New Weapons Reported

An old friend who works at the Kaineng Docks shared some thrilling gossip with me. He overheard that a vessel carrying a shipment of weapons—of a type previously unseen on either continent—was en route to Cantha when an unknown force ambushed it. The brutal attack left neither cargo nor survivors behind. The weapons were stolen, along with the rest of the payload, and have apparently been sold to various groups and armies on mainland Cantha.

The information is hazy, but early reports suggest the items were spread across the continent, and some have even made their way into the Underworld and Fissure of Woe. It seems whoever intercepted the shipment has no regard for the citizens of Cantha, for these miscreants have essentially armed some of the most villainous armies with powerful weapons to turn against the innocent.

The Outcasts in the Jade Sea have been bragging about a new weapon they have acquired, though the type is unknown. Also, Wardens of the Echovald Forest were seen transporting what looked to be a large crate, suggesting they have acquired some of the plundered wares as well. Other weapons are apparently being sold off to individuals, rather than in bulk to a particular army, meaning we will find many of these new items in the clutches of random evildoers. Canthan officials thus far have found themselves unable to halt the distribution of these stolen goods.

However, even in the darkest hour, there is always a shred of hope. These weapons could be liberated and turned against the very armies of evil that now wield them. The equipment would no doubt be of great value to both treasure seekers and soldiers. It would be most advantageous for you to hunt the beasts that now possess these items and augment your personal arsenal or sell the loot as you see fit. Canthan officials will not hold you accountable for possession or sale of the stolen artifacts, provided you were not part of the initial plot to steal them.

If you are fond of new and rare equipment, you would be wise to search for these new items soon. They are no doubt being distributed among the ranks of our most hated enemies as we speak, and we most likely will begin seeing them used against us within the next few days. May Dwayna protect you while you wrest the stolen items from these fiends, and may Balthazar strike down those who stand in your way!

I don't think they're added yet, probably with an update tonight, meaning us Europeans can see what and where you Americans dug up and farm it easier, though prices will have dropped.

Seems rather fair...

There will be an update first (100% chance today or tomorrow, with the Fort Aspenwood/Jade Quarry Update).

It seems to indicate that it drops off of any Warden or Outcasts. Fissure...who knows.

Doesn't say they're green (although it's easy to get that implication...)... perhaps a new weapon type that could be gold, purple, etc.

Probably greens though.

It was the same nomenclature used previously in The Scribe. So yes, it's greens.

The update should be sometime later today, if ArenaNet is following precedent with the Weekend Updates.

Very likely. This is the exact same thing they did with the last batch of greens.

The Scribe specifically mentions that individual people have the greens. And since there is only 1 boss in FoW and no bosses in UW, no.

I actually wonder if they are going to add some bosses to FoW/UW to hold the items. That would be a refreshing challenge for sure.

Wonder if they will be skins from the previous 'create a weapon' contest, maybe of runners-up those that didn't win?

One would think that these new weapons may be Elonian in nature. Hmm ....

Good thinking - that is a distinct possibility.
