ways.
Achievements
Completing certain achievements may reward players with one or more Ascended armor.
Crafting
Primary article: Ascended crafting#Ascended armor
See also: Grandmaster Mark
Ascended Armor may be crafted by level 500 Armorsmiths, Leatherworkers, and Tailors. Recipes can be bought from certain merchants (e.g. Master craftsmans) or obtained from opening certain containers or recipe books. Because some materials are timegated (limited to one craft per day), a minimum of 36 days are required to craft a full set (25 days for heavy armor). This timegate may be circumvented by purchasing the refined materials or components from the trading post.
Players can also craft Grandmaster Marks to exchange for ascended armor at certain vendors. The recipes for these marks can be purchased from BLING-9009, the Ascended Armor League Vendor or the Skirmish Supervisor.
Refined Envoy armor recipes for each weight can be obtained from their respective Master craftsman after completing the Envoy Armor II: Refined Armor collection.
Looting
Completing certain events can reward players with an Ascended armor box.
