Which is more worth it for 15 zaishen gold coins:

A Heavy Equipment Pack or Rainbow Phoenix from Zaishen Menagerie

I was thinking of a Heavy Equipment Pack for the following reasons: 1) It can hold 20 slots of weapons and armor. 2) My mesmer have four sets of elite armor and needs more inventory space (the mesmer also have a lot of candy cane weapons as well, the four sets of elite armor is related to Hall of Momuments FYI). But I think others may disagree and want me to get the Rainbow Phoenix. However, should I want a Rainbow Phoenix without trying to go through the hassle of playing PvP battles to max Zaishen faction cap, I need to get 10 maxed titles. Apparently, I have a ranger who is working for the max drunkard, party animal, and skill hunter as well as trying to get max Luxon title accountwide. However, I'm not sure what other titles I should go for to get 10 titles.

Apparently, my goal is to get a zaishen gold coin per day. Although I have 10 character slots in use (one which is a PvP warrior), many of them haven't completed the entire storyline for each campaign (and expansion). Also, I find PvP related zaishen challenge quests to be time consuming and very difficult (took me around 2-3 hours to finish both bonuses of the AB zaishen combat quest).

Anyways, what do you think it's more worth it for 15 Z-coins: heavy equipment pack or a rainbow phoenix.

And on the side note, I do not like the idea of having to farm ectos to get the heavy equipment pack (not to mention it's cheaper if you do the z-quests themselves to get one). In addition to that, permashadow sin have greatly changed so much that I have very hard time maintaining my energy with my sin (I think there was an update that made the build more difficult to maintain due change of recharge and duration).

P.S. been out for several months due to college.

Rainbow Phoenix is permanently unlocked, while a bag is just a bag.
Get the 15, if not, 10 slot bag instead.

I think it's kinda sad when you spent 15 Zgold on a Rainbow Phoenix, only to reach People Know Me a few months later, practically wasting those Zgolds.

I know it wasn't an issue for me because I already got 10+ titles when HoM went live. But do you want a pet that looks different but acts exactly the same as a Warthog, Crane or whatever, or would you rather have a +20 increase of personal storage?

Either way, I can't decide for you.

If you aim for 10 max titles, drunkard, sweet tooth and allegiances are probably worst choices.

Protectors/Cartographers/Skill cappers will give it to you 10 titles for fraction of cost and time.

Phoenix is just a ordinary pet replaceable by any other. bag actually provides some benefit.

I wouldn't spend 15 gold zaishen coins on a pet even if it was William Wallace pet that shoots lightning out of its eyes and craps thunder.

If you want a rainbow phoenix, just get r2 KoaBD (r2 isn't that hard to get)

Meh i wouldn't even get the 20 slot bag if i already had 15 zcoins, personally i would rather get 3 of the 15 slot bags for 5 zcoins each and have lots of storage on 3 different characters.

80,000 faction is a lot easier to obtain.

The Rainbow Phoenix may look amazing, but there aren't many builds who utilizes a pet anyway. Furthermore, according to what you've said, you seem to need the extra bag more. You can also get this pet in another method, donating boat loads of balth's faction points. I would definitely choose the bag.

Don't go for the rainbow bird. R2 koabd takes like 2 weeks at most.

not if you consider the amount of pvp titles you'd have to get to get to this cap.

Whats he said just dont go through cartographer titles if your only goal is to get People Know Me for the Rainbow Phoenix.
Go for protector + guardian (3+3+1) and skill hunter (4 titles total) - those are, in my opinion, are the easiest.
If u have trouble guardianing u could also go for EotN rep titles.

I'd say dont waste all those coins on a pet that won't help you at all...
if u desperately want it just max guardian/skill hunter/some reputation ranks and you got him
rainbow phoenix isn't so cool anyway black moa is better

It's Ross! I Love Ross! Well, I just love Fire Emblem.

Back on topic.

I'd get the 5 Gold Coin ZBag, and just wait a few months for the price of the Heavy Bag to drop.

I'd spend 50 gold zaishen coins on a pet like that.

If I had 50 gold zaishen coins, which I don't, because I got bored of zaishen quests around a week after they came out.
