what is it??

Globs of Ectoplasm, aka "ectos", are the materials require to craft the infamous Obisidian Armor, aka FoW armor, amongst shards and other materials. They are by far the most expensive material required, and only (somewhat rarely) drop in the Underwold. The GW economy seems to hinge on them, as they are commonly used to trade instead of platinum.

well u r mostly right, ectos usually drop in UW, but i saw a SS of one droping in FoW(may have been photosopped, but it didnt look like it) and while shards seem to be going up in price, ectos r going down. in 3 months ectos prices have droped 20-30%

No, they're about 9-10k right now. Luckily I go down to FoW most of the time...

Malice Black · Dec 31, 2005, 04:12 AM // 04:12

lol i know what price they are now just didnt know they dropped that low at 1 point

Great Baron · Dec 31, 2005, 04:12 AM // 04:12

U can buy easily from 8 to 9k now.. great for us, but go rapidly, its will go higher soon... same for the major runes...

An ecto is the same thing as an Enema.

Yes ecto drop in FoW, but I have ONLY seen 3 drop ever and I farm FoW almost daily.

The only place I have seen them drop is in the forrest..

At the trader reset ecto dropped down to 100 gold a piece. I was standing next to the trader with my chat log off at the time

the only place (i know of) in FOW that drops ecto is from the banshees that linger around the wailing lord. there was also one occasion where there was an obsidian chest right next to the wailing lord, and the items we got from it were items you would've gotten from a phantom chest in UW - ie storm bow, eternal bow, etc.
