Ascended crafting
Ascended crafting is the crafting of ascended equipment and requires a level 500 crafting discipline.
Note that all items require ingredients that can only be crafted once per day as these are time-gated refinement recipes. Specifically the time gated ingredients are:
- Glob of Elder Spirit Residue (used in Spiritwood Plank)
- Lump of Mithrillium (used in Deldrimor Steel Ingot)
- Spool of Thick Elonian Cord (used in Elonian Leather Square)
- Spool of Silk Weaving Thread (used in Bolt of Damask)
Using the numbers below, this means that crafting a complete set of ascended armor set take a minimum of 36 days for light and medium armor or 25 days for heavy armor (18 of which is used to make the insignias). Weapons require 5-9 days each (3 days for the inscription with additional 2-4 days for the weapon components) depending on how the materials are spread out. These time gate may be circumvented by purchasing the materials or components from the Trading Post. Note: Ascended weapon components cannot be purchased off the trading post.
Ascended weapons[edit]
To craft Ascended weapons, players will first need to obtain an Ascended Inscription recipe sheet and use it to learn the recipe for the prefix they want (e.g. Recipe: Zojja's Berserker Inscription for Berserker stats). Players also need to obtain an ascended weapon recipe for the weapon with that specific prefix. For example, a greatsword with Berserker stats requires a Recipe: Zojja's Claymore. Recipes may be purchased from various merchants, such as a Master craftsman, or obtained as rewards from certain chests, containers or events. The prefix of the weapon recipe and the inscription recipe must match.

Ascended armor[edit]
To craft Ascended armor, players will first need to obtain an Ascended Insignia recipe sheet and use it to learn the recipe for the prefix they want (e.g. Recipe: Zojja's Berserker Insignia for Berserker stats). Players also need to obtain an ascended armor recipe for the piece with that specific prefix. For example, a Heavy Helm with Berserker stats requires a Recipe: Zojja's Visor. Recipes may be purchased from various merchants, such as a Master craftsman, or obtained as rewards from certain chests, containers or events. The prefix of the armor recipe and the insignia recipe must match.
