5 Questions... simple - Guild Wars Forums

Elthanor · Apr 09, 2006, 10:11 PM // 22:11

First, In the selling part of this site, there are tearms i dont understand. like b/o, s/b, s/o. What do they mean?

Second, What is a Mursaat Hornbow? I dont see any Items called that and people seems to want them.

3
Is there a 55 Necro Build? i seem to be hearing it...

4
Can a 55 monk pretty much Own everything? What CANT it farm?

5
When people sell items, why do they add Ectos to the price? Like "100k+10ectos. IF ectos are worth like... 5k(I dont know) why cant they just add 50k more?

These are probably really simple. Just been bugging me. Thanks

buy out, starting bid, starting offer
mursatt horn bow looks like a mursatt hammer material but white
3: yes
4: no, shatter enchantments and life stealing skills such as vampiric touch
5: cause a person can only carry 100k. if something costs 300k, your not gonna do 3 sepereate transactions then get the item.

Mursaat Bows/ Hammers etc, are just skinned differently, and look way cool, no other differences, they can be found in the Ring of Fire, and Abbadons Mouth etc, from drops and chests.

Anywhere there is big degen / enchantment stripping, usually kills a 55 pretty damn quick

I have thought about that once or twice, i guess it's because you can only trade 100K in cash, plus items, whats to stop either person taking the 100K before you can give them the other 50K for example and just logging off

b/o = buy-out
s/b = starting bid
s/o = starting offer (so basically the same as s/b)

a mursaat hornbow is a hornbow with a special skin. hornbows can have 3 skins : the regular "dragon heads" skin (cfr. pvp hornbow), the mursaat hornbow (which looks like it's chopped up and still levitating) and the "fleshy" skin (which looks a bit like a flesh golem, far off though, but oh well)

55 necs use the same low HP + prot spirit trick the 55 monk uses, and use spitefull spirit for the kills. it's a solobuild, you can surely find lots about it in the build forums

55 monks cannot farm stuff that removes enchants a lot and stuff that simply attacks too much/ degens too much / uses lifesteal spells / ... (understanding how it actually works is a big step in determing what you can farm)

only 100k can fit in a tradewindow, after that, you either have to add extra stuff (like ecto's) or trust the guy enough to pay the rest later ...

b/o might mean "best offer"? Not really sure. Definitely have no clue about s/b and s/o

Valerius · Apr 09, 2006, 10:23 PM // 22:23

- b/o = buy out / s/b = starting bid / s/o = starting offer

- Mursaat Hornbows are Hornbows dropped from Mursaat and Jades... it's just called a "Hornbow" but it will have a different skin from the original looking Hornbow which is called a "Dragon Headed Hornbow"... there is also another kind of a hornbow called the "Flesh Horn"... so there are three different skins to Hornbows

- yeah there are 55 Nec builds... check out the Necro section

- nah not everything... heavy degen and monsters that use armor ignoring spells will kill you

- they add ecto's because the most gold you can put in the trade menu is 100K... ecto is just what everyone uses as currency

dun answered by other peeps

Second, What is a Mursaat Hornbow? I dont see any Items called that and people seems to want them.

they aren't actually called mursaat horn bows. they r regular hornbows but they have a unique skin and that skin also happens to drop ONLY by mursaats. making it rare

3
Is there a 55 Necro Build? i seem to be hearing it...
yes int he necro section there is one

4
Can a 55 monk pretty much Own everything? What CANT it farm?

they r weak against interupts enchant stealers and degen
5
When people sell items, why do they add Ectos to the price? Like "100k+10ectos. IF ectos are worth like... 5k(I dont know) why cant they just add 50k more?

because the most amount of money u can trade in one trade is 100k with ectos that price can go higher so it would look somehing like this 100k+10 ectos would be like 150k if ectos r curently 5k. this is done to prevent trade scams of multiple trades for high items.
