What Armor Should I Get? - Guild Wars Forums

Kagome · Feb 12, 2008, 07:13 AM // 07:13

So I made it to the docks like my helpful repliers told me to, and I was wondering which armor I should get. I checked GuildWiki, and they are all so pretty! But what is the difference between each of them!? And how do I get the elite ones?

Sorry for asking so many questions! ><;

Only difference between them are the looks of it, so pick whatever you like best. You can mod it after you bought it, with runes and insignia. Incase you are wondering which insignia to get

, pick Survivor or Centurion's. You get the elite armors much later in game, don't worry about it now.

All max armours can be the exact same now with some modifications. The only differences are the looks and costs.

Your first set of elite armor can soon be gotten in the Command Center and after you unlock the elite armor NPCs by performing the non-primary quests (I forgot the name of the quests). When you do the basic quests for the command center you will have standard armor traders there with more choices of armors if you can hold off buying armor until then.

If you do get the Elite armor (15k) in the Command Center, you need more and more expensive materials as well as the 15k. End cost is about 60k + materials. So start saving up!

The next area with elite armor is in Vabbi (Kodash Bazaar) where the armor is 5k each, but material cost is greatly more expensive. If you choose to buy the materials from the traders, have about 200k saved up for the entire cost.

After that is in the Bone Palace for Ancient armor where the armors are 10k each piece and plus cost of materials.

Then last elite armor is in endgame area when you win and the armors there are 15k each + materials.

For sunspear 15K, it's building the base: prisonners of war.

If this is your first character, don't spend on elite armor just yet, there are probably other things you might need like skills for one example on which your money would be better spent. Start saving up now though if you intend to buy one, just don't make it your priority since it has the same stats as any max armor.

Along the command centre lines, I have a quick question, which may or may not help out the OP but will certainly help me: Can non Elona natives get to the Command Centre with the Elite Crafters there alone, or do they still need a ferry from an Elonan native?

As far as I know you don't need a ferry. My main character isn't an Elonian native, but he's beaten Nightfall, and has full access to the Command Center. Elite armors and everything. I never have to have a ferry to get there. So, once you do the quest you should have no problems with getting the armor if you want it. Hope that helps.
