Well I was wondering how everyone managed to get their money for a FoW armor. Did you farmed everything, or did you got lucky with certain drops in certain areas?
Maybe this will also inspire people (like me) to go to new places in order to get that FoW armor.
I don't know if there's a topic like this already, I couldn't find it atleast.
How did you get your FoW armor?

My first one i got when i farmed titan gems with a friend while they were still worth it.
My second one I got when HM came out and I got a r9 and r10 colossal scimitar before the prices plummeted.

Farmed like 20 ectos with W/Rt waaaaay back (ectos @ 12k), then got bored and started powertrading. Managed to get my money really fast, bought my second set when ectos were 5,5k each, couldnt resist it (money with powertrading still). Bought my third set a week ago, ectos are too low now, so I had to buy another one 
. I get all my money with powertrading like many other ppl.

October/november 2005, when ectos was 15k each.
Small trapper teams in UW, spider farming in FoW with my warrior, forest farming in FoW with my ranger.
Some decent drops, but nothing really amazing.
A crapload of farming, basically.

I got my necro's set in January 2006, after farming minotaurs, Sorrow's Furnace, Tombs and 55/SS farms with guildies. Took me a couple weeks.
My second set came mostly from W/Rt solo farm runs and Tombs runs, spanning 4 months (casual playing for 2 months). I got the 3rd set within a week from DOA famine/600/smite farming, and about 3 weeks of farming the same spot for my 4th. I casually farmed with the W/Rt and did DOA runs for my 5th, while I gave in and bought my 6th after a week spent in UW on my permasin.

I have 2 FoW armor sets.
One I bought before Factions release and cost me ~1.500.000 gold.
I mainly got my income from farming greens at Sorrow's Furnace and some Duo 55/SS UW farming with my brother. In those days ecto's were ~10K.
The second was for my primairy character. She turned GWAMM last december and everybody kept telling me that she needs a FoW-set for the HoM. I didn't like the armor but still bought it last february. Playing HA earned me quite some gold and I spend everything I had on this armor. Costing ~900K Ecto's were ~5K at that time.

I literally have my monk to thank. 600/smite and 55/SS all 105 of my ectos/shards for my FOW armor. Took me almost 3 months. Then SF got buffed...I manged to get 2 sets of chaos gloves in 3 weeks. But I love the FoW armor since I worked my ass off for it. And tbh, I would probably do it again

I was going to wait until ectos dropped to 1K and get it the lazy way, but then the twits at anet got involved.

Doing a lot of farming off and on, but mostly through just playing the game. It never felt rushed.
Aera Lure
My warrior got hers through tons of running back in Prophecies-only days. Some farming, but running was vastly more fun back then.
My monk got hers primarily through all-guild FoW runs. She also farmed UW a bit back then.

my First obsis For nec, Ectos were 15k/ea & shards 3.7k/ea got around 3 ectos & 10 shards from farming fow/uw,
rest of the cash was from quests,missions, gameplay & running ppl to places etc, it was loads of work but managed do it :P
Second one,(War) i got vanquishin & some power trading & chest running got some lucky drops.
Third, and probably last (monks) i got with pure power trading. took around 3weeks to get all that money..

First set: Ebayed it when ectos were 15k
Second set: Scammed 3 people of pretty items
Jokes aside
My first set of FoW was not for me but i farmed my butt of to get it for her.
Second Set i farmed my butt of for myself. Then i deleted that character and made a new one, bought him FoW after having played loads of HM. And my soon to be fourth set i got by getting an Everlasting Golem thing which i sold 2 days before the SF nerf, made me even richer. Thanks ANet, now i just need them to nerf the new version again and bump ectos too 5K^^

Spider Pig
I got my first Obsidian Armor a week ago for my Elementalist.
I farmed raptors in the 3rd Birthday Event and bought my Obsidian Shards with some of this money (bought it when Shards were 1.1k).
I farmed a little to get the ectos, but I bought most of them with money I got from the Xunlai Predictions and money that was left from the raptor farming.
By the way, there is already a thread like this in the farming section.

Farming Fahranur, The First City as a 55 monk.
A LOT.

I paid for my first by prot bond 55 farming UW way back in the day. My trip to get the armor was also my first trip ever to the FoW.
Since this was well before heroes and I was in a pvp guild at the time I had to pay people on my friends list to come make a party.
Also, back then America only had favor for like 2 hours a day, so I basically waited all day for favor and then had to pay all these people to come get it with me. It sucked, but made it feel like an even greater accomplishment in the end.

Saving a lot. Farming griffons, minos, and sand elementals with my earth ele build back in prophecies days. And some power trading/working the market.
Kamara
1) Monk gift from a friend - Prot bond 55ing
2) Ranger gift from another friend - sold stuff from winning halls and Solo UW runs
3) Necro 2/3 gift from friend (same as ranger), 1/3 farmed vermin for it.
4) Dervish, farmed vermin for it before I even knew what it looked like
5) Rit - Wintersday 2007 was good to me.
6) Monk (remade her) Canthan New year was good to me...
7) Necro (remade her) REALLY good to me...
8) Mesmer - uh, no idea? Z-Keys probably and just selling junk I had lying around.
I think that's them all. o_o; I wish I liked other sets, as I'd buy them. Alas, I don't D:

No farming. Just playing the game. EOTN quests can yield 1000 gold rewards easily, monsters drop loot, gold adds up slowly, and I had nothing better to do with the gold.
Oh, BTW - I didn't get a single sellable drop yet...

PermaSf bandwagon, one week of farming
shironos
For my sin's FoW armor i farmed about 100k doing constant sardelac runs on HM and over the course of 4 weeks i farmed 25k a day doing sardelac runs/selling zkeys...slow and agonizing process but was worth it in the end
Sarevok Thordin
I didn't, and I never will. Simply put, it's horrifying.
Thor Tyr
basically getting lucky with drops when tombs first came out i got to Victos bulwarks and saved my money then when DoA came out i farmed like a mad man and got a couple sets one for my monk and one for my paragon
Omnidragon42
Never bought FoW armor, there's only one set I like (female rit, minus the headpiece) and I don't play that character enough to worry about it.
{IceFire}
Solo UW 55 monk back in the day + crystalline drop from the strongbox(long gone) ectos @ 11-12k when I bought it I believe
Oh and you used to be able to make mad profits running. Not anymore.
