Wait...so it's possible to add mods to armor now? - Guild Wars Forums

thesecondrei · May 04, 2006, 04:55 AM // 04:55

Is it true you can add your own mods (such as +5 energy or +15 defense while attacking etc.) on armor? If so, how do I do it?

Savio · May 04, 2006, 05:56 AM // 05:56

No, it's not true. What Factions armor allows you to do is pick any style of armor you want along with any modifications. For example, you can get a Gladiator's Canthan Hauberk, which has the Canthan armor look and Gladiator's armor stats.

thesecondrei · May 04, 2006, 04:41 PM // 16:41

Oh I see, so where do I go to choose which modification I want? Is it listed in the armory screen when you talk to one of the armorers?

Nite_Creeper · May 04, 2006, 04:52 PM // 16:52

Yes, the armorer has a long list of armors to choose from. There are 3 armorer, each with a different style in town. The stats are the same for each armorer, and they allow you pick many more choices(ie +15 armor while attacking, + energy, reduced bleeding, etc.)

Nice! So which mod would you recommend for a warrior?

Dove_Song · May 04, 2006, 05:28 PM // 17:28

depends heavily on your playstyle

So...just to be clear I can get Sentinel looking armor with Gladiator's stats? Thanks.

Scary Raebbit · May 04, 2006, 05:58 PM // 17:58

Yes, you can get Sentinel looking armor with Glad stats in two towns. (1.5 and 15k.)

So is sentinel a mod or appearance? I thought sentinel was a mod to choose from a list of armors that gave 100 al with 13 str req...

NatalieD · May 06, 2006, 09:07 AM // 09:07

Sentinel is the mod. During the second preview weekend, the Sentinel PVP armor was given the Kurzick appearance. It has a different appearance now, and the Kurzick look is PVE-characters-only and not tied to any mod. But some people still think of it as the Sentinel appearance since that's how they first saw it.

is it the same with all prof's or are there lots of different mods?

fb2000 · May 06, 2006, 10:08 AM // 10:08

each profession has its own armor model. all armor types (diff mods or whatever u want to call it) look the same, ie, use that model

hope i helped

Each individual crafter is like the FoW crafter. He has all the diff types of armour available, all with his individual crafting skin.
So a Glads chest from him would look the same as a Legionnaire's chest.
But from another crafter, those armours would have a different skin.
