Obsidian Armour
Hey all
I'm considering getting myself some obsidian armour on my Dervish. I'm just wondering how much it is all together, i've worked it out as 1000k+ roughly, but I want to know how much it cost other people and how you went about getting all the money. Thanks in advance Deathlike |

Lets see when I got it (after about 13 months of farming and some really bad timing) it was worth
105* 9K for ectos 945K 105*2.7K for shards 283K 60K + other materials ~ 1.2 million. Now I had about 60 ecto at the time but prices were starting to shoot up so i paniced dropped all my funds and got it. A week later ectos were like 5K :/ could have got 2 sets if i had waited a week lol |

At (roughly) todays prices: 742.5k - 847.5K Plus Materials
Ecto 4.5k - 5k * 105 = 472.5k - 525k Shards: 2k - 2.5k * 105 = 210k - 262.5k base cost: 60K Last edited by Kook~NBK~; Mar 14, 2008 at 04:34 PM // 16:34.. |

Lets see...I think I spent around 80k on ectos (I farmed the rest), and about 200 something on shards. The deldrimor I made myself, and the iron I got just by salvaging stuff from farming UW.
Things to keep in mind: If you don't like the hood, you can save 15 ectos/shards and still be able to display it in your hall (that's a little over 100k right there). It'll take longer to farm the ectos yourself, but it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay cheaper (and I believe there is a Dervish UW farm on pvxwiki). |

Yah if I were you i'd consider deciding on how many pieces you want. On my monk I just bought the chest+pants because the gloves and boots werent worth it really.
Same thing with my Sin I bought the chest+pants and am thinking of getting the gloves. :P Its much cheaper now then it was before so if you want to get fow armor now is a good time. |

I got my first fow armour after 5 months of playing.
Back then I did alot of 55 in Uw with my monk, Notice this was nearly two years. My first fow armor to complete was ofcourse male mesmer, then monk and war. I dont play as much no more, but when i farm now - It's fow/uw clearances, and slavers exile, Doa fullrun is also great. I remember that I didnt spend much money on other stuff, so save as much as u can always. |

The thing I hated about the D/mes was that a few times Balth would cancel itself while casting it again and then you would die pretty fast. If you have a warrior i'd consider using that build. It's pretty mindless but its so much safer then the dervish build. |

On average, I get 1-2 ecto per run.
However, I've had runs where I've gotten nothing, other runs I've gotten 4. However, even if you don't get any ectos, if you do the full run you usually get about 1.5-3k per run, so it will pay for itself (my ave. is around 1.5k though). |
