Should I start filling out my weapons HoM now? - Guild Wars Forums

Darmikau · Mar 03, 2012, 05:07 AM // 05:07

I'm really close to 50/50, I only need a few minis, a PvP title, and 9 weapons. I planned on doing RA for the PvP title, and then selling all my zkeys and strongboxes to afford the weapons.

But now I'm starting to run into problems. Diamonds have gone up, more than doubled in price I believe, and it seems like they're still going up. I should have enough to fill out my HoM now if I buy all destroyer weapons (though I originally wanted to include a few torms because I like them, and would have had the money). Is there some non-HoM factor making diamonds go up, or is it because GW2 is imminent? Do you think they're going to keep going up, and I should buy now, or is it just a bubble that might burst?

Honestly, at this point, torm weapons are starting to look more attractive. Destroyer weapons are now closer to 70-80k, compared to when they were 50-60k when I started collecting zkeys. Torm weapons I really don't seem to understand, they seem to be going for the same amount of Ecto (21-23), even though ecto have gone up in price by 3k. I'm not sure if people are eating up torm weapons because of GW2, or if they're just stupid and aren't adjusting for ecto inflation.

What do you guys think? Should I start pumping out my weapons now, or hope they drop back down in price?

I guess its too late now, but I'm still hoping they add the latest WOC golds to the HOM to ease the strain. Don't forget about opressor weapons too. They've gone up a little, but not a lot. But it does seem like its something thats better done now, rather than later.

I'm in a similar position.

I would go for Oppressor weapons, they are still cheap IMO, which is why I am not selling mine yet.

I'd ditch the idea of getting Gladiator title for HoM as the PvP one, unless you're already at least halfway there. Getting r3 Zaishen is much easier and faster, as well as, eventually, may be simply bought.
I'd ignore the Tormented Weapons besides the required one if getting high HoM count is your priority. You can spend saved money on ZKeys rather than Torm Weapons, unless you're really THAT hooked by their looks.
As people above me said, don't forget about Oppressor Weapons. Not only they're cheapest, but also easily farmable, especially if you have several toons with WiK available.

Yeah, I had forgotten about Oppressor weapons. I'll look into that, I like them a lot, though I don't often see people selling them.

As for the PvP title, it's Gladiator or bust. I'm only 600 points away, and if I use my Zkeys rather than selling them I won't be able to afford filling out my Weapons/Pets.

I would use the zkeys to get your PvP title, everything else takes too long.

Do vsf runs, fow, or just heroways of slavers, you build up some diamonds and onyx that way. I don't really like grinding wik content but opp weapons would probably take less time.

On the subject of oppressor weapons, I find it much easier to just buy War Supplies for 300g each. Stand in Lions Arch for an hour or two after the quest changes daily and you should get enough rapidly.
