Is there even a market for the FFS? I picked up two from the collector just to see if I could find him and see what all the fuss was about. Now I've got these two axes that are actually kind of worthless to me, but someone may want them. They were easy to get so I'm thinking they can't be worth that much as far as selling them.

umm... why are people trying to do damage with the ffs? and it's only worthless if you don't use spells and enchants. try to find another 1-handed weapon with 10% universal spell recharge and the ability to take a 20% enchant grip.

Its funny. so any people forget one of the best monk wands in the agme and u get it free in a quest reward from yaks bend. So many people dont want it because its not max dmg, but it does give you 10% skill recharge and +3 energy over 50%. my monks used this as her main wand throughout the game. as much as i find weapons that i like or could use, i always end up comming back to thsi wand.

i use that wand for my monk now, too. thanks for showing it to me. =)

I didn't say they're worthless. I said, they're "worthless to me." I just want to know if it's worth the effort to sell them to other players, or do I just unload them to the merchant?

very handy wand isnt it?

Sounds like a good weapon to use in a second or third weaponset on a caster character especially nec or monk who have to step back every once in a while to throw around enchants and other spells. I may have to go pick up a few tonight.

I could also see a market for areas like Asc city, yaks bend or lions arch to sell to lower level people. Something like 1 or 2k apiece. You could feasibly get quite a few and move them that way. More if you mod them.

But you can't add a +20% enchant mod to a wand

I would take a boring ole clean axe with +20% enchant over the above wand as a 55 monk.

I use the FFS with 20% ench too for my 55 monk (needs to be lvl 20 first

)

If you don't use enchantments of which the length doesn't care, I would use the wand also.

But why buy a Morgriff's Scepter when there is a nearly identical Old Ascalon collector truncheon?

The New Guy · Feb 24, 2006, 03:23 PM // 15:23

Anybody got an FFS? I tried looking for the collector 4 times but he never spawned there. I looked when we had the favor and when we didn't have it.

Maxiemonster · Feb 24, 2006, 03:36 PM // 15:36

The 10% Fiery Flame Spitter is indeed great for 55HP Monking and the best thing for IW Mesmers (I prefer Axe in he first place, I love swinging a Cyclone Axe with IW), but there's about where it ends.

The 15% Fiery Flame Spitter on the other hand is very great in my opinion. 10% global skill recharge is 20% if you're using skills of 2 attributes, nice, but I doubt there's any build that has one attribute that doesn't need the recharge harder then the other, on the other hand, a 20% specific skill recharge is always better. 15% skill recharge on the other hand, is 30% skill recharge if you're using skills of 2 attributes, which simply is better when you don't really care about which attribute gets the recharge time. I never care about any wand (and focus) mods except the skill recharge, and this 15% global skill recharge definitly fits my build, and I can always add a nice second mod.

I have heard other rumors that you have to be alone for the collector to appear.

I use it on my boon prot for PvP.

But as soon as I can get my hands on an HoD axe the FFS is going to the trash :O

The collector who gives it out won't appear all the time, so you will have to try a few times. The collectors appearance does NOT depend on whether your territory has favor or not.
