Got my first set long before SF farming, got it through VwK smite farming, powertrading, and spreading it out over a long period (first helmet, then boots + legs few months later, then finally chest and gloves a few months after that) so patients was the key for me

Second set for my para I shamelessly admit to having farmed up over 1 weekend with SF

Ghen · Jul 06, 2008, 05:11 AM // 05:11

hmm , farmed titan gems when they were worth something

Evil_Necro · Jul 06, 2008, 07:34 AM // 07:34

SF's Greens, griffons, and Ettins..

That's all ^^

was waaaaaay back though

Horus · Jul 06, 2008, 07:37 AM // 07:37

never had one

Wanted one before EotN was released, but then just made a better combo myself

Now they are way too common for my taste, so i f i will get one, it will be because of HoM

in my collection obsidian armor will be last probly most ugliest expensive armor imo

tipiak · Jul 08, 2008, 09:00 AM // 09:00

Just made one for my mez, the others are just plain ugly to me. Got it with trade mostly. I just hate farming.

Arduin · Jul 08, 2008, 09:31 AM // 09:31

-Farming Ettins for their runes somewhere in 2005.
-Getting some nice Stormbow drops during UW-questing.

Took me a few months to collect all the money. Never knew about monks solo-ing the UW untill they got nerfed hard

I went to the armor crafter with the materials and pressed the "craft" button a few times ...

Yeah, shocking i know, but that's how i got my FoW armor.

Nestaron · Jul 08, 2008, 11:32 AM // 11:32

Never have and never will buy it... Had all the oppertunities in the world but i don't like the armor enough to warrant spending hundreds of thousands of gold.

isildorbiafra · Jul 08, 2008, 11:36 AM // 11:36

Powertraded like crazy for 2 months! Farmed till i had 100k; than started trading mostly rare mods/ inscriptions. Sundering/ Fortitude sword mods, Luck of the draw and Forget me Not. Made 5k to 15k profit on each! On peak moments sometimes 10 per hour. Than started power trading ectos when i got my first million. Bought (in ToA) and sold (Kamadan/ Lions Arch) them by the stack. Made up to 4 million k in 2 months. Bought a Stygian Reaver 1 month before the release of EotN for 600 ecto! You know the rest....Got so upset that i gave up on trading all together. Now title hunting is all that matters; but nothing... I repeat; nothing beats the power trade.... except for the once in a lifetime lucky drop.

First set, some 2.5 years ago, was and *is* the only Obsidian armor I like. Female Mesmer. I rarely play her, but I've 55-monked Hydras, Trolls, Griffons and Giants by the thousands to get her that armor.

Second set, 8 months ago, female monk. Bought it just to display it in HoM. It's too ugly to be seen wearing one. Although, I'm thinking of dyeing it black, getting a ninja mask, Chaos Gloves and a Tormented Shield once I get my GWAMM. Also, buying a larger monitor that can display my e-peen correctly.

pumpkin pie · Jul 08, 2008, 02:27 PM // 14:27

still collecting materials and I wander when ROFL, cos I don't go to elite mission area .... we shall see if ectos drop from the sky in shing jea.

Xalkie · Jul 08, 2008, 02:30 PM // 14:30

farmed 80% of mats. ( I used to live in UW/FoW), Then Sorrows Furnace came out, so I farmed there for awhile, sold the greens, then bought the rest of the mats

Trub · Jul 08, 2008, 02:38 PM // 14:38

My Guild Leader gave me the boots and gloves (Rit) for my birthday..

That was when rit and ass'n FoW came out.
Prettiest parts of the Rit armor IMHO.

haha I remember Beetledun and farming the Ettins for there ruins in 05... thats how I started making my money than I just started buying and selling stuff and a few lucky drops from UW and FoW, I remember getting a few gold Chaos axes and selling them for like 50k-80k....

MrSlayer · Jul 09, 2008, 09:26 AM // 09:26

My first set, R/Me solo forest runs + stored cash from back in the old days of Minotaur 55 farming...took a while.

My second set, I did UW 55/SS and 600/Smite + FoW 600/Smite + 55 farming here and there. I got a donation from a friend of a large number of ectos shortly before he quit the game, so that helped.

My third set, I 600/Smite for the gloves and boots, and then did A/E and got the final 2 pieces in as many days.

Odinius · Jul 09, 2008, 10:57 AM // 10:57

Three accounts and three months of Zaishen key selling finally got me the armor.
Our guild consists of three people, we don't farm or ever buy expensive stuff but the recent higher Zaichen Key prices got all of us FoW.
Next few months of keys are for weapons in the hall.

[edit] Oh, the keys are from predictions only because we "lack the skill" to do proper PvP

Rakim B · Jul 09, 2008, 01:10 PM // 13:10

55'ing undead outside of Bergen Hotsprings. 10-20k an hour, took a month to get armor + shiney hands

Knight O Cydonia · Jul 09, 2008, 01:23 PM // 13:23

Got a Voltaic Spear drop in the first few weeks of EotN which paid for 90% of mine. I doubt I would have ever been able to afford it otherwise as farming isn't my cup of tea.
