I tried looking through the threads and doing a searing using the tools and could not find anything there. If there is please direct me to the proper thread and close this one, thanks.

OK I am looking to get the mats to craft a set of Destroyer Weapons for my HoM. I know where to get the rest of mats but not sure where or how to get the Onyx or Diamonds as I have never had either one drop for me.


Can I craft a Diamond or trade for it..like fur and
Is there a spot or a build that is best for killing whatever drops these things?

thanks

They are at the rare material trader for like 500g. They only drop from Hidden Treasures and Eotn end dungeon chests.

i have 3.5 stacks of onyx and 5.25 stacks of diamonds, almost entirely from VSF except for a stack of onyx and a stack of diamonds as i am a total moron and bought them before EoTN came out because i followed the rumors that said diamonds were going to be highly coveted turned out i lost LOTS OF MONEIZ. anyway, do vsf and you'll have full racks of destroyer weapons in HoM for every character, in no time.

You don't need to fill the HoM on all of your characters. There will be an update in April that is supposed to allow your HoM to be account-wide. If your goal is to transfer achievements from GW 1 to GW 2, then you only need one set of Destroyer weapons to do that. I'd wait for the April update before you go nuts at the rare material trader.

My comment was directed at the OP. Apologies if you thought I was replying to you.

11(weapons per HoM)*20(Onyx+diamonds per weapon)=220(Onyx/Diamonds per HoM)*8(Chars)=1760(onyx/Diamond per Char's HoM)*.5k(cost of Onyx)*.5k(cost of Diamond)=1760k

5 mil? Peeps need to get better at math.

Not that I'll complain once those prices go up, but may I ask why you wish to fill the HoM on every character when the HoM will go account based in about 1 month?

I understand filling one char with D-weapons, and another with Tormented *which is what I am doing, done with Destroyer*, but filling 8 with destroyer is now pointless and a waste of money.

I think MisterB was talking to the OP.
