Supreme Armor[edit]

Supreme armor (in lack of another name) is the ultimate money sink, an armor set for the richest people. This is for the people who have more money than they can spend, who wants something better than the bland-looking Obsidian armor, and to bring their legacy onwards towards Guild Wars 2.

1. First the competition![edit]

It will start with a competition where people compete in designing the best looking armor for all professions. Preferrably armor that can be designed for both Guild Wars 1, and Guild Wars 2. The winners will see their designs come to life as the most exclusive armor Guild Wars 1 have to offer. 1st price is 5 Supreme Armor Tokens that is needed in exchange for one of these armor sets. Theese tokens are Non-Tradeable, but they can be transferred within the account through the Xunlai Storage. Honorable prices might include 1-5 of theese tokens.

2. The armor sets are designed[edit]

Theese will be highly expensive and very rare, but it will also require items that you can only get while playing various aspects of the game. For example completing dungeons, missions etc. I suggest an NPC that accepts a full Hard Mode story book in exchange for a special unique item needed. For example, a complete book of "Shiro's Return [Hard Mode]" could grant you an "Essence of Shiro". A number of theese items is needed in exchange for a Supreme Armor Token. The design winners will then get a headstart as they already have 1-5 Supreme Tokens.

3. Crafting the armor[edit]

Each armor piece is crafted throughout the world in an end-game hard mode area. For example, defeating Kanaxai in Hard Mode will could you to craft shoes, defeating Urgoz is needed for gloves, and in similar ways for head piece, leggings, and chest. Main item needed will be a Supreme Token plus additional expensive material. So even the concept winners are not home free, they still have to complete some end game areas and pay for expensive crafing materials.

3. The Guild Wars Legacy[edit]

Placing this armor set in your Hall of Monuments will also grant you to get the same armor appearance in Guild Wars 2, assuming the armor sets was designed for both games as a legacy armor.

4. PvP alternative[edit]

To give the PvP community a chance for this armor as well, perhaps it can be added as a PvP-reward as well. It will require some outstanding winnings in various PvP-formats, and the final reward will be an unlocked armor appearance to upgrade your PvP armor. Unlocking a full set should also grant them the Guild Wars legacy, allowing them to use the armor appearance in Guild Wars 2.

End Notes[edit]

Many people might complain this is way too expensive and that it only caters to the richest people in the game. This may be true, but as all parts involved deals with non-tradeable items, this shouldn't have any noticeable impact on the current market. Main purpose is that it gives the richest people a huge money sink, they have something more than a dressing level 7 mules in Obsidian armor, and it will become a big money sink in the game.
