The 1.5K armor isn't that hard to get, but the FOW armor is impossible

I just gave up my collecting for the FOW armor, finally got some money again

I'll just wait untill an armor shows up that actually got better stats

powdahound · Jul 03, 2005, 01:47 AM // 01:47

I bought two sets of the 1.5k armor for my W/N since I like switching them depending on what I plan to be doing. I have the platemail for when I plan to be taking more damage and the Gladiator's for when I need the extra energy for casting curses.

I just carry the extra set around with me in the field so I can switch them whenever.

I saved up enough money and materials for both sets by just playing through the missions and quests in the area normally. Didn't go farming once. Just don't spend your money on stupid things and you can make enough quite quickly.

slightly off topic - but a good way to make a couple of plat. I recently helped out a couple of people through ascension (all 3 missions). between the 3 missions and the runs to get to the mission towns I made about 2 plat in one night.

I know its not as much as I can make in the same amount of time farming, but it can be fun (as long as you dont get jerks who get pissed everytime they die, because you do die in the desert).

So go out, and help some newb get through Ascension, make a couple of plat and do your good deed for the day

Deed* ^^ I love grammar ^^

kirkmping · Jul 03, 2005, 11:44 PM // 23:44

yeah... iv played through probably 30 missions, because thats what ANet says to do in order to unlock skills and items, and maybe got 1 gold, 4 purples, and a handful of crappy blues. Such a waste of time. They need to return farming at least a little.

God of Anarchy · Jul 04, 2005, 03:45 AM // 03:45

hey strykr can u hook me up on ome spots need a bit of hlp farming

God of Anarchy · Jul 04, 2005, 03:57 AM // 03:57

Holy Crap!!!...u Know Ive Been Readin And Reading About How Dc Has Not Been Nerfed!!!but I Still Read Bout People Asking Bout It....dc Is Not Nerfed Yet Damn It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Ketendra · Jul 04, 2005, 05:29 AM // 05:29

It hasnt been nerfed to the point that it is useless - and if you are just starting out there it is great. However for people that have been farming for a while now you can tell the diffrence, yes you still get purple/gold items, but not as much as before.

Hence the reason people say it has been nerfed

God of Anarchy. How many times have to been told about double posting?

Drakharran Zealot · Jul 04, 2005, 03:04 PM // 15:04

Why are people so crazy about Divinity Coast? Yeah Golds and Purples drop often there, but they are low level items, you can't sell them for alot.

Enigmatics · Jul 04, 2005, 03:20 PM // 15:20

Golds translate into 15k, purples 2k.

kirkmping · Jul 04, 2005, 03:29 PM // 15:29

15 k? Maybe with good stats. I will never pay 15 k for a gold with crappy mods and that isnt max dmg.

Drakharran Zealot · Jul 04, 2005, 07:41 PM // 19:41

A gold item isn't worth 15k just for it being gold. That's just wrong.

spacemonkeymafia · Jul 04, 2005, 07:53 PM // 19:53

is this really an effective way of getting gold and rares like is it as random and animal drops or do you know if you are going to find gold or items

True... the majority of Gold items I've found were ones that nobody wanted to buy and I was lucky to get the 100+ gold from the merchant for. However...

If by the fortunate and rare chance you happen to get a Gold weapon drop with a really high health mod, or a weapon with a high level vampiric mod... and the mods extract when using an expert salvage kit on them... well, then it can be quite worth the time.

A friend of mine got a Gold 5:1 Vampiric Bow drop there, and was able to extract the vampiric bow string from it... sold it for 35k in like 20 minutes. However, I got a Gold Hale Staff with a +24 health bonus once and when I used the expert kit on it got back 3 wood planks. So it's a gamble.

Just because it's a gold or rare item, doesn't mean it's worth anything.

Maxiemonster · Jul 04, 2005, 09:21 PM // 21:21

There are only a few gold items that sell for alot, and they're almost impossible to find. I'd much rather find an item with a nice upgrade on it, and salvage it. That can get you up to 100K sometimes. And on gold items there are mostly 2 or 3 upgrades, so the chance of getting the upgrade you really want is pretty low. Finding a blue/purple/gold item doesn't really makes a difference to me, as long as I can get a nice upgrade from it, that's the way how I make my money, I've never found a gold item that I actually sold for much..

kirkmping · Jul 04, 2005, 10:15 PM // 22:15

gold max dmg storm bows is about the only thing that is guaranteed to sell for high always

EDIT~~ Sorry, dumb post. Here is correct info

If you can get a max damage or max defense item, especially if its from UW or FoW with a good mod, you can sell it for tons of gold. Gold items generally have more mods, thats why they sell for more. I have seen golds with no mods, but people still try and sell them for more than they are worth just because they are gold. They aren't. So don't buy them, you are getting ripped off. Also, if something is low damage but has a good mod, extract the mod and sell it. That is how i best earn my cash.
