Rare Materials in Factions
Energizer Deth Buni
I did not get a good look at the Factions preview weekend. Anyone know if all Materials (Delidimor, Vellum etc) will still be used for Factions armor? Thank you
Sekkira
Yeah, you need 50 of each rare material to make a SUPERDUPER INGOT and you need 250 of those to craft a set of armour

lol sekkira dont take the piss : P
ermmm the warrior armour reqs iron and steel as usual

From what I saw, it looked like most armor takes the same sort of stuff it always has. Though I noticed ritualist armor required a lot of ink.

Assassin Armor uses lots of scales and other materials I won't mention because I'm stockpiling them and I don't want the price at the NPC to skyrocket ^_^

I didn't get a chance to look at traders and crafters........mostly just doing quests, though I had to work half the FPE.
Did anyone see any NEW rare crafting materials?

Well I predict the armors will use materials that are currently seldom used. Bolts of Linen, Vials of Ink, Spiritwood planks, and Bones, for example.
New material would be Jadeite shards.

What about Rubies and Saphires? They are in the game but no one really knows what they are for. Do you think they will have more of a use in Factions?

I want to know whats with this Amber that seems to be everywhere, is it like the new steel or something? oh, and all the pointless materials from GW1 are being used up in GW2 such as Mud Bricks, dont know how or where, but things like that will be used im guessing
I pwnd U
Mud Bricks???? I dont see Mud Bricks on the material or rare material trader list. But like Spirtwood and Tempered Glass Vial are two of the many unused items, and yes it will be interesting to see what they are used for. Maybe for new 15k armor or a new kind of armor much like Fissure armor.

Don't get your shorts all bunched up yet. Who's to say that the crafting materials won't be changed before the release of Factions? After all, it was only a beta.

im guessing that the basic materials will still be used in factions, but new rare materials will show up for the higher end armors

How about monstrous fangs and the like? Anyone found a use for them in Factions?

From what I saw, the Kurzick special armour used the materials that are pretty common now on expensive armour.
Angel Develin
Don't you guys think that they will change the material for the real deal? The only thing that's for sure is the use of ne material what you could get from faction points.
If i do remember right the GW faction first part had armor's 2 that used another kind of material.

I doubt they'd change ALL the materials used in the new armors. I think what you saw in the FPE is pretty much what you get concering materials.
Course, wishful thinking, since I'm stockpiling.

amber and jade are 2 NEW crafing materials. You could (during the fpe) get amber or jade in trade for your kurzic or luxon faction and the trader did mention it was used in certain armor types.
I also believe that you will have 2 different types of the same class armor depending on if you're with the kurzic or luxon clan (have faction points for and/or guild alignment with).
Furthermore, and i really dont care about trader prices at this point, but a use for tempered glass vials and spirit wood also in armor crafting. I meant to take screenies of the armors, but never got around to it...

Thank the almighty Grenth I will never be a Monk in Factions!

Speaking of Jadeite and Amber Chunk (sp?).. How much do you guys think people will sell them for? It's easy to get 1 (only 1000 K/L Faction), so my guess is something around 300 or 400gold each
Dark Suoon
they better be cheap cuz every proffession needs those jadeites and ambers to get their armor (i will be getting alot of 15k armor and if jadeite has to cost a little less than im thinking, but if it cost more id go crazy
Vahn Roi
Did anyone get a chance to see what kind of materials (common or rare) are used for crafting standard assassin armor?
emopunky
sigh what a waste of prophecies 15k armor :/ now theres new stuff
Vahn Roi
Which is why I didn't spring for Fissure Ascetic's for my monk when I had the chance about a month ago.
Desbreko
Isn't it only the 15k and whatever FoW equivalent armor that needs amber/jadeite? The 1.5k Kurzick stuff I saw in the preview didn't require any amber. And I kind of doubt they'd make it so every new set of armor you get requires you to spend more faction on materials.
But I doubt amber and jadeite will be all that expensive anyway. Two alliance battles or two of the repeatable quests will get you one, which is a lot easier than farming for ectos and shards now.
Even after seeing the new stuff so far, though, I still <3 my monk's FoW. I'll still go with the extra energy over the other armor bonuses available, and it would take a pretty awesome new armor skin to make me prefer its look over FoW. But I guess we'll see.

i kill charr
does any one know what side scouts ranger armor is on

From what I understand so far, amber/jadeite are for 15k armors? I'm guessing rubies and sapphires will be what ectos and shards are for Fissure armor?
Dav85
amber / jadeide are for the 15k armors. i'm pretty sure those are not the most expensive armors in the game.
there will be fow-like place with new rare materials noone ever seen before (they dont want anyone go there with the stack of ectos or rubies they bought and get the new elite armor after a weekend) and new vanity skin armors.
rubies/sapph will be used but not to craft armors. jewels is the answer.
no idea if jewels will be just vanity stuff or will have some use, doesn't change anything for me i'll grab them anyway

I already have my vials of ink stockpiled and I make more every day.

Stockpiling = Sad. Really, really sad.

the amber and jadeite were used for 15k armor in the FPE. I only played a war in the event, so I don't know about all armors, but the standard luxon armor cost Scales and Chitin Fragments... so, A-net is incorporating some of the less used materials.
didn't see any usage of rubie's, saphires, or monstrous items.. I know they've mentioned somewhere, that there would be shells, from turtles or some such, thats why they changed the name to Chitin Fragments... and I've heard mention of small bones as a new material as well.

Yep there was interview saying that one new rare material will be "young turtle shells".
So far 3 new rare materials, I wonder if Both Factions have their own FoW-type armours with different ecto & shard type materials.

Amber seems like the new stuff.

There are many materials right now at the break even point. When factions is released and prices go up from new players entering the game and vets wanting new content that will give you room to make huge profits.
Take for example an item that is 70g to create. You can sell it to the merchant for 50g. That is only 20g away from breaking even. Anything beyond that is pure profit.
1000 is your magic number here. Lets say you can sell that item to the merchant for 90g. That's a 20g profit from each item. Clear your stock of 1000 and you've made 20k profit. All for doing nothing but stocking now and waiting. Eventually the dust will settle and prices will balance out like they did for c1 items.
If you don't stockpile ahead of time you will miss that window of profit.
With the projections from the items I've stock piled with the suttle price increases I'm expecting to to make about 500k within the first few days of Factions. This is a suttle increase. As we know when something is new the price is sky high and then the market cools. I'll probly make more than what I'm projecting. You are only going to have 1 chance to get in on the profits after that you will be breaking even again like now.

Yeah. I need to go make some parchment.
