Hero Armor Upgrades - Guild Wars Forums

Kymeric · Mar 30, 2012, 07:42 PM // 19:42

Hello, all. I'm looking for some advice.

I've upgraded and dedicated all heroes that can be upgraded with Stolen Sunspear Armor and Cloths of the Brotherhood. Combined with the animal companion, Black Moa, Phoenix and MOX, that has me at 19/20 in the Honor Monument.

Does anyone have advice on the easiest way to get that last armor upgrade (aside from just buying one)? After Dajkah Inlet and Glint's Challenge, what's the next easiest/quickest challenge to run for an upgrade?

Thanks!

You could look at the different challenge missions yourself. The only one which I found dificult was the Primeval armor remnants because DoA is though.

Go with Ancient armor remnants because I don't remember what to do for mysterious, don't think that was much of a hassle either, but ancient is definitely quite easy once you get the hang of it.

The Remains of Sahlahja challenge mission is relatively easy once you get the hang of it. There are some decent videos online detailing the run and showcasing how to be successful. I know for myself when mapping the area for cartog I got 4 armor drops through that alone, so you shouldn't have too much trouble there. A health regen and/or speed boost consumable will also make the run much simpler.

The Shadow Nexus mission for Mysterious armor pieces isn't too bad either, though I personally had poorer drops there. You could roll a discord team through much of there if you don't have a decent 4 man build and use that to get your pieces.

Deldrimor pieces and Primeval will be tougher as they require Slaver's or DoA to obtain them, but they are doable as well. The first two options would be easier though, generally.

Shadow Nexus is easiest after Dajkah Inlet, no question. Got one on {EDIT:each of} the only two runs I did there (stopped 'cos I had hit 15 in the display and stopped for the day. Really gonna have to go back soon to spend an hour or so to get armor for Norgu, Goren, and Zenmai, but I'm lazy :P)

Thanks for the feedback. I never picked up Discord, so I decided to do Sahlahja. Man Sahlahja is a PITA to get the hang of. I almost gave up and decided to just go cap Discord so I could try SN when I finally got my Ancient Armor Remnant at 52 points.

Thanks again!

Five more to go to 30/50!
