Well the new weapons you can get through the "Weapons Keeper", and they're quite cool... Like the skin.. But dunno yet wether the Armguards you need to get them are drops or quest rewards.

All the best and latest info for the Elite NF zones is here::
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...083002&page=20

The first pic gets you a Coffer, which im not sure what it is for yet. But the second pick is seperate and as you can see in the text requires an Armbrace of Truth that you get somewhere in the Elite zones...

Just to note...The offhands dont have an "inherent" +30 - Its "Of Fortitude".

The difference between "Inherent" and "from an inscription or mod" should be rightly noted about anything now that it can be either way.

however, such mods on COLLECTOR items are not salvagable. For these items, i have no idea if they follow the same rules. Then again, who would take the risk of destroying an item that takes SO much effort to get. lol. idk

Just food for thought.
cheers.

I just hope the weapons are worth the extreme effort required to get them. Judging from the Icons they look quite "meeeh". 25 is quite a number oO

The shield is animated... but to bad that it doesn't fit my armor style.
Guess that means I'll never have to get one.

T W E N T Y - F I V E!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?! THERE HAS GOT TO BE SOME MAJOR FARM SPOT FOR THOSE BUGGERS! I mean, they only introduced 4 quests. And if the armbrace (if that is really what ya get after doin that) is like the book and amulet, then if you do get those off of quests, u obviously would only get one. But yeah (( I don't wanna have to pay a fortune for that shield >_<.

If the Spirit of Truth is the one that crafts the Armbraces... I think we just found the weapon equivalent of Obsidian armor.

I was looking forwards to seeing some of the item skins, too... it'll be a long time before anyone can afford one, unless the gems drop like Glittering Dust in FoW in the later areas.

It hasn't even been out for 24 hours yet. Its a bit premature to make speculations. Only time will tell us what we need.

According to the official GW website, "coffers contain valuable and oftentimes rare items."

Now I'm interested in getting one of these...

The spirit of truth will appear after you complete the first (and presumably any) part of the Mallyx quest.

FYI: I've seen a Margonite Gemstone drop from the mobs in the City. They're all colored gold.

Gemstones aren't extremely hard to get, they drop as frequent as golds do.

Yes, of course, getting 100 gold drops of the same kind is obviously not hard.

10 hours of playing and saw 3 drops for the party (not including the chest).
I got 1 for me, from the chest at the end of the City part of the quest, heavily guarded by an insane boss.

Now, all I have to do is do this 99 times more.
Piece of cake.

You - A group of 8 lvl 20 strangers with an assortment of experimental skills that just don't seem to work!

Margonites - An Elite force of highly programmed AI lvl 28's in a mob of 8-24 that work in unison to form the perfect killing machine!

Did I burst anyone's bubble?

There's also a Stygian Scythe (same skin and stats as the Terror Scythe, only with a 20% enchant instead of +30 hp mod), and a 10/10 Soul Reaping wand (1-handed Willcrusher skin).

I personally haven't been wowed yet by anything dropped in Realm of Anguish. Now for some crazy guild to pool their gems together and get one of those Tormented weapons...

At the very first days of GW the cost of FoW armor (105 ecto 105 shards) seemed ridiculous but now dozens of thousands players have them, they're everywhere. The new 100-gemstones items are just like that, a long term goal to keep players occupied. I expect them to become common in time when efficient methods of farming them will be discovered.

I noticed the little icons for each weapon make it look like a big frame. Maybe it will have a bunch of energy running throughout it, like Margonite limbs, etc. If so, I have must have the sword.
