So as of right now the only rare crafting materials that can't be crafted are rubies saphires and the three monster items. I think Anet is giving us the wrong impression about rubies and saphires, they will be used for something but not what most people hope, sort of a gold sink for people to lose some money. Why would they want people hording these items allowing the rich to stay rich and not allowing for people to work for it. Maybe a price reset at the begining of the new expansion or maybe another item will be used for the elite rare armor.

My hope is monster items 300-600 of each

i hope it'll be FOW armor for assasin and ritualist - if i can bring chars from ch1 to ch2 and play assasin or ritualis in FOW, do all quests i'd like to have an option to craft armor there as well, its only fair

Allanon Dark · Mar 07, 2006, 10:40 PM // 22:40

Yeah, there will definetly be new FoW armor types, though they won't neccesarilly be called that. There will be new gods so the new FoW equivalent God will more than likely hold the crafter. The new Ectos and Shards will (I really hope so, been stocking up on em) be Rubys and Sapphires.

ON a side note. While this rumor was started a while ago, i was wondering if anyone has put this rumor down or if it is just in the back of our heads. A while ago someone mentioned that anyone who owns FoW armor will have the skin changed on them (either optionally or not) to the correstponding name. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Oh, and does anyone know if they plan to do anything with the other Gods currently residing in ToA. THe devs said they would but never delivered.

Prefectus · Mar 07, 2006, 10:56 PM // 22:56

Jewel customization... very d2

I'd quite like sapphires on my FoW gear.

turtle?

my bet:

fow-like place in factions that drops new rare crafting materials, fow-like armor crafter that craft good looking armors using those crafting materials. armors will be different then fow armors and as around the same price target.
this is to avoid anyone from the first gw invade factions with the storage full of ectos to get the new uber-looking armor in a couple of days.
they don't want all the new content to be discovered in 48 hours... so no ectos and shards used in factions, that's my bet.

necklaces and rings will be introduced, requiring rubies/sapphires to be crafted. don't think they'll be armor upgrades, just jewels to wear when u like, probably without any bonus in stats, life etc.

Ju_Smurph · Mar 08, 2006, 07:05 AM // 07:05

I believe in every repect that fow armour 2 will require materails not yet seen.

agree.

while rubys, saphires and other materials have been confirmed to play a bigger part...i doubt very much if ANet would want people to get the new "uber" armour in a matter of days. If it cost the same as FoW and required near enough the same amount of ecto/shards but had a few new materials in there still would be no point.

If new "FoW" armour is to be introduced new materials will probably craft it. If this was not the case new "FoW" armour would be too common...the normal Factions armour would probably be rarer

You know what I was thinking? I was thinking that the new armor, FoW/UW sort of place would at statues dedicated to Dawyan, Melandru and the other one. The Lady Goddesses aren't getting much loving, and I'd love to go kill some evil pixies in Melandru's plane :P

Rogier · Mar 13, 2006, 03:18 PM // 15:18

i second that, there is already an avatar of dwayna so why not use it? and i still think monks should be able to use a sort of form to farm those places, i mean, monks are busy the whole just healing or protecting, i think a possibility should be there to enjoy that places to make money!

NinjaKai · Mar 13, 2006, 03:26 PM // 15:26

I can only see new Obsibian armor being released for the two new professions. That's the only thing that I can see happening as far as Obsidian armor is concerned.

Jas D · Mar 13, 2006, 03:27 PM // 15:27

You knew Factions was coming up, but you blew your money anyway. I think it's more of a personal problem.

I think Factions will come out with an armor equivalent to fissure. I hope so, something else for me to save for.

It may have a prettier skin (matter of opinion), but stats wise they are the same.

You guys have realized that our gold will not carry over right? Think about it, that would give people such a huge unfair advantage at the opening of the game.

"It's a new country, so that means there is a new system of gold."

For all we know, they trade Sapphires, Rubies and Jade as their currency rather then Gold.

Raxxman · Mar 13, 2006, 03:49 PM // 15:49

Uh.... and where did you get that info?

I didn't. It's common sense if you think about it. Why would they let people carry over so much gold at the beginging of thegame? That would throw the game economics so out of whack and make it unfair to people who only own Factions.

That's some of the funniest stuff I've read all week.

How's that? Do you really believe ANET would allow us Prophecy players to have an advantage in Gold, item, what else you can come up with, over Faction-Only players?

Plus, they have also said that Prophecy players won't be stronger then faction players haven't they? So why would they allow people who can buy gold off Ebay to go into a new game like this???

They won't be stronger. They'll be richer because of time invested. By your logic we should be stripped of all of our skills and items too. Gold is gold. It'll carry over. And THAT is common sense. At max level prophecies and factions players will be equal. A level 20 prophecies player will not be equal to a level 1 factions player.
