Uther Charrsbane · May 03, 2006, 10:29 AM // 10:29

Now i realy am confused now.

14^50 req 8 fellblade is worth like 100k+10ektos.

BUT a 15^50 fellblade req 8 too same mods lets say is worth like 100k+50ektos.

WTFWTFWTFTWTFWTF

y the hell do pple pay so much more for 1%??!!!(even in sunderng and furious)

help meeeeeeeee.

Kamatsu · May 03, 2006, 10:45 AM // 10:45

Basically people pay the extra for that 1% because its "perfect" and they have enough money to afford it.

the extra 1% does provide a small, small damage boost - but so little not to be really noticable much of the time. However, it's the fact it's "perfect".. that's it really. People pay extra for perfect weapons/mods..

Uther Charrsbane · May 03, 2006, 10:57 AM // 10:57

LOL ok im gna buy a 14^50 10/9 +29hp fellblade then

I think it's just a way of people saying " Hey, i'm richer than you".

But really, I don't think nobody cares. I've never had a perfect weapon in my guildwars lifetime- close, but not perfect.

I believe testing has proved that there is no actual difference in damage between 15^50 and 14^50, due to how the damage numbers are rounded. As such, a 14^50 weapon will do exactly the same damage as a 15^50.

HOXMAN · May 03, 2006, 11:27 AM // 11:27

this might be off topic but i think it might still apply.. quick question...

What is a "skin"? I'm not hip to the new lingo yet. indulge me

Draxx · May 03, 2006, 11:32 AM // 11:32

Yeah Exactly, Its the same when buying the upgrades, the perfect upgrades are rediculous prices. if your sensible and not a crazy fellow get the 14>50 and the REQ basically effects how good ul be with that weapon

for example if it is REQ13 and you have 13 swordsmanship you will be hitting close to the minimum damage with a REQ 8 you will be hitting for far more when you have 13 Swordsmanship. it helps if you have a LOW REQ but is not essential, personally i dont buy anything over REQ 9 or maybe if im feeling crazy 10 because its just not worth it for the high req.

-NOT the best explination by any means but i am currently at work

Draxx · May 03, 2006, 11:34 AM // 11:34

a skin is what the weapon or armour looks like basically, like a fellblade and a longsword, people pay silly money for fellblades when you can get say a gladius of the same stats... same with armour... the 15k sets are the same as the 1.5k but people buy the 15k just to show that they are elite players and can get this 'rare' skin. simple as.

Chilly Ress · May 03, 2006, 11:48 AM // 11:48

Just because it is perfect. Rich people are their 10 stacks of ecto want everything they have to be perfect, that's why req 11+ weps are worth nothing most of the time, no matter what mods.

Mournblade · May 03, 2006, 01:33 PM // 13:33

Umm... it's not always about 'showing off'... I happen to like my characters to look a certain way, and save up money until I can buy the equipment for that look. I don't prance around and go "look at me, I have 15k armor!"

Don't hate the rich *because* they're rich. There are much better reasons to hate people.

fiery · May 03, 2006, 01:47 PM // 13:47

Say to feed your family, one apple is great and alll but TWO apples is way better x1000.

I don't buy perfect weapons I stick to greens, cheap-perfect.

Yanman.be · May 03, 2006, 02:06 PM // 14:06

reqs do not matter if you meet the requirement. (easiest way to say )

baz777 · May 03, 2006, 02:18 PM // 14:18

I now tend to use greens or spec up a crafter item to perfect mods.

Besides I mainly play caster characters and most of their staffs just look like sticks anyway so I’m not going to pay a fortune for them.

My motto is ‘it’s not the size of your rod that count’s, it’s what you do with it’, (comforted me all these years).

LOL.....I use to have a perfect Sundering Summit Axe of Defense.....then they went and changed sundering to +20%/20%, so not it sucks

Draxx · May 03, 2006, 03:22 PM // 15:22

yeah good point about the rich i do agree, i mean i have alot of money but i run around with malinons and a razorstone or a custom made longsword, cuz i LIKE the way that looks... which at the end of the day what your playing the game for, efficientcy and fun... to be the best damn character you cand be

lol

people are far to critical and insulting of certain armours and weapons... its a fact...

mrbb · May 03, 2006, 03:39 PM // 15:39

People pay lots of perfect weapons because there is nothing else to do with the money they have. They don't have to feed families with GW gold, or their pet. It also gives some end game purpose other than PvP. Farm = money = perfect items. Is this stupid? No, everyone plays the game the way they enjoy.

Draxx · May 03, 2006, 03:49 PM // 15:49

yeah ok mrbb i get that calm down... lol i agree got nothing else to do with the money DOOO IT! lol the point is to enjoy yourself, which is the point im trying to get across about factions in the post below.

Factions: Skills from quests anymore?

which upsettingly theyv taken away from me in factions a bit... i agree... play enjoy be elite... dont ruin what the games is about

i will be returning to tyria after my brief fling in cantha for the farming alone :P *crosses fingers for factions to become better for farming and everything that made tyria playable to the end*

Actually you are wrong.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/content...nics-id674.php

It is the amount of points you have in your attribute that effects the weapons damage output. As long as you have 13 in sword, the Req. 13 will do the exact same damage as the Req. 8.

Draxx · May 03, 2006, 03:58 PM // 15:58

ah cool

thanx for the link.

makes things a little simpler. well then my question to you is why are high req weapons worth that much less... doesnt make as much sense as it would if my statment you quoted would of been correct... i can see why they would be less... but not as much less as they actually arre
