30 laurels for amulets, 35 for rings, and 40 (+50 ecto) for accessories. Since you cannot get amulets any other way, they should probably be your first priority. You can get rings as a random daily bonus at Fractals 10 and above, and ascended accessories can be bought with guild commendations; if you're doing those it's much less time consuming Get exotic gear off the TP. For everything except fractals it is all you need, and if you play the build a lot, you can get towards ascended gear for it. It is really only slightly weaker, and it will almost never be the difference maker. Honestly you only NEED ascended gear for fractals for the agony resist. Please if you are a beguiner don't go for ascended gear in fractals, and crafting option is not god for beguiners, you need to much gold just for level up your crafting profesion and the aditional cost of the ascended item, The people ho said liquid gold, and go fractals are the best way to get ascended gear I keep 250 in my mats storage and that's it. The rest I destroy. If I ever want to make ascended gear, I can't go through more then that in a day anyway because of the crafting cooldowns, so there's no point in stockpiling. I can just go get more while the cooldown is running. Go to LFG, Fractals, t1 (1-25), join any group that says t1 daily. Tell them you're new, they'll explain basic mechanics. Within a week you'll have enough to get Rings from BUY-2046 PFR. Find a guild, any guild that does weekly missions. Use commendations to get Accessories. Add a comment. 3. Your options are: Sell it the a merchant. Salvage it. Throw it into the Mystic Forge with 3 similar items. But note that you won't be able to sell or salvage any gear that was acquired from a karma merchant or the helms that are rewarded for dungeons' story mode. Salvaging is often your best option for level 68+ rare or exotic BpP4G.
