What weapon to buy?

Hey all, I stopped playing Guildwars at the end of last summer, but recently, I became interested in Guildwars again. I found my cd, installed it and logged onto my account. Nothing has changed since my last logon. I have about 300 plat in my account and I am wondering what weapon to buy for my axe warrior who mainly participates in pvp.

I heard from a friend that Green items were introduced sometime after I quit the game. What are they? Are they better than pvp items? How so? I am looking for a good axe to buy. Which unique axe do you think is good for pvp? I don't really care about pvm.

Secondly, what is surrow furnance? How do I go there?

Those are all of my questions as of right now.

Thanks in advance

pvp items re usable only if you unlk them,

now greens, are pre-build, with perfect modes, and there is 1 for each build, and they are cheap (average green axe can go for 30-40k, but im not that sure cuz i dont play warior)

chec all the greens at www.guildwiki.org

they have the full list for each profession

For PvP unlock the perfect axe mods (furious, zealous, fortitude), and just roll a pvp character. All Pvp equipment is auto-max then. No problem.

Greens have max stats (15^50, max mods) on every drop, but 90% of them are unwanted mod combos. Though greens are MUCH less expensive than their gold counterparts.

As far as Axes go theres a Sundering of Foritude one called Victos Axe (like 30k right now), and a Furious of Axe mastery called the razorstone. about the same price I think.

Niether of them are "perfect" mod combo wise, but their decent deals considering that making a 15^50 axe with req 9 or less would cost alot more.


But like I said, In PvP just use the PvP weapons that already COME 15^50, and you can just set it up the way you like (usually furious or zealous of foritude)

I heard there's something called HoD Axe that gives 50 life? Can anyone clarify?

quik fix: victos axe goes for 20-25k

Ohhh 1 more question about Faction

Will faction be integrated into Guildwars or do I have to buy it?

bummer: you gotta buy it! and its more expensive

the HoD axe had +25 health in it, and the ability to add a grip, so if you added a fortitude grip, you ended up with +55HP. It got removed from the game though, expect to pay a couple of millions for one if you want one :P

as for what weapon to buy : specially as a warrior it's realy better to have a well equipped pve toon than a pvp toon, for the obvious reason that you can helmet swap, and use more than 2 weapon sets. The best way to get the equip you want is to visit the droknar's forge weapon crafter, he sells 15>50 versions of sword, axe and hammer, req9 and ready to be modded. for 5k + some materials that's a realy good deal, specially since you'll be spending a shitload on money on weapon mods anyway.

as for shields : victo's bulwark goes for around 80k, but is well worth it. Together with a set of collector shields you're all set ...

Not more expensive, same price as Chapter 1 was when it was released.

Personaly i like the razorstone.. its about 20k now
