Yes, but that's not for sure what the final reqs are.

I think it would be super slick of Anet to build all this false demand for Vials of Ink and such, and then have it super common in factions...

Don't forget a lot of people are not going to buy Factions inmediately. If the ecto price goes down its an opportunity for them to finally get FOW armor - and their demand will rise the prices again. I think the ecto price won't change much during the first 4-5 months. After that it's likely to drop.

Ok dudes I decide to leave those ecto in my storage... we'll see what will be going on

It would be stupid to introduce a new Ecto/Shard equivalent in factions, because 4 chapters down the road the material trader would be flooded with all sorts of crap ecto type 1, ecto type 2, ecto type 3, shard type 1, etc etc. They had better keep the ecto/shard system and I see no reason why they can't.

Uhhh... you do realize how much material crap they have right now?

Why would you think that would change? More chapters = more crap.

what you saw then may have no real bearing on them adding something to the mix.

remember the odds and ends that were changed just before release?

i want to see the retail list

Amber and Jade are used to craft 15K, not factions' "Fow" armor.

Because there is no "ecto/shard" system in the game, one one fabricated by the players. If Factions high-end armor requires something different and equally hard to get, so be it. Prophecies is a unique game from Factions and shouldn't be expected to be the driving force behind Factions economy.

[Edit]Maybe this is where the fabled "Small Turtle shells" come into play...

I saw someone said that Rt and Asn's fow armor will be added in fow, right?
If this is true, I think the ecto's price will not drop..
Since some people may want to craft Rt or Asn's fow armor, they need more ectos and shards,
however, no many people will go uw and fow when faction come out
Everyone want to play new mission, new pvp, and farming for new weapons/items.

It represents that ecto supply will < demands
So, I think ecto price will raise up,not drop.

those pics of 15k armor is only 1 set of each 15k armor, i'm sure factions will have there own FoW type armor where you find the crafter outside of town, or maybe just a different look compared to all the other ones.

Yeah, in the elite missions that no one will be able to access save for the very top alliances.

I think I said that...either that or I was thinking it. Pure speculation anyways, seeing as that I haven't done any (p)research into chapter 2...

It seems completely reasonable, even expected that prophesies armor will be added for the assassin and ritualist, including FoW armor. Who knows? If FoW assassin armor has a wicked skin, people might very well regret having dumped thier ectos a month ago.

Turtle Shells are propably one of the rare materials needed for Factions 'FoW'

It was said in one of the recent interviews.
