Though the real crime is the people charging more than what the merchant would give them for the things.

Moderators rock on.

Thanks to those that offer well wishes.

And to the cynics...

1) The screenshot wasn't posted in the "screenshot section" because I'm not a guru-a-holic and I didn't know such a thing existed. From now on I'll check first. Oh, wait... is there a smart alec reply sectiion? Zeig Heil!
2) The Dread Mask isn't for everyone. Neither are the Ninja Mask or Blindfold. To each their own.
3) And no, my credit card has only paid for extra character slots and preview weekends. I earned my gold the old fashioned way... farming it in a cyber world.

What's the overall price (even if it's just a round figure) for the mask/gauntlet combo you are sporting there anyway?

Oh really. So you're telling me in the TWO YEARS you've been on Guru, not once did you notice the Screenshot section? You didn't scroll down to the bottom of Guru ONCE? It's quite easy to see. And you have been here 2 years. Right? I mean, you must have seen it at least once. Surely?

AlienFromBeyond · Sep 15, 2007, 04:36 PM // 16:36

Argh, I really want to see pictures of it from the side and behind.

OlMurraniKasale · Sep 15, 2007, 04:47 PM // 16:47

Looks like I will add the mask to my list, to be accomplished when it gets fixed - namely when drop rates seem to improve a little! So for now, like Zho's book that I can't seem to get in all this time (and won't now that I decided to boycott the Norn Arena because of the 100 gold entry fee), I will just have to hope ANet makes the proper change to match my need.

Congratulations on getting your mask, it is pretty neat!

Jealous you don't have one imo.

Anyways, grats. Looks really nice, especially with the gloves.

Congrats of reaching your goal, glad you're enjoying it. And thanks for posting the screenie of it. Now I know what it looks like.

She said 'not a guru-a-holic', not that she was new.

Hawaii, we [or atleast I] would love to know about how much you spent altogether for the relics for the mask.

Onarik Amrak · Sep 15, 2007, 06:16 PM // 18:16

Take it easy on fenix, he's part of the Aussie Trolling Crew.

But really, if you ever post anything that even resembles an accomplishment, be prepared for flames. Some of them are particularly mundane...

onerabbit · Sep 15, 2007, 06:16 PM // 18:16

Ermm ... wot is it Lol .. ewww

grats though

Xanthier · Sep 15, 2007, 07:37 PM // 19:37

I have to say, congrats. You were one of two main buyers that I saw regularly, and it looks like you managed to nab a precious set of 25 first, so kudos to you for getting that ridiculously expensive, yet nice looking, mask. I can only hope the price of Rin Relics doesn't go even higher.

xcenic · Sep 15, 2007, 08:10 PM // 20:10

she also have the destroyer gauntlet!! dude 250 core in wtf!! wow im only have in 25 and spend 24/7 in that darn mission farming...well im also get my money from the old fashioned way but i dont have one fow+destroyer gauntlet+dead mask+ i suppose chaos gauntlet you have too, + torment weapon and all thouse thing im sure you have!!

perhaps is luck??

HawaiiGamer · Sep 15, 2007, 08:32 PM // 20:32

I did a lot of DoA 4-runs back when titans were 100k each which would net 500k in guaranteed gems from chests alone not to mention random drops. Once titans dropped below 100k I lost interest. I made a bundle from DoA while it lasted, at least 1M a week. Plus, I use to do TONS of 2-man UW. It isn't hard to make money in GW if you have a good guild or crew of players to farm with.

The EOTN thread is the perfect place to post it.

To the OP... GRATZ! Hey why you want lava on your hands when you gotta worry about lava in your path? jk... I like the look... enough to scare Madame Pele. Shaka.

Someone asked earlier how much I spent on this mask. Well... when I first started looking for relics I was able to buy them for 500g each. However, as I spammed in town more people started asking me what rin relics were and what are they used for. Well, I gleefully educated anyone who might ask in the hopes they would sell me anything they should find. Unfortunately others decided they wanted the mask and began bidding against me. Since the availability of relics was so sparse I had to beat all those that opposed me by raising my bid until they left the zone. Because of this bidding war I had to buy a few relics for 10k+. Most I bought for 5k. At the end I was buying for 5k+1ecto. I don't know how much I spent total but if I had to guess I'd say it was at least 150k.

Xanthier · Sep 16, 2007, 01:54 AM // 01:54

150k seems (oddly enough) quite 'reasonable' considering how much the destroyer gauntlets can be, and especially so in comparison to the Chaos Gloves. It's 6k per relic, which is pretty good going. That's what I'm aiming for really.

Friar Khan · Sep 16, 2007, 05:35 AM // 05:35

I had dismissed both the mask and those gauntlets as items having no visual appeal to me, but I must admit that they suit your necro FoW very well.

What you don't realize is that many of us have been in obsidian armor for two years. The 15k crowd has armor every addition, but this is the 1st expansion/campaign where people with fow armor can spend to get some accessories, imagine pushing your toon though a game for two years with nothing to buy and thats where we have been stuck at, just playing and gold stacking with nothing to buy. Your accusations smack of jealousy and are unfounded.
