what does the term obsidian armor mean? I read it on the guild wars website, is that some fancy name for the 60k armor or something?

Could be the name of a specific type of 15k armor? Or maybe the elementalist skill obsidian flesh: for 8-18 seconds you cannot be the target of enemy spells and gain +20AL but are slowed down by 50%

dunno... but on the guild wars website this is what it said...

We expect polishing and balancing the new system to take another week and look forward to sharing the changes with you then. Response so far from our testers has been overwhelmingly positive, and we believe this addition will improve the overall experience for everyone who plays the game.

One final note: Some of you will wonder if we've forgotten that ascended characters with obsidian armor need challenges too... Don't worry. You're next.

Armor found in the Fissure that requires Obsidian Shards. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it also on the Underworld armor?

I would assume it means the 15k Fissure armour that requires, among other things, obsidian shards.

is the armor from the fissure with these obsidian charms worth getting if you already have the 15k armor from the southern shiverpeaks? and if it is, do you know how much cloth and scales it is for the ele's pyromancer amror down there?

does it require cloth and scales? I think it requires globs of ectoplasm, obsidian shards, and some other crazy crap. :P

Unless something has changed recently (today), there is no Underworld Armour.

Children - It's gonna take you about 100 more shards easily...don't remember how much ecto is required....but the amounts of each are insane.

well I have plenty of gold to spare... how much different is this armor than the ascended armor? plus, I heard something about a town where the crafter is down there, that you can travel to with your map, is this true?

I think the cost of a set is around 700 plat.

That's right folks, 700K armor!

It requires 105 Ectoplasm Globs and 105 Obsidian Shards for the Elemtalist armors. (At an average cost of 3.%K per shard or glod) + all the materials that he regular 15K armor requires + 60K in gold if you don't need a head piece. The FoW armor looks way different and better than the 15K amor from citadel (at least for elemantilist). All of one classes armor has the same graphic (Pyro and Aero armor look the same).

Hope this helped

No armor has better stats than the simple 1.5K stuff from D.Forge. (But the fissure armor does let you mix sets and still have a unified look )

The fissure armor is ridiculous. With the price of ecto so high, I can't see it being worth that much. Knight's Armor looks just fine to me anyway. I mean, who really wants to farm for three million hours just to get armor that looks "cooler"?

Just wondering.

i dont think the obsidian armor look that tight i mean i tihnk they could have made it alot better.

Warrior armor- they girl version look way better thatn guys
elemnt-pretty nice but still kind of lame spikes on shoulders wohoo
necro-this is the one worth it the spikes coming out of body is so tight
mesmer- look ok not really outstanding
monk- this one is weird dont look much diffrent they should have made it evil looking
ranger-the gayest of all armors i ahve ranger with 2 15k sets and i tought i get this armor but then i saw it and tought to myself waste of money.

well anyways that is my opinion and people will still get it but i bet you that. once the expansion comes out that armor will be worthless and they will ad new armor just like any other online game. so save up your money.
