15k Armor

Very, very late in the game, or in a few of the major cities, people will
sometimes talk about armor that costs quite a bit of money, or known as
15k Armor. 15k Armor is armor that costs 15 Platinum plus some pretty rare
materials to make. 15k Armor is only obtainable in Marhan's Grotto, Granite
Citadel, and the Fissure of Woe (See Fissure Armor). There are four sets of
15k Armor that can be obtained, two are in each town, for all classes.

The only difference that sets apart the 15k Armor and the armor that can be
obtainable at Droknar's Forge is just the looks. Other than looks, all 15k
Armor WILL have the same stats as the Droknar's Forge armor.

Do not be pressured into thinking that 15k Armor is mandatory. 15k Armor is
mainly for the people who have completed the game and need a Money Sink Hole
(See term below).

15k Armor can be also referred to as Ascension Armor, but this term is not
so commonly used.

EXAMPLE: I need a run to Marhan's Grotto for my 15k Armor.



AoE
AoE is an abbreviation that means Area of Effect. Area of Effect can be any
spell or ability that causes splash damage to a target, or that will damage
multiple targets at one time. For example, the Elementalist skill, Firestorm
has a large AoE that will damage many enemies in such a short period of time.

AoE players are usually Elementalists or they can also be Rangers with traps
or the Elite Skill, Barrage. Regardless, groups will always welcome any player
that has many AoE's to help dish out damage.

EXAMPLE: My Elementalist's spells have a very large AoE!



Ascension

Ascension refers to a late part of the game in which you need to complete in
order to progress through the game and storyline (Unless you get ran).

There are four trials to Ascending. You need to complete three missions -
Dunes of Despair, Elona Reach, and Thirsty River. Once you have completed the
three missions, you will then need to kill your Doppleganger, in which more
info can be found in the term below. Once you have done this, you will be
completely ascended and can progress through the storyline normally. Ascension
is technically not easy, but with practice, it becomes easier to do and
understand.

EXAMPLE: I still need to complete Thirsty River for Ascension.

n trading, B/O refers to Buyout, or how much currency players want for their
specific item they are trying to sell. Depending on the stats, the B/O can
either be very low, from 1,000g, or very high, such as 600,000g. You can
always talk the trader into trying to lower the price to make it easier for
you to buy.

EXAMPLE: Selling a Gold Unid Storm Bow (B/O - 100k).

The UW is also the place for the rumor started for the Terror Shield. This
rumor has been shot down and the shield does not exist.

EXAMPLE: Forming a party to quest in the Underworld.

A very well-thought out and executed fable of a shield that can only drop off
Terrorweb Dryders in the Spawning Pools in the UW.

The Terror Shield rumor started from a person who is known on the Guild Wars
Guru forums named Kunt0r from the guild Treacherous Empires. He made a video
and several screenshots about the Terror Shield, and his fellow guild members
helped with the rumor by saying they found it as well. The Terror Shield
rumor was finally shot down by Gaile Gray a week later.

EXAMPLE: The Terror Shield does not exist.

FoW stands for Fissure of Woe, a place that can be entered from the Temple of
Ages. The Fissure of Woe is for players that wish to seek easy experience
needed to get skill points, or to have fun in. Regardless, Fissure of Woe
requires that you have a good team before you enter. You can only enter the
Fissure of Woe provided that you are ascended. Nearly all groups will not take
you unless you are Level 20 and have some Elite Skills, because all monsters
in there are Level 24+ and do good amounts of damage.

To enter the Fissure of Woe, your country needs to have Favor. If you do, go
to the Temple of Ages and look for the Champion of Balthazar. Talk to him,
pay him 1,000g, and you will be warped to the Fissure of Woe.

Since there are two areas that can be entered from the Temple of Ages, each
area has its own items that can only be found in that specific place, but it
is a very, very rare occurence that a Underworld drop may actually drop from
a chest in the Fissure of Woe. The Fissure of Woe has these area-only drops:

Obsidian Shards
Chaos Axe
Shadow Shield
Shadow Staff
Shadow Sword (Was removed from earlier Beta testings)
Shadow Bow
Dark Remains

The Fissure of Woe is the only place where you can craft the Fissure armor.
For people looking for Fissure armor, they will go here to craft it.

EXAMPLE: Forming group to go craft Fissure armor in the Fissure of Woe!

Sorry to ask but eva why do u need to post so many times?

don't you think it is too long to post as one passage.

i think that few people have patience to read it all.
so i post several part of it a day,

Thanks Eva xD  You made some goos posts there.  I have armour from droknars but it doesn't actually look very good.  I've heard and seen pictures of the armour they sell in Cantha, but i have not came across that place yet.  [Maybe its's on factions or nightfall]
