Where can I find Scales? - Guild Wars Forums

jesh · May 04, 2005, 05:43 PM // 17:43

I know this had been posted before because I actually used the search button. I need to know how to acquire scales... The only thing was those threads appeared to have been made before the release of GW, and I don't have any scales left from the beginning of the game to salvage. So if anyone knows a way to get scales in the release.. please tell me. I just got to Yak's Bend, in case it matters where I'm at.

I was going to try to help you, but my mind just went blank on what you salvage scales out of. Darn it!

skale fins

Erod · May 04, 2005, 05:48 PM // 17:48

Oh man, I had the same problem. In the beginning of the game, you fight "Skales" and they drop "Skale Fins" those salvage into scales, now, you dont really know about salvaging at low levels, so what I did.. Is I made a new character and killed skales for about an hour, got about 40 skale fins. Put them in my storage.. hopped on big character.. whammy.. 40 Scales.

Auntie I · May 04, 2005, 05:48 PM // 17:48

Yes! Thank you! Gad it's terrible to be getting old. But there's something post searing too.

mqstout · May 04, 2005, 05:49 PM // 17:49

Scale fins. Leather claws. Flame wielder salvagables. It's one of the least common 'common' crafting materials.

mqstout · May 04, 2005, 05:49 PM // 17:49

Hm, I also heard one of the ranger armors that doesn't use scales salvages into scales.

i no longer worry about galloping senility catching up to me as it galloped past me many years ago

Leathery Claws are dropped by level 10 hydras, which aren't exactly easy to get by yourself.

The easiest way to get ahold of Scales are the way that I informed him.

And btw, scales arent aquired by salvaging other ranger armors, I tryed that

Gargoyles drop scales fairly regularly. I've been farming gargs outside of Nolani Academy and selling the scales. I made the 2k for our guild cape in about 2 hours. Darn now my secret is out!

You can access your storage in pre-searing? Or did you lvl to 3 and then put them there

I didn't know that the storage vault was the same for each character, I thought they had separate ones.... I really need to get my second character out of pre... lol

jesh · May 04, 2005, 06:22 PM // 18:22

Wow, thanks a lot for the info guys. I really appreciate it. ^_^
Is there any place I can find out what I need for the next set of armor ahead of time? If I could know in advance I could save things.

Auntie I · May 04, 2005, 06:24 PM // 18:24

Check out the Armor section on the main page. It's probably still based on the Betas but it'll give you someplace to start.

Bgnome · May 04, 2005, 06:24 PM // 18:24

that is a list of locations and crafting requirements for each set of armor for each profession. remember, most of that data was gathered during the betas and may be outdated. it is a good place to start though..

Not meaning to go off-topic, but what is this storage area you guys were mentioning?

Auntie I · May 04, 2005, 06:33 PM // 18:33

We made it from scales to armor why not storage! When you get to Post Searing Ascalon visit the Xunicati (Spelling??) Agent and buy a storage area for you account. 50g. One character can put stuff there for your other characters. For example I found a really good cane with my ranger, I put it in storage and when I logged on with my Mesmer picked up the cane. The agents have been in every major outpost I've been in so far.

jesh · May 04, 2005, 06:34 PM // 18:34

I was wondering that too, since I went on a pre searing character and started getting scales. I checked out Fort Ranik and Ascalon, but have yet to see a storage person. Thanks for the info on the armor btw, you guys are awesome. ^^

Kokopelli · May 04, 2005, 06:41 PM // 18:41

Sweet. I hope to post tonight after I build up some of my ranger skills.
