still farming so it's no good to me to reveal exactly the location to anyone here. |

Thanks again, Guinevere Ac!
BTW: No such luck... in fact, out of those 40-something, I only got 10 golds, and none of them were Jade Swords... craptastic

seriosuly noone ever noticed this chest behaviour? thought it was pretty obvious. i'm sure sephix axe and dead bows hunters have this pretty clear in mind

Scutilla
A bit of a request... could anyone who has found the Salient Daggers post where it dropped for them, and from what monster? I've been able to fill in most of the information for the other weapons, but haven't seen anything on the daggers yet. Thanks!
Take your own advice, it is indeed a Stone Crusher skin
The Vera is the only Tetsubo-skinned green.
Wow, that's really neat. Never heard it before, I guess if it works then not many people know about it (til now, of course
).

Has anyone confirmed that they have had a Jade Sword "drop" from one of the Outcast foes.
I've cleared out all the Outcasts in Rhea's Crater since the new update (quite a few times, and doing other stuff in between runs) and have seen no sign of this sword.
Who knows? Maybe these only come from chest drops and not foes, hence my original question...

I did and I find it quite annoying. I just got that bow from a Luxon Chest surrounded by some Naga mob (Sskai's).
Sorry Guinevere but I still don't buy your 350 chests in a day.

Believe it, chest farming at it's finest. Though, poor me, I still haven't gotten a single Jade Sword (or much less any gold worth a damn). That behaviour of certain mobs hanging out around chests causing the chest drop to be specific is quite odd. Never heard nor thought of it before. Gonna have to keep my eyes peeled, most definately.

LongSword and Flamberge are ok. Flamberge was actually the first sword I'd use in Chapter 1, just dont see "perfect" ones enough.
Butterfly skin is Thin. Badly rendered the blade.
Katana looks good on a caster. Thats about it.
Vertabreaker is HORRIBLY rendered.
I forgot what a shinobi blade looks like >_>

Got another jade sword today. Not that great, but I saw someone bidding on what I think is a garbage one in the auctions. Buy mine! lol
abacusnx
can someone tell me where there's a chest near where outcasts spawn or at least which outpost I should leave from? Thanks
And thanks for the tip Guinevere, I never noticed that before.

I think there could be some awsome looking staffs.. icy dragon staff=D or wand i dotn care just give us some love

i really think they need to address the mods that spawn on wands/staves enough of them drop (not new rares but in general) and 99% are junk because the mods never spawn max with the same attribute mods let alone the same attributes the wep req is
jade staff reg10 domination
hrs 19% earth
hct 19% divine
armor +7 vs lightning
crap like that
cmon how hard is it to set som if statements that won allow the mods to diver at the least from what class the attributes are selected from
if the req is domination the hsr/hct should at the lest be mesmer and beyond that a real fix would to then run a second pass to only allow the hsr/hct to be of the same attribute...
yea off topic but in response the whole "caster hate" paranoia is hard to be believable considering how many wands/staves drop.... yea they have rediculous mods but thats bad programming

I doubt that revealing teh location helps much. Maybe if you pass that luck charm of yours or something :P been farming silent surf for last 2 days, bout 80-100 chests (i know, not much) and about 30% were gold. 75% of those 30 were caster items. The rest bows and daggers and a gay jade axe. No sword yet!
Guess i shall move over to 2 manning underworld again. one question: do gloom shields only drop from chests or any mobs drop them as well? anyone got a drop from the smites or aataxes yet?
