+1 post.
There are plenty of great greens out there. They're for functionality, not aesthetic. Of course, all of this has been said before. The Unique list on either of the wikis are a great place to start to find what suits your fancy, be it heroes or self equipment.
If you're looking into the most desired trends in greens, look to Asterius' Scythe, Joffs' Focus, Totem Axe (always useful), Chaelse's Staff, Hajkor's Flame and the Yakslapper. Just to name a few.

Hahaha , that was a good one.

If this weekend drop dont affect chests greens ...... then farm whatever greens that have good stats or good skins. Not much out there but bleh .... 20/20 foci are still good.

And those are important why ?

How often do you look at your character worry about how it looks, for that matter how often do other players compliment you on your weapons or armour ?

The latest fantastic skin becomes old news very quickly and then everybody chases the new one.
I also happen to think that there are quite a few green items that have pretty good skins.

JimmyNeutron · Nov 15, 2009, 06:14 PM // 18:14

Am I the only one that knows about the green that is worth 100ectos???

Guess I'll be farming it along with The Ice Breaker for major ectos.

For the same reason nobody wears undyed 1k armor but wants to get elite armor and nice dyes. Looks are important to most if not all players.

On top of the things A F K listed, greens usually have bad mods. 20/20 foci/wands are always better in pvp and general pve. you don't need +30hp on foci/wands because you should have a shield set for pvp and pve anyway

Elitist nonsense. period. The OP asked for greens for heroes not something valuable to sell.

If I am looking for a particular weapon with particular stats, it doesn't matter one lick was color it is. Monsters die just the same. Half my toons run around with blue weps that I got off of collectors or from the Vasburg weapons gal. I am still shocked how many people are desperately looking for a 20k "Forget Me Not" inscription and not even remembering that 20/20 foci are readily available from very easily farmed collectors drops. (5 Dune Burrower Jaws = 20/20 death focus).

I farmed a bunch of Woe Spreaders and Ssynn's Staffs yesterday and dropped them for people during of Ruins of Morah runs. People were actually very appreciative.

CronkTheImpaler · Nov 16, 2009, 06:30 AM // 06:30

I think when its all said and done its all about the heros for me. I grabbed all need weapons for my heros. Got them all set up exactly how i wanted them. this took me maybe 1 hour of farming. i got the 6 greens i wanted for heros and their value is probably 15k.

Then i spent a few hours farmin totem axe and got a total of 19 ofthem. thats 100k for my trouble. all things being equal, i got the ones i wanted and a pile of those i know i can unload in minutes in LA with a little spammin.

Boring weekend pretty meh for making gold BUT itll do for an off weekend.

QFT. Most of my chars/heroes use collectors weapons or greens. They're cheap and/or easily obtained, and as good as any other weapon... except for their vanity value. If people want vanity items I can understand that, it's part of the game, and something to play for. It's just not for me :-D

BlueXIV · Nov 16, 2009, 10:33 AM // 10:33

I don't think the people looking for 20k forget me nots are buying it because they can't get a 20/20 focus... :|

really i didn't know about that well that's a better way to stock up the heroes, im going to go get some now lol

Plus i think Stonereaper and Zarnas wrath are good greens to farm bosses are pretty much next to each other and you can get 120 kurzick point each boss each run so that's nice

True, but it's amazing how many new (and not-so-new) players think that only green/gold items are good - at least I hear quite a lot in alliance chat people asking for a "good" [insert-item-name-here] and when you ask to define "good" they answer "green or gold" while if you ask for more details (a:-anybody got a good shield for my war?- b:-what kind of shield?- a:- green or gold - b:- req? - a:-any - b:-....) you find out they just need a temporary, any skin, r9, max, either insc or specifically modded item that can be easily obtained from a collector.

Personally I use collector/green items on heroes (they don't mind :P), not so much on my chars because greens are not dyeable - exception are greens that don't have gold-skinned version of them (drago's flatbow, exuro's will, staff of ruin, oola's wand, etc...) Some of those can still go for a good price to people that either collect such things or are simply interested in a unusual skin.

You'd be surprised. A lot of times I will reply to those people and offer them one to sell. When faced with the price, they reply "OMG it costs THAT much!?" After a brief conversation it deduce that they just need a 20/20 focus for their discord hero.

A little off track from this thread but IMO the easiest way to farm the 20/20 death focus is in the Elona Reach mission. If you enter the mission itself, immediately to the the right are two unprotected dune borrowers that can be taken down easily with just about any build. 20/20 WANDS are not available via collector trades so you can either get some of those as greens, Droknar's greens, blue crafted weapons in Vasburg Armory or Cavalon for 5k + materials, or just equipping a gold wep with the right mods (which aren't nearly as expensive as the ones for the focus).

Another nice one if you need a curses 20/20 focus is the Diamond Shaped Accursed Icon that you can trade Bleached Carapaces for (another easy farm in the desert). I like these because they are quite sizable for a focus and they can be dyed nicely.
