Thumbs up What should I get first?

Well, I have about..what, 40k in the bank?

And I am a Dervish thinking about getting Ancient armor.

But another friend suggested getting the end game Primeval armor for my Dervish instead. But isn't Primeval so common? I think so. What do you think? Ancient or Primeval? I only going to get one of the two because I'm not too fond of the other Prestige armor choices. Keep in mind that my character is a female in gender, this may change your thought on the looks.

I need help please! Thanks.

Although primevil is more common, imo i would say that is because it looks better.

something just doesnt quite look right about the female ancient derv armour. but its completely your choice.

Of course it isn't, I never said it was.

I can get the 10k in one day.

That wasn't my question.

ok before ppl start arguing with OP, i could mention i have been saving for elite armour, have X amount in the bank atm, doesnt effect what i think looks best, he was simply stating.

so probs best to just post opinions on which looks best like he asked

as stated above i think the primeval looks best, ancient head piece just looks weird

hope that helps

I don't see why so many people hate Ancient. It looks Egyptian, what do you all have against Egypt? Racists! *should mention JOKE before I get flamed*

I say Ancient, I personally like the look more and it is not seen as much as the Black, White, Grey, Red, Blue, Purple, or whatever color Primeval. I swear Primeval is the most common armor, why get it?

But still, get whatever you want. Price isn't an issue for you, so the fact that Ancient is 25k less doesn't matter. I vote for Ancient. *Ancient Egyptian look FTW!*

If you want to be a gaint chicken on steriods (just avoid fast food places) get ancient. If you want the most common dervish armor get primevil, go for a mix, of the two or mabey some 1K armors to look unique

I only like Elite Sunspear for female Derv's personally, so there's my two cents... I think all the other elite dervish armours are quite fugly.

Pick the one you like. Nobody gives a rat's ass if it's common or not. Most FoWs look ugly but people buy them because of e-peen and it's "rarity"
And by nobody I mean nobody mentally older than an 8 year old.

Save your money and your bone (hehe) and buy the elite armor. Or spend it on whatever makes you happy and problem solved.

But since you are asking the community I say you spend the 40k on salvage kits.

It all depends and which do you think looks better on you. I for one don't care how common or uncommon my armor selection is. I just wear it because It's my style. So buy an armor that matches your sense of style for your character.

I think you should perhaps save around 100k or more...just to have some money extra money.

if you were a male derv i would say primeval...

i always liked vabbian on the female dervs, even though its a little more expensive

but if yer really torn between ancient and primeval, i would go ancient, because its cheaper and less common

Primeval looks better than ancient so buy primeval. Who cares if you'll look the same as every other dervish... At least you're looking cool while doing it.

Get Obsidian since Primeval should be banned and I don't know anything about Ancient.

If you can't afford Obsidian get Vabbian, if you can't afford that and have a male dervish..just delete and make a female, but if that's out of the question, get Ancient. Primeval is phoop. Yes phoop. Say it with a ffff sound.
