Suffused Obsidian armor

Suffused Obsidian armor is a legendary armor set exclusive to the Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure expansion. It is a visually upgraded version of the Obsidian armor set, with extra visual and combat effects.

A 'slumbering' version without any combat effects is also unlocked at the same time the Suffused armor is unlocked.

Acquisition

  Wayfinder Mastery must first be unlocked in order for Junior Archivist's Aide Conri to appear in the The Wizard's Tower near the Forge of Timelessness. Once   Wayfinder Mastery is unlocked and at least 1 piece of Obsidian Armor has been crafted, buy from Conri the available Runestone of Suffusion. Follow the Tier 2 Legendary Armor: Suffused Obsidian achievement path with the Runestone of Suffusion in your inventory. Completing this will award 2 Imbued Runes of Suffusion. These are used to purchase available Suffused Obsidian armor pieces from Conri. This achievement can be repeated infinitely (no benefit in repeating it after the 9th time). You can only have one Runestone of Suffusion at a time, upon completing Tier 2 Legendary Armor: Suffused Obsidian another will be available for purchase from Conri. It is possible to skip one achievement step per day by buying from Conri a Tincture of the related achievement step for a cost.

Three Runestones of Suffusion are needed to complete the Tier 2 Legendary Armor: Suffused Obsidian achievement thrice for a full set of a certain weight. Each completion awards 2 Imbued Runes of Suffusion for a total of 6 Runes from 3 completions.

Total cost for 3 Runestones of Suffusion

• 15 Amalgamated Rift Essences
• 6 Cases of Captured Lightning
• 6 Pouches of Stardust
• 6 Clots of Congealed Screams.

Graphics

In comparison to the prerequisite Obsidian Armor, these skins have more pronounced runes and small dyeable stones embedded in the armor. The Suffused Skins additionally have combat effects, where there is a slight glow around the character and glowing runes appear hovering above the already more pronounced runes on the armor. The Slumbering Suffused Skins don't have any combat effects.
