What are the different ways to get ascended gear? - Top view of white ceramic plate with colorful drawings of sushi and rolls placed on wooden table

I came back to Guild Wars 2 after a long period, and at that time exotic was the highest tier for armor and weapons, but now ascended gear exists in those slots.

I found out that the normal way to get ascended gear is to level armorsmith and weaponsmith to 500 and craft them, creating account bounded gear.

As crafting isn't really my thing, I would like to avoid it as much as possible, so is there any other way to get ascended gear ?
