Each time you buy a weapon using insignia's the next level of insignia. THe cost of the weapon is subtracted from the next weapon. So You buy Upgrades not entirely new weapons. To unlock Warlord Insignia's you buy the Invader Insignia weapon first. Then Warlord Insignia's will be what you recieve.
Regarding prices on PTS, yes they are inflated. The will not be that expensive on live.
I can't wait to get one of those bows into Ruthlos-eth's hands - nom nom nom
Here's the link with all the RR75 weapons if ya'll wanna drool with me.

Also to Note: Tier 1 ... ... Tier 4 Insignia's all drop You dont have to start with T1 weapons. Basicly you buy the first weapon for your tier to be eligible for the second, third etc.
Ohh!!!! [drools over the two bows] It looks like there is one "offensive" bow (Sniper's) and one "defensive" bow (Sentury's) When do insignias start dropping? With the next patch?
You get them from Playing scenario's and by taking keeps. From what I can tell you dont get them from player kills. Oddly enough I got one last night on the Test server. It most likely happened when we retook the keep from destro right after they took it from us.
The one issue I am concerned with is the Tiered way you gain access to the Insignias like COnq. to Invader to Warlord ect. You MUST buy your Conq weapon in order to start receiving your Invader insignias however a 1 handed weapon costs significantly less than a 2 hander. This in turn will make those classes which have only 2 handed weapons slower in the race to get to the next level.
Toons like me will buy the Cong 1 handed axe or shield which ever is cheaper so that I can start getting my invader one get which ever is cheaper there to go after my warlord one. By that point I will prolly go after the 2 hander. But I will be able to get to my Warlord 2 hander long before say my friend the BW will with less time played since he can only buy 2 handed staves.
I know why the 1 hander costs less but at the same time I would have hopped that they would have installed a 2 hander "trash" pick up for those classes thst only have access to them so they could bypass the lower level weapons that they will not use. Of course they could make it so that if I want teh 2 handed Warlord hammer I HAVE to by the officer one and spend the time upgrading all the way to Warlord. That would be fair but still dual wileders can pick an chose what they want to get and gain levels much faster than a 2 hander so its still gonna be interesting.
Sorry BW,WL,RP,AM, it may take you some more play time to get the same stuff all the dual wielders get : (

Keep in mind prices on test were set to keep people from buying them until the mass sc test. They are sevearly inflated on purpous. We won't know real numbers till next weeks event. Also you can downgrade your insignias. Which means if you unlock invader you can break into 5 conq. It will be easy to get all of the weapons in the end. 1 sc 500 win will give you 6 invader which breaks into 40 conq.
Did you see the swords as well Stoat? - Enchanted Arrow fix AND a sword with range power & range crit! I think I love this patch...
So... Step one on these weapons is to purchase the Conquerer version of the weapon, and you upgrade without a "prior purchase penalty"... Is there a link to the Conquerer stats? How will they compare to the T4 influence weapons? Sorry for the questions, but this is exciting, since I have been using the same bow and sword for 9 months... heh heh... [follows up on Mystrii's observation] This is interesting... The Sniper-Bow and Sniper-Falcata have identical stats (both have offensive stats) The Sentury-Bow and Sentury-Blade have different stats (both still have defensive stats)
ok finally found a staff i can replace the one i use now am going to have to start the rvr push agin just so i can get to RR 75 lol
Where is the low rr ones i want to drowl......
I was trying to find out some info on the Conqueror level weapons - nothing so far... BUT I found this site that has some pics of what the new weapons look like. There is gonna be some cool looking suff out there :)

I have not seen anything except the RR75 weapons out there. Wish I could, I wanna see what my Mystriss has available and I'm curious how much lower the stats are on the lower RR ones. Maybe I'll see if I can find em on the test server. Oh wow, the art on those is pretty hawt. I'm so gonna have to redo our guild website!
