im wondering if it is possible to change the inscription on a tormented weapon or if it has to stay 15^50.
any help would be appreciated
tormented weapon question

Though I'm sure noone has gotten a torment weapon yet. (25 of each gem 0.0) I'm 99% sure that, like all other "inscribable" weapons, focuses, etc. that the inscription can be changed.

any help would be appreciated question is why would u want to change it? 15^50 is great.
but i'm sure they are just like normal gold items so u can put a +5e on the weapons.
but i'm sure no one will ever get one for some time.....
25 each gem
100 total
wow
who the hell in anet thought up of this one?

It's just a thought - maybe these are the "fissure armour" equivalent of weapons. 
I'm anxious to see what they look like.

Collector's weapons do not allow present inscriptions to be changed. The Torment weapons guy is nothing more than a collector (he collects 25 of each gemstone), and therefore, I suspect that the inherent inscriptions are permanent. All unconfirmed ofcourse.

actually he collects an armbrace of truth(or something like that), you have to give some collector deep in the city of Tor'c Qua the 100 gems... insane in the membrane, got no brain..lol it's just insane..

Collector's weapons don't have inscriptions, they have inherent modifiers (aside from a handful that have open inscription slots). Tormented weapons all have inscriptions or open inscription slots.

I'm crying over the tormented weapons because I want a shield very much. However, it will cost 25 of each gem. 100 total. At the current going rate: at least 2.5 million in titan stones, ~2.5 million for 50 of the next most common stones (stygian and torment), and 625k in margonite stones. That means that one Torment item will cost at least 5.5million, if not closer to 10 million. (Titan gemstones will truly be the determining factor in the gold equivalent price as they currently sell for a sum of 100k + xx ectos. You can get them as cheaply as 100k and as expensive 100k + 50 ecto.)
Former Ruling
One guy was in DoA WTS'ing the str req Tormented Shield. I am skeptical he had it because he said he wouldnt show in trade til the person put up their end of the trade.

Read above. NF ones *do* have inscriptions.

What mini/axe did you get? Those are the 2 burning questions.Quote:

Rarely will you find Titan Gemstones under 100+xx ecto. Usually at about 100+20e (that's almost 300k each). How is 300 x 25 = 2500? I always thought 3x25=75. So try 'at least 10 mil each'.
I can't wait til the first person gets an ambrace of truth and sells it on eBay for about $1000. See the ingame economy go

Read above. NF ones *do* have inscriptions. Only on Istan are there a large number of inscribable items, which have nonmax attributes - so nobody cares about them. There are 5-6 max inscribable items you can get from collectors, which consist of Suntouched Scythes, Suntouched Spears, and Daedal Shields. In other words, a handful. And none of them have inscriptions already, only empty inscription slots.
Etrik
Try the ones in Turai's Procession, I think it was. Or Jahai Bluffs. There are 2 pretty close to one another in the ruins of what seems to be a small township. They have inscriptions, I've gotten an off-hand for my ele and replaced the inscription with one I actually wanted.
Savio
I tried both areas; neither of them offer elemental focii, let alone anything inscribable aside from a Spear and a Scythe. So, how about you post pics of these collectors and items instead?
Etrik
Poti. Do go check for yourself. I've already done that. (That was the one I got the fire wand from, I remember. The one that offers an elemental focus is Talmehinu)
Maxiemonster
Etrik, those are unchangable mods, not inscriptions.
Etrik
One of em was an inscription. I'm sure of it. Regardless, the GoA collector's items specifically state 'Inscription: This and That'. So it's replaceable.
Maria The Princess
some of them have inscriptions and some dont.

I believe I said that was at an absolute minimum, as I have seen some titan gemstones going for ~100k. Most sellers are charging 100k to 100k + 20 ectos. Also, as more people successfully complete various areas of DoA, the price for gemstones will drop. I still expect these weapons will still cost more than FoW armor. To put some perspective on the dollar cost, a quick scan of eBay reveals that 1 million in-game gold is ~$50. If we go with the current higher selling price for titan gems, we need 7.5 million for titan gems, 2.5 million for stygian and torment and 625k for margonite. Total 11 million in-game gold, which translates to a real world cost of $550.
As much as I want a pink shield, there's no way I am going to grind for months to get one. I'm also not insane enough to spend over 10x the cost of the game to get one item. The 100 gem requirement is completely insane for this item. If they had a value of ~10k (like ecto or rubies, etc), then the torment items would be a more reasonable goal. As it is now, I just collect and hold on to my gems in the insane hope that the prices will come down and I can eventually get what I want. Screw Razah. He isn't pink.
Drop of Fear
coffer of whispers can give tormented weapons as reward.
dansamy
Don't tell me that.
If 100 gems = guaranteed vambrace = guaranteed torment item of your choosing and coffer = 1/1000 chance of a random torment item, which one would you choose? Considering that 999 times, you'll get something retarded from a coffer, I want a guaranteed item. I'll keep saving, thanks.
Drop of Fear
in my guild we opened 4 coffers. got a minipet, 2 titan gemstones, axe and a scroll just about now. i dont call it a waste of gems. i sold my gems these days with such high prices, but i will keep them now to open a coffer myself
dansamy
Yes, but you guys got an axe, for which one of you may very well have a warrior that could use it. I specifically want a shield for one reason and one reason only: my monk. It matches her armor and will replace the Lotus Shield she currently carries.
Rera
@Drop:
Which minipet, and what kind of axe? Those are the only potentially worthwhile rewards. Getting titan gemstones back isn't a significant gain - you basically traded a margonite+stygian+torment for a titan gem. The scroll is just a slap to the face. The point is, little Maya wants a specific torment shield, out of all of the hundreds (thousands?) of possible drops from a coffer. It simply isn't cost/time-effective to play odds when there's only one item you actually want. I'm interested in the torment shields also, but I want to see actual screenshots of them worn by monks before I invest any significant effort into getting one. Given how some of the other Nightfall shield skins look, and given how some of those skins, uh, 'interact' with the monk's arm, it may end up being a waste of effort.
Soma Cruz
for me if thats shield is not animated then it is a waste of time... NF skins are even worst than faction, such as the War sunspear armors it is no different from a kurzick armor with out the Scale part...
shield model clipping are just so bad on Primeval Armor for war, i hate ppl got paid and not doing their job. also if you did pay attation to the torment sword LOGO it looks no different from a Brute Sword in black dye... so i hate the idea of making hard to get things look like rubbish, coz after all it would be a waste of time. dansamy
The shield is animated. I have appropriate confirmation from a reliable source.

Yes, little Maya wants one specific item, and I realize I'm behaving quite badly over it. (Especially considering my IRL age.

He didn't say he got a *Torment* Axe. He said he got an axe.

I haven't seen any confirmed Torment weapons, but there's a thread with multiple pics of the new minipet:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10088619
Etrik
I know about the pics of the mini pet. Drop just didn't say what mini pet it was. Tho I imagine it was the Mallyx one, it'd be stupid to get a Bone Dragon or something from the coffer. I'm too tired.. again -.-"
Drop of Fear
tormented axe, same as the one u are supposed to buy for 25 gems of each kind, and mallyx green minipet
Etrik
Pic of the Tormented Axe? And is this the first non-asian Mallyx mini?
dansamy
I'd love to see a full-size shot of the axe as well.
Unfortunately, I only have "verbal" confirmation that the tormented shield has an animation "glimmer" to it, similar to the way Margonites shimmer.
Anarkii
The Mallyx minipet looks pretty unimpressive to me, though it might sell for a fortune. Would love to see a pic of the tormented axe as well
Morgoth the dark
i would like to see that axe too

You will never see pix of something that doesnt exist.

well they do, it's a question of a time when they pop out :P
Etrik
They do? Picture please. Don't have one? They don't until proven otherwise. Simple, really.
Cygnus_Zero
That's what I'm saying. People talking about owning it means nothing to anyone here without visual proof.

go to the collector and you see pictures. If collector has them, they exist, dont they?
lol ppl use ur brains Cygnus_Zero
We know they technically exist. What we're saying is that people here are talking abou owning them, but have no pictures. What I'm wondering is, does anyone that's playing the game have one of these weapons yet? It's an incredible amount of work to earn 100 gems. And if you wanted to buy them, it would cost around 10 mil. And that wouldnt work anyway since there are none for sale.
