She did farm them? And in my last post I had nothing against Lady S Shiva, but I found it very unlikely that there would be such a spot to farm them, and the only other way of obtaining that many was as I mentioned. well I guess I came to my conclusion a little too quickly, and I'll look into it. But from my dealings, the people who sell more than 2-3 colossals in their GW life time are very luck Ha'ers/Chest runners, or more typically people who spam chat looking for them cheap in game.

If these are not HoH only drops then it's gotta be the challenge mission. I'm going to experiment with some builds tonight for that area.
Slabby
I gave up farming myself one and bought a req.13 max one.
The guy I bought it from said it was a drop from HoH, maybe you can farm that place

how u ment to farm hoh <_< let alone get in a group
Lady S Shiva
to shru: to become a merch u need to farm stuff for sell first, prove me wrong if u had 10k chest open and still broke. i do trade a lot which gives me little knowledge about price, but if u passed a deal like "gold max r9 ele sword for 100k", don't blame me for taking it. and on this char, i had 3 ele sword (r12-sold on guru when NF just came out, r11-selling on high end, r9-holding for myself, not the one i'm selling on high end) and 2 colossal (r11 selling on high end, a r9 no inscription slot which i trashed right the way-now i know how much it still worth), the other r10 colossal i'm selling for a friend who got lucky in HoH-where i hardly go after reach rank 3, so can't tell u the drop rate. but for 4200 chest only 5 drops, u tell me how rare they are, so don't cry to me about 10 hour farming no drops, or did i lie to u and stuff like that. my acc has 25 mil worth item and cash in it, might not be much to some ppl(like those beta players with tons of ecto in their storage), but i worked hard on every gil, so i don't give a damn about what u think.

Shiva rant in a pm we want collosal scimitar farming builds here...

Lady Shiva, I mean no insult to you, and I accused you of nothing, I just simply stated that people obtaining large amounts of these swords within a week usually don't get them as drops themselves. Yet, It seems again I have jumped to a few conclusions on what little (and faulty) information I've found in this thread. I think of farming and chest running as different catagories, so when I heard that you farmed two, I assumed you actualy farmed two. I myself have never tried farming for colossal swords, but I have run over a thousand chests and your results seem correct. I have recieved 2 deadswords, and even though they are not expensive anymore because of actual farming, they were one of the rare sword drops. My friends agree to my findings having also obtained one of these rarer items every 500 chests or so. Of course this isn't exact, but it's just something I noticed.
To sum it up for anyone not willing to read: anyone looking for these swords, HoH and chest running is your best bet.

Glad Mrs Shiva finally stepped up and put an end to all this madness!
Lady S Shiva
well, who told u i farmed them within a week ^_^, i usually start selling stuff when i got tired of them.

just to let everyone know, I just got a r11 gold colossal scim doing dajkah inlet challenge mission
edit: it's inscribable max, and I got it in a full hench/hero team just trying to spiff up some heroe's armor, looks like I got kinda lucky
look for this in high end =)

Carinae
What round of Dajkah? First round? Dropped from who? a Commander, a GL, and Weaponmaster?
VitisVinifera
it was the third round, from some regular corsair (I think an archer because he was kind of far away). If you head left to the first guild lord, it was his pack, one of the archers very close to him up above.
for the record I also got 2 armors =)
here's the sell link:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=10135664
I only posted it 2 hrs ago and the bidding is going furiously, guess people want these?
I'm starting to see that getting this drop while NOT farming them, full hero/hench is a pretty lucky event

Colossal Scimitar, req 11, max, goes for about 600-900k (According to this thread), so 600-900k should give you a good impression on how much you're gonna make on it, and it might come in handy to set a b/o..
More on topic, I actually also heard 1 person had a CS drops from a Vabbi chest. Not sure if that is 100% accurate + it was quite a while ago.
About the Dajkah Inlet Mission;
I've tried with some of my characters who have access to the mission (Warrior, Monk, Necro & Dervish) with some common farming builds but no luck so far.. Maybe a duo run would do it?
Either way it seems Dajkah Inlet is the way to go

If you want my two cents, me and my guildie just started doing this dajkah mission today, and we are collecting our stolen armors, they are selling an average 5k a piece, and we net 2-3 per 15 minutes, good profit, save em up, go with heroes henchies, clean up the place, and you still have chance for a godly item. thats about 40k/hour...better than most of these farming builds can pull off these days.....

Except for the fact that the drop rate for stolen armors goes to the crapper after you receive 3-4 of them. Guild Wiki FTW

When I did Dajkah mission when I first got there (just after release) I got 4 armours and then didnt get another set at all on my war.
Went there yesterday on my war to see if I could get lucky with a collossal did 2 runs and got 4 armours! So maybe it's similar to the keyless chests and it resets after a time.
Didn't get a sword though

good god, do you people see what these are going for? Mine, r11, is at 100k + 100 ectos after a day and a half listed. People are going b/o on r10s at 100k + 155 ectos. I can only imagine r9s.
Why the hell are people paying so much for these? It's pretty cool looking, definitely big, is the drop rate on these insanely low? Or the fact (if it is indeed so) that there's no way to farm these? I'm at a loss here.......
I can't remember the last time I've seen a pricing guide significanly UNDERestimate a skin's price.

People are idiots....Just leave it at that.
Get rich quick while you can because eventually the "prime spot" for these will go public and they will be selling for 1/10 the price...
Unless they are truely HoH only drops or super rare DoA drops or whatever...

Ok ok ok,
I read this tread for a month or something now and its funny how you people think about those collosal scimitars.
WELL I CAN TELL YOU I KNOW 1 PLACE IN THIS TREAD WICH I CAN CONFIRM.
That place is MODDOK CRESIVE (MISSION). A corsair (dont remember what kind of) dropped a req11 inscribable for me there
.
But it was in the first week of the release of nightfall. I didnt know the value of it and sold it for 60k (looooooooooooooooooool) to someone.
Hey, but now you guys have a confirmation that it drops in moddok cresive mission

First of all, JimmyDean, you should really read the rest of a forum before you judge someones post like that.
Anyways, to actually pertain to the topic, i think that Witte's warrior "solo" build, where he runs a hero bonder out of range and the slaughters everything, might work here. I'm not at home, so I havent been able to test it, but if it can full groups of lvl 28 kournans, I dont see why it wouldn't be able to handle lvl 20 corsairs. Just a thought though.

The Inlet challenge mission has loads of enchantment removal (you are talking about that, right?). So Barrier/Bond is out of the question.
I'd say the best bet is a 600hp build with smiter...add in QZ for a 100% up Spellbreaker. There are lots of conditions being spammed on you too so a Mo/D would be nice to counter that with Mystic Regeneration. Looking at the level 20 corsairs skills you're goint to be poisoned, burning, and bleeding pretty much constantly.
I planned on doing some test builds but time has not allowed. I'll get back to this post when I do...

The mission is ALMOST soloable with an earth elementalist, but I couldn't overcome all of the degeneration, even spamming mending touch with healing breeze and mending up. Im sure that an earth ele and a monk could do it, though.

I have tried this a week ago, but the problem is with a W/D and hero bonder, you get crippled all the time (so you are slow as hell), you have to kill the doctor first but he keeps running away. I think it's best to go as a E/A with SF, or something like a N/... with SS or Feast of Corruption... I havn't tried yet, I was to bussy with my other build for UW.
So if some tries this and it works, let me know

Sorry but I think Id prefer a purple r13 max dmg machete to something that costs a 100 ectos xD Its extremely rare sure, but a skin that doesn't even look that great just isn't worth it IMO.

yeah, you're the practical kind, but there are also those who love farming and dont have better things to do with their money than buy and find all the rare and good looking stuff, and gold looks much prettier than purple, even if it's just in the inventory
now back on topic, so I guess both mordok and inlet have a small chance of dropping these heh? maybe barbrous shore as well?
but hell, farming for these is a pain in the ass as they're so unlikely to drop...

If your read wiki, more chance of getting one is the challenge mission

You guys seem to be forgeting some things, for one, the Farming Flags that dramaticlly effect your drops, E.G. I soloed the first 18 Stygian Hungers and got no drops, this was about my 10th run. Also if you really want a CS you are gonna have to be a pretty dedicated player, for me, Moddok will be ok because they drop there, maybe not as common as other places but still, they drop I'll tell you if i get one hehe.
I'll tell you if i get one hehe.

And the response was "I'm a big gw millionare and I dont care." Surely someone with over 25 mil in items and gold wouldnt care to help out people who are much much less fortunate..... But I guess thats just to hard to do....
so I'll just leave it at that, I dont want to start a flame war... but if it helps to bring some light to the subject * take note that she didnt say in the actual words of the quote, but it was very dismissive and portated a point that came across as that one.
As to the other people Ty for the helpful information, I can farm the first lvl of the challenge mission... but i'm doubting they'll drop in the first place.
And as for moddok... which corsairs dropped it the high lvl 21+'s or the lvl 17 corsairs in the very beginning?

Funny seeing myself being quoted on a thread I never posted on before.
I found my second colossal just recently (req 12, alas), also in a Barbarous Shore chest. I've tried solo builds and in the end I gave up, Corsairs have way too many annoying running casters. Here's what I do now:
Simple and easy 4 man power slaughter; either me and one or two guildies or just me and a full complement of heroes. We (I) can clean out every last corsair in about 20 minutes and there's usually one and sometimes as many as four Kournan chests spawning near Corsair groups. That's where the candy is. (Don't bother with chests NOT near a corsair group, they won't drop anything worthwhile.)
There's usually no great profit on any individual run, though when you do hit it, it makes up for a lot of poor runs. There are plenty of Rune/Insignia drops and once in a while a green or 2, to make this a small money maker anyway.
I'm doing at least one run every time I play, but never more than 3 in a row. I've been going at this for months, collecting Preserved Iris Flowers as mementos to count the runs. I'm up to 62.

Isn't that a pretty good rate? 2/62 runs?
Gli
It would be, except I probably ran the place quite a bit more often than that. I didn't think of collecting flowers right away, and sometimes I forget about the getting the flower altogether. It might be closer to 2/100.

I posted on this topic a while ago about doing Shagu Anthem runs in barbarous shore. Glad to see that CS's actually drop there, i've opened about 50 corsairs chests and didn't get any though, but farmed about 15 Shagus and got a tatooed from a chest though.
About the Shagu run, I use the usual 8 man hero/hench flag away at bosstrick. Paragon bosses are really easy to solo (him and Wandalz refuge are great greens to farm). I use a basic Monk/Necro spoil victor to solo Shagu, but a dervish with Avatar balthazar and mystic regen can make short work of him also. The run has anywhere from 1-3 corsair chests, sometimes one next to Shagu himself and takes less than 10 mins to do I think. Even if you don't net that rare CS, you can still get a tatooed scimitar from chest or Shagu's,so decent run.

well there is a really low dmg one in high end at the moment (13-18dmg) so i guess this must have dropped from the starter island....like zehlon reach or lahtenda bog....
