 * You don't have to be Level 20 for it, never have. You just have to be ascended in the respected campaign. Kanna 7:18, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

lol hey thats my monk =] Simmons 21:12, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

God, I hate this armor

 * Nearly every single monk in the game ash this + chaos gloves...really starting to get on my nerves..My monk personally just loves his kurzicks pants + labryinthe chest design, norn shoes, and glacial gauntlets and specs....But seriously, I don't understand why people want to be clones....  S entry007  [[Image:User Sentry007 sig.png|19px]] 22:45, 17 March 2009 (UTC):: People use what is considered to be expensive to show their "wealth" which imo is just a way of saying "I spend my time farming instead of injoying the good aspects of the game" i personally have no problem with Chaos gloves, but when they are used in conjunction with black dyed FoW armor so that people show off how stinkin rich they want you to think they are it does indeed get annoyinh. --Xenktray 19:04, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yepperz, I understand, Chaos Gloves are great, but this + chaos glvoes = EPIC FAIL!!!  S entry007  [[Image:User Sentry007 sig.png|19px]] 22:45, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Personal taste discussion FTL. So the person above likes labyrintine chest, kurz pants and glacial gauntlets, eh? What if I tell I think this combination looks horrible? That those gauntlets only really good on Eles? It's only my opinion, but can you see how ANNOYING it is when someone question your notion of beauty? I myself think MALE Monk FoW looks great. The pants are cool and I really dig the sleeveless look of the chest piece. The female Monk FoW isn't that nice though, I think the cleavage looks stupid - then again there will be kids out there who love it. In the end just get the armor you like and stop bashing what others think is beautiful or not, it's a huge waste of time.189.83.235.221 19:55, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

i dont see why your so opposed to that combination. what if i just like nice things? if i grind for days and days and days and have a mmased a large ammount of wealth then why the hell shouldnt i spend it on the nicer aspects of the game? i liked this armor WAY before the whole clone issue and i like chaos gloves anyway. so im gonna wear my black dyded obby armor and my white dyed chaos gloves and my black dyed ninja mask with my black dyed Voltaic spear and black dyed amethyst aegis proudly because i spent massive ammounts of time dealing with bitchy UWSC and FoWSC teams to get it. and plus its a fantastic set of armor. if you dont like it you can munch on it. because its a wonderful set. i dont see you ragging all over any other proffesion when they wear this armor. so why is it that a monk cant wear it? if you dont like the concept for the whole suit then dont get it.

and btw. i bought that set because i like the way it looks. not because its expenive. theres a reason the good stuff is expensive. its because its good. so you have to pay big money for it. i think you should spend less time focusiing on the fact that person has grinded for a long time and think for a second "hey this person has really worked hard" because you cant buy this set from a run and you cant finish the fissure of woe by paying a runner. (at least not from what ive heard) i worked goddam hard to get this set. so dont get on my case just cuz other people think its a cool set too. the reason theres so many ppl that look like that is because it looks good. so back off. =D 68.166.219.88 04:08, 2 April 2009 (UTC)Briar
 * No, people look like that because they have 1. alot of free time to farm, 2. feel the need to have a giant epeen so they only wear the most expensive stuff possible, and 3. they have no imagination for custom armor combinations. The crystaline sword is a great example of this. Rare as hell, expensive as hell, and ugly as hell.--71.176.29.9 05:12, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
 * this set just shows tht you have got NO LIFE ;)
 * "Nothing could be farther from the truth!" - quoting Evennia here. Seriously, I never have farmed in GW, just playing the game regularly over the years has bought me an Obsidian set and much more.189.83.217.70 20:01, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Your contribution is highly valued and greatly treasured by the community. --Kyoshi (Talk) 08:34, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * so is this a discussion about the look and feel of the armor on this page or a personal attack on how i spend my free time??
 * People just like to buy this armor+chaos gloves only because it's expensive and it "shows" how rich and how "pros" they are in the game, even if the Obsidian Armor had the Ascalon Armor's skin and vice versa they will still buy the Obsidian Armor (psychologically the fact that this armor is so expensive encourages the people to think that it looks the best). Well that's what most people think, there's nothing wrong with it. In my opinion the looks of the armor matter the most, i only buy armors i like, not because they're expensive. --Soulforged 11:55, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Some people actually think this set is beautiful. I am one of those. Why did I buy Obsidian on my male Monk and female Mesmer? Because both look incredible (my opinion obviously). I didn't buy Obsidian on my Warrior or Ele though, because I don't like their version that much. Many times, it's not a question of show off - it's genuine sense of what looks good for YOU.189.83.217.70 20:01, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Awww look at all the poor people that cant afford nice things. Its okay poor people. <3 Briar 02:23, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * This armor set is easy to get without doing any farming whatsoever. Powertrade is win. =P Briar 08:10, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * "Awww look at all the poor people that cant afford nice things. Its okay poor people. <3"
 * Are you stalking me? O.O Briar 09:10, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
 * You've been posting a lot lately and I stalk the recent changes. So effectively yes, intentionally no. --Kyoshi (Talk) [[File:User Kyoshi sig.png]] 17:27, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Fow Armor
This is like the best Fow armor imo--Drug 00:39, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Which is hardly saying anything, considering this makes you look like some ancient Egyptian.Pika Fan 23:04, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It makes you look like a tampon applicator! Albrect Karew 17:47, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, this armor makes you just look like a standard farming scrub. Srsly, just get elite Judges instead. My monk flaunts that and absolutely no additions from EotN, and it looks pretty awesome imo. Also, Pika's monk is pretty nice, not sure about the destroyer gauntlets though. 82.34.128.19 20:35, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Your opinion. Now let me give you mine: Elite Judge fails. You can barely notice a difference between the elite and non elite versions.
 * Whats wrong with looking like an ancient egyption? Briar 09:11, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

I love how
You all QQ about how bad it is that people spend that much hours into playing the game for getting fow..imo trolling wiki discussion pages are worse lol.
 * Actually, not signing is worst. :P But yea, most overrated armor in the game. I see more monks with obbi than any other armor (prestige and nonprestige). Hey, if you want to spend time and get this armor, then grats. But its not for everyone and definitely not for me. --68.214.73.177 05:22, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
 * A month of good PvP will earn you enough in zkeys+coins to get FoW easily...--71.186.53.166 20:35, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Female Monk
I personally think that the female armor of this set is nice. Like some of you guys already said, it's just a personal opinion, the fact that is really expensive and really hard to get is, in fact, something I don't like, not something I like to show off to all the people I don't even know, same with the Black Dye lol I love black in real life and when I see that black is the most expensive dye ingame is really sad lol, I don't have my ranger in black cause is expensive and the people may think I have a lot of plat or farm a lot, (well, now 40kfor 5 black dyes is not that much) I have it because I like how he looks with the regular Shing Jea armor, spectacles and black dye.

Anyway I hope to have a set of this armor for my monk and one of the monk norn armor, even when I'm far from "game" rich lol

This is cool armor it looks good black dyed--Gozu 19:27, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Handwraps
Handwraps looks almost the same as elite judge handwarps :o 194.252.105.84 13:42, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Clowns?
Anyone else think the male version looks like a clown? --173.49.236.3 15:50, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Female Version Suggestions
I feel that just full obsidian and the common, and slightly overrated obby+chaos gloves+blindfold on female versions look pretty bad, so I was wondering if anybody knew some decent combinations that I could use with this armor, I was thinking of definitely getting the torso but, IMO, the pants look horrible with it. Any ideas/suggestions or personal favorites would be appreciated. If you can provide a picture that would also be nice to see how torso and pants kind of meld together.
