Talk:Ranger Obsidian armor

does fissure armor look the same no matter what kind it is if its druid or drakescale?


 * Yes. --Karlos 19:55, 30 November 2005 (UTC)

Alright, so it says that a single piece of armor granting a specific attribute (in this case, +15 AL against Fire elements for a Drakescale equivilant) is universal, meaning you only need the one piece. At least, that's what I'm picking up. Is it like the write-out for Warrior Fissure armor in that sense?


 * What is "it?" As far as I know, only the +AL while casting for mesmers and the knight's/Ascalon armor aborption are global.  --Fyren 15:49, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

How I mean is, do the elemental AL's stack with more armor pieces of the same kind, or will having more be unnecessary?


 * The armor piece will offer the bonus AL to the area it covers only. So, if you wear two pieces of Aeromancer Armor and two pieces of Geomancer armor it does not mean you have +15 AL vs Air and Earth all over, it means that the two parts covered by Aero armor will have +15 vs Air and the other two parts will have +15 vs Earth. See Armor for the distribution of hits on armor pieces. --Karlos 20:02, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Please add the note that the INSCRIBABLE Obsidian armour requires Fur (the same material and amounts as for Frostbound armour). Or update the table. See the confirmation screenshot here: -- Alya 1 January 2007

Theres nothing remarkable about this armour :/ I can't see why people buy fissure armour for their other characters 195.137.4.228 09:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

It's because it is an advert as to how rich you are, and it looks nice. A money sink for once you have perfect weapons. Wyvern - 21:32, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

It's purely for the prestige, and in the case of Ranger Fissure, the looks, nothing more. ~It doesnt mean you have a lot of money, its means you've spent a lot of money, in terms of platinum and materials. My Ranger main character has this armour, and I often get positive comments as to how good it looks. One thing worth noting is that dyes do look quite dark when applied to this armour, as you can see on the example dyed pink. Personally I used a nice black/green mix for dark green on my Fissure armour.

Updated fissure armor for males. A lighter background would have been nicer though. Left out pictures with masks because the mask isn't a part of the Ranger Fissure armor. Xerdes - 10.46, 2 October 2006 (GMT+2)

Damn this armor is....UGLY:S --Shady 15:33, 11 December 2006 (CST)


 * I really like it, especially dyed black or white. Was going to get it for my ranger eventually but seeing the new Primeval Armour for Rangers I can't decide between the two...either way I'll be sticking with my 15k Druid's for a long while longer I think. Not sure if it's worth forking out for this armour when I already have some nice 15k anyway...imo this armour is one of the best Obsidian Armours, along with the Elementalist. They're the only ones I'd consider getting, along with Obsidian Warrior helms, but the rest of the Warrior Obsidian is so ugly compared to most other 15k armour imo. -- Hyperion` 17:46, 11 December 2006 (CST)


 * Yeah I'd have to agree. I really love this armor whenever I see it on any rangers. I don't think white looks that amazing on it :x But overall, I also think its one of the best FoW armor sets out there. It's simple and yet detailed. But I guess this argument could go on forever :P --Rei 07:00, 18 December 2006 (CST)


 * So it's settled, this armor is definitely ugly :) It looks like a jogging suit and is seriously so no thrills as to look legitimately like starter armor. Why waste the money instead of just saving one's starter armor? DavimusK 02:49, 27 July 2007 (CDT)

For some reason, this armor reminds me of a jogging suit when it's dyed very bright. It looks decent dyed very dark on a male but looks horrible on a female =/ 71.107.220.222 21:49, 17 December 2006 (CST)

I like it on my female ranger very much (dyed as light yellow leather). The best looking ranger armour in the game. It's very ranger-ish: no silly frills, very functional, really suited for shooting and stalking through the woods. The tastes are so very subjective, don't you find. -- Alya 1 January 2007.

I coulda sworn this was starter armour when I glanced at it, but know it's obby....what's the point it doesn't strike me. I wouldn't notice it from far away. I would think that the most it could be is 1.5k... Well now I know if you like thats your thing but it looks far too cheap to me, I'll go with primeveil or anceint because they make you look like half demons :D ~Quaz

Insignia
Since the release of Insignia, does Obsidian armour still have a selection of many different types to craft or does it now only have a single "blank" type (as per many other armour styles), which you add insignia too?

Also can anyone confirm that the Insignia version does require Fur? - Seems rather odd that it'd require fur like frostbound if it was essentially blank.
 * Alot of pages listing crafting info for armor require updating. See Armor crafting project&mdash; JediRogue  [[Image:JediRogueSig.jpg]] 21:35, 1 June 2007 (CDT)

I'm pretty new to GuildWiki so I don't want to mess up the page, but I went down to check out the crafter the other night for you. I can confirm that the crafter only has one set (the blank one) to craft now which requires fur.

Hope someone can make use of that info for the main page :) Calliara 06:45, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

ty ^^ thats it done. I assume this is the same for all the others?--Diddy Bow 08:40, 11 June 2007 (CDT)

Bad Look
This Armor looks like a cross between druid and kyrtan armor. It sucks.
 * Both of those have coats. Krytan is laced with tattered ribbon and has bone, druid is covered in sticks and leather. How does this even look the slightest bit like either one? Plz try to know what you're talking about before posting on here. And personally, i like it.--Darksyde Never Again 23:17, 15 August 2007 (CDT)


 * I pity the fool who bought this armor.[[Image:"Victroy is Mine!".jpg|19px]] Mizzou man 11:04, 20 September 2007 (CDT)
