-Put one +AR infusion in each ring and +8 AR infusions in the remaining infusion slots+Put one +AR infusion in all the infusion slots of each ring (try to attune and infused them).
  
-Put +7 AR infusions on every ascended weapon (1 for one-handed weapons, 2 for two-handed weapons). You will only get the benefit of AR in infusions in the active weapon set.  We put the cheapest infusions in the weapons because you need separate infusions for each weapon that you are using and, with weapon swapping, this will mean at least 4 infusions, more if you use other weapons sometimes or want to use ascended underwater weapons.+Put +7 AR infusions on every ascended (or legendary if you are fancy) weapon (1 for one-handed weapons, 2 for two-handed weapons).

 Personally, I think these are a waste of money.  A +9 AR infusion that also provides +5 attribute points is a lot more expensive than a regular +9 AR infusion.  Focus on getting 150 AR first and then if you really want to push for getting potentially another 18 x 5 = 90 power or condition damage or whatever, then gradually start collecting them. Personally, I think these are a waste of money.  A +9 AR infusion that also provides +5 attribute points is a lot more expensive than a regular +9 AR infusion.  Focus on getting 150 AR first and then if you really want to push for getting potentially another 18 x 5 = 90 power or condition damage or whatever, then gradually start collecting them.
