This without a doubt the worst gold I have ever gotten. I found this little dud in a FoW chest and this is what I got when I identified it. Enjoy...

FoW don't drop inscription weapons right?
He may have salvaged the mods but that came without inherit mods and that pretty bad imo

req x illusion
HRT curses
HCT fire

Oh and that weapon is normal just salvaged since items stay gold after salvaging

IE:

Had a sup scythe and salvaged but stayed gold

Yeah, but this was probably one of the golds that had mods that didn't have an inherent mod. - it happens.

I've had golds drops where the only mod on it was an elemental mod (usually fiery).

You just salvaged the mod off a Gold Shadow Bow and posted it here...GG

(For anyone that doesn't know, now you have a chance to not destroy an item if you salvage a mod off of it, so if you manage to salvage all the mods out and the item is still there - You have a colored item with no mods on it)

well, at least its max, and you got to id...so thats another point for the title.....so you can either merch it or mod it for your heros. Dont see much of a problem since 99% of the golds I get either have a 13 req, are not max or arent worth 300gold......

It could have been worse....

Req 13 anyone? I wouldn't complain about it too much.
If it had a high req, not even the merchant would take it. lol

Woulda sucked if you lost the armor and ended up with nothing but the BM insignia.
