Fractals of the Mists Guides

Learn Every Fractal

Specific Fractal Timestamps

Note that the Fractal “Numbers” (such as volcanic being “1”) have shifted with the addition of Sunqua, but all other information in this guide is still accurate. Recent additions (such as Sunqua and Silent Surf) have their own vids to the right!

Challenge Mode Fractal Guides

Nightmare

For those who want more challenge and more reward, this is a guide to the challenge mode of the Nightmare Fractal in tier 4. A few mechanics have increased in difficulty, but every boss can drop mystic coins and other highly desired bonus loot!

Shattered Observatory

For those who want more challenge and more reward, this is a guide to the challenge mode of the Shattered Observatory Fractal in tier 4. A few mechanics have increased in difficulty, but every boss can drop mystic coins and other highly desired bonus loot! This one is a noticeable step up from Nightmare CM so I recommend doing that one first!

Silent Surf

Sunqua Peak

For those who want more challenge and more reward, this is a guide to the challenge mode of the Sunqua Peak Fractal in tier 4. This fractal is ONE very challenging boss fight. If you can defeat her you will get all the fractals loot at once.

Gearing up for Fractals

 
 

A guide to all the ways to get ascended gear (top stats) after you have hit level 80. Let me show you the different routes you can choose to take!

 Legendaries Obtained from Fractals

 

Ad Infinitum is the legendary backpack option obtained through doing many Fractals.

 

Hybrid Soulbeast Fractal Build

 
 

If you play ranger this is a build I personally love to run in fractals. It does a combination of power and condition damage and is still viable today.

 Quick-Heal Scrapper

 

This PvE Healing scrapper build is a favorite of mine, and your groups will love superspeed and stealth gyro’ing past half the fractal in record time.

 

Support Scourge

 

This build doesn’t provide much in the way of boons but refuses to let allies die. Can be used to hard carry groups if someone else provides the buffs.
