You can sell them for more than 1k, i found some guy in ascalon asking people what is the best way to make gold. I traded him 10 FFS and told him to go sell them for 10k each and give me half of what he makes and i will give him 10 more . 20 min laters he told me he had 50k for me never saw him after that not suprised he probably found out where to get them and cut out the middle man and make a bigger profit.

FFS > HoD Sworrd

I'd rather say HoD sword is an expensive alternative to all those who don't understand how good the FFS is. hehe

Gydion · Mar 17, 2006, 08:31 AM // 08:31

Pardon my ignorance, but why is the newest version of the FFS still considered a good weapon for 55 monks? Is it soley for the 10% chance of half skill recharge? Or is there some hidden mod I'm not seeing? I'm currently using the collectors Flame Wand with +5 energy and several other blue mods. Obviously older versions are better but those have probably skyrocketed in price. Is the 10% or 15% longer enchantment FFS still being traded away from collectors?

Ghost Recon · Mar 17, 2006, 02:58 PM // 14:58

You are getting 10% recharge but you can also add a +20% enchatments mod to it, making it great for any 55hp monks. I prefer it too a HoD sword as i never go below 50% energy anyways, so how would i benefit from a HoD sword?

Da Cebuano · Mar 18, 2006, 07:01 PM // 19:01

HoD sword is popular cause it has been "removed" therefore its "awesome" and people always want the 1 thing alot of people don't have or can't get anywhere. Its a mentality thing.

Tigers Anger · Mar 18, 2006, 07:46 PM // 19:46

IMO, FFS > HoD because 5 energy isn't all that useful. I would much rather have the recharge on my spellbreaker/shield of judgement.

It all depends on where you solo, generally I can kill an entire mob with one SoJ... period..

Lets talk about "hard" parts of the game... your 10% recharge isn't gonna mean S H I T in the ONLY place it matters UW....and the ONLY time I would even need to cast a 2nd spell breaker would be in the chaos planes (when I don't have a support monk running echo spell breaker).... you better belive that +5 energy is way more important here then a 10% recharge on SB... mainy because you're gonna be praying that you have enough energy for prot spirit (again unless you have a support monk running echo spell breaker, but if you don't then its all about energy management).

They're easy to get, but I'd get tons of people who just want to see what it is, then you get the noobs who call you a "noob" for selling it for 1k. "That's a peice of crap you noob! No one would buy that junk for 1k!" I used to try to explain, but then I thought, "why should I?" The market wasn't bad though. Often times I'd go to Augury or ToA and announce, "WTS Fiery Flame Spitter - 1k," and immediately sell 5 or 6.

I think if a "noob" calls you the noob for selling a weapon at the price it's supposed to be at or even lower , they are the noob, just ignore them and they will go away, just like traveling salesman or old girlfriends you don't want to talk to

or even ignore them, i hate when a "true noob" calls you a noob because they are bored im just saying this because some people need a little more help getting rid of annoying pests that like getting on your nerves, i've had a noob pming me saying "why are you selling that max dmg sword at such a low price when you can get much more for it "i said once that i dont need the money and some people need the sword more then i need the money, or u can just press {N} on your keyboard and you can "go offline" for a while like 10 mins and the person will probly leave you alone. I'm glad if i helped you or if i haven't and if this makes no sense im sorry.

Just a technical point, but unless things changed it's 2% chance for a 4x recharge and 26% chance for 2x recharge. FFS > HoD

So I'd say in best case that HoD is a backup weapon for when you need energy, NOT a primary casting weapon (unless you have some twisted idea of what "better" means

)

1x 0.2 chance of 50% faster cast recharge, = 0.2 chance
0.2 x 0.1 chance of 50% faster casting - 0.02 chance = 2%, Yes

its 30% chance of 2x btw... 20% + 10% = 30%

Well technically its 28%, with 2% being 4x...

if my memory serve my right. it would not help you if you had the FFs. they did not discounted it. they change them all to 10%. i mean even if you had it from that time. it would be 10% now.
only one i sew with 15% after the update was this
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...d.php?t=132997

Chance of both mods activating for 1/4 skill recharge: 20% * 10% = 2%.
Chance of neither mod activating for normal recharge: 80% * 90% = 72%.
Chance of one mod activating for 1/2 skill recharge: 100% - 2% - 72% = 26%.

yeah lol for a sec i thought you picked the sword, even though it can be cool as 55 weapon

Senator Tom · Apr 03, 2006, 01:42 PM // 13:42

didnt feel like going through 8 pages of posts, but i heard that you can only get it while you have favor, which is not true. (the ffs, not the plasma)
