Well, I've yet to see this posted, and thought, hey, why not?
These are two VERY large pictures, so 56k will take a while. Also, please note 2 important things. The graphic for all armors is the same (IE:Gladiator and Dragon have the same leggings graphic.) I am %99 sure that is only in the display window, and once crafted the armor would look like it should. Second part however, is though we had enough ectoplasm, no one had even seen the other required resource. I'm not going to post the name just to keep everyone guessing. Unfortunately due to that, we couldn't take pictures of the armor being worn.
Once we knew what we were doing, we could get to the crafter in under an hour.

The armor crafter in Fissure of Woe
Also, to help people get started, here's a quick 'lil map. It's from memory, and not perfect scale, but should be a decent guide, at least.
I can draw more maps of more areas if requested but Fissure if B-I-G. So if anyone else wants to contribute, please do so. =]
A special thanks to all members of Rubicon Breach (RB), as well as a special thanks to Sim Man and Eona Fury, who have spent countless hours with us on Ventrilo as well as knee deep in bodies. ;p

For the record, I think the other required resource is a Monstrous Claw... my boyfriend has 2, and that's the most I've ever seen.

The other resource is an obsidian shard. There's a more accurate, but incomplete fissure map here: http://jerrith.com/images/fissure.jpg. There's two more fissure crafter images, one for elementalists at www.altarstudio.com/gw018.jpg, and for monks at www.altarstudio.com/gw010.jpg.

I've got the pictures for all the values for the warriors armor if someone wants them. Just PM me a place to email/ftp them to. I'm too lazy to find a place to host them myself :-)

What's the process for getting the crafting screen?
Few of my real life friends play GW, so I end up having to find pick up groups for UW and Fissure, and only once in the past 3 weeks have I managed to find a group that actually survived making the trip to the Eternal Forgemaster. But once we got there, he just kept giving us quests to do. The party died attempting the 2nd quest.
Why is it so hard to find people who can make it to the Eternal Forgemaster? It was a relatively short run, and yes the battles were fierce, but not particularly hard. At this point, I'll willing to pay people who can get me to crafter and get him to show me the craft screen. It's very frustrating

Our team fought all the way up to that very spot and saw nothing up there. Must be a quest thing.

I tried to go up there once but at the top with all the rangers we died in about 1/2 second literally from about 9287318927319 arrows from barrage.

is there a different between the armor in Fissure, and Citadel?
Rahne Sinclaire
I don't think I'll ever get that armor... I'll just have to settle for my Granite Citadel Dragon set.
Potatopopper
If you wouldn't mind Zero hour, I'm wondering how you completed that last quest the forger gives you before he crafts armor. That quest is where you have to kill something seed. Well, I'm wondering how you can do all the quests in under an hour because my party tried this last quest and even though we couldn't finish it, it took at least 30 minutes and we weren't even close. I'm think ing we might have gone the wrong way. I was thinking we had to go to the beach or something. So if you wouldn't mind telling how you did that last quest so quickly, I would appreciate it greatly.

I had 9. Took up a valuable INV slot, but they fetched 100gp each from the merchant.
Mister Oblivious
@ potatopopper: Yes,you do have to go to the beach for the ''seeds of corruption'' (or whatever the name is) quest.At a certain place on the beach there is a cave,and the seeds are inside that cave,but be carefull,you're gonna have to fight loads of armored spiders.
while we're at it,you would like to know what really is the last material on the screenshots,monstrous claw or obsidian shard?
because i searched for obsidian shards without any results,i heard you could get them by salvaging some of the stuff you get in the underworld,but i did 3 runs in the UW today...and still nothing,any help would be greatly appreciated.

The material that is in the picture is obsidian shards. They are not monsterous claws. I have had many monsterous claws and fangs and the picture looks nothing like the picture in the forgemaster. I had to give up trying to buy obsidian shards. I started just asking people if any one has ever see and I have not found one person yet to even see one.
Potatopopper
Thanks for the reply Oblivious. I'm not sure what that other crafting material is, but I should be able to take my own screenshots and what not within the next week when I get some time to play through fissure. If anyone wants to party with me to complete the forgemaster quests in fissure, my name is The Machine in the game. It would be good to set a time that we could all log on at and play 
so we don't have to mess around with those usually aweful 5 minute made parties where people drop like flies (I really hate that).

Actually you do not have to go to the beach to do the Seeds of Corruption. You can go a roundabout way through the passage guarded by Smoke Walkers and Hydras and then past a bunch of other crap (Furnace Worms I think they were, among other things). You'll enter the tunnel with the Seeds on the opposite end from where you would if you went by the beach.
I suspect going by way of the beach might be considerably easier, but it isn't mandatory.

The reason we're so quick, is we know the route of every MOB, the collide points, best attack angles and pull spots. We've spent hours upon hours doing the same few quests over and over. [Reason later.] Over all, it came down to sheer practice, and intimate knowledge of each other's skills and abilities. It's also a good idea to have a plan B. or in our case, a plan C. "When all else fails, Sasia, Fay and Sin all run away in different directions, one of them will survive and res us when it's safe. The rest of us body block and otherwise insure there safe retreat."
Also, it sounds like your map was bugged, same as it has been for us half a dozen times. The large, Circular room that has the forge master high atop a platform raised in the middle has two doors. The back door should open and take you directly to the cave that contains the seeds and armored spiders. If the door fails to open, and I've only seen it open once, you can go the long way around, across the beach. Map shows the path to it. A small hint when in the cave; have a warrior, by themselves, run well, well ahead of the party and return back. The spiders wait for you to pass under them, THEN drop down, trapping you. A warrior has the highest survival chance, and frankly, is he most disposable party member. Better a lone, dead Paladin, then 8 mangled corpses in filthy water.

In case someone missed it.
THE LAST ITEM NEEDED IS OBSIDIAN SHARDS! It does not currently exist in-game, that means this armor can not be crafted. That is all I know until ANet releases an update.
Potatopopper
Oh right, Zero Hero, sorry lol. Thanks for clearing the seeds of corruption quest up for me, as well as how you went through fissure so quickly. I thought it was strange that the back door would not open. One thing about the obsidian shards that is strange is that I did recall joining a team in the tombs with a warrior who had some platemail looking armor that I had never seen before. And what I mean is that it definitely wasn't Platemail or 15k citadel armor because I have most of the citadel armor and know what it looks like. So if the obsidian shards do not really exist, then I wonder how that player obtained such cool looking platemail. I wish I had whispered him about it.
Perishiko ReLLiK
How did you get that quest to work? i clear the area out, and nobody is there, and i've tried the quest three times... what else do i have to do?
Shadowsting
Just one thing to consider -- I have gotten Ectoplasm from other places besides Underworld. In Riverside, there is a small area with a bunch of undead, past (I think) the 3rd watchtower. In that area, there are 4 chests, and they drop crafting materials and collector items (I've gotten Icy Lodestones, Ebon Spider Legs, Dark Flame Fangs, Mahgo Claws......). I got a Glob of Ectoplasm from a chest there once, so maybe you can get a shard in this manner? Just my two cents.
Phaedrus
For those monks who have been there: what materials are required for the aesetic armor? Vellum or parchment?

"When all else fails, Sasia, Fay and Sin all run away in different directions, one of them will survive and res us when it's safe. The rest of us body block and otherwise insure there safe retreat."
It never ceases to amaze me that this is a tactic that's not understood by 99.9999% of all GW PvE players.
I've been in parties several times now (several times at the end of Gates of Kryta, one time even in Elona's) where we get jumped by a huge mob, three peeps go down in rapid succession, and we're outnumbered at least five to one at that point. Instead of running, the two remaining fellow party members will just stay there and hack, while they're being slaughtered. WHY? Is there some kind of honor code that says, "You will fall with your comrades?"
I will walk away, retreating to safe distance, wait for the mobs to finish mauling my team, watch them walk away, then go back in and ress the whole team. I've saved my team from at least five failed missions by now with this tactic.
In Elona's, one peep even called me a coward for running away, as if standing there and getting slaughtered by lvl 20 enchanted blades and having to redo 30+ minutes of mission is somehow better.
He felt pretty foolish when I single handedly ressed the whole team, and we made the mission with 8 minutes to spare. (And it took me about five mins to ress the whole group in between running away from patrolling mobs )
Running away is a PERFECTLY VALID tactic. Please use it more often

Obsidian Shards drop pretty often now in the fissure of woe. I think one maybe every 10-15 shadow guys?
Phaedrus
I'd like to thank everyone for not realizing my reply was what bumped the thread, then answering a statement from few weeks ago with a bunch of "lolz i pwn j00 n00b" replies.
Anyway, the question (since it's long-forgotten): while screenshots are nice, can those who have been to the eternal armorer list which components they require by class? Ectoplasm and obsidian shards are a given, what I really want to know is whether I should be taking stacks of parchment or vellum with me.

I think it's a mix of both if you're getting the non-obsidian shard stuff. 25 parchment, and the rest vellum.

what realistic sell on price fo shards should I be looking at. Im poor at selling stuff and get ripped all the time. They must be up there with black dye prices

Ectoplasm is currently 3k from rare materials traders. You shouldn't accept much less than the current retail price, if only to piss off the people who want their new ferarri armor so they can pick up chicks.
Shards, while seemingly less-rare, are technically harder to get since materials traders only sell them if someone's sold one to them. Current market price is about 1k each but you should be able to extract 3k from those who are both impatient and lazy.

I dont have a pic, but my guildies have gotten OS there so they do drop. Perhaps the last patch fixed that?

Guys, you realize how old this post is? Yes, Obsidian shards drop, in Fissure of Woe.
We, my guild and I, have mostly moved on from FoW, to tackle a new challange: To Beat the Underworld!

Then we did, in fact, beat the underworld. So, back to Fissure we go. ;p
