After playing straight through for 20 hours I have found one Insignia. This cannot take the place of having normal armors.
ANET have mercy on us please!
I love Nightfall really I do, however the insignia situation is just NOT working.
Either increase the Drops by A LOT or provide an insignia crafter.
Insignia's for Armor?

I found 2 since I started playing. Unfortunately, I can't use either.
My paragon is level 20 now and still doesn't have a single insignia on her armor. I sure wouldn't mind if they showed up more frequently.

I too have played for 2 solid days and have found not even one, I was told chests are your best bet and still found none.
This is utterly ridicules as armor is basic to this game and not being able to use it because of such a a trivial matter is just not on.
Anet do something about this please

I bought 6 or 7 from the rune trader (about 260g each). You have to be very fast, though - scroll straight to the bottom of the list and buy, don't think 
. I expect the situation will improve over the coming days.

The problem is, finding items to salvage them from. I found only 2 in 2 days of playing, totalling over 20 hours of solid play.
Maybe I'm just unlucky, but this isn't working for me at all.

7 hours... 1 insignia... an elementalist pyromancer mod.
Right... unless there's some big change or we can buy armour with insignias later on in the game then my Warrior is gonna buy that set of Sentinal's Armour I had been planning on getting from back over in Cantha.
I loved the fact with Factions you could craft up 'top quality' armour as soon as you arrived from another continent... with Nightfall it seems like you will probably complete the game before you have a set of fully modded armour...

So you could grind for it

Getting them is not the problem I'm having it seems they cannot go on any of my armor from Tyria or Canthia.

Do insignia only drop in Nightfall? Or do the also drop in previous chapters? If they drop in Factions or Prophecies I'm sure people who farm for those things can find a supply of them...
Not really related, but does anyone know if runes from factions and nightfalls drop in prophecies? Been wondering for a while now.

Come on, ANet. It's an interesting idea, but you need the drops to be as common as runes if you're going to be able to trade for them. Otherwise they simply won't work!

the rune trader is selling them (sometimes)

The rune trader sells the crap ones that people don't want, any useful ones I find - I keep. I'd imagine anyone with half a brain would do the same since they're so rare. I camped the trader for about 15 minutes and didn't see a single energy one.

The armor insignias I have found are +2 energy & +10 armor while attacking, the ones I found & sold (to rune trader) are +15 against fire & some other maningless I didnt even look twice at.

I really like that we can customize armor and all but I really feel the same way, get rid of the armor insignias or increase drop rate or add a crafter. Prices shouldn’t be over 100 gold either.

I've gotten ritualist runes to drop in the shiverpeaks so they do drop in prophecies. (mind this was pre nightfall release so no idea about insigs.)
Storage will be the hassle for this stuff until I get around to crafting top end armor for the older toons. (after all, knowing I'll be buying armor for the monk sort of lends itself to saving those insigs.)

about 10 hours of play here, found over 20 insignias so far, played a paragon, alreayd have full 15K armor with runes (no sup spear yet though, only minor leader, command and motivation) and found 4 insignias with the +10 while effected by a shout so I have full centurions now, dunno if the helmet can carry one, shoeld try. But im not having any problems at all, maybe im just lucky.
Bringer Of Fury
I have found about 10-15 armor insignias so far, dont know how many hours but i have completed all of the missions and some of the side quests.
Since they drop less often than runes and will be in bigger demand i belive the prices will go quite high until the rune farming will become more common. Most mobs in NF drops runes and there are alot of easily farmable mobs.
I would have prefered a merchant selling them at set prices with a limitless supply, with so many different types some will most likely be in short supply and hard to get.

every armor blue, purple, and gold has an insignia in them, they are quite common. But the shitty party is its not what your looking for, ever because of Murphy's Law. Im really not sure how your gonna be a ble to mod your armor fully but i know itll take time.

Anyone seen one to give Bloodstained Boots? as once again my MM is wearing Shiny New 15K armour with old boots......

I've gotten one insignia so far.
I think it would be a lot better if the insignias were sold by a merchant with constant prices rather than a trader that fluctuates. It would suck if you just blew all your cash on shiny new 15k armor; then find out the insignias you want are upto 10k each.

LifeInfusion
I think perhaps if we give it time more will start to appear. Why? most people are saving them atm. This means the demand is comparitively high to the supply. Plus as more players progress through Nightfall and/or purchase the chapter, there will be more sources (supply).

could you not go back to tyria/cantha and buy a set of armor there and salvage insignias?
Lyonette
insignias are exclusive to nightfall armors at this point. you couldn't salvage insignias off of canthan or tyria armor cos they work completely differently...
this issue sounds like it's going to be the bane of every elonian character....

I've been losing sleep playing the game since it was released. I have seen Radiant insignias in the rune trader once during that time, and it was sold out when I clicked it.
I've only managed to buy one radiant insignia so far (for quite a lot more than what the rune trader would have sold it at), and with the armors that I want to craft, I'll need 28 of them (32 if I want to get the endgame warrior armor).
The insignia idea is beautiful on paper, but the current implementation leaves much to be desired.
I've posted an idea in the game suggestion forum for having them add insignia crafters to the game. If you want to go voice your opinions on the matter, check it out here:

Well I have found when I apply it to my armor piece that already has a rune, it over writes it. So it is either I have that piece runed or with an insignia. Or am I doing it wrong :-/

Hi all, are these global, I added oned to my ele armours gloves, +5 armour with req 9 in each element.
Armour + 5 req 9 fire
Armour + 5 req 9 water
Armour + 5 req9 air
Armour + 5 req 9 earth
I'm guess the + 5 armour is global to the set and not just a boast to a single piece when hit there?

There is a problem with insignas.
They can be used only on night fall armor; but what about assasin and ritualist one????
only for pvp?
in that case, why rune traders have this type of insignas?
can someone help me?

The problem with insignas it that they rarely drop by themselves and they often have a rune with them.

I can see why they went the insignia route as it will be more beneficial a long time from now but I think it was poorly implemented.

I'm happy with the insignia system. I had only 3 drops in 2 Days on the mainland and bought 12 at the rune trader.1 I used for my tyrian char and the rest on the heros.
I don't want to have a perfect armor after 4.5 days because I need something else that keeps me busy not only missions and quests.
I'm happy everytime I find an insignia. If they would drop more frequently it would take away the joy of finding something new.
