Is it true that old skins (i.e prophecies) cannot have +5 energy mods on them? And does this include UW items such as eternal bows, even though they can be accessed by both games?

ps: wtb +5 energy eternal bow req 8-10 ¬_¬

Not sure,

Can't you savage +5 mods and add them to older items?

I'm not sure if +5 energy weapons drop outside of Cathan however.

The only "old skin" +5 ive seen is this one auction here on guru for a +5 Brute Sword.

I would assume that a +5 Eternal Bow might exist because the mod changes are gamewide?

They're not mods, they're inherant attributes of the weapon, like the 15/50.

I got told that the Tyrian skins couldn't get it, but I seem to remember peopel discovering +5 energy mods before factions came out...and I also thought it would be strange, that since UW is accessible on both games, Eternal Bow isnt technically a 'Tyrian' skin

yes you can get +energy mods in tyria, if you remember BEFORE they realsed factions there was an update and it said something like 'made it able to get +5 energy weapons'.

as this was before factions it must have applied to tyria, and thus the old skins

I have a +5 Energy Chaos Axe and that was from a chest in FoW, so I am inclined to say "Yes"

Sweet. I've been wondering if they existed but haven't seen them selling anywhere so I pretty much gave up on the idea that chaos axes could drop with +5 energy built in. I've always liked chaos axes as a running weapon and also think they would look nice for a caster.

Skins that drop in both Cantha and Tyria can drop with +5 energy. unique Tyrian items can't.

Yes, they can drop now in tyria. Pre-factions, you could get +5 energy items from HoD but that was it.

Hmm, not so sure that tyrian weapons can have +5 energy inherent. Maybe they can drop from UW/FoW/Tombs. But I've not seen many Tyrian skins with this.

My statement is pure conjecture, however, I believe it to be true.

Native mods are not game specific (well, not yet). Yes, they drop in Tyria.

I saw a Serpent Axe -non-max - wich had an inherent +5 energy.

as it has been stated, serpent axes and many other weapons drop BOTH in Tyria and in Cantha.

I firmly believe that +5 energy weapons drop only in Cantha. I've been wanting a +5 FDS since the beginning of the +5 weapons, and I still have to even see one of them. Same with +5 fellblades, so I don't think that UW drops any.

As a sidenote, I also firmly believe this to be a bug.

I think you can get +5 energy weapons only for cantha's (and those in common with Tyria) skins. Chaos axes: they drop both from chap 1 and chap 2. Brute swords: they drop also in chap 2. Serpent: they drop also in chap 2. Recurve bows: they drop also in chap 2. Might be wrong, but that's what i thought.

Hmm, that's interesting, cos UW and FoW are accessible from both Tyria and Cantha.

Never seen a +5 Chaos Axe up to now, sorry.

However, it is true that +5 weapons dropped in Tyria during those famous "2 days in which HoD swords dropped to 10% of their usual cost", so I would assume some rare-skinned tyrian weapon with +5 may exist.

I still think that the way they "blocked" these weapons from dropping when they accidentally let them is still in place, and it shouldn't.

Neither have I, I was just thinking they can drop as it's not a faction-unique skin But I'm not lucky with them, didn't find a +5 nrg weapon yet
