Tell me how to get glowy hands (please) - Guild Wars Forums

Lux Aeterna · Jun 30, 2009, 02:40 AM // 02:40

So I decided I want some of these, dyed red they'd look quite nice on my male warrior with his constantly changing armor mix. However after a little bit of research I noticed that the price is a rather exhorbitant 75e. It would take me a few months of selling zkeys from pvp to get the required 320k~ (assuming I didn't randomly buy other expensive things).

I've tried various methods of UW farming to little avail, and in general don't like to do any sort of pve.

Without redirecting me to the farming forum, how do I make enough to buy 75e within a reasonable timeframe ?

do pvp zquests (gvg, ha, ra,ta_ for balth faction.

Helix Dreadlock · Jun 30, 2009, 03:17 AM // 03:17

farm zaishen elite and trade 1:1.

"glowy" hands are only obtainable via PvE :P

(called chaos gloves)

No.

Eotn armor is not available from tolkano. It was in a stealth update for a little less than a week but they took it out. So unless you had tourney reward points during the three or so days they were in, you couldn't get them.

They were requested to be added a long time ago but I have no idea what happened with that. Someone told me the PvE community went crazy over how unfair it would be that PvP players would have access to it but I can't confirm it and it was probably just one of my friends being cranky like normal.

DarkNecrid · Jun 30, 2009, 04:09 AM // 04:09

A lot of the armor was bugged, I asked Linsey about it on Wiki and she said it would be coming back whenever they get the bugs worked out, apparently they are pretty complicated bugs.

I got my first pair of Chaos Gloves by farming feathers beleve it or not ,it took me about a week of farming a few hours a day,this was before i had gotten my Sin to a Underworld entry point,farming Feathers is probably one of the easiest methods of making decent money fast in the whole game.

Smarty · Jun 30, 2009, 09:19 AM // 09:19

(a) Roll a female ele and sell your body in GToB. All the "cool" kids are doing it. *Ahem*
(b) Play PvE anyway. You know you want to.
(c) l2powertrade aka rip off the noobs in Spamadan.
(d) Suck it up like the rest of us had to and wait for them.

But seriously, zquests (50e for a heavy pack?) and doing a lot of whichever form of PvP you win most often at are going to be your best bets for quick balth -> zkey -> ecto if you really can't face the thought of PvEing.

Zebideedee · Jun 30, 2009, 10:18 AM // 10:18

I got mine without being a farming or a zaishen specialist, I made the cash for mine whilst doing EotN books! got a decent frog sceptre and a few other rare drops (although even if you get similar drops now, thanks to farmers the worth of such items are flying south for the winter

).

The biggest problem for me was saving up, I almost had to nail my hands to the floor to stop me spending my cash, think I'm a spendaholic

Hollygen · Jul 01, 2009, 12:19 AM // 00:19

I'm working on chaos gloves at the moment, earning my gold by just playing through the game, doing ZQuests, missions, outinggs with guildies, etc.

I've found the trick for saving for the expensive items is not to get distracted by cheaper stuff on the way. the gold adds up. I find it helps to convert gold into the crafting materials sooner rather than later. Takes away the temptation
(Although a little voice tempts me by saying, why go just for glowy gloves, when you're on track for Rit FoW for just a few gold more)

Lo The Fallen · Jul 01, 2009, 01:38 AM // 01:38

....to tell you the truth, you just won't be able to accumulate the 312-350k
(Depending on how quickly you want your ectos) in a reasonable amount of time, i'll admit that each of my 5 current sets of chaos gloves took at least 10-12 hours of pve farming. Personally, i don't consider Farming a part of PvE
since i'm grinding for money rather than levels / the place i need to get to for armor, etc.

Some activites i did was:

As said above, farming feathers is a very good way for money
Tomb Of The Primeval Kings (Farm Ectos without the annoying 1k cost of UW/FoW)
PvPing for Z-Keys
saving every peice of gold you acquire
dungeon Running

Either way, you'll have to spend money to make money so if you don't like the dreadfully boring pvp grind for keys worth 3.5-3.8k, your going to have to make a perma sin or monk to make any kind of real money.

Btw running Frostmaws dungeon 3-5 times (with full party of non-fail noobs)
will get you chaos gloves in little under 6 hours.

Again, just opinions and hints...Hope this has helped =D

But even then you're kinda relying on luck. In 5 runs you still might have gotten nothing but onyx's and diamons.

I got my choas gloves in a few hours from uwsc lol

A runner makes money from the ppl he's running not from end-chest, in Frostmaws being 20-25k each,so no need for luck (except getting a full party of non-fail noobs)... :P

WTB q9 perfect strength Darkwing Defender.

I started a sin to hopefully do perma, and somebody in gtob gave me 2 zkeys for free, so I think I'm on a pretty good start.

How do you farm tomb of the primeval kings?

X-Plosiv · Jul 02, 2009, 10:57 AM // 10:57

I prefer to do this in TOPK (takes 4-6minutes)

Put SF, run right, stop, deadly charge up to terrors, kill 3 banished 3 terrors, refill , death charge to second gorup of terrors (again 3), and then kill them. takes about 4-6 minute for it..

Andemius · Jul 03, 2009, 10:42 AM // 10:42

I can't think of any better ways to get moolah than what ppl have alreay said, but just make sure you *really* want these gloves before buying them.

I had enough cash in storage and was plaaning to buy sweets from merch to finish the title.

Then i decided that i don't really wanna blow near enough 600k on a title that has no real benefit.

Just remeber, although they look nice, chaos gloves are just gloves
