According to new Prima guide...
Quash
you can salvage ectos from various eye, remains, and some new factions items. you canalso slavage rubies and saphires from things too...And if you think I'm making it up look at the guide Appendix B pgs 215-223

i think the bottom of the ecto, gem market is on thin ice now
TheSonofDarwin
Keep in mind that Prima totally screwed up the rare materials in their salvage guide for Prophecies. If I recall correctly, they said ecto could be salvaged from four different items (including various eyes) in the GWP Guide. Definately not saying they are wrong again, and I would love if that were true, but I'm not holding my breath.
TheGuildWarsPenguin
The last guide was written by Prima. This one isn't.
Quash
Well, I do know that the first guide had tons of errors in it, I didn't have the guide so I can't confirm that.
I do know that the new guide was "written and developed by the development team at arenanet" (from back cover).

I got mine at best buy...I better keep thing short and not say too much people like to pick apart everything
Ravious
Is there anything on what rubies and saphs do?
Exoudeous
Well im guessing that these salvage items are really rare, or that the chance of getting one of those items is really rare, casue if not. anet just pissed of every one that worked for their fissure armor.

look at it this way.what per cent have fissure armor?
and how many who do not would be very happy if it were easier to get?
piss off a few make a lot very happy.
EternalTempest
Early on, rich farmers could get FOW like it was a tee shirt. Anet corrected the problem and made it hard to get (as it was intended).
To someone who slaved hard over it, I do feel bad but I like Fow being easier to get.
It could also be that these drops are in the "eilte" zones and hard to get to.

Quash
according to the guide it's ancient eyes, ghostly remains, jade gorget, jade pauldron, shadowy remnants, and I probably missed one or two more
Lady Erighan
I've confirmed what Quash has said.
According to the new Prima guide that ANET helped develope, they have listed that Ecto, Rubies, Sapphires, Montrous Fangs/Claws/Eyes, etc., will now be salvageable from various item drops.

wow, first they made green items with max stats that drop like rain, now they make it posible for any joe shmoe to get fissure armor.
good job anet, keep messing things up

I haven't seen anything in the guide that shows what crafting materials are used for what. Just that there are 10+ items that salvage into highend rare materials.
Zaxan Razor
To be fair, it has always been possible (but very highly impossible) to get ecto's from these items.
Certainly the Fog Nightmare drops (shadowy remnents?).
This is nothing new.

Solberg the Exiled
Wow, if this is indeed true, and we'll probably know it very soon after the game comes out, then the price of ectos and rubies and saphires and stuff will take a huge plunge. Hmm... now I must debate whether to believe this and liquidize all of my ectos and shards.
EF2NYD
It's obviously a reused list. Why would Mursaat and old Ascalon drops be found in Cantha?
Sidra
Does it show you the ammount of materials needed for crafting each type of armor for each class?

Thanks Anet!
Exoudeous
yea, why work for something special when you can be a lazy ass.
seriously, the point of the armor was for people that had a lot of money and wanted to look diffrent. if it was for everbody, it wouldnt have been placed in a high level area and require such a large amoutn of rare material, if you think other wise, then you are special.
now fissure armor is pontless because everyone will try and get it once its cheap, now you will look like the other 600,000 people that are about to get it.
I was thinking of getting it, but not now, because every noob is gunna get it now, just like with spiders.
no offense to the people that play the game casually, but when they do this stuff, it just ruins the game for everyone else. and id say that the majority of players are not casual, this is an online rpg, casual gamers hardly leach on to things like this because its not mainstrem.
why dont they make every drop a gold item with perfect stats and every mob drop 100K, and give out a crystaline sword for every mission you beat.

Plus, this isn't even confirmed yet. It's probably the same mis-information from the first.
So, what's the deal with this Guide, anyway? Is it worth $20?
Lady Lozza
Yes, I would be interested in knowing whether current players think the factions prima is worth the money.
Exoudeous
I dont even own the guide, and I can tell you its not worth it.
in less then a month the information will be wrong because of updates.
you can get better, more acurate, up to date info free on the internet.
haveing the maps isnt even a good reason because you can just look at online maps right on your screen.

There are at minimum 4 new "armor" styles per 8 professions, or 32 total. Most players who get factions are going to want something new.
As for spiders, I see a serious drop in demand for spider pets, especially now that there are at least two kinds of Tigers and potentially an assortment of other kinds of pets (I heard rumors of dragon pets).
We know nothing about the cost of this stuff at this point, but we will in 2 days.
Viva la Variety!

If I we had to do that Id go play somthing else. If you have 1 mil gold ... get a life or a job, or better yet stay away from Ebay.

[QUOTE=GloryFox]Hey I work for a living so Lazy is insulting
Special people worked real hard for that Ebay Gold to afford that FOW Armor
Still not pointless its a fashion statement. Besides Im willing to bet most FOW armor wearers got it from Ebay. That being true in any sense makes the FOW pointless.
At least spiders you earn.
I am everyone else in a sense. I like most people work for a living so getting FOW armor in 12 months is an accomplishment. Even with more Ecto Drops. Heck it took me 3 months to get 15k armor. (Casual Gamer Here)
Now isn't that just a bit overbord? Instead how about a Item merchant to get the cost of mods under control? Why should the casual gamer be forced to pay 100k+10 ectos for a +30 health mod anyways? We (most players) earn a small amount of gold each night. 1000g maybe. By your estimation I (WE CASUAL GAMERS) should have to play 200 nights in a row for +30 health?
If I we had to do that Id go play somthing else. If you have 1 mil gold ... get a life or a job, or better yet stay away from Ebay.[/QUOTE
Could'nt agree more.Everyone pays the same price for the game so they should be able to get the same items.Doesnt matter to me if everyone has FOW armor or not.I can afford it but I like Droks.My choice.
It just seems silly to try to limit others to make yourself seem (In your mind) superior.If you farm alot that is your choice..I do myself just because I like it.
It's a D2 thing..)

I’m not saying people don’t have the right to have something, its just you guys are complaining about not being able to get it. Its a game, its about challenge and making things hard to get, otherwise there is no reason to buy the damn game.
This is the problem with gamers today; they can’t handle games even though they are easier now then they were back in the day. If you can’t do something, practice till you can, work at it.
And guess what? I worked for my money and bought this game to, i deserve the right to also enjoy the game. I can get enough for fissure armor, but now its pointless to get if people like you who barely did anything for it also get it. You want fissure armor, then start farming for gold, if you don’t want to take the time to earn it, then there is no reason why you should get it.
I have no problem with casual gamers for the most part, but it does bug me when they complain and ruin the game for real gamers. If you don’t like the game how it was, don’t play it. If you couldn’t get an item, then you don’t deserve too.
And saying most of the people with fissure armor eBay it just shows your ignorance. I maybe play guild wars 3 nights a week, and guess what; it took less then 2 months to get enough to get fissure armor.
Are you gunna complain next that fame is too hard to get, so then every one has rank 12? If you can’t earn an item yourself, then you don’t deserve to have it. Don’t like it? Quit video games, or stop complaining about it.

Also, playing an MMORPG certainly is work. It's a different kind of game than say, Counter-Strike or Mario Brothers, where you have fun for a bit and log off only to repeat the same thing the next day. Your work, items, and settings are all saved for the next time you logon.
