okay so I've been trying to get one of these for quite sometime... I've noticed a large increase in the amount of gold colossal scimitars, so I was wonder where have any of you found or farmed them?

I tried cr in the barbarous coast... and well i guess i could keep trying that, I was also killing every corsair in that zone.

I recently searched for colossal scimitars in search and came across an idea for soloing the beginning of moddok where u kill the corsairs in the very beginning(where u talk to the corsair captain) over and over and people have claimed to get them from doing this... but after the first few runs it doesnt even seem possible that they will drop a max dmg one. >_<

*********Here is My Updated W/Rt Build that works wonders ^_^***********

Temp Code: OQgkEhSSlGyiFT8KVAkW6FfNxA
9 strength (8+1)
3 axe (runes don’t really matter)
12 restoration
12 tactics (1+1 helm)

There no need for any sup being used

VwK - elite
Vengeful
Cyclone axe
Shield stance
Healing sig
Dolyak
Bonettis
Resilient Weapon

Swap in or out watch yourself/ resilient/ vengeful
Vengeful isn’t really needed that much unless You Feel That killing the Corsairs at diff times (not all at the same) Spacing the deaths out to try to get more loot, it doesn’t seem to matter too much.

First Decline
again a little distance and hit Shield stance once the corsairs swarm on you... keep adding some distance if u need it
Then throw up VwK and then resilient weapon and Dolyak, be sure to face the corsairs and kite backwards so you’re not taking a ton of criticals in the back.

Keep alternating VwK Shield Stance and Bonettis
Use Bonettis whenever you need energy, resilient is 10e but it lasts for 17 when not under weakness and 16 under weakness.

Moddock Crevice doesnt drop them just keep killing corsairs and opening chests its all you can do now.

imho they could drop in Moddocks too, there are Corsair Weaponmasters, its my guess (!!!) that those might drop em.
id guess HoH is the source of most max-ones tho

Well I got it from this thread
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ossal+scimitar

so I dunno if its true or not...

but is it just any DoA chest that drops them? or is there a specific zone?

I wouldnt rely on GuildWiki too much for information.
I myself doubt they would drop from doA chests,but if they do,they will probably be extremely rare to get one,and besides,CR in DoA isnt worth hassle anymore in my opinion.
I would stick to farming Barborous Shore and HoH if u do that.

k thx for the help

After posting this it seems there a quite a few more ppl in moddok with 2 person parties cause u need dunkarooo

but i've been farming this corsairs and got a 15-21 dmg purple tattooed scimitar which is very rare also..... good +5e for my monk ^_^

but it does seem like it is possible they will drop max dmg weapons now. You just need to get a rare drop.

Yeah probably,but it will take quite a heck of alot of farming runs to get one,unless your a lucky bugger I did that farming a couple times myself but got bored quite quickly.

so far nothing really cept a nice 1 pt off max tattooed scimitar, but it seems possible that they will drop colossals cause i've seen people with non max gold ones..... and I know for sure they did not drop from hoh chest.

I was recently trying to solo the dajkah inlet challenge mission with my sin only thing i cant kill is the Monks -.- YAA wars = crap
Wiki states that tattooed and colossal have a higher drop rate there so i dunno.... I'm going to most likely solo the coast and cr while I do that.

ty

oh yah btw there is a seller in highend selling 4 max dmg gold Colossal scimitars and I asked where she farms..... and I was bluntly dismissed -.- but its clear this person knows for sure where to get these and isnt sharing at all.
jerkface!

The two most common places for colossal are Barbrous Shores and the Dajkah Inlet challenge mission. But to get a MAX dam and low req is exceedingly rare. There are also reports from HoH, DoA and torment chests but again the chances are extremely slim. A friend of mine did 1000 chests in DoA, no colossal and just one elemental.

Would it be too much to ask for the people who are selling collosall scimitars on this very site to tell us where they got them?

Why not just farm wherever you can earn some decent cash and then go buy one?

becouse it's not so easy to farm up couple of milions.
And beside it's much more fun farming for items then farming for just gold.

According to wiki, if you do the first challenge mission, there you have the highest chance to get a colossal and a tattoed scimitar.

I think so, I tried yesterday once, but I hate it when that healer monk is running away from you (I did it with my warrior), and killing the rest not possible because they are constant healed. And you are constant cripple and weakend
maybe another prof can do it, I do not know

Farming Barbarous shore is not worth the time imo, takes long, is anoying with the running doctors and drops suck. You'd be better off running doa chests or doing ha instead of replying to this topic (and i dont think IF any1 farms them, they will tell it you.)

Dajkah Inlet's drop rate is some of the worst I've seen. I go in with a party of 6, and the corsairs only seem to drop something occassionally, average 1 drop per mob. I don't think anything worthwhile is supposed to drop from the mob in challenge missions.

For the challenge mission I was soloing part of it with my modded Sin Uw farm build, but its impossbile to kill the monks because of there constant kiting and you being crippled 70% of the time.
cripple+corsair nets X_X
I can only really farm the first stage of the mission, but maybe thats what ppl do? I wonder if its like the further you go the better drops you get?

I dunno how this one guy is doing it, he just added yet another Max dmg Req 10 colossal scimitar he has sold like freaken 5 this week...wtf
lady s shiva or something take a look at his auction in highend theres two req 11s and two req 10s and he already sold one req 12 for 100k+70e

He sent me some rude message where he blunt just said like screw you.

"Some farming places work FOR some people." wth...

anyways it seems like more are dropping for it might be best to wait and see if anyone is nice enough to post the area where they are getting the drops from.

I've done some trading with Lady S Shiva, and that's no farmer, just a merchant. Sorry to say that these people getting 5+ colossals a week are buying them cheap in game and selling 'em for marked up prices on the forums. There's no farming spot for them like there is for deads, but you can get them chest running and such. And to answer another question, I talked with someone who was selling an uninscribable colossal that he got from moddock, the whole thing seemed weird and it just screamed glitch, so I doubt the colossals your looking for drop there.

but yah I saw that uninscribible colossal and right away i was like omg MODDOK!! lol.... I farmed that for like 50 runs and its pretty fast but it was very worth it, best thing I got was a 15-21 inscriptable tattoo which I know use for my monk.
But it says they drop in those areas with corsairs so it does make sense that it would drop there.
