"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

Requirement Begins With R [notQ]

It's fake. The 'T' on Tribal is sans-serif whereas GW font is has the little extra bitties.

wow...okay didnt see that coming. i didnt post here to be attacked, i posted to show the creator of the thread that max tribals do drop. as for the supposed fake font or w/e. thats how my screen came out, and why would just one letter have a different font? im not here to impress or convince

Edit:i decided to take my screen off. Guildmaster Cain, if you decide to think my screens fake pm me in game and ill be happy to show you i posted the pic to show YOU that they drop, not to be hassled by members.

Nobody's condemning or attacking anyone. Unless some posts were deleted. Only a guilty conscious would feel 'attacked' by the recent non-critical comments.

Well, I do not believe you would get upset because the picture was fake and someone exposed u for it. So it is probably genuine.

If you still have it, can you show it ingame to me, so I can post a pic?

Anyway, my ingame font changes when I press the right alt (or ctrl?), and all the text changes to japanese, lol. So dont know what happened to your screenshot text, but strange things happen I agree.

But I'm off for the night, hope to see someone posting a confirmed max gold drop location soon. So far it has only been 3 days... apparently Tribals arent that rare (sarcasm grin).

wow, thats unlikely place to drop. Hmm the 'T' on Thought Stealer does look a bit strange... :P

I guess they updated the locations a bit, or maybe it always dropped. Was this in HM or NM? If it was NM then maxed Tribals were perhaps always available in Urgoz..

So far 500.000 xp and lots of Skalefin Soup richer... but no Tribal dropped.

I think there have been numerous reports from different sources that said rares do exist. But apparently they are very rare.

So far I have farmed Skales A LOT and havent even seen one Tribal Axe.

Anybody any more ideas where one could drop? Preferably in Elona, since those are inscribable. Another place I heard is Ice Tooth Cave in Shiverpeaks, from the Minotaurs, but as said above, those are not inscribable.

So why do none of the 'many and widely' dropped Tribals reach the selling sections?

'Drop crazy' appears to be exagerated.

I made just 2 runs on Anvil's Rock:

2 non elite warrior tomes

2 blue non max sickles with crappy inherent

1 blue no max tribal axe (higly salvageable.... -.-)

Loads of mino horns and hides



Only Lockpicked chests dropped golds for me, maybe there's a "very poor" chance of tribalz...maybe...

Still no Tribals, not even low lvl

The places where i farmed all dropped max weapon. However, only tribal axe is 6-27(Highest I ever get) *3 of them*

Even 6-27 with dmg mods are rare. Most of them are just clean axe with no inhert mods on it.

Either they are extremely rare or they never existed.

First of all, I'd like to claim it is possible with gold tribal axes. These are ofcourse very rare and i belive nobody has seen one. Still it SHOULD be able to drop, since the fact that all weapons are possible being dropped as gold. All enemies that drops the item should be able to drop white, blue, purple and gold.

And I'd also like to claim max damage ones are dropped. After above 20 runs in The Falls in hard mode, me and my friend have had about 10 blue / white, and one of them were max damage, to bad it was white . So, what i want to tell is:

-There is max damage tribal axes.
-It should be possible to get golden and purple ones.

OK, replying to what above poster said:

-Not all weapons drop in rare varieties.
-Not all weapons drop in white/blue/purple varieties.

Tribal Axes (at least before HM), only dropped from lower level monsters, and they NEVER dropped better then blue. That is a fact. They didnt even drop high damage. EVERY Tribal Axe above 6-20 damage was before HM worth at least 10k. Tribal axes have always been THE RAREST skin for axes, since they didnt drop max damage at all, let alone rare. A near-perfect Tribal is/was rarer then a perfect Crystalline Sword, since these DO drop max and Tribals DIDNT.
Apparently, thanks to HM, these axes DO drop max damage now.

Dead Swords dont drop anything but rare/gold. That is a fact. So why should Tribals drop rare/gold?

So far it has been a week since my first post. If someone claims they drop in surplus, it is been disproven. Max damage Tribals apparently do drop, there is no question about that. But in a week time, nobody has shown a drop of a max damage RARE Tribal. In this time, I have been farming the supposed areas where they are claimed to be dropping. Thusfar, I have not seen any of these seen dropping, wether they are max/nonmax/white/rare. I DID see a lot of other 'rare' drops like Fiery Blade Axes and Dead Swords. Apparently these are LESS RARE then Tribal Axes.

Still only Tribals that have made it to the auctions of this site have been at best max damage white ones for prices up to 50.000 gold.

This all is about the size. they are the biggest axes in-game as far as i know.
whatd'ya think why are fellblades so loved? and colossal scimitars? size...size is what matters. tho i prefer cool looking skin ( sickles, runic axes ftw^^)

Well thats what I say about Crystallines and FoW armor. But I guess its all in the eye of the beholder.

Fellblades aint really the biggest skins for swords, but your point is right. Long Swords and Dead Swords are actually taller, but Fellblades just look really big.
