After seeing alot of pictures and threads about this subject, im hoping to make one that answers everyones questions... "what is this material" etc. Being under works, please leave questions that you feel need to be incorperated in this thread. Thanks and hope you find what your looking for.
What is Fissure of Woe Armor?
Fissure of Woe armor is an Armor (like the normal ones that you get at Draknors or anyother towns with a crafter). You may knotice that all the armors from town to town look alike, just with different Armor Protection. This is where Fissure Armor comes in. People dont want to look like everyone else. The FoW armor is a special armor (which is very very expensive) which could be only found in the Fissure of Woe (acessable from the Temple of Ages when America *or whatever server* your in has favor). This armor is more "kick ass" in looks *as you will see below* and may gain an understanding why people want it. But because it is expensive, FoW armor is only given to those who are dedicated enough to save ~100 ectos and ~100 shards (which as you may know is not cheap). This armor is not necessary, nothing different except looks.
Materials and Price of FoW Armor
[QUOTE=Miss Temptress
Links Broken, Prices (Materials etc) Are listed below for each piece of Armor, Will update these pics As soon as I can, ty.
Prices
Every set of Fissure of Woe armor is going to cost you a combination of both Ectos and Shards. (for example; 15 Ectos AND 15 Shards). This does not include the rare materials needed. On every set of Fissure Armor, there is a fee on top of the 15 Ectos and 15 Shards, which is 15k. (The only acception is monk tattoos, who only use Ectos and have to pay 8k per peice). Id like to empasize that this is 15k PER PIECE! So yes if you want the set it will cost you 75k on top of the actual material.
Materials
On every piece of armor, there are additional rare material needed to purchase the armor, some need iron ignots, others feathers, all depends on you class (you can see what other material is needed in the pictures above). If you dont know what a Rare Materials you need by the picutre, go to the Grotto or Citadel (the other 15k armor) and check the materials needed there because these are equivelent to the FoW armor.
If it costs you 150 iron ignots and 36 tan hide squares for the say chestpiece of gladiators armor in the Grotto, it will also cost you 150 iron ignots and 36 tan hide squares for FoW armor
On the material list you will not find ectos and shards (this is only for FoW armor) and If the pictures dont load heres a list of how many ectos and shards you need for each piece of armor.
Headpiece: 15 Ectos + 15 Shards (some armors like Elementalist dont have a headpiece.) (Another exception is the tattoos on the monks armor. It does not require Shards (for any piece of the armor, not just the headpiece). )
Chest Piece: 45 Ectos + 45 Shards
Leggings: 30 Ectos + 45 Shards
Guantlets: 15 Ectos + 15 Shards
Boots: 15 Ectos + 15 Shards
the set will cost you (including helmet) 120 Ectos and 120 Shards (yes this is well over 1000k).
Why Fissure of Woe Armor?
First off, FISSURE OF WOE ARMOR HAS THE EXACT SAME AR AND OTHER STATS as ANY 15K ARMOR PIECE (FROM GROTTO or CITADEL) AND THE 1.5K FROM DRAKNORS.. This is a misconception a lot of people get and believe its a 15k AR. So why should people get FoW Armor considering its no better than any other armor, and the reason is, because people can. FoW armor is all about asthetics, the crafting materials are expensive and the quest to the crafter is not an easy one, so having FoW armor makes you all the more "1337" :). For many players it a sort of closure. I like to pvp, and dont spend much time on pve considering I beat the game with my warrior and monk is just used for farming. Having FoW armor on my warrior makes me feel more complete when I occasionally get on my PVE player to play. By playing tombs and winning Halls you get lots of money and dont know what to do with it. And to alot of people, FoW armor is the answer.
FoW Crafter
The Quest to the Forgemaster in the Fissure of Woe is usually not an easy one. In order to get to the forgemaster to craft for you, you will need to complete a few quests. (Thanks to Guild Wiki here is a Nice description of each Quest necessary).
Defend the Temple of War (http://www.zerolives.org/guildwars/index.php/Defend_the_Temple_of_War)
Restore the Temple of War (http://www.zerolives.org/guildwars/index.php/Restore_the_Temple_of_War)
Destroy the Seeds of Corruption (Optional Khobay the Destoryer) (http://www.zerolives.org/guildwars/index.php/Khobay_The_Betrayer)
in order to just get the fissure armor, you will need the quest which requires you to destroy the seeds of corruption. Khobay the destroyer is extra xp if you wish, but not necessary. *EDITED*
(im working on getting pictures of the areas of each quest and how to get there. I plan to get them tonight while getting a couple more pieces of my armor.)
Tip: All Fissure of Woe Armor looks the same. Meaning the Gladiators Warrior FoW Chest piece looks like the Wyvern Warrior chest piece, the only difference are the bonuses it gives you (+10 Pysical Attacks, +20 Pysical Attacks and so on). This concept is the same for all classes (except for the few classes, such as Monk Tattos and Necro Tattoos which are only 8K per piece and require only Ectos for Crafting)..
