    I say these because you have a chance to recover HP, increase both pdef and mdef. With Anchor of chaos only thing your getting different from this set is some more hp(not much though) and red. phys. dmg 3%. Now unless you have alot of red. phys dmg x% gear thats worthless imo. 1000 dmg done to you, you reduce it by 3% you only cut of what, 30 dmg?

    Go with scarlet but thats just my op.

    I'm going to say Scarlet Axes. I've already made the decision that those axes are the ones I want end game. They also seem like damn good PvP axes as well.

    You get a good amount of VIT, a decent amount of physical resistance. Plus a chance to recover 5% of your HP, increase your physical defense further on top of increasing your magical defense. Sounds like it's full of win to me, but that's just my opinion.

    hmm, yea. i think anchor of chaos is kinda fail. But the shield which reduces 20% of ALL damage taken from Pan Gu's is not bad. And i dont really know how much the defense will be increased with Scarlet Axes. Maybe only +100 p.def/m.def. Ty for the answers. More Replies plz =)

    It's too bad but "free to play, pay to win"-sckye

    These "updates" are seeming more and more like downgrades.

    This, oh this 100 times over.

    These axes give you more hp than XS do AND It gives you a dmg reduction shield not to mention since it's grade 12 you can put in a g11 hp gem @ LVL 85

    This axe is so broken in tw with a contsant dmg reduction shield up and it stacks with turtle.

    Does the 20% shield activate often?

    In tw it activates about once every 5 or 6 hits or so.

    But with the 15 second duration it's almost like having it up @ all times if you're hitting something

    Why not? I carry two. I know BMs that carry polehammers, axes and fists. Depends upon what you're tanking and the make up of your party.

    I've got a question on this actually....can Pan Gu's giant axe still be made from the green Pan Gu's axe? Or does it now come as a drop after the frost land revamp?

    @Hazardus

    No, because u don't get any mats in FF. U can get only the finished gear at bosses, but im not sure if u can get the gold stuff.

    I belive it Drop from bosses. because i've tryed get ☆Gatherstorm gold poleaxe in drop from last boss.
    that one = str +14. crit +3 ( i think). Chance for regen 5% hp + increase atatck.
    pretty sure pan gu's been dropping in FC too.

    Ever sense PWI re-vamped Frostcovered, the bosses and mobs no longer drop Frost Mats. Therefore, it is impossiable to farm or create Frost Gear. The only way to get your hands on one is to get lucky with the current event.

    Personaly, I wish that when you entered FC, you could choose: Mat run, or EXP run. And the dungen would adjust accordingly. But maybe that is to much to ask for.

    well aint that a lovely crock of ****.. FC not dropping materials to make frostcovered weapons. wth's the point of running somewhere if u cant make the special eq's from that place? thats like... lets have HH stop dropping every single material in there, no more making the weapons/armors/ornaments that is THE reason for having these special places in the game. downright stupid if ya ask me

    gm's... wtf over?
    i'm pro all classes, and against none in particular..
    but the age old QQ about venos is just that. OLD.
    QQ'd about a nix lately? check out this thread n tell me who's "OP" lol..

    Agreed. If they wanted to encourage more people doing FF, they should have added the exp quest and left it at that.

    Making bosses drop equipments rather than mats is just kinda silly. How do you split 2 equipments between 6 people? b:surrender

    I am to low to go there...for now..and i'm searching for some guides that explain me something. I'm asking because i know 0 about this dungeon.

    Than..if I already have the green one, I can do the golden? Or inside FF i can't drop materials?

    There are no more mat drops in frost. So that's out of the question. If you have the green weapon "maybe" (and i say this because there is a possibilty that it could fail)m can be turned in a gold one. Just check the forges in frost.
