Well tbh I only ever got my FoW chest for my necro. Too many other toys adnd 15k armors for all my other pve's. I doubt I will ever finish my set off tbh(even though I have the ectos left). I did a little solo 55 Prot Bond farming. Long ago you could get a lvl17 cast to lose 1E per hit. I did some duo and solo UW a bit and some guildies liked 5 man FoW runs but I made most all of my gold running to Droknars Forge. Meat Shields R Us express ran whenever I had 40 min to spare spamn for people. Prices were much higher back then though and I quit running when others were offering for only 2k each. I only run for guildies now. PvP took over and now I only PvE to level up my chars to pvp with lol.
When it comes down to it you only have 2 ways to get it.
1. Time. Lots of it too, farming whatever you can farm fastest/most profitably.
2. EBay or any similar ig golds for rl cash services. While I used to hate this type of thing I do understand its reality.
Like Pontiff said he made his money on rich people with no time to play. You dont get rich without time played. Either yours, or someone playing for you for 25cents an hour.

Just goes to show ya, fow armor is not that hard to get if you know all the right farming spots =D.

Hall of Heroes gave me plenty 80k-sigils, and I also went in FOW alot with 8 man groups, took me quite a while when ecto's were 11-13k

king_robin · Aug 12, 2006, 08:24 PM // 20:24

OMG you guys is incredible farming so much just for a armor for a "single char". May the farming gods be with you ^^

I forgot to add that: I bought a 15%>50 8req Mursaat Hammer off someone for 65k because I wanted one for my warrior to PvP. I proceeded to buy a perfect Furious Hammer Haft and a Hammer Grip of Fortitude to it. I then dyed it black to officially Pimp it.

After a month of PvP, I decided to see how much I can get for it. I traveled to Lion's Arch, the imfamous trade post of the World at the time, and started advertising the Mursaat hammer. I was quickly whispered by many people stacking money in their messages, eager to buy my hammer. The max amount of money reached was 600k, I hastily sold off my Hammer for a nice profit.

I have really enjoyed reading this thread

.
I`m very near finishing Prophercies,so all this information is really helpful to me,as one thing I do want to do is go to FOW,and UW.

I have a W/Mo,and would like to get the FOW armour,for her,
I have been saving like mad,since the start,and have just over 100k,give or take a few nice pieces of armour,I have bought along the way,
I tend to pick up everything I can,I do get amazed at people who leave stuff behind,every penny helps as they say.

A question I would like to ask is this,what would you say was the easiest character to farm with in those area`s ?.
I`m really curious,or is`nt there one ?.
Thanks for all the info people.

For the chest and leggings for my warrior...

It was two months of griffon farming, FoW and UW questing, 2-5 man smite runs (would duo with a monk on my warrior during the bond days, good times). I bought most of the ectos and shards from the trader when that got introduced.

squan · Sep 05, 2006, 07:54 AM // 07:54

well i was very late with farming UW and FOW. i did not have a lot of money and only played as a MM or with my ele. i allways refused to play as SS, did not even capped it. then i was doing a mission and i had a signet with me and capped SS. man SS is fun. then i started to do duo uw. man i was thinking this is so darn cool. i never had more then 30k but then my storage went up and up. so i made a monk because i was curious how it would be as a 55 monk. man monks are so darn cool.
now i got necro fow armor and monk fow armor. and farming for my third set. a shame i did this so late, because now i am a very good SS or 55 but if i started in the beginning i would have 4 fow armors or more.

Chests :-) n underworld trapping.

shadow ranger · Sep 05, 2006, 08:22 AM // 08:22

All sorts really, prenerf ettins for un ID'ed Sup vigors and absorbs, grand drakes, moss scarabs before they had chilbains. Prenerf griffens + blessed griffins outside of camp rankor, and then i ran more different and random things with the divine boon + zealots and balths smite build ;\.

That didnt really get me my fow armor but it was what i farmed, getting my fow armor was because i have 4 characters on the 24 hour early thing of prophecies, meaning 4 minipets the day they we're released + ectos at the time i bought we're 5k per and shards 3k per, and at the time it was just another way of saving money until i had over 105 shards and ectos and thought i may aswell get myself a set.

In factions all ive managed to farm was a dragon moss spot i found, and koosun runs when it was first posted here, which bagged me 10 - 20 koosuns, though ive been meaning to try the mes/mo Vice versa shirokin spot as it looked interesting.

Dual Underworld.

makosi · Sep 05, 2006, 11:15 PM // 23:15

Also dual UW. Some power-trading, some luck and rare-material abuse :P

More than half way there to my 9th set then I think I'm packing it in.

Xavier Lightstone · Sep 06, 2006, 12:19 PM // 12:19

You guys are nuts, I would love some FoW armour, and if I had the money I'd definitely buy it, but the time/yawns involved is just ridiculous.

Good luck all, I'll be 500 years old when I get mine!

Shadow-Hunter · Sep 06, 2006, 12:24 PM // 12:24

Mainly UW seeing how the ectos is the most expencive part of the armor.. So farmed all the ectos 55 Monk/SS/SV style.. Then i farmed Shards in FoW both as Ranger Forest soloer, and Warrior Cave soloer, along with Some 8 Man groups.. The rest of the stuff came from what ever i have farmed =o
(got the FoW armor like 2 weeks ago

)

My friend and I capped tons of UW spiders for people. After we capped the spider we would do a smite run. It took about a month because alot of the time we didn't have favor until to late at night

Effendi Westland · Sep 06, 2006, 03:57 PM // 15:57

Tombs when it just got out. I think I sold 3 axes for 100k, 4-5 for 80k. Never got a bulwark (and i'm on 70+ runs atm). Going into fow with groups. Never solo or duo farmed a day in my gw life... took me 3-4 month for the set.

Scorpion Boy · Sep 06, 2006, 04:00 PM // 16:00

Lots of Duo UW untill I had enough Ecto's, and a lot of Spider Farming in FoW with my Warrior to get all the Shards. When you're doing this you should have enough money to cover the crafting costs.
