Garuda Weapon costs?

My friend logged in and said they cost 40 headdresses. Please tell me I'm being trolled.

Edit: They really cost 40 headdresses. Is this real life?

Edit 2: Good news, everyone! You get 2 headdresses per win. It's alright, people, crisis averted.

Maybe it's easier? Higher drop rate? Wishful thinking, lol?

Time will tell...

LOL It really is 40. i just checked with Rowena in uldah......
even with 100% drop thats still like 280 wins potentially to go 7/7

and so the dm grind begins

Absolutely disgusted with this. I hope the drop rate of the things is much higher, otherwise... might as well not even have the token items for all the good they do -.-

Are you serious!? That's...No...Just...

Bad SE! Go to your room!

Looks like I'm saving mine up for 1.23...

Gotta hold us over till July somehow I guess...

This has to be a joke, even with 100% totem drop rate-.-
They aren't even that good. Thanks, I guess I'll stay with Ifrit and Moogle then x-X

I think they will lower it each patch, finally settling in at 10 like the other two. This is going to be the standard for new content, I think. 40 at launch, 20 next patch, 10 at the end.

Hopefully this won't be the standard at all in 2.0. It's a horrendous system.

I find it funny honestly. They say that Garuda is going to be harder than Ifrit, yet instead of requiring 10, or even 20 items to trade to rowena, its 40... If the fight truly is harder, i must say i'll probably never try Garuda (hard). I camped Ifrit for 2 months, and I am not doing that again....regardless of spoils. 40 headresses? gtfo se

Vortex headdresses are not automatically placed in player inventories, but rather will first appear in the loot list of the player receiving it. Though the items are untradeable, because they first appear in the loot list, players who have no need of them can opt to pass them on to other players.

This is likely why the cost is higher. There is the potential of getting 8 headdresses per kill if all are passed to one person

if its 100% drops im fine with 40

Yeah and if it's like the charms and totems are now, it's about as equally likely you'll get a weapon to a headdress.

What part of that quote says headdresses are 100%? All it means is they work the same as Kupo nut charms and Inferno totems.

Which is exactly the same as Ifrit and Moogle, but their weapons are only 10.

I've only run a few Moogles but i have some shiney Dark Matter! Hurrah! I look forward to a few runs and then /meh

I lol'ed pretty hard when I heard that it was 40 headresses...

SE sure knows how to get you coming back for more eh?

40 is fucking stupid even if they are 100% drop rate

Does it matter, you will get weapons long before you get even 10 headdresses. Heck on ifrit i had 3 weapons before i even saw 2 totems.

Rewards for completing The Howling Eye (Hard) include an item called a vortex headdress. Vortex headdresses can be collected and exchanged for the new Garuda weapons.

This makes it sound like they're 100%, but perhaps it's just the wording. Have to wait and see I suppose

maybe thats what the emergancy maint is. se saying "omg did we realyy set it to 40? DERP!"

highly doubt it though.

no worries, GW2 is right around the corner!

I wouldn't bet your money on GW2, I played the beta.

Not impressed.

So 280 times if you want to get all weapons and are really unlucky with weapon drops :P

40 headdresses? That's the most ridiculous thing ever...

Meh, I beat Garuda already (Standard version, not the hard version.) so I figure I'm fine now. I was under the impression the bow was supposed to fold up according to some of the Garuda weapon concept art. But seeing the video it doesn't look like it does. Lower stats, forty freaking headdresses, yeah enjoy...

<Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to pass.>

Perhaps once the dungeon run is cleared, we'll know if the totem drop rate *may* be in addition to Garuda weapons having a chance to drop. But we'll see soon.

edit: I think it might be nice that an LS/company would be able to give their totems (assuming 100% drop rate) on another player in 5 runs and that player gets to choose the weapon of their choice.

Like I said, the DoM weapons will probably suck and not worth the 40 attempts...

They're not even the best for the most part...

Suppose its something to collect...

If it is 100% its good, least you will know you are garaunteed a weapon every 40 kills, you could get a wep drop in that time, where as Ifrit and Moogle you could go 0/100+ Especially if ur 6/7 and just need that 1 item but it wont drop and ur not getting any closer with totem.

40/280 is nothing when you know its garaunted, heck you might not want all weapons, i know i dont, some suck dick lol i only need 120 wins XD

We will know soon if its 100% or not when its killed.

maybe that's the reason behind the new storage in our rooms. you're now a collector and didn't even know it.

(I'm a noob, forgive me)

It's not even worth it to me to do any of the primal fights. What's the use? It's a waste of time.

I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!

First Garuda win happened and it seems they got 2 headdresses per person.

Well there ya go, 2 per person, not bad at all!

Unless thats just a reward for beating it the first time....doubt it though :)
