No +health Obsidian? Seeking confirmations
What was this about then? Seeking confirmations. - 14:32, 22 May 2006 (CDT)
 * I think it means if you just have have prophecies you can't by factions-specific armour types (e.g. +health) &mdash; Skuld 07:15, 1 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I thought I read a specific confirmation that Prophecies-only accounts can still craft Factions-specific armor types in the FoW. - 13:29, 1 September 2006 (CDT)

Hey level 20 armor? it says 60.--Shade Murtagh 19:37, 26 October 2006 (CDT)
 * It says armor: 60 not level: 60. - 20:06, 26 October 2006 (CDT)

well whats the difference? you have to be level 20 to get it?
 * If you click on the level link, it'll answer your question pretty much how I would've otherwise answered it. - 23:54, 2 November 2006 (CST)

Insignias?
Does anyone know how the armor works post-nightfall? The heading on this page says armor types are available from all the campaigns so far, but Dervishes and Paragons don't have armor types. Can you, for example, buy Windwalker Obsidian Armor?

 * What I've heard, they have Obsidian armor with insignia slots. All the core professions also have "blank" Obsidian armor craftable. &mdash; Stylva  05:31, 18 November 2006 (CST)

So what does that mean about materials? Just basic materials if its inscribable? 71.163.33.7 01:41, 10 December 2006 (CST)
 * I would guess not, check Assassin Obsidian Armor, but this needs to be checked for all professions. &mdash; Stylva  (talk)(contribs) 05:19, 10 December 2006 (CST)

"blank" Obsidian armor craftable
"All the core professions also have "blank" Obsidian armor craftable"

Is this true can anyone followup on this? Im assuming its only through FOW in NF? What about on a non nighfall profession like... warrior?
 * It is true, all core professions have insigniable Obsidian armor now. Core professions are the original six from Prophecies. And it's possible to get even if you start from Temple of the Ages or Zin Ku Corridor, if that's what you meant, since it's the same area you go into. I'm not sure about the Factions professions though, since I have not been to the Forgemaster myself. &mdash; Stylva  (talk)(contribs) 19:20, 26 December 2006 (CST)


 * So, if I don't have Nightfall and I go to the Forgemaster and do his bidding and such, am I able to craft armor for insignias? I guess what I am really asking is, is there supposed to be a slot in the obsidian armor that says "put insignia here" or something? Because I recently went down and was able to forge but the armor looked like this: [[Image:BlankFOWarmor.jpg]]. Is this what it's supposed to look like or do you need nightfall to craft insignia armor? I have never seen armor that would have insignias applied so I wasn't about to throw money at a possibly very "plain" armor. Just wanted to get some confirmation before I start laying down the ectos and shards. (Besides, I forgot my tanned hides ><) --Vortexsam 16:33, 3 March 2007 (CST)
 * You should still be able to buy insignia armor. And the one in that picture should be the insignia armor, if you can't apply insignia on it I would bugreport it. :) No armor that accepts insignia says so somewhere in it's description. IMO it should. &mdash; Stylva  (talk)(contribs) 18:29, 3 March 2007 (CST)

Additionl Crafting Materials
Upon first looking at this page, it was helpful, but it doesn't say what else people will need for Obsidian Armor, based on their Profession. I'd like to try and find out what I can about this, but since it's work to get there, this may take some time. Does anyone else have information on this? Even the additional materials for one of the professions will be of help.

 * This is found on the pages for the separate professions, like Monk Obsidian Armor for example. Hope it helps :) &mdash; Stylva  (talk)(contribs) 15:36, 2 January 2007 (CST)


 * Thanks--Amazingant 21:27, 2 January 2007 (CST)

The Price?
Has anyone counted how much money would for example, Ritualist's armor cost? Just curious. ;) --Wyatt The Sad 06:57, 17 January 2007 (CST)
 * Depends on how much ecto costs. &mdash; Skuld 07:02, 17 January 2007 (CST)
 * I think about this all the time due mainly because I don't have much else to do and am thinking of getting a set for one of my chars, possibly ele or dervish. For pricing, I'll use the materials to get Ritualist Mystic's Armor with a Communer's Headwrap and a basic average of prices at a trader with no spiked prices.
 * 120 Ecto at 8.5k each = 1020k
 * 120 Shards at 3k each = 360k
 * 400 Cloth at 100g/per 10 = 4k
 * 35 Elonian Leather at 260g each = 9.1k
 * 5 Ink at 180g = 900g
 * 5 pieces of armor at 15k each = 75k
 * Total cost = 1469k
 * Getting to the The Eternal Forgemaster and forgetting one of your materials...priceless &mdash; Gares 08:10, 17 January 2007 (CST)
 * Funny that we had this conversation with a guildy yesterday, eh Gares?&mdash; ├ A ratak ┤  08:28, 17 January 2007 (CST)
 * Yep and he was suprised at the answer. :D &mdash; Gares 08:50, 17 January 2007 (CST)

LOL! That's ALOT of gold... I was actually thinking for getting the headwrap and nothing more. That would be reasonible. --Wyatt The Sad 10:20, 17 January 2007 (CST)

Head piece
''The common theme between all Obsidian Armor is, as the name implies, the visible use of Obsidian in the armor. It will be seen as shiny black elements of design (gems, spikes or decorations) on the suit. All caster armor sets do not have a head piece except Ritualist, and all non-caster armor sets have a head piece except Ranger.''

well actually it's all core class = no head except warrior

all expantion = head piece

elem
can anyone tell me the total price for an elem
