dervish armor - Guild Wars Forums

populationcontrol · Jul 13, 2007, 01:04 AM // 01:04

so i just started making a dervish but before i spend whatever the cost to buy the vabian or end game armor i was wondering if they plan to release dervish armor within prophecies (which i own as well). the reason i ask is i saw in the armor stubs ritualist ancient armor thats looks like a mummy and a 15k knights armor just appeared in prophecies. not only would i like to consider the new designs if they are going to release new dervish armor but also i hate having to advance the night fall plot yet again to get to places to craft armor when in prophecies you could get run to crafting places.

How far are you into the game that you have to start worrying about armors?

Mournblade · Jul 13, 2007, 01:14 AM // 01:14

Dervishes are class specific to Elona. They won't have armor in Cantha or Tyria.

You can get Fissure armor though.

No, they don't plan to release dervish armor within prophecies.

PS- They must really be some sick freaks to make you actually play the game to get what you want.

They won't ever have armor in the Prophecies areas of the game (except fissure which is core to all the games) for dervishs, paragons, ritualists or assassins, however they WILL have armor in EotN, 40 unique sets to be exact, 4 per class.

yeah but it still doesnt make sense that they would only do an armor set for ritualist in night fall if they werent going to do the same for dervish in facitons and prophecies, seems to me they were over eager to make the mummy outfit and released it before the others.

Each campaign has armour for the classes that can be created in that campaign.

For each new campaign you can get armour for the classes in the campaign before it. (Probably as an attraction to players that have previous campaigns.)

What I would be thinking about more is what the armour in GW:EotN will be like, rather than wondering if they will add armour for your class into a previous campaign. (Which as has been said they probably won't.)

Well it makes sense if you ask me, Rits and Assassins were already out when Nightfall rolled around, so they decided to throw a couple armors for both in. To give something for Factions classes. Dont expect new armors in proph.

In EOTN though there will be 4 new armors. (each class gets 4)

I hope they get rid of the paragon man skirt thing going on there.

yea, like half of the male versions of the proffesions wear skirts but the paragons i just dont know what it is about their's. they just show a litle too much leg.

The male para and rit 'skirts' don't bother me - I guess cause my toons have such great gams. lol

Having finally made my 1st derv yesterday, I have to say I find the ankle-length jobbies just, well, awkward. I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually.

I started to make the derv last week but ended up making another rit instead, being put off by the pics of the armor on the wiki. Having now made him, the armor looks better in-game than the pics suggest, though it still feels ungainly, like when I'm running I want to stow my scythe and reach down and pick up the hem - now, that would be a cool animation, huh?!!

One thing I discovered: I like the Istani top (cause it shows off my nicely muscled arms) but prefer the Elonian leggings. Leave it to Anet to insure that these different types take dye differently, so that dying them both the same color results in a subtle mismatch of shades.
