Anyone know if any claw-skinned grim cestas have been found Gold or near max? I've been told that they are very rare, but is there any desire for them/ collectors of these kinda things?

sorry, but I haven't got a clue about these kinda item-trader-rarity-economy-thingy-things

Found on this link
There are several other skins available for Grim Cestas in the Prophecies Campaign. One version that resembles a gorgon head and is linked to the Curses attribute. Another rare version resembles a large mummified bird talon, it is currently unknown if it is tied to Curses or Death Magic. There are also Grim Cestas that look like the stone knife variant of Idols available as a quest rewards. Tyrian Collectors offer Grim Cestas tied to every Necromancer attributes except Curses.

Seems like it is indeed a very rare thing

I've got a white one from pre-searing, but i've never seen anything with more than +5 energy. No blues, nothing. :P

Thing is, I've had this one lying around in my Nec's inventory for quite a while now. It's Energy+7 (req 4 death) and I'm wondering if it's worth keeping it for posterity or if there's anyone out there who collects stuff like this. Maybe it isn't worth it, but what the heck.

Ideas?

I've seen plenty of purple gorgon head skins drops so I'm sure it's only a matter of luck getting a gold. The purple have always been max but with crappy bonuses. I have never seen the foot/claw before.

There's a green item called "Konrru's Fervor" that has a "gorgon head" skin:

But I've never seen a gold (or even purple) "mummified bird talon".
The only one I have is a blue req4 death magic that I've dropped on a charr near piken, a long time ago:

I have gotten that claw outside of Ascalon on the right near the wall. It was purple with crap stats. I believe the stats were death based on the one I got. Only time i've ever gotten that outside of pre.

Yes, WTB Gold Max Stats "Bird Claw" Cesta - 100k +40 ectos!

I doubt that would happen, mostly becuase there likely isn't a gold "Bird Claw" Cesta in existence, much less a perfect one.

They're common in lower level areas, I've found quite a few in Ascalon. Same goes for the Gorgon head. I've never seen one with max energy and I've never even seen a req on the claw one.

I don't think this particular skin is that rare, only the good ones are.

The best one I know of is purple. I believe Rau has it. I had a +5 energy white one... but well, it's white. And crummy. But I don't believe there's a max energy one in existence. Just like sickles (Tyrian).

gold max gorgon head 1es r still dropping, i think i still have 2 of them in storage, both got max e and i think both r curses, however i saw quite a few with death req. there's a green gorgone head offhand with death req, it got nice stats as well... i cant remember seeing claw cesta for quite some time tho.

Gorgon Heads drop all over Tyria/in FoW, and I've had multiple drops of it in gold. The claw (best offhand skin ever, imo) has dropped for me in white, blue, and purple; all were in pre-searing or post-searing ascalon.
