jade quarry

another one to file under - things i love about guild wars. I'm getting into things i've never done before, and I'm loving it. Here's how it happened...

I was looking to buy jadeite shards for the luxon armor i'm trying to get, and found out that yo

u can trade faction (5,000) for one shard. Well... the Jade Quarry competitive mission is a great way to earn faction. If you play kurzick, you can trade faction for amber chunks at a kurzick

beaurocrat (the shards are from a luxon scavenger).

so here's what i suggest

step 1

pick the armor - kurzick need amber, luxon need jade... which ever side you choose you start the jq mission from their outpost.

luxon warrior - jadeite shards

kurzick warrior - amber chunks

luxon ranger (jadeite shards)

kurzick ranger (amber chunks)

step 2

pick a build

there's a couple of ranger one's in the meta category - burning arrows and crippling shot

there's lots of warrior builds... gale axe, a strong heals build (info in spanish i think), devastating hammer and earth shaker

step 3

head on over to the Jade Quarry (on the side that suit the faction you are after), enter the mission and go crazy...

i find that it takes between 1 and 2 runs to get the 5,00 faction needed.

The 5,000 faction will also contribute to your friend of the... title.

and it doesnt matter if its not the same as our alliance (kurzick).

step 4

save up all the materials you need, and of course a heap of gold... get your armor and throw it into you're hall of monuments! 2 points!!

shweet?

let me me know how you go.
