According to the wiki, all rit green weapons do either Lightning or Dark damage. (Didn't check the Collector's list, am assuming it shows the same.)

My rit went through Factions (and just finished NF this afternoon) using a gold Harmonic Rod (max, 4E^50, req 8!!11!!) that does Earth damage.

Talking with other people, I gather this item is kind of unusual and was just wondering if anyone else has encountered something they, too, would consider unusual?

A couple of days ago, just outside Lutgardis, Bazzzr the Mo boss, instead of dropping his Benediction (meh), dropped a focus with +8 armor vs Demons - I'm like, huh?, there're no demons in Factions lol, but ... might come in handy in Torment.

Actually... Oni are demons

Personally, I always thought Tower Shields that boost Divine Favor were pretty kooky.

Wrong. Onis are Demon type creatures.

Onis are demons? Thanks, didn't know that.

Was looking through my inventory and found a rit staff that does cold damage.

Certain rit weapons can deal one of any type of elemental damage.

Probably all the different focus items with +5 energy / -5 energy, and the necro staves with bonuses to divine favor.


My friend found a gold axe in a level 5'ish area with 3 cool bonuses (+30 hp, +15% >50, +33% crippled). He showed it to me, asking if I wanted it. I said nah, you should salvage it and try to sell the components. He salvaged the 33% crippled which destroyed the axe, and was all excited that he 'successfully' salvaged it.

I have opened many many chests. Close to rank 3 treasure hunter, actually...and only my lack of interest at the moment prevents me from getting it. Anyway, I just love requirement 13 blood magic staves that reduce casting time of protection prayers, or perhaps a classic fire wand that halves recharge of air magic.

Sometimes I get shields that give +19 or +20% to attributes a warrior would generally have no use for, like death magic...

I always despise, absolutely despise finding purple armor pieces, because I know that 9 times out of 10, they're worthless. (Although in some instances I have gotten major vigor which serve well to new characters.)

Heavy axe hafts are something I rarely come across...they have a very limited use though, so I tend not to save them. Anyway, nothing too strange found in my travels. Just the standard crap mixed in with a few gems.

-2 energy degen warrior weapons are still to weird imo.

^^jcjsmc - I know that feeling, got my 1st jade sword drop (req 13 but, hey, perfect for Koss), vamp + a perfect swordmanship mod and that was it, no x^50, /enchat, /hexed, vs hexed, nuthin. I coulda cried. (Amazingly enough, I got a 2nd req 13 Jade a couple of weeks later, at least it was 14%/enchant.)

Then there was that req 10 FDS with +20% vs plants. Look out, Whistling Thornbushes!

I found a perfect Smiting (I think it is) staff of Pruning and another perfect Pruning staff for a Mesmer. I still pull those out in places - lovely Weed-Wackers! Both zodiacs, too.

In Pre not that long ago, I found a 3-5 dmg wand with +10/-1 energy on it .

I'm kinda weird in that I'll create a build around a staff like that. My Prot. of Cantha Ele has a "mud" staff (water and earth) that has proven to be a lot of fun to work with. And I had a necro who would have killed for a Blood/Prot (or other monkly att) staff!

A Jitte is a type of sword that has no sharp edges. It was used for training swordsmans me thinks.

Battlepicks also have an axe requirement but do piercing damage like the colossal picks for the hammer line.

My wierdest item:

Tower Shield
Armor 16: (Requires 8 strength)
Recieved physical damage -2 (while in a Stance)
Recieved physical damage -2 (while Enchanted)

Wierd because thoes are both now inscriptions. It dropped before inscriptions were part of the game, so I don't even know if things like that are still possible.
