Curse

Edit: Could someone please move this to Canthan Explorer's League? I accidentally posted in the wrong area. Thank you.

After a while of contemplation and pondering, I think I may have discovered the new location of the next Elite armor crafter, the Cantha equivalent of Fissure armor, if you will.

First I will explain my theory in terms of analogy for those who are impatient to read my full explaination.

HoH:FoW :: Houze zu Heltzer:Urgoz's Warden Report

I shall continue.

I realized 2 striking truths.

1. There is an 'elite' armor crafter in the Fissure of Woe.
2. To enter the Fissure, your region must have the favor of the gods (control the Hall of Heroes at Hero's Ascent)

Now if you apply this formula to Cantha, replae FoW with the Elite Mission (Urgoz's Warden Report) and Hall of Heroes with House zu Heltzer, and reverse the formula, you find yourself with my theory:

2. To enter the Elite Mission (Urgoz's Warden Report) your alliance must have factional control of House zu Heltzer.
1. Therefore, there must be an 'elite' armor crafter in the Elite Mission.

Also note that since your alliance must have control to acces these Elite missions (unlike your region, which has a larger population) only those with skill (e.g. the people that opened up control to the special area) will be able to aquire this elite armor. In my honest, humble opinion, this is the way it should be, even if it's "not fair" because not everyone in your region could aquire the armor. This shows that those wearing the armor truly deserve our respect (no matter their composure of character) beacuse the service cannot simply be paid for (e.g. a pre-nerf book-run through FoW to the smith) and cannot be easily aquired (the faction control factor).

Please let me know what you think, and let it be known that the humble Scribe Sedgewik has foretold the events which will shape our experiences on Cantha. Thank you.

There is already rit/assy fow armor.... I think while conceptually your theory might be right, you get greens from the elite missions.... so I equate them more to SF then to FOW. Also look at UW no crafter there.

i doubt theres a crafter on the elite missions either... never seen a greenie from there either oO

as for "only the skilled have access", thats hard to accept mate

i have heard that there is a way to go to UW and fow from cantha. I think i was told it was in the Zin Ku corridor. I have not had the chance to check this out as my factions CE just arrived yesterday. But I was out for cinco de Mayo.

Yep, there is a bunch of god statues in Zin Ku corridor, and it is very much like ToA except it's bigger, and the statues are located in a more discrete part of the outpost. Like ToA, you can still only talk to Grenth & Balthazar to gain access to UW and FoW - still need favour, entrances still cost 1k, and they still take you to the same destination. FoW equivalent, my theory, perhaps the armour guy changes if you're from Cantha. A party from ToA needs to actually go there and check it out.

After hearing about a few groups finishing the Elite missions, it looks like my theory is off *ahem* just a bit.

But there haven't been any major updates/expansions since the release, so I'm still looking forward to new SF-ish areas and extra ToA/Jin Ku Corridor UW/FoW god areas (personally, I can't wait to see what Lyssa's area will look like).

Thanks to those who responded.
