  • PJ

    Are the back pieces free from light/med/heavy designations? If I have a 500 leather worker can I craft it for my Mesmer?

    • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

      Yes I believe so. None of the backpieces are class restricted so I don’t see why they would start now.

  • Kotzu

    will the crafting of this backpieces be available also after winter’s event?

    • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

      Yes, it is a permanent addition to the game like Ascended armor

  • Nik

    Did these backpieces have any stat?

    • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

      Yes you can select a stat when you finish crafting it.

  • Kris

    Gotten 2 of the Grenth Recipes now out of about 60-70 wintersday gifts, dont thinkt its out of 1000 like you put unless I’m just being lucky, but price is currently under 1g so…

    • Zennoby

      You are lucky. I opened several hundred, not seen a recipe yet.

  • Shukay

    But if i apply a skin on 1 of these backspacks.. what happen? i could continue change the stats?

    • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

      The stats is one time selection only. Once you select the stats, it cannot change stats again.

      • Shukay

        ah ok thx

  • Holaadian

    Can i see the stats anywhere or no pics of them yet or any info :P?? at work so cant go in game. I’m interested of how much stats they give.

    • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

      35 power, 35 precision and 56 toughness for the Knight version

      • Holaadian

        Are you a wizard ???. Thank you. That’s the set i’m using.

  • Ares Zax

    Kind of related question. If I already had an Ascended backpiece, created this one, and then transmuted them together, do you get to transfer the infusion on the first backpiece if it already had one? Or is it lost in the transmutation?

  • Raizel

    The recipe for Light of Dwayna is account bound anc can’t be sold at tp. Is this a bug?

    • Sardo

      Think the bug is with the Grenth stuff, there’s a spot on the TP for the actual Grenth back too. Pretty sure the Dwayna stuff is behaving as it’s supposed to (at least with regards to all the other Ascended stuff).

      • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

        No this is a bug with light of dwayna recipe, it doesn’t show on the TP unless you have it

    • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

      There is a bug with it where it won’t show on TP unless you own it. Wait for the next hotfix to see if it gets fixed

  • nathan goossen

    the wings of dwayna fits an guardian rather nice i wil want to get thoese i hope i can get them =) wel how much do the recipes kost acctuly today ?

  • Steven Lin

    This will take 15 days to craft

    • ReMarkable

      Or just gold.. You can buy Bolt of Damansk from the tp but overpriced atm.

      • Steven Lin

        if we are talking abt crafting it yourself by gathering the materials in the most efficient way 15 days would be best u can raise 50 gold in 15 days so it kinda reduces the expenses

        • Tiberius Raikage

          You can raise 50 Gold in a matter of hours, or in about 2-3 days. Do the following:

          AC
          CoF
          TA
          SE
          HoTW

          All paths or at least 2 of each, add in Fractals and Arah too if you can and you’ve got 50 Gold in no time.

          • Steven Lin

            15 days of minimum dungeon runs obviously there are faster ways to raise gold but I am saying raising the gold at a moderate pace while just gathering materials

            • Tiberius Raikage

              Even minimum i wouldn’t have said 15 days, 7 maybe. It’s all dependent on how much free time you have, and how good the dungeon team is. I run those dungeons in the space of about 3 hours a night after work.

  • Luthan

    What would be the estimated total cost if you buy all the stuff(at current TP prices or NPC prices)? And what other ways are there if you only look for stats(I heard fractals – how much does it take fo farm there in time estimated? I usuall don’t to fractals and don’t know).

    • Revelation Knight

      About 3750 gems at current exchange rates (200 gold) or around $45.

  • Vilkatis

    is it infused?i mean does it have 2 slots for ar?

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/Guideranger Guideranger .

    Although they have great stats and look great, they will be like Fractal weapons. You can get them if you want but you won’t see that much because of the cost and time. What do you think guys.

    • Steven Lin

      It actually doesn’t cost much the recipe for it is like 1 gold and its just 50 gold something you can earn within the 15 days of waiting for the mats timer

      • http://www.youtube.com/user/Guideranger Guideranger .

        Well you have a point because maybe the overall price might be about 70-80 gold, but the main thing is the Dragonite Ore. Not many people do WvW or camp for bosses.

        • http://www.youtube.com/user/Guideranger Guideranger .

          And if i am not mistaken the Dragonite Ore problem might be solved because the Giant Wintersday Gifts are dropping them

          • Steven Lin

            dragonite ores arent that much of a problem just do guild missions and world events I rarely camp for them.

  • AlexDelux

    Is the stat selection limited to the ones already existing for the other ascended backpieces?

  • Nipenthis

    This was a good chance to allow Jewelcrafting 500, instead of giving these to the armor crafetrs, but whatever. I wonder whether they can be infused.

  • Rotten

    Can these be infused?

  • Odin the exiled

    Are all the stat combo’s there? Like for example carrion or valk, can we finally get one of those stat combo’s through these 2 backpieces?

  • Treetrunks

    This is off topic but what armor is your character wearing in those pics of the dwayna back piece? I can t find it!

    • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

      AC leggings + invaders top from wvw vendor

  • Tasemi

    Hello Dulfy, please can you tell us what stat combos we can choose from new backs. Can i get for instance celestial stats?

    • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

      Let me ask someone who has it and get back to you

      • Neia

        Any update on this? q.q

        • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

          Yes all the stats are available I think. Celestial, Soldier, Carrion etc are definitely there. Not too sure about Sentinel.

          • Paipuff

            The list of stat options.

            • http://dulfy.net/ Dulfy

              Cool, ty :)

  • Sar

    Great guide! However, after looking at it closer the reciepe should be 1500 Silk Scraps not 4500 Silk Scraps for the Raw materials listed in the Damask part.

    • Sar

      Oops my bad. I thought it was Bolts of Silk listed. 1500 Bolts = 4500 scraps. So it is correct.

  • Netster

    Crafted the Light of Dwayna but can’t upgrade it to an infused version. GG Anet.

    • Revelation Knight

      Wow seriously, super fail.
