That's totally up to you!
But if it helps, ask yourself this.. "Will I regret buying the FoW armor when I see the new cool(er) looking armor they will have in Factions?"
Factions is still about 2 months away.. and you have 52 ectos to go and 5 more shards.. so you still got some time to think about it..

Oh and Phantasim Armor??

heh I'm in the same boat, I have one finished char and 5 waiting. I'm gonna stick to droks armour; that way I wont hate myself if I buy fow (want necro and monk fow, others want 15k) and then a 15k cantha armour comes out that looks far better. Droks gives all the protection I need and I can wait til pictures are posted. And who knows, you might even get armour with slightly different modifiers in factions that you'd prefer.

Like others have said - its up to you! If you really really like the armor, go for it, I mean if you think its the coolest armor ever - Then sure, If you just like it and wanna wait and see what chapter 2 has in store, then wait

Whatever you decide, enjoy it!

buy the FoW armor.

This is the BEST advice I have ever given. You won't regret it, I know exactly what you need to do.

LoL good one!

If you're planning on buying a Fow Armor for the following characters:
Warrior
Ranger
Elementalist
-you might want to wait for chapter 2.

If you want a FoW Armor for a:
Necro
Mesmer
Monk
-follow Makkert's advice.

- The rich man's advice: buy a FoW armor, show off until Faction is out, then farm some more and buy all the new nifty armors you like. Don't forget to show off with each and every new armor.
- The poor man's advice: don't buy anything, give me your stuff, and I'll give you good karma in return.

Then again these armors may only be available for characters created in Cantha?

Nice pictures, thank you for the link Man, I sure hope not; I would love to get my hands on those for my 'core' characters.

doubt it, unless they're in 'low' level areas. There's bound to be some new looks for existing chars... and if not i'll send my strider after them

All the chapter 2 armor looks ugly to me, I'd go with chapter 1.

Wait and see what Factions offers, then make your decision.

I've been debating over buying 15k Glads for my female warrior, or waiting for factions. Due to that screenshot, I am deffinatly waiting.

According to a magazine article in Computer Gamer (I think thats where it was, I'm at work right now and can't check), each class has 7 new armors in Cantha and I would expect something akin to FoW armor in Cantha so that people can have a similar gold / time sink without owning CH1.

If you look at the factions armor and think you might like them then don't. If it were me I would save the items in case. That way you can choose AFTER it is released instead of before.

I'm wondering, are you all sure that Factions armor will cost shards and ectos?
Maybe they will add more hard to farm rare materials for those new armors?
Or am I not updated enough?

I've been wondering what the new currency for high-end Factions armor would be too. I'm also in a bit of a bind......my gold is pretty much maxed out, my inventory is full of mostly greens, and I can't really do much more other than buy ectos with what I sell from farming, though I'm not really into blowing it on armor that functionally has no advantage.

I'll try to bide my time until Factions comes out and see.....not only armors but I hear there might be jewelry and new faces to sink gold into.

Hair salon would kick ass, I had to murder my lvl 20 elementalist, trash all her clothes, and sell all her belongings just because I didn't like her stupid hair....... wow that was evil, lol.

I'm holding out for Chapter 2 to see what they look like. I only just recently acquired enough for my first 15K set and don't want to blow it all on a Grotto set without at least considering Factions armor sets.
