Amber/Jade requirements for crafting armors - Guild Wars Forums

maoric · May 03, 2006, 03:34 PM // 15:34

I've seen multiple threads showing off the new 15k and FoW armors, and some giving screenshots of the crafting materials needed for the sets.

However, I haven't seen any posts on the materials needed for Luxon or Kurzick armor (1.5k or 15k versions).

Are amber/jade needed for both the 1.5k and the 15k, or just the 15k versions?

If anyone could post the materials needed, I'm mostly interested in the prices for Kurzick armors, but I figure others might want the Luxon armors.

Also along that route, how easy is it to get Faction for either side, if you're going to have to use it to buy the materials to craft the armors?

I *think* you only need jade/amber for 15k armors. There are posts scattered around the forums with screenshots of the cost for each class armor, but for example the 15k kurzik warrior armor is 400 iron, 40 steel, and 80 amber (plus 15k per piece) to craft.

I haven't had a chance to do any of the faction quests yet (pre-order trial ended) but there seemed to be lots of them.

For Luxon and Kurzick style armour, both 1.5k and 15k, you need amber and jade along with the other releveant materials (in the assassin's case, tanned hide and steel). Luxon armour needs jadeite, Kurzick requires amber.

Ok, now that I know that both the regular and ascended armors require the faction-specific crafting opponent, I still need to know how many the 1.5k variety requires. From looking at the materials for the warrior 15k armor, I can only assume that the standard 15k requirement is 80 Amber/Jade for classes with special headpieces, and 70 Amber/Jade for classes without, unless there are special auras/scars/tattoos/etc for the Luxon and Kurzick.

Finally made it to HzH and Cavalon.

1.5k armors require 24 amber/jade
15k armors require 80 amber/jade

Good to know, now to start farming some kurzick faction points
