Well, I just want to see what the strangest/dumbest item you have gotten so far in this event.

So far mine would be this amber wand I picked up today. At least it has 2 mods in the same profession. If all the mods were from the same skil tree it might actually sell for a good bit. Although some smite monk may find it useful.

please not again....

90% of all caster weapons are like that, 2-3 unmatching attributes, hardly anything newsworthy.

also nothing special, sure it's crap because it only has one mod but it's a common mod, you get +5 armor and lose 5 energy it's ONE mod just as +5 armor (while enchanted) is.

The stats stink, yell at me, scream at me, flame me, do whatever, they stink. We know it, you know it. Case closed. If you want to be a GW cheerleader fine with me.

No they don't - the item stink because it only has one mod, if it had one more it would be ok.

Insightful Forbidden Staff of Fire Magic
Dark Damage: 11~22 (req. 12 Blood)
Halves casting time (10%)
Halves spell recharge (9%)
Fire Magic +1 (20% chance)

That's the oddest one for me. More annoying than these, however, are the gold caster items with mods you can find on purples, or crap like air magic +1 shields.

I'm actually loving the event so far. If you go with a team, it makes the event so much more fun.

I can't complain so far, but i'm still slightly frustrated because everything i found so far was allways SLIGHTLY off from being a "perfect" sell. But the one item made me stare at the monitor for 5 minutes with the decision to just fricking salvage it out of anger.

Quote:
15-22 Oni Blade (req 8)
+14% (-.-)
-5 Energy
+30 HP
20/20 Sundering
One small number made it from a high class trade into a newbie scam. Gnarr!

Quite ironically i found an almost identical blade. Also with +14% but with crippling duration instead of sundering.

Uhm ... Amity ... that Oni Blade *IS* a great sell. The 14% damage is paltry when compared to the fact that its 14% All The Time and that is has a 20/20 sundering mod on it (and that its an oni blade).

Sure, you won't be able to sell it for 100k+ecto, but I could easily see it go for 20k+

For the love of all that is good, don't salvage that!

do you guys/girls get any keys from killing mobs ? Since they stated that they would increase the drop rate of keys also, from +1000kills (solo) even more in parties, i haven't got a single key

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Sorry to burst anyone's bubble but so far, to me anyways, this "chest" update is very...meh. I made about 25 runs in Nahpui, north of Raisu Palace, Echovald and all I got to show are crappy celestial staves, cockatrice staves, bleached skulls (5), non-max grapes that includes hammers and wands. The only gold I got was so stupid in terms of stats I thought about keeping it to show it around as a circus freak item.

So far it's more a gold pit than anything.

This event is ace, thank you anet. It's a great laugh chest running with mates , it's worth doing just for the stick thrown at each other for deliberately spreading disease to the first person who had already removed theirs.

So far I've had a Oni blade req8 15^50; a golden phoenix blade req 10, 15^50, +30 (salvaged the +30 off it); 2 20/20 dagger tangs and a rather nice platinum wand req 10 divine favor, energy+5(enchanted) smitting recharge 20% (a nice wand for my 55).

And on top of that I am hammering the treasure hunter and wisdom titles.

Bring it on!!

Then you could have saved them and used them for "special" fight.

Rare has many meanings.

Rare like it is normally is hard to get crappy gold items we can only laugh at occassionally?

So now they become more common but rare before the weekend maybe. Perhaps Anet means that sort of Rarity.

Hmmm Interesting, those Alliance town owners who get keys for 20% less must be laughing at us while making a hefty profit.

why not slavage it? if he gets the 20/20 mod it can go for 50-70k+ (more like 50k but imj not sure) and if he gets the fort mod its an ez 50k...
