Ascention Armor

Well, I just finished crafting my set of Bonelace ascention armor from Granite Citadel- I figured I'd post it here so everyone could see what it looks like!

For those who don't know what I'm talking about, later in the game you can craft some "special" armor for 15,000 gold and a lot of crafting materials for each piece. It's no better than the armor you can get at Droknar's Forge, or on a PvP character, but has a different appearance.

Thanks for the post. Does it automatically come in blue, or did you dye it?

I typically use Gladiator armor for my warrior, so I was wondering, which set does the Ascention armor behave as, or can you select? Because for me, I like the extra mana

It actually has a different model? Wasn't there just a post not too long ago talking about how they had exactly the same model as the 1.5k armor?

Yes- I dyed that armor blue: it's red when crafted- still looks pretty sweet even when red.

To show the difference, here's the normal Bonelace armor set that you can buy in Droknar's Forge or from other crafters through the game(attatched at the bottom)

The bonelace set did not require any of the special materials- from what I've heard, they are currently bugged, though they might be fixed by now. The bonelace set only required several hundred hides and bones along with 60K gold.

Goll: You can craft any of the armor sets, I believe. Some of the ascention armors are in Granite Citadel, while others are available in Marhan's Grotto. I've heard about an armor crafter in the Underworld, but I've never visited him myself- I'll look at crafting some armor from there next to see how it looks.

Is it 15k per piece, or 15k for the armour in total?

Per piece...

15k PER PIECE. so it's up to 75k Gold if your Armor is 5 pieces

I was hoping for something a bit more extravegant for 15k...

At least for my sets, there were only 4 pieces available, and I probably would have only gotten 4 pieces anyhow. The other piece of armor for a Necromancer is the head scar pattern, which isn't very visible, and I don't really see anything they could do to enhance it's appearance. I doubt any helms are avaiable, due to the lack of differences between helms, though possibly Warriors might have some differences, as IIRC, they have helms with their different sets as well as the different +skill ones.

15k per peice, and I though the ascalon city sets where pricey! Well condiering I have not made it past Lion's Arch. I have only played one beta event and am waiting to get a graphic card that canr un the game properly before I buy the game.

Any monk, elementalist or mesmer ascension armors for show?

I'll post my Elementalist when I get home

Ooo.. I really wanna see the Elementalist one.

Freyas inspired me.

Here's my monk in full citadel Aesetic armor, dyed turquoise.

wow... that's cool. if you run, can warrior monks tell which way you're going? hehe

I presume there is versions of the tormentor armors and others? Anyone have any screenshots of them? I'd hate to blow 15k on the top piece and find that the cape clips into it :\
