Talk:Tormented Shield

This is a talk-page for the tormented shield. . . so start talking =]  Press edit and just leave a message or something idk.

I heard you need 25 of every gem in order to get an Armbrace of Truth (which can be traded for a Tormented item . . . ) So how rare exactly are these gems? And what's inside those coffers O_o. BTW my alias is ShintaHimura and i'm mad >_<     68.193.113.198 18:35, 3 December 2006 (CST)

You only need 15 each now.

Pictures please.

Have anybody got video of shield animation? --212.122.214.161 05:23, 31 December 2006 (CST)

Added video of the glimmer animation Wostl

Looks like some purple mirror for me <_< --Varda 02:42, 5 January 2007 (CST)

nice looking shield that :) hmmm  :: Soqed Hozi :: 

I have the shield.. it's great, but the animation stops after a while. I have to exit guild wars and reload it for the animation to begin again

so does anyone know yet how difficult it is to get 60 of those gems ( i think we need a new farming build, or perhaps trappers could work?) i saw the shield going for 100k plus 200 ectos... YIKES! Can dye be applied to change the color?
 * Haha with the new ecto price drop I finally got my hands on one of these (beaaautiful) shields and can confirm they aren't dyeable.--Warior kronos 18:08, 30 May 2007 (CDT)

New Video?
I had the sheer luck to run into a kind soul online who let me record the animation of the sword and shield. I think it is much better than the existing video, and I was wondering if maybe we could upload this video instead/in addition to the existing one. The link for the video is here.VoteForGwen 09:57, 18 January 2007 (CST)
 * the existing one is much better than yours here(you get a close look, etc.) I think the youtube version got a slightly better quality: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IHEHV1F5LI&mode=related&search= )-Iggers 04:31, 22 March 2007 (CDT)

Dye
Based on the post before, Can you dye this weapon? -- (talk)
 * Finally got one myself, nop can't dye --[[Image:Tomoko's_Cookie.jpg|19px]] (talk)

Customized
Does anyone knows if it's customized when you get it ? i.e, can I get it for someone else -- J&#39;eBofu 07:36, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
 * its an offhand, cant customize them anyway. -- Xeon 07:37, 3 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Good to know. Thanks :) -- J&#39;eBofu 07:38, 4 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Special promotion off-hands like Serrated Shields come customized. (This one isn't.) &mdash; 130.58 (talk) 07:30, 6 May 2007 (CDT)
 * I'm gonna have to start farming 24/7 with my wammo to get this and the axe. Then i'll get non kaineng city armor and own.Dark0805 [[Image:Kinetic_Armor.jpg|19px]] 20:03, 8 May 2007 (CDT)

Animation Freeze Bug
Can someone confirm if the bug still exists ? Kiji -- 11:42, 14 June 2007 (CDT)
 * I think so, yes. If you stay logged for some hours (confirm?), the animations will eventually stop. It applies to all items that have similar effect to this shield (like Storm Bow.) Also some waterfalls, fountains and such will freeze, and the only known way out of this is to restart Guild Wars. --Aozora [[Image:aozora.png]] 08:22, 23 June 2007 (CDT)
 * You'd have to be one hard core gamer for that to happen, i've been logged in for a maximum for 9 hours(was afk most of the time) and nothing froze, of course, that was back when i started, so i probably wouldn't've noticed. Either way, you would have to be logged in for an excessive amount of time in order to see it freeze. Nothing to worry about unless you plan on vanquishing Underworld and Fissure of WHOA with no break in between.--Darksyde Never Again 11:39, 5 September 2007 (CDT)
 * Actually I think this "bug" should be removed. It happens with ALL animated weaponry. Celestial, Storm bow, magmas shield, tormented, everything that's animated will freeze every now and then. Either add the bug note to all animated weaponry, or remove it from this, it makes no sense for it to only be on tormented weaps when it happens to all of them. 76.174.13.77 16:36, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I think that this is like some other bugs, a bit computer related (u know like the "attack of the white blocks" bug) because I have never had any animation bugs and in the weekends I easily play GW for 10 hours in a row.--Fighterbitsj 16:04, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Pink
Fail. Should have let you dye the glow any color.
 * Pink=Margonite color=why it's tormented=win. Pushbiscuit 21:38, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * There are mods to change it iridescent :D

Only Decent Skinned Torment Weapon
IMO This is the only torment weapon that actually looks cool
 * I liek the recurve/short bow and spear ^^.--Diddy Bow 22:10, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Salvage?
Are you 100% sure that the tomented Shield cannot be broken? This as other tormented items (staff and scyte) have been shown to be able to break when salavaging for mods. I would hate for someone to see the text here, then go and break their tormented shield in salvage because wiki told them it was safe..--193.10.20.22 15:09, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
