Don't complain that the 1.5k cheapskape armor is ugly, it always has been (Warrior 1.5k Platemail, Knights, Dragons AND Glads are very ugly) But the 15k versions are MUCH better (dragons is still uglee) I wanna see FoFactions Armor!!! X.<

Does anyone have ANY clue whatsoever (a list maybe), of what materials and cost for these will be?

15k has the same material requirement as their 1.5k cousin, aside it require more of each. Not only that, you need 80 amber or jade (head 10, upper torso 30, arm 10, lower torso 20, feet 10) that you get from faction reward.

Edit...

I wasn't on FPE. How does the stats of Factions armor compare to that of the prophesies campaign?

You get faction from quests mainly. The quest rewards in the FPE were VERy generous, usually 3000 exp + 1000 faction for the non-repeatable ones, and 2000 exp and 500 faction for the repeatable ones.

There was this one quest on the Kurzick side that only took 5-7 minutes and yielded 2000 exp + 500 faction to everyone in the party, and you can do it as many times as you want!

IMO, the armors in Factions are mostly better stat wise. Gladiators are probably still going to be top choice, but no elementalist would wear any prophecy armors after Factions comes out.

I wonder how the influence of the new Factions armor will change the demand or drive to get FoW armor. Owning a Warrior set myself, I don't care, but I do care if no one else ends up getting it. Thus, making the FoW armor even more unique.

The gloves, boots and helmet are Kurzick.

In other words, hauberk and leggings are "Beserker" in PvP, and other elements are "Sentinel" in PvP.

(referencing pic at top of page)

Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong about this... (like I have to ask!)

Both Kurzick and Luxon have different 15k armors. Basically what you have is two 15k variations per each base Canthan armor.

The fact that the Kurzicks have all the armors (dreadnought, berserker, sentinel, gladiator... etc.) with the "sentinel" skin and the Luxons have the same but with the "bersker" skin, simply means that Anet has made it easier for us to customize. So really, what Mordakai just said is true.

We can now mix all the bonuses we like, and still get the looks we like. I could mix dreadnought armor with berserker armor, and still have both look like "sentinel", if I bought it all in House zu Helzer.

It seems to me like people are seeing "sentinel" as a seperate armor. I think Sentinel as more a discription of the specific stat, the 100 AL. The actual ARMOR is Kurzick, but with Sentinel stats. Am I right in saying that the Luxons have sentinel armor too, but with the Luxon/berserker skin?

By the way, does anyone get what I just said? I understand it (because I wrote it) but I see how this could sound confusing.

Ok....heres my understanding:

Theres 3 nations. Each crafts armor.

All the armors per class look exactly the same, no matter the stats (Just like FoW)

For a warrior, he/she has 3 choices for the basic 1.5k armor:

Canthan warriors look like this:

Luxon warriors look like this: http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/5...serkerw2rh.jpg

Kurzick warriors look like this;
http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/4594/setinelw9gw.jpg

No matter if you pick the sentinel, berserker, or legionnaire variations, they all look the same as long as you pick the same set.

Now for 15k armors its also the same thing.


Is my understanding correct?

i hope that its the ame with the fow armor..same looks but different stats to choose from..


couse i REALY like sentinal armor..but i cant buy it couse im luxon...

but for example i like the luxon side more so i fight for luxon.. and then i wanna buy 15k sentinal... but i CANT cosue im a luxon..so im FORCED to walk around in beserker (wich i dont like the shoulders)... if this is a fact in the game.. i would be VERY mad.... trow my game out of the window :P lol

and also i think there are more armors skins..

like in chapter one.. dragon and platemail has same stats.
but only dragons is in the pvp creation screen.

so maybe that means the there are armors with the same stats only different looks also.. but they are still kept secret till the release of factions cant wait..

Ever since i saw the Zaishen henchmen, i wanted the Canthan skin.

I personally dont want my warrior in the thong/fishnets female kurzick warrior armor and the luxon's spiky coral/crab/sea shell armor just doesnt do it for me.

At the moment though, I can see myself collecting "Beserker" armor in all three Faction skins... sigh. I'm gonna be a poor, poor, man!

Very nice :-D

You don't happen to know what crafting materials are needed?
From what I hear, you need to have the materials before hand, and there is no storage... and, be nice to know what I need before hand.

Is it like FoW where all the class armors are the same? Like only 2 people posted the names of their armor, they just said "Ele" or "Warrior"

So how does the armor work? I have a ritualist who i just got over to the marketplace and so far i was only able to get 3 different syles of armor - Each trader had One style of armor, but different stats for it.

Anyway, how does it work with picking sides? like if you pick luxon can you only get certain syle armors?

My guild (Refuge from Exile [RFE]) worked together to collect enough funds for the Necromancer Female 15k Armor (Kurzick) and we had enough Amber and supplies left-over we were also able to get 3 of the 4 pieces of the Elementalist Female 15k Armor (Kurzick) we ran out of time to get the 4th piece. It was a total Refuge From Exile group effort, and major props go out to all of them.

Anywho, here are the pictures:

15k Female Kurzick Necromancer Minion Master (undyed)







15k Female Kurzick Elementalist Pyromancer (dyed orange to reveal details originally was purply-blue)









I also wanted to add a note that all the 15k armors for this FPE looked the same, it's unknown how they will change for the actual release.

And again, thanks to all my Refuge From Exile (RFE) guildies for the teamwork to get these 7 pieces of armor purchased. It was an amazing group effort! That MM Armor is one of the first and aside from Collectors parts of fow ONLY necro armor I like. It looks incredible.
