Everyone is chasing these skins in perfect stats, why? to make themeselves different than the average player, thats why we are willing to buy FOW armor and crystaline swords, etc. So Now that everyone can get a perfect sickle (and I am assuming at some point) fellblade skins, crystaline skins, serpent axe, dwarven axe, etc., will get a green variation, so you will not be able to look different from everyone else, UNTIL...... chapter 2 comes out. Then people will pay god aweful prices for the rare skin weapons and look cool wielding them for a while, till Chp 3 is about to release, which by then they will have greens of all the chp 2 rare skins, and the cycle repeats. Thats my theory anyways, so the market will swing at the begining and end of each chapter. So I dont think this hurts the market in the long run, just a cycle that we will probably see.

Just got one...
Milius' Eye (req 9 Energy Storage) (honest)
Energy +12
Reduces Daze duration on you by 20%
health +45 (while enchanted)

These Weapons drops from 3 mes bosses called Darkness. What's cool is that when you finish, loads of lost souls pop up out of the ground and applaude. I guess the dev's have read that thread on FoW and UW completion

Indeed.

I am sure there will be new replacement uber rare items from the expansion.
Quite probably.

Quote:
There will still be a market for these items because the greens are not modable, which is what a lot of people are complaining about now and saying that green items are dead (see green item price guide last few pages). So someone who doesn't necessarily want a sundering sickle of fortitude will still pay for a good max dmg sickle that can be modded, but the price will become such that more people can afford them.
Yup.

i mean this will screw up the market so bad imo that trading what alot of poeple do wont be fun / affective anymore

everything will drop in price so much ect ect.

since they added them in the end chest in HoH, many ppl
would be desperate to get one and do more pvp to get there...

I joined in a group of stranger n enter the tomb portal to investigate the chaos problem (the whole jopurney take abt 4 hours)

our grp consist of
3 monk ( i am protector , 2 healer)
2 warriors
1 ranger
1 mesmer
1 elemtalist ( water magic user)

one warrior drop out, n lastly 1monk drop out due to bad connection. so at the end we left with 6 folks , we fought hard and we killed the darkness n won HOH.

well we spent like 4 hours inside , and we won ^_^. i got myself Elsynth recurve bow
From the msg text : i read there are these following new green items :

1) millius eye (elemtalist green )
2) wenslaught faith ( monk green ?)
3) Victor bulwark (warrior green ? )
4) kole gauntlet (necro)
5) elsywth recurve bow
6) illyana staff

I agree. Every major update has screwed up the trading economy.

Pardon me, but I don't see how dropping prices is a bad thing, esp. considering ANet's philosophy of powerful items being accessible to all.

That's a subject for another thread though- let's keep this to just posting pics of the awesome new greens

BTW.. Who cares if it screws up the economy? You want there to never be new game updates again just so you can play with money? That's a little disturbed.

To me, Victo's battle axe and Victo's Bulwark looks the best among these new greens... Wonder what happens to Sorrow's greens now. Would we start labeling them as Sorry greens once a full list of new greens are out???

I can see the shield as being a good farming tool. The axe though is nice and such but wish it was furious instead of sundering. Still a nice axe.

The monk staff in my opinion is garbage since with gordacs rod and the +27 energy offhand have a better combo. Well actually that depends if you rather +12 energy of fthe bat with 3 energy regen or just having 4 energy regen.

The rest I dont find that great either.

Except for the sad fact that sundering is complete trash, and only adds a stupidly tiny amount to your damage. I'll take the vampiric sword with the absolutely awesome skin thanks.

The shield however is completely leet, and I think we are going to be seeing a lot of people using them. Req strength, +30 health and -2 damage all the time.... you can't really get much better. Quick recovery from blind in Tanzits is nice, but normally a monk will remove it before that comes into play anyway.

You don't want to run a -1 regen focus as your primary set, in long battles the lack of regen is going to run you into the ground. And +15 extra energy does nothing for you really. It allows you a tiny bit more freedom with how much you spam spells, but in the long run its going to hurt you. Slightly off-topic, just wanted to point that out.

I just did it with a 6 man team. We had 2 mesmers 2 monk 1 Ele and 1 Warr. I was the warr/necro. We started with another Warr and ranger but both droped before the 2nd map was completed.
Got not greenies myself though :-/ but was fun against the level 30 bosses and wurms.

It's most likely going to stay. These new greens are going to really take a bite into the rare items that was once almost impossible to get. Max dmg sickle? What was that? Did it ever exist? I guess the answer we got today. A white max and green max. I'll see if I can get lucky and find myself some to sell before it completely falls apart in price.

i am so lost in this converstation .... well as far as where things are. Let me get this strait... Tomb of the primeval kings is moved to battle isle for regular team battle. Now the "old" tomb is another entrance into UW??? is it the same UW area but a different starting point? Also i though that HoH is some sort of PvP area where bunch of teams compete to win and keep favor. Now HoH is a PvE area....is that correct? people also talked about wining against 3 lv 30 mesmers to get the green...... Where are these bosses? in UW or in HoH or wtf???? Please clear this up for me thanks.

P.S packing up from work early and run home. Gonna be 1.5 hr to get home.......out of all the days it have to snow today

No, absolutely not, what do you think?! Everything is going to dissapear in two days, just like the IDS disappeared after Christmas! Oh wait...

No, seriously: All I think that's going to disappear are any Assassins and Ritualists that are going to be created tomorrow (well, if you have any of the new items on them when that happens...). Altough, when I read the skill description for that new monster skill, I wasn't so sure whether they're acrually serious with this.
