Collector for TOWER / GOTHIC shields? - Guild Wars Forums

Is there a collector where we can get perfect TOWER / GOTHIC shields from?

Doomlord_Slayermann · Jun 24, 2006, 03:55 AM // 03:55

Not that I could find on guildwiki. The collectors (as far as I know, at least) all offer Bronze Shields.

TsunamiZ · Jun 24, 2006, 08:38 AM // 08:38

then is must be nearly impossible to get a nice skin shield w perfect stats, since u cant even mod shields...

Doomlord_Slayermann · Jun 24, 2006, 03:22 PM // 15:22

Um, yeah. Welcome to Guild Wars.

MrScaRy · Jun 24, 2006, 03:52 PM // 15:52

well if you want to get a nice skinned shield you could try take a look at the greens.

TsunamiZ · Jun 24, 2006, 09:59 PM // 21:59

so its possible to get perfect modded pve weapons of every skin, etc. but not shields of every skin??

Doomlord_Slayermann · Jun 24, 2006, 10:10 PM // 22:10

No, it is definitely possible to get a perfect gold shield of any skin. They are just hard to find and quite expensive if you buy them.

TsunamiZ · Jun 24, 2006, 10:19 PM // 22:19

more expensive than perfect weapons i suppose?

Doomlord_Slayermann · Jun 24, 2006, 10:31 PM // 22:31

Depends on the skin, but in about the same price range.

A crappy skin should run you around 50-100k for a perfect, but a really nice one can get up into the millions, such as a magmas. If you dont ahve the cash, get a green. Victos is the best green IMO.

Don Zardeone · Jun 25, 2006, 03:30 AM // 03:30

Perfect gold shields with nice skins are in the 500k+ range.
I suggest looking on auctions a lot. To me it seems like perfect shields, compared to non-perfects, are sold at a 1/500 ratio
Their skinrarity and on top of that, their stat rarity, make them more expensive than one might think.

TsunamiZ · Jun 25, 2006, 12:22 PM // 12:22

geez, anet should really make shield mods to balance the prices out w weapons...

Doomlord_Slayermann · Jun 25, 2006, 12:29 PM // 12:29

If you really want perfect stats, get a green shield or a collector's one. Vanity in Guild Wars always has been and always will be expensive (see: FoW armor). ArenaNet should not and will not change it because it is by far the biggest gold sink in the economy. Making all the good skins affordable could lead to hyperinflation (if you're not an economist, just know that it's a bad thing).

just a comment, i LOVE the exalted aegis skin! also has good "mods" (if thats what ya wanna call it) thats less than 100k

if u wanted to c it...http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Exalted...Unique_item%29
^there^

TsunamiZ · Jun 25, 2006, 09:41 PM // 21:41

but considering you can get perfect weapons and off hands of every skin...but not perfect shields of every skin? that doesnt feel right, since shield users have a much harder time getting the perfect shield of their skin...

For the last time, you CAN get a perfect shield. They do exist. Check the "Sel" forum here or LA district 1 if you don't believe me. Also, you can craft perfect shields or get them from collectors quite easily. Vanity is expensive, and that's how it should be.

TsunamiZ · Jun 26, 2006, 02:34 AM // 02:34

seems much cheaper getting perfect shield of your fav skin, than a shield...

I often wonder if the voices in your head are speaking to you in pig latin?

It is possible to get any skinned shield in perfect stats. Yes, you may have to pay more for it.

TsunamiZ · Jun 26, 2006, 02:47 AM // 02:47

500k-1m for a perfect shield? thats too much ... they should be at the same obtainable level as perfect weapons
