big changes for Gold Find and Ascended crafting - GW2

[EpicNPC]

Gold find is leaving gear stats and making the transition to account wide stats so players will no longer have to flip between normal and MF gear. The max MF obtainable is 300%, however that can still be buffed by potions and guild buffs.

Ascended weapon crafting is on it's way in the next update also pushing crafting levels from 400 to 500 and adding two new crafting types.

There are four basic components to any Ascended Weapon recipe: The two weapon parts (i.e., hilt and blade), an Ascended Inscription, and a Vision Crystal. Each of these components is crafted using a combination of new and familiar crafting materials. The weapon parts all follow the same pattern as their lower quality versions but use Tier 7 materials plus Crystalline Dust and the new reagent. The Ascended Inscriptions all take the exotic inscription of the stat combo you want plus Dark Matter and Crystalline Dust. Dark Matter is a new Account Bound material exclusively salvaged from Exotics.
