i did my farming in Drakkar Lake, just because it was the first place that was obvious to me and it worked pretty well. Got a minimum of about 4k points per run in just over an hour. The bosses and shrines are where you make all your points (get hunter's rampage up and kill the bosses late, and that's 600 per boss). Save your rez shrines for the end and get 140 points from each. But it's a lot of luck with which rewards you get - how quickly you get your hunter ranks, when you get hunter's rampage or boss bounty, lucking out and not getting Strength of the Norn, ever, etc.

...Christ. x.x I'll have to break my original Vow to not grind any points during this event and work hard for the rest of today to get this armor for my ranger. BAH! Thanks and damn you at the same time

lol nice observation, didn'nt notice till u mentioned it

but ya why did it swap?

moriz · Aug 26, 2007, 02:34 PM // 14:34

even the face paint swapped sides.

probably one of the images is mirrored or something... or does the armor actually do this on its own?

Velath · Aug 26, 2007, 02:41 PM // 14:41

The white on the chest also did this, mirrored image or is it a strange graphical bug?

i cropped the image from it's original size so that it wouldn't be so big..in the process i flipped one of the pics on its horizontal axis and didn't bother to change it back because i kinda liked the way it looked. So it's my fault, not GW's.

can't wait to see some of the other proffessions' armor...it'll give me an idea of how much grinding i have in my future. I love the norn paragon, dervish is too eskimo for my tastes, and the pic i saw of norn ele was almost hard to believe (it was just that bad).

Female Necromancer - dyed red

weird head piece you can get...

Looks even weirder..

Stolen Souls · Aug 26, 2007, 04:34 PM // 16:34

Necro armor isn't too bad. Don't like the face thingy though. :/

FFF_Mara · Aug 26, 2007, 05:00 PM // 17:00

well, from the pics in this thread id say these are the armor from here.

Im lookinf forward to the rt armor! Did you only go for norn armorer or did you check out the dwarven and ebonguard armorer too?

allience · Aug 26, 2007, 06:10 PM // 18:10

Not the best picture, but, female Norn Elementalist.

It wasn't shown in the leaked screens, so that's the first time it's been seen.. Pretty cool looking. I've also seen someone with the male Ranger, which is exactly the same as what was seen in the leaked pics.

The leaked pics didn't show every set, only most.

FFF_Mara · Aug 26, 2007, 07:39 PM // 19:39

The female ele armor is lovely. And fully clothed! yay!

wolfwing · Aug 26, 2007, 08:02 PM // 20:02

What about the Dervish armour? WIch one is the wolf/bear armour from the preview pic?

Saraphim · Aug 26, 2007, 08:09 PM // 20:09

Damn... that ranger armour is gorgeous.

Re: Ele armour. Not that keen myself, not because it covers up, I'm just not keen on the cut of it (if that makes any sense).

I'd hazard a guess that the Geo/Hydro re-skins shown in the leaked pictures are the Dwarven armours, as the blue and grey just feels right for that. Hopefully Asuran will be rich and tribal looking. I can but hope.

Wasn't it now? Isn't this it?

Looks like they added long pants, though.

I like the ranger norn armor. I liked the male version from the leaked preview shots, and looks like it'll be the first EOTN set I'll have to get, unless the other faction ranger armors aren't even better looking.

clarianaeneas · Aug 26, 2007, 10:39 PM // 22:39

Wow...this sucks...I'm absolutely loving the game, but armor is a huge part of it for me, and if getting one set requires 16 hours of grind, then that's definitely a huge let down. I seriously hope they lower the requirements for release time, and this is only temporary so people have a hard time getting armor for free n the preview. If this is permanent however, I might have to rethink buying GW:EN. I spent my game time in the past few months saving up gold for GW:EN armor, and now I find out that I have to grind for hours to get some crappy title before I can get each set? Whatever happened to rewarding skill over time played ANet?

Farcry Deathblade · Aug 26, 2007, 11:14 PM // 23:14

balls. there hasn't been a good set of ele armor since prophecies, and it looks like there still won't be. (endgame factions was nice, but not nearly as ornate as prophecies aeromancer)
