Since the Katana is your basic crafter sword, there's really no need to sweat the Gold drops - heck, it's the only sword type you can guarantee a +5 energy mod on (from the endgame crafter).

...However, as mentioned they drop normally pretty much everywhere in Factions. Kaineng City seems to favour them in my experience, especially from Jade Brotherhood and Am Fah

Kaineng City seems to favour them in my experience, especially from Jade Brotherhood and Am Fah Yeah it is a weird thing that people want gold versions of things you can easily get with the best stats available at crafters, especially as the only way others can even see that it's gold is to open a trade window.

Yet strangely enough I would like one too. Maybe it's just collector fever...

But yeah I haven't found any dropping either.

They seem to be just as rare as any other "average" skin. I know for certain that they drop in Kurzick areas, as I've had +5 energy and 15^50 ones drop there.

Livingston I think its more to the point that Gold items simply look better when you view their stats... I guess having them makes the player feel better about themselves.

I always start with crafting weapons, and if I found a good replacement gold item for it, then I'll replace it.
