Description Edit

The Obsidian armor, also known as FoW armor, is a set of prestige armor art available to all 10 professions, and is accessible from any campaign via a corresponding access city (see the Fissure of Woe article for details). As with other prestige armor arts, it's only available as level 20 armor. Considering all crafting materials, Obsidian Armor is, by far, the most expensive armor in Guild Wars — although trader prices can fluctuate, the cost of materials alone is typically over 1,000 . (1 Million )

The common theme between most Obsidian armor sets is, as the name implies, the visible use of Obsidian in the armor. It will be seen as shiny black elements in the armor design (gems, spikes or decorations). None of the caster armor sets have a head piece, except Ritualist, and all non-caster armor sets have a head piece, except Rangers.

All Obsidian armor is crafted with an empty Insignia slot.

Acquisition Edit

Obsidian armor is crafted by the Eternal Forgemaster within The Fissure of Woe. To be able to get the Forgemaster to craft any armor, players must finish the following quests:

• The Eternal Forgemaster
• Defend the Temple of War
• Restore the Temple of War

Materials common to any Obsidian Armor:

The Fissure of Woe	Eternal Forgemaster	Max for each Class	15	15 15	45 45	30 30	15 15	15 15		120 120 75

Obsidian Armor also always requires additional crafting materials based on profession. Some professions do not have Obsidian Headgear.
