At the moment I dont have fow, but i have 90 ecto, 90 shards, 500K cash and chaos gloves. I think i made most money just farming random things like: Zelnelun Fastfoot (b4 lootscale), did some fow solo as necro, did the Halycon job farm as necro and sold the rares unid (still works wonder imo), farmed ectos with my war, made bout 100k by running 5 people through THK with the bundletanking, farmed Darkflame dryders (easy kills reassonable loot), did ids farms. And lately I made bout 200k trading braces and another 50k or so from farming raptors for 2 hours on event weekend. I think this is a pretty neat thread since we all can get ideas about how to make the money for a FoW armor. Cheers,

It was ressed to discuss what to farm post-lootscaling. Nice res too, there's some nostalgia to be had in the first few pages.

Stacks of cash to be made running CoF, event weekends, unid golds from Raptors, HFFF...

I'm yet to do DoA/UW/FoW Ursan runs (i just want the mini monkey and HoM statues), i get the impression the nerfbat is coming based on the new Community Manager's wiki page, so now's the time to do it.

I bought my fow armor this week by my OLD TROLL FARM profits left over golds.(Like 100k or so) I joined the game nealy a year later so I never farmed UW All the rest was mad by raptor farm. I feel myself so fool. I wasted so long time for my fow now IM a poor person only 50k in storage. I wished I didnt bought and had many cons for making everyone lovve me by supplying the hm fow runs

I farmed greens and tomes.
And just played normal PvE, which generates lots of money.

Bought my FoW ranger armor in october/november 2005, when ectos was around 13k.

I farmed uw a lot with small trapper teams (4 people max) and fow spider cave with my war.
And before the AoE nerf I used to farm desert griffons outside Augury, trolls outside Droknar and minotaurs in Elona Reach.

Killing 20/25 griffons in 1 minute with balthazar's aura was total pwnsauce.

if the vast majority of FoW armor wasnt so ugly, maybe there would be a reason to get it.

but to get it on my necro (the one good set imo), ectos.

I wouldn't say all sets look ugly as it depends on the char. who wear them.I was told that my Monk would look great with FoW.

I got my first FoW from farming Titan gems when it still seemed worth it. I got my second FoW set the weekend HM came out and i got a r9 and r10 colossal scimitar farming corsairs outside of the astralarium.

i've decided to go for a 3rd FoW set..but theres not a great way to make money anymore besides weekend festivals. i made ~400k during the last festival, and i know some made A LOT more. i think if you want a quick and easy way to get FoW..just wait till the next festival and farm nonstop. it'll be boring..but it'll probably be the fastest way to do it.
