Where can I get the highest level Aquatic Headgear? I only have a level 47 one and I want to put a superior rune on it.

**Arcana** · 2012-09-21 06:29

IIRC the highest aquabreathers are from a karma vendor in frostgorge sound.

Q. whats the respawn time on orichalcum veins is it 4 or 6hrs?

**Kiarax** · 2012-09-21 06:46

Think it's usually 6 hours for nodes to respawn, but I got the one in WvW lastnight before I went to sleep and it's still not back (was a rich vein at entrance of WvW puzzle on Ehmry). Not sure if WvW just works different or what.

yeah i usually do nodes before logging off for the night too, but did the WvW nodes in Eb 24hrs ago and still no respawn so thats wierd. might require you to complete the puzzle maybe.

I can't speak for WvW, but in Frostgorge, the Oric respawned exactly 5 hours (was waiting for it, as I was trying to figure out respawn timers) after I last harvested it.

Aren't nodes randomized to some degree, too, at least daily?

They're fixed until a server reset/patch.

I'm still not quite up to speed on resources to use when planning item acquisition etc. Or maybe the tools just aren't quite there yet. In any case I was wondering if I could get some help on putting together an armor list. I'm looking to build a power/toughness/vitality ranger but need some help on putting together a wishlist. It looks like the Beryl amulet, earrings, and rings are what I should be after. Also, would it be in line to put a superior sigil of bloodlust on my weapons? Can you place them on weapons that already have a bonus? Lastly, I like the look of Superior Rune of the Dolyak x6 for armor for this build. However, I'm having major problems finding what to shoot for for base armor to put it on.

Vigil armor is, of course, a very easy option but it looks like it doesn't have the same defense as exotic armor in some databases. However, in other places it calls it exotic. Also, other armor (like dredge or svanir) has power/toughness/vit on it but does that include a rune already? Or are those attribute bonuses before the rune? Can you overwrite the rune with a different one on exotic gear? Basically I'm looking for a way to get top line gear with P/T/V via crafting or loot if I can. If the only way is wvw, karma, dungeon then so be it.

**arus2001** · 2012-09-21 23:59

I don't believe that stat combo can come from crafted goods, so you're basically left with some karma pieces and PvP stuff (which requires a lot of tokens per piece). May be some dungeon stuff, but never looked to those stats since I don't care for dungeon running (in its current form, anyway).

**Kachiko** · 2012-09-22 01:35

At least for cloth, Orange Power/Vit/Toughness gear is pretty much WvWvW token, and it's something like 2500 for gear + accessories (the Amulet is over 500 alone...). I've been doing quite a lot the past week or so, and only have ~500 now, and a good chunk of that were the jumping puzzles. With this weeks match up, I don't expect I'll get as many.

**Arcana** · 2012-09-22 02:07

Pow/tough/vit does indeed come from WvW badge vendors & you can change any suffix on any armor/weapon by changing the rune or sigil.

You aren't going to need vit on every piece of gear as a ranger, your default HP is 15k, and you only need ~16-17k hp unbuffed before you start to stack toughness. Get a few pieces of valk gear for some more HP(vit/power/crit dmg), then nothing but knight's(toughness/precision/power). This will give you tons of survivability and damage, you could also opt for some clerics gear(healing/toughness/power) but I'm not sure how ranger works or how good your healing is. You can get this gear from crafters.

**Zhane** · 2012-09-23 01:35

Can someone enlighten me on why the only endgame dungeon runs occur in Orr and CoF? Sorrow's Embrace and Honor of Waves merchants have much better stat combos (for guardians at least) than the former gear sets. Am I missing something? The past 3 days I've been waypointing in and out of SE and HoW to see if anyone is there searching and I haven't seen a single soul. Am I sol for this gear?

**Prothescar** · 2012-09-23 01:51

because people are drones and will flock to whatever's the easiest

This. CoF & Orr are so simplistic that retards can do it, so thats what they're doing.

**ClarkSammich** · 2012-09-23 02:28

You can get the power/vitality/toughness distribution from the temples in Orr as well, each temple has one or two of the pieces of the set. i.e. Dwayna temple is shoulders and one other, I forget which, Melandru has the hat, etc. They're 42k karma per piece, so it's not really an endeavor for the faint of heart if you're not starting with a lot saved. A lot of people say it's dumb to even bother with the temple set, but I think they look pretty fuckin' neato. I gained the majority of my karma for it from WvW, took a weekend of pretty solid playtime. My plan was to farm karma in WvW for the temple set, then save badges to spend on those accessories, it's working out OK so far.

CoF & Orr are so simplistic that retards can do it, so thats what they're doing.

Also, this. This so hard. I have had nothing but excellent experiences with PUGs for story modes, and some of the less popular explorable zones like HotW. But the second you join damn near any group for CoF or Arah? Prepare to have your skull split open by a lighting bolt of stupid while idiots proceed to pee onto your brain.

**Kuishen** · 2012-09-23 02:43

Hat for medium temple sets is so fucking ugly though. Plus saving karma for legendary anyways.
