well, i got my first three sets back when i could farm gold and the mats easily, now i play wow and want fow armor for my warrior to make my gw experience complete. im poor now (~100k) because i completely pimped my chars before i went to wow, except fow for my warrior
so my question is, do you all think its worth it to get fow for my warrior? and if so, how should i go about getting the gold/collecting the mats?
worth it getting a set of fow?

yes, except if it's not (then no)

Elite missions will usually net ya some cash, but I think UW ectos is still the way to go. Now that ectos are around 10k again, you'll save money by getting them yourself and you can sell the extras for fair amount of cash.
korcan
You placed a 100k+80e bid on a colossal scimitar in the high-end sell forum. I don't think that you're too poor.
If you really want FoW that bad, don't buy the sword and invest in the armor.

So you're gonna buy FoW and leave GW immediately after that? Some people sure have a weird idea about 'closure'...
That having said: play the market, still the quickest way to earn cash.

Wouldn't bother myself, warrior FoW isn't all that great..I'd get Primevil over it.
atkafighter
I would say that FOW armor isn't worth it, because well its just armor... I only have one piece of 15k armor (Canthan warrior), and I'm pretty satisfied with it. FOW armor imho has lost all its prestige, and I always thought the leggins were pretty ugly.
Ultimately its up to you, and I hope your happy with your decision.
Good luck, and I hope you give GW another chance someday

Tom, I might have a couple ecto to help you on your way. Hit me up if you see me in game.
EternalTempest
@ OP, the true answer is - do you want Fow.
Yes - Get it
No - Use money else where
I would stop over to Guildwiki and look at all the warrior armor sets and pick the one you want.
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Warrior_armor
If your asking other if you see FOW, what to do you think, my answer is this, you have money. Not skill, or ability to play, you just are wealthy.
I know some people earned with bloods sweat and tears, other did ebay, or they very good farmers / played at the right time.
If I were to party with you how you play your character/build tells me how good you are.
Again, if you get the "ahh, this is cool" feeling before I move on to Wow by all means go for it.

Any armor can look good if you know how to dye it right. And not all armor look good in black.
xxSilhouette
I suggest get it if you like it. I would never spend that much gold on armor i didn't like just to have it.
But also don't just listen to the "well everyone has it thing..." If you really like it and think it is worth your time, money and effort then by all means get it.

If you like the look of the stuff better than any of the other available armor out there, then go for it. Otherwise, don't bother.

Female Monk, Mesmer and Necro are the only FoW worth getting. 
Crystal Of Winter
as good as FoW female monk is, I still prefer 1.5k Kurzick XDDD
but I can't trust myself getting FoW armor for certain characters as I have a habit of deleting my characters over silly things "i'm bored of her eyes now >_>"...(deleted about 16 15k sets now >.<)
BUT my monk is still going, still got her from 2005 xD so might get her FoW...
Although it's really up to you if you think you can spend that much on armor :P

Yeah i agree that obsidian armor isnt that great-looking... if i ever got it, it would be to prove i have money.
SirShadowrunner
Actually just about all armor from Factions on has a somewhat smoother and
better textured look to it than FoW I think, just look at someone ig real
close and FoW starts to look muddled, were 15k kurzick still has better
definition, imo.........

IMO, fissure armor doesn't have the level of detail that 15k Factions and NF armor provide (at a much cheaper price). The only Fissure armor I really want is the Ritualist armor. That looks hot!

What else are you going to spend your money on?
Senator Tom
so i suppose uw farming now is soa and famine?
i used to run it by myself with two accounts open with a tank and a holy wrath smiter
but anyways, i have fow on my monk, my necro, and my old warrior who got bug deleted or something.
also if i get it it wont be black, it would probably be blue or some shade of red. my warrior already has sets of 15k tyrian glads, 15k kurz, 15k canth endgame, primeval, and vabbi
thanks so far for the advice, especially cap (i'll be on this weekend)

also this isnt an opinion thread, please dont post about how bad you think warrior fow looks.
Priest Of Sin
Well, FoW used to be extremely high-end armor, before gold selling companies surfaced in-game. Now, it's lost much of it's pizzazz, because any guy can go spend $50 or so, get a million gold, and go buy a set. Look at it this way...
Primeval says you DID something. You finished Nightfall and aren't super-terrible at PvE. FoW says one of two things: you are a farming fanatic that is extremely obsessed with having the best-of-the-best armor (meeeee!), or you are a 10 year old kid who spent $50 of daddy's money. :P
It's all personal preference, FoW is significantly more expensive than other sets, so if you buy 1 set of FoW, you will not have a whole lot of fluid cash for awhile.
My advice? Go buy warrior FoW.

blood4blood
I think you answered your own question -- if you feel getting FoW for your warrior will help complete your GW experience, do it & enjoy. It sounds like you want it to complete a collection, not so much for looks. You just have to balance out for yourself whether spending the time & money to get the armor is worth it - will you enjoy doing it, or will it just be a chore to work through for the final sense of completion? If it's a chore, then you you have to ask yourself whether that completion is worth the hassle of getting there. (Or to quote "The Girl Next Door" - is the juice worth the squeeze? LOL)
Sofonisba
I feel like if I ever farm enough materials for FoW armor, I’ll never feel justified to buy another set of armor for my character, since I would already have “the best.”
But since you will not have the temptation of new armors, because you’re really playing WoW, go for it if you want it. Doesn’t seem like a hard decision.
Unless you want to give all your money and materials to your ig friends/guildies, which would be really nice for them. (And which I would do.)

I love it to death, and Prime Evil does look alright IMO. It reminds me too much of fable. FoW armor for every class (Except dervish and sin IMO) are completely unique to whereever they can get armor in any campaign.

To sum it up, if anything in this game makes your warrior look like the shredder from ninja turtles, it's worth getting.
Gregslot
Well... i think im the only one who sees armor in a whole other context.
To me, the armor set isnt just a "cool looking skin" that your character will wear, wich you should have all sets. There is only one armor that your character should have, and that depends on what you want your character to be, and of course, the dye can make you look like something else (but that also depends on the armor)
Here are some examples, for warrior, since we are talking about it.
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Ascended_Ascalon_Armor: Barbarian
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Warrior...latemail_Armor: Royal Knight
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Ascende...ator%27s_Armor: the name says it all, Gladiator
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Warrior..._Canthan_Armor: Imperial General
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Warrior..._Kurzick_Armor: Temple Guardian
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Warrior...xon_Armor/Male: Demon from The Deep (the helm is essencial)
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Warrior_Primeval_Armor: Awakened Devil
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Warrior_Obsidian_Armor: Underworld Champion
So basically depends on what you want your character to be.
Dont try to mix armor pieces, they hardly ever match and they will ruin the "theme".

Just get the armor YOU like more.

It's all about the looks for me. If I like it, I get it. If I don't like it, I don't. I've never regretted any armor purchase yet. =)

Almost everyone has a warrior character, and because of that, when you are going to get a fow armor, you get it for your warrior.
We cant get a real number, but im almost sure 50% of the obsidian armors, are warriors.
The same goes for the primeval armor, soon or later people will get tired of seeing it and might get other armors.

Like someone else said, go to guildwiki and find the armor you like. I took my ele through factions just to get the luxon 15k, and it was worth it.
FoW armor is not longer the status symbol it used to be, but if you have the means, and want it, have fun with it. Remember, this is fake armor on a fake character purchased with fake money. No matter what, you don't lose anything by buying it.
