Curse

Hey guys, I don't know if this belongs here but if anyone could help me, I recently started playing this game again, I've tried a bunch of builds for my Warrior, I only have Prophecies BTW, anyways soo I realized I need a new weapon. I did my research on Guildwarswiki and I compared some of the best sounding swords to ways I can make them cheaply and I found one I like. I used a long sword from Droknar's Forage, and I was thinking to get a zealous mod for it and then get another with Vampiric....sooooooo before I even bought the sword I found a basic zealous sword mod! But, I was thinking maybe I should buy a perfect one. Does it make a diffrence? and is it worth doing? also anyone know of some shields I can use?? one of my builds calls for tactics the other for str. so I never know what to use, Sorry for the longggg post!

Please help,
Yoyoto

Zealous only has one version: 1 energy per hit, and -1 energy degen.

zealous = zealous, no difference between them =)

LOLZ I thought everything came as perfect, Oh well, then is it the same for vampiric? and any suggestions on what to use as the pommel?

Max for vamp is 3/1. And no, mods don't always come maxed, even on gold drops.

Actually vamp for hammer/scythe/bow is 5/1.

vampiric only drop max on sword/axes/spears (the 3/-1 version), it is possible to get non-max versions of the 5/-1 ones. just 4/-1 tho

I feel like a noob, I started playing in 2005, was on for like 2 weeks in 06 and now I'm back for good hopefully, So I dont know what this 5/1 means, My geuss is +3 health/ -1 Hp thing, Anyone knows where I can farm for the vamp mod? that I can also make money for a new sword... I only have prophecies...... I also need a new pommel...... any ideas? Sheilds? I'm so confused its like walking into a dark room

It's mostly luck on the weapon.
And 5/1 (or 5/-1) is vamp mod.

Yes, but he's talking about swords, not weapons in general.

green weapons are a cheap way to get perfectly modded equipment. Just look on wiki for "unique weapons"

yoyoto · Jan 26, 2008, 09:50 PM // 21:50

Anyways soooooo my zealous is then considered 1/-1? And any place I can go to farm? any suggestions for a total noob?

Tyla · Jan 26, 2008, 09:51 PM // 21:51

It's "Newbie" not "Noob"!

There should be a stickied thread on farming in the farming section, by the way.

yoyoto · Jan 26, 2008, 09:58 PM // 21:58

Actually I am a noob, since I've owned this game for almost 3 yrs! *Keyword ALMOST there*

Tyla · Jan 26, 2008, 10:00 PM // 22:00

Keep in mine the "New" in "Newbie", you are new to a certain thing - judging from the OP.

yoyoto · Jan 26, 2008, 10:13 PM // 22:13

MEHHH so idk about what shield to get or how the hell to make moneys!

Biostem · Jan 26, 2008, 10:21 PM // 22:21

In my experience, the bets way to make money is to find a route form 1 town/outpost to another, that you can traverse relatively easily, and kill a good amount of fairly high level enemies. Do this w/ a max party size, to get a feel for it, and slowly eliminate 1 henchman here or another there, until you're at the smallest party size you can reliably make the trip with. Sell any items you don't specifically want or need when you get back to a town, then repeat the trip.

As to weapon mods in general, one thing I've come to accept is that a 14^50 or even a 13^50 mod are pretty much just as good as a 15^50, etc...

For certain things, like vampiric, though, you really want the best one possible...

As for a shield, I suggest checking guild wars wiki for collector's shields; there are some very good ones out there...

I dont know what teh 15^30 thing means! my sword is max dmg, +15% While above 50%hp, and It needs a mod to go with the Zealous one

Zamochit · Jan 26, 2008, 11:26 PM // 23:26

In terms of effectiveness I would say take a + 5 Armour vs all damage pommel (defence) ~ they are much cheaper than +30 health pommels and are as effective in pve in the majority of situations. Either that or get a +29 health one for cheap.

Crom The Pale · Jan 26, 2008, 11:32 PM // 23:32

I would suggest sitting in Lions Arch for a bit and posting in the search window WTB Sword Mods, then see what people offer and how much itll cost you.

You can get some near perfect mods, +29hp 19/20 sundering for less than 3K depending on the seller.
