Do you have to acend now before.....

......you can use forge armor because of the lastest update?

before you can enter the fissure or underworld
I didn't see anything about a limitation to the armors

I thought whole idea from the update was so only ascened players could get the armor and those with it?

No I just got a set of forge armor for my unascended ranger and it works just fine.

Um, how'd you do that since you can't enter FoW unascended?

He did it before the patch

Is this a question about the armor you can get at Droknars Forge, or the forge you get to by entering the FoW and doing quests? Anyone with 10k (2-3 for the run, 7-8 for the materials/actual armor cost) can get droknars forge armor once they get to beacons perch, but with the new patch you have to be ascended to be able to get to the FoW and the expensive armor it contains.

notice the difference:
Fissure of Woe
Droknar's Forge.

duh.

ya i just did..
Sorry, sleepy =)
