FoW Armor, how to get it?
Iscana
I got GuildWars since the beginning, have bought Factions and Nightfall as well, and still enjoy playing it. Now there is something what's still bothering me, how are people able to buy FoW armor?
Since the beginning of this year I started to waste as less money as I could and get enough for my Ritualist FoW armor. Right now I have 187k, 3 ecto's, 4 Obsidian shards and 1 ruby, well this is my total value I have towards FoW armor.
My question is, how are people being able to actually buy 2 times a FoW armor on there account? I play 3 days a week 2/3 hours for fun, and that's all I can play, but it takes me ages. I wonder how I can improve my way of getting more money for my FoW armor. I already farm a few places which are: UW (ecto's en sell another drops, average value a run 4k 30 min), Augury Rock around Kepkhet (farm there around 3k 20 min + 1 or 2 greens sometimes), Temple of the Ages (farm undead, nightmares, 2/3k a run 20 min)
I wonder if someone can help me giving some tips to get faster towards my FoW armor, my goal was to get it this year, but it seams I can't find a good way of making enough money to buy it.
I read very ofthen this farming thread as well guides, but most of them are out dated or just don't make enough money. I heard people getting 10 in 30min or 50k in 1.5 hour, I wonder how they do that. I also tried selling items and get the prices from this forum, but it's a pain in the ass to sell things. My last point which I think could be something nice it to do Chest runs, but then I have to sell golds to people which takes ages.
Anyways I would be pleased if someone could help me a little on how to get enough money for FoW armor.

im sorry too say its ebay im not saying ALL people who have FoW armor used ebay (i know many with FoW armor who didn't)... but a good number of em did keep up the good work and don't give into ebay you WILL get your armor soon.

I know for a fact that my old guild leader used ebay to get his ectos / shards. You can get it just by investing time, or proposing to your guild what I've done: You have your guild get FoW armor for your core gvg team, then expand to the rest of the guild (basically the 8 of you farm when you can to get FoW...1 - 2 runs in UW and you already have a piece of armor). I've seen people do it before (and it worked), but a lot of people with FoW armor use ebay.

Just keep farming, l managed to farm up to 90 shards and 25ectos just by doing some fow or UW runs everyday, or do some power trading once in awhile, just dont give in to ebay!
Or maybe even easier, buy low sell high with ectos in mass quantities.

The Rt/Me build still works for UW solos, albeit it takes a few minutes longer. It still is a viable build to accumulate ectos. It took about 4 days to build my Rt/Me from scratch, to get the skills and necessary equipment. After the 1st month of UW farming, I had maybe 120 ecto.
I dislike when people say that a lot of people with FoW armor use e bay. How do they know?

Here's how I got my set...
I solo'd FoW with my necro... only as far as i can get. over and over. Kept all the shard drops. sometime more than 4 shards a run (ofcourse sometimes none)
I solo'd Uw with my Vwk Rit... full smite run = 1-3 ectos (ofcourse sometimes none). I kept all the ecto drops.
I found an easy green that i can solo... over and over... sell the green for the money, materials and buy shards and ectos with the extra cash...
and I do play more than you do...
If you go EBAY stop playing guildwars, because since you bought money for armor on ebay why stop there go, buy someone to play guildwars for you too...
Theres nothing more satisfying than getting your own set of HARD earned FOW armor... I do empasize the hard part.
My Necro got her birthday present (mini jade armor) almost the same time i completed here FOW armor... so that should give you an idea how long it took.
(keep the black dye drops also.... with all this farming I was able to self dye my fow armor with black dye too)
-------------------
On another note... If you are able to find a green that sells for a lot then you will get your fow faster (key word is faster not easily)... for example i used to farm and sell the stonereaper back when it used to sell for 40k ea. He dropped so often that ur storage would be full. imagine selling 3-4 of these a session... another example used to be ghials staff back when it used to sell for 80k...
So Find a green in elona tha YOU can solo easily.... Keep doing this over and over for an hour... then spend the next hour selling, jumping from outpost to outpost. (patience is key, do not lower your price just because nobody bought in the last 2 mins,if nobody buys jump to another outpost or dist, or heck sell it tomorrow)
Fow armor really takes time to get, it was meant to...

One big tip:
Dont change from build to build! Try different builds untill you get one you like. Then stay with that build and dont switch between builds.
I used to switch from build to build hopelessly, not making any money.
My advice- stick with a build and farm it for a set time every week.
If you farm for 4 hours(more or less) every week, you can make a lot of money. You can easily find a build that get you at least 30k/hour.
4X30= 120k in just one week!!!!!
120X4= 480k in a month!!
2X480k= 960k!!!!
Only 2-3 months of farming and you got urself FoW armor.
Personally though, i dont see why everyone wants FoW armor. It costs so muh for what? looks? for someone to say "nice armor"? Id save my money and use it to enjoy game and have fun!
Another thing- Luck can give you FoW armor
~If you happen to be lucky and get that perfect drop with rare skin that sells for a mil- BAM right there from a single drop is FoW armor.
So if you really want FoW armor just pick a build and farm it for a set period of time each week.
Before you know it youll have FoW armor.(If that really what you want.)

Trading and chest runs are probably the best methods now, farming is a bit more annoying since they AI scatter. Just don't expect to make money instantly - unless you see an item that you know can make profit from for sale.
Also, it can be quite hard to lose money from chest runs. Say you buy 100 desolation keys - thats 60k gone. However if you manage to sell everyone of those items for 1k (doesn't sound much), you have already made a 40k profit, some will only be worth selling to merchant, some will have upgrades you can sell and there is of course the chance that you can get an Elemental Sword or something that will put you into profit from just 1 item out of the 100. If you don't like selling items in game just make a thread here, if your prices are right, they will sell, and without all of the in-game trade annoyance

Powertrading is one of the most effective ways to get it from what I hear. I have many friends within the game that max out their storage bank in about a week or so by powertrading for a few hours each day.

I have a question, Is it really illegal to buy gold off ebay? Not that I do it myself, but up to now, I didnt really think much about it.

Buy low, sell high. Get FoW. Enjoy!

ppppffff......FoW is nothing.
I'm saving for 3 tormentor weapons with no luck getting a group or guild for DoA.
With the price of gemstones its about 2.5 mil per weapon.

You could do a lot of Heroes' Ascent and try to win HoH. If you're lucky you could get a Req 9 15^50 Crystalline like my guildie -.- 5 mill right there, enough for FoW.

First off respect for trying to get FOW armor for you ritualist (my favorite class). I was thinking about doing the same thing, but not sure yet.
Sorry to be off topic but does anyone have pictures of ritualist FOW armor?
Thanks

My way of making money is farming green items with my elementalist, over 30 greens items alone i can farm and sell to many types of people or with my Guild that does Fast Faction Farming.
And try to do some chest farming at Vabi as you can get some good weapons and ruby/jewled daggers that turn into Ruby's etc or farming Djinn as they are good form of getting money.
I got Fow armor myself, I dont like it when people say that people with fow armor have used Ebay because you will find out only a few people would ever use Ebay to get money for a set of armor that takes some effort to get,
Oh yeah I had loads of people saying to me I used Ebay to get my armor but i laugh right back at there fat faces :P Its not impossible to get Fow armor just work at it! You will find your self very happy with yourself afterwoods

???? tell me this build
Btw. I've used to farm with duo uw before the neft. Got my Fow pants for my necro in 2 weeks. Now I'm farming with my VwK Rit. The only problem is that I've overfarmed the UW, and gettig like 1 ecto every 15 run. UW is worthless IMO.

2X480k= 960k!!!! Euh? I have a Ritualist/Mesmer and I can kill almost all enemies in Prophecies with no problem, but 30k a hour is plain impossible if I look at mine Rit. I can easely do 5/8k a hour, but 30k a hour, lol what do you farm then? I can take out almost anything, the onces I have problems with are those Trolls near Droknar which I actually killed all just once but those drops were plain crap as well the almost no gold drop. Those walking birds there, cara somthing, mmh I can kill them but drops are really bad. What I do now is farming those Scarabs near Augury rock and can easely take up 12 or more of them at once. Even when they drop nice things and big gold it still doesn't bring it to 30k a hour.
I'm really curious how you do it, maybe you can show me ingame. ?

30k an hour WAS possible before Nerf. I was farming elonas in under 2 mins, that included loading, and selling everything too. now it takes about 4 mins. 15k an hour is not worth it i think.
|pyro|
It took me 2 and a half months to get my fow :S,
At first I was the SS necro or the 55 hp monk old skool style.
After ppl started to use Spirit Bond more and more I was a smiter or a Spirit Bonder.
After noobs started to say SB is nerfed I went and added one skill to the build and it worked even better and got the rest of the ecto.
Bought it, was happy, still cant understand why some one pays 45$ for game then gives 50$ for ecto shards gold off ebey to buy armor THAT DOES NOTHING BUT LOOKS NICER(imo).

Ok 30k/hour might be a stretch for some people but definetly not impossible. For instance:
Farming Greens- If you farm for an hour and then sell for an hour you can get around 60k(more or less dependin on luck with drops) witch is about 30k per hour.
Rune Farming- In kryta there are numerous places to farm runes. In one hour you can get around 20+ runes(more or less)+weapon mods+money drops. Now this might not always get you 20k an hour. One day the runes will be bad and you'll make like 10k, another day you get sup. runes that are expensive and make 30k.
Chest Running- It might take you 20 hours of chest running to get that perfect wep that sell for a ton. Lets say it sells for 200k. That 20k+ALL OTHER DROPS per hour.
Running- Ask people in guildwars how they got FoW. I bet half of them will say running. Their are plenty of running builds that make you at least 30k per hour. Droks runs for intsance. you charge 5-10k. Thats 30-50k depending what you charge in around an hour.(More or less depending on how long it takes to form group)
Mission Running-This is another great way to get money. If your smart and find a mission that has a high demand, you could make a good profit there. Lets say you run Consulate Docks. Youll have no trouble gettting a group in under 5 min. Each run is about 20min(more if your not as good). An average charge is 2k. Thats 30k in a little more than an hour. Plus there are many other missions out there to be ran, for maybe a bigger profit.
There are plenty of other places to run and farm that could be even better than what I said.
Do not think 30k per hour is impossible.

i have farmed all the ectos and shards to myself
i did UW with ss/sv first - but i get tired of scammer/stupid 55hp monks - so i made a farming monk for myself to do UW - and i did Fow with my warrior
It didnt took me 2 months to gather the 120 ecto and 120 shard, and to make a lvl 20 ascended farming monk in prophecies - so its not that hard, to get the ingredients for a complett set...the funny thing is, that it took me 3 weeks, to do the quests in fow, to get the armor :P

On my ranger I could get an utterly insane amount of shards in a day farming FoW forest. I think I got like 14 shards in a few hours or so...If you're on european servers it's pretty easy to just farm the shards/ecto...then farm more for the 75k or so that you need to pay the crafter. Once you have your shards just switch to a Rt/Me VwK soloer or another fast smite runner to get your ectos.

So powerfarming spots and save up for a long time.......Guess I'll have to make a ritualist to farm UW (it can farm other things too) Cetainly stone scale, vermin, grawl, wardens, trolls, hydras, and minos wont pay for FoW (probably could but all those mobs barely drop 1-1.5k, which means many many many runs to pay for FoW) Oh well I guess I should start my 1 billion hours farming for FoW =]

You can get FoW in a week by buying/selling for profit.

The first time I quit GW I gave away all of my items,... I came back with NOTHING. I traded some Diablo II SoJs for about 100k, and by the end of the week I had 1000k buy/selling.

if you build up your cash reserves up to around 700k-1 million, you can easily trade high end items and make plenty of money. Build up your contacts and you'll eventually have people coming to you to broker items.
With my list of buyers and sellers right now, I make roughly 300-500k a day and I only have to spend the time to make money when my buyers and sellers come online to trade.

Am I the only one who bought his fow armor by running ?
I was a guaranteed Droknar runner before the nerf. So that makes 15k in 20 minutes, and 45k in an hour (add in the tips for another 3-5k). When I found out that I was making good money with that business, I decided to buy fow, it was I think october last year.
So I made a schedule. I'm no nerd who has no life but GW so I didn't abuse the running business. Decided to run 4 times everyday, 2 in the morning 2 in the evening. With this schedule , adding in the extra runs, extra drops, time spent gaming other than running, I menaged to build the cash to buy the armor in 2 months roughly.
I know that u don't wanna hear a nerfed solution. But if you grind a good running character you can still win good amounts of cash on the routes still available to running. Say Warcamp -> Citadel runs 2k each 7-10 minute run. 7 people makes 14k which is absolutely great income. Or if that's too hard for you, go make Elona Reach runs, run the mission for 2k each, again 7-10 minute run for 10k.
That's serious profit if u set it into the right schedule.

That's true, but to do so you'll have to make some sort of money reserve to get going, which means a good number of runs off the nerfed mobs i farm lol. Then of course I'll have to take that class Powertrading 101 =]

You can do run with dervish. I will be posting my build for this on guru shortly.

Anyone know of any sort of "starters guide" for buy/selling? Always wanted to give it a try...and I really want my FoW :P

Thanks for the help, I'm trying out new places and missions to farm in and see what's the most profitable place in 1 hour farming. Also I have now 200k (didn't farmt aht much these holidays) and gonna use it for buying some greens as well selling them with the use of Green prizing topics, and hope I can make some money with it. I also bought some pets for around 5k/10k each while some of them sell for 25k ofthen. I even got a Gray Giant for 2k.

A friend of mine got 2 sets of FoW armor after about 6 months of play (Although, admittedly, he played about 5 hours a day every day). He did mostly PvP of the HoH variety.
Trophy Hunter
First of all i know many people that have bought fow armor but still cant underestand why they did it :S (personally i dislike these people especially when they are noob guildleaders)
I am playing about 5 months have fow armor for my char, spend over 1.5million in keys, found about 2000 gold items that if sold 1k each (actually they are 1.5k or more) another 2 million and now i am just collecting rare weapons and helping my bros fow
Running is a good way to earn money-> never done it
Green Farming is a good way to earn money -> Only urgoz bows+chests there (Trapper party rocks)
Fow / Uw quite good place -->doing it when i get bored
Team Activities is the best way to earn money --->
a)team chest running was able to get 60-100k about per day(3 hours) (nerfed)
b)Tyria Murssaat Farming / Sephis axe Hunt / and more with human party only and share drops above 50k
c) Desolation area Human party farm/chest run
d)Buy low sell hight --->always get rid of anything below 10k fast maximize profit for everything 20k+ and search for rare item collectors for 80k+ (guru etc) -->AVOID RESELLERS--> Never sell maxed upgrades below min cost and never buy at max unless you want others buy fow with your own money. Check for price lists , and ask trustworthy officers
e)Stockpile items that collectors need for events
d)Enjoy the game
Personally i think GW is the best game there is out there Dont let E-bay or other people spoil it

Personaly i farmed UW and FOW before the big farm nerf.
(monk / necro duo and spider runs.)
got like 20 ecto and 40 shards of it and some lucky drops in there.
But the most i earned by farming greens. Its easy and normaly i get at least 3drops each hour.
when factions just started i sold Sskai swords for 30k - 40k, so i made like 90k in one hour.
And i farmed a lot of other greenies too.
Although prices dropped really quick, i was able to make a lot of money in a few days, and it stayed a nice way for me to make money untill Anet decided to give us a +3 drop rate weekend.
anyway farming something new is probably the best way to earn money.
Cuz many people always want the newest stuff.
trading too, but you will need some money to start with +/- 300k
