I don't have FoW because its dreadfully ugly, but I farm noobs in kamadan whenever I have free time and usually get good drops.

I never thought I'd get my Fissure armour - took too much time on a busy schedule of mine.

I was in UW Hardmode Clear (UR), and I opened the end chest and there was a nice Eternal Blade for me

... Sold it the same day for a great offer, than got my armour the same day

faraaz · Jul 15, 2008, 08:39 AM // 08:39

I don't have FoW Armor but I could afford 1 set for any of my chars and could get 1 more set if I farmed for a little bit..would only need around 100-200k more for the second set.

As for how I earn money:

Running
Power-trading
FoW/UW Clears
UW Ecto Farming

All there is really.

I got my FoW and torment in about a month of farming.

When DoA first came out, I PUGed for a while, doing 1 or 2 zones a night, and selling gems for ridiculous prices (100k+ each, <3 gold buyers). I found a few nice drops in the chests out there, as well. When I was around 1mil, I joined a guild dedicated to DoA. We got pretty good, and used to do full clears almost nightly (back then that was almost 1mil a night). When all was said and done, at the end of the month, I had full FoW, my torment, and a few mil to spare.

unfortunately, this doesn't help you at all, because after that month was up we'd flooded the market with gems, and a few solo builds had popped up... now gems are more or less worthless.

ectos with VwK

sororitygirl · Jul 20, 2008, 05:40 PM // 17:40

Okay, well I got my fow in about a week. Here's what works for me... I seem to have a steady cashflow from it.

1) I 600 CoF. If you charge 2k per person and bring a hero smiter you can make at least about 15k per run, plus you get golds, lockpicks, chalices, relics, tomes, etc, and it takes under an hour. If you want to be more ambitious, try to learn to 600 Ooze pit or Kathandrax - Kathandrax is 90k in about an hour, but CoF is crazy easy to learn to do. Kathandrax and ooze take a more experienced 600.

2) In my free time I play dirty merchant. Buy low, sell high - especially when you know something will mess up the market, like when the shadow form update made ectos cheap or if a holiday is coming up and theres tons of party/alcohol/sweets points to sell. I made 60k in about half an hour just by farming stacks of collector items when the last new mask came out. And if you don't know the market yet - use Price Check here and compare prices to Kamadan ad1. you will find many good deals you can resell for profit.

3) Sell anything you don't need - just remember if you want fow more than the black dye you just got, or the elite tome or w/e, you might as well sell that and buy your ecto. For example: I'm not going for the lucky/chest titles, so I sell all lockpicks instead of using them. I sell golds 7 for 5-6k since I'm not using them.

4) Farm Balths faction. There's many farms, mostly involving trapping for the Zaishen elite, where you can get long streaks of wins that will award, at the max, 6k balths faction. This is enough for a Zkey, which is about 5k, and the runs only take half an hour.

5) This is the most boring thing ever but learn to farm faction. If you take 3 customers, you are making about 450 gold per minute doing this. Just look up the build for farming kurzick faction from Lutgardis, and advertise Running HFF 100g ea and people will pay you for a quest run that only takes about a minute to complete with your heroes.

6) Salvage everything that might give you bone, dust, and feathers, and make consumables sets. Sell them for 7k from Temple of Ages. Feathers are usually the hardest to get - you can 600 birds for them north of Bergen. Just farm straight north to the next zone, and return.

Mr.Kotte · Jul 21, 2008, 04:20 PM // 16:20

I got my second FoW set now, basiclly from raptors and UW

Just sell golds 7=5k, you can easily get 10k every 30 mins this way.

Light of the Shiverpeak · Jul 23, 2008, 09:24 AM // 09:24

I just got really good and I farm UW and FoW with my necromancer, because I personally think that 55ing is slower since necros got SS which does more damage and results in a slightly faster farm. Farming with 55 necros is harder and more advanced than farming with monks, since you need to have some great button-mashing skills and some fast fingers/mouse-clicking. Anyways, I have more than enough for the armor, but I think the necro armor is hideous, so I bought a pair of fine looking Chaos gloves, with the matching color for my profession. I'll get Asuran armor, since it's really cool.

Jag hatar FoW necromancer rustning. Skitfult.

When you have enough ectos to buy the armor, do it. If you have some more, don't waste 'em on Chaos gloves, it IS proven to be a waste, unless they are pretty, pretty, pretty ^_^. Though I bought it because i didn't like the necro FoW armor. All other ecto = sell! But you should wait for the ecto to rise in price (lol it rhymes), then sell it, because I don't like the recent price drop.
But I, keep them in my storage, good ol' storage, for the future.

Lotsa ectoes.... They are like the marijuana of Guild Wars...

Unfortunately, I have to agree on that point.

MisterT69 · Jul 23, 2008, 02:51 PM // 14:51

First set of FoW I bought w/my ele. 2 months straight of UW w/my monk, usually 600 or 55 (w/e I was in the mood for). After that I decided I wanted to get him some chaos gloves as well, and thankfully at that time SF was buffed so I farmed a set of gloves for both my ele and monk

when you said selling golds 7=5k, those are un-identified golds right?

Risus · Jul 23, 2008, 05:51 PM // 17:51

My friend got 230k from the Cinco de Mayo festival where they gave free alchohol. Was supposed to be 5 each but I just ran in circles trading the 4 people and got around 450 points of alchohol. My friend got 230 in a trade probably because the guy misclicked...

/marry me

j/k but this is good solid advice if u don't want to fow/uw farm all day (especially ursan'ing)...I might add, too that a good place to pick up feathers/consumable mat's is in the off-the-beaten path outposts where beginners or others who don't know/care about cons sets might be...I've gotten a lot of feathers this way. Iron/dust/wood you can get anywhere still pretty cheap considereing your return on investment

does ferrying from Kamadan to LA count?

Aiden_Madrigal · Sep 14, 2008, 05:47 AM // 05:47

I farmed elite tomes. In less than a week I had all the money I needed for all the materials and for crafting, plus I got around 30 scrolls for FOW and 30 for UW.

Mind if I ask which boss?

Oh..and I got my FoW set from Zkeys and monthly predictions. Not to mention the gradual buildup of gold through some PvE. Now to finish off my Ranger's bows and gear so I can get back to spending all my time on my Warrior ><.
