Most memorable for me has to be my first gold drop.

Playing with my first char, ranger, in D'Lessio Seaboard mission. It was a req.8 15-27dmg longbow, damage mod vs hexed(can't remember value) of Deathbane +19%. I didn't care it wasn't max damage I just enjoyed using it to destroy all the undead that crossed my path in Kryta. It was the right drop in the right place.

I kept hold of that bow for so long I was using it in my first Barrage Pet run in Tombs, even with the useless mods for what I was doing.

When Nightfall was fairly new I got a gold, req 9 Sephis Axe from a chest in the Desolation. I foolishly sold it for 40k not realising it was actually worth around 400k. I still get annoyed when I see the screenshot I took of it.

My best was back in September 05, I was in the Fissure of Woe running around doing quests with guild mates, (yes we actually did quests back then lol, it was all new ) It was one of the first golds that ever dropped for my ranger.

It was a Gold, Req 8, 15% while above 50% Health, 15-28 Shadow bow with 10/10 sundering! (back then 10/10 was max for sundering lol) I quickly put a +30hp mod on it, and upgraded to 20/20 when the change happened. I've been using it ever since

I know I'll never sell it, yet I'll never customise it either, don't know why lol

I have ID'd a lot of golds but my problem is that I have no clue if something is worth a lot of gold or not. I just sell all my gold to the merchant. I could have sold something that was really worth a lot and I would never know it.

I think my most memorable would have to say my first Ecto. I only have 4 and have gotten them all by my self They are just sitting in my storage doing nothing at all.

I am also always please to see a green drop. But I have to say that when I finally completed my Legendary Skill Hunter Title I thought back and realized that out of all the countless bosses I had killed to get their Elite Skill that NONE of them ever dropped their green for me. The only way I ever got a green was by actively farming the boss over and over until it gave it up.

Got my first "expensive" drop ever the week before the dragon festival this year: superior vigor rune. Sold it for 10k and used the 10k to buy more festival tickets. It was nice that I was looking for money to buy tickets with and while doing that I finally got a drop worth a decent amount of money and I didn't even have to stand around for hours trying to sell it. Bonus.

My most memorable drops actually came together, I was solo farming the beach and cave with my warrior and a dryder droped a req 8 chaos axe which ID as 15^50 cruel +29hp. I opened a chest halfway through the cave on the same run and got a shadow sheild req 9 -3 hex +30...Best run Ive ever had, 3 shards too (back when they were worth having)

My 2 most memorable drops, and probaly my most valueable ones:

Q10 Dead sword out of a ancient elonian chest when NF just came out, sold that for 100k +12E (when ecto's were about 7k)

and my Q9 Strenght Inscribable Magmas Shield, that even got me halfway getting my first set of FoW (which I have now ^^)

p.s: sorry for the 2nd post, but GWG wouldn't let me edit my other post :S

Lol this thread to sooo D2.

I don't get real pumped about drops in GW, so I really had to think. Prolly the first Sup Absorb when they were near 100k or the first IDS on windersday 2005.

Hmm I'm not so lucky but I had to take screenshot when one boss dropped 1*white + UW+FoW Scrolls + Rare Req.9 Earth Scroll for me...

I have had some greens with henchmen while exploring (bonus).

And once black dye dropped in UW in first stairs while fighting Aataxes. Bonus in this was that I was able to get it before our crappy PUG died

I was exploring Mineral Springs for the first time when the Icy Dragon Swords began to drop; was kickin' around with henchmen, snagged a perfect one, still have it in storage somewhere.

Went to cap Avatar of Grenth my first time through Nightfall; boss dropped Grenth's Grasp as well, used that to beat the crap out of many a Morganite and daemond through the rest of the campaign.

-1st: req8 15^50 storm bow. IT was long time ago before Factions. It dropped from a chest in Tomb that quickly earned me over 600K. I was a very poor guy who never had more than 10K so you should know how happy and shocked I was.
-2nd: Req8 Chaos axe req8 15^50. It dropped from a chest near Wailing Lord in FOW. 100K+25e was how much I got from the axe when ectoes were still like 8-9K each
-3rd: req9 inscribable Magmas Shield which dropped from a Earth titan in Domain of Fear. The shield earned me 100K+100e which was the most valuable item I have found

My most memorable drops? Probably the 395 gold, 11 wood planks and 6 Iron Ingots I ended up with on my first Vermin run when loot scaling was introduced. I don't visit Shreader much anymore.

Ok my most memorable was when I sold an unid req 10 fellblade 15^50 +7 vs phys and 20/20 sunder for 12k... which was prob worth at least 100k+ back in the day. I was shocked that it came out that way after I asked him to show me what he found, maybe it was a dupe but I doubt it. My memerable because it came out of a troll when I was farming the cave... I don't really mind losing so much of a profit, I'm just glad I got a drop like that... that's just how I am =)

Two gold stormbows from the same mob of smite crawlers in a 55/SS run of UW, sometime before Nightfall came out. One was a req 13 which I gave to someone else, the other is a req 8 I still carry around today.

A req 8 15^50 Shadow Bow that dropped from a Shadow Ranger in FoW at 3 or 4 AM September 2005. We had finished our Forgemaster run for a guildmate, and wanted to call it quits. I just wanted to kill that one last mob for the heck of it. Still using that bow as my primary weapon

Last night I had a half decent one drop for me, Req 9 Dead sword 20/19 and +29 and 15^50... So close I thought, hehehehe...

My first ecto is prolly my most memorable, it dropped from the first smite group in the cave, I spammed guild chat like mad when that happened!!!

Best drop for me would be either the req8 15^50 Oni blade from a chest in rasu palace or the 2sup vigors I got in one run while farming ettins, back in the days when vigors where actually worth something.

It was actually a friend's drop. It was their first ecto and I could hear their squeal of happiness through my husband's headset (he sits about 6 feet away from me).

Factions drops have always been good to me, but when I started playing Urgoz I had a pretty memorable one. It wasn't really 1 drop, but 2 within one minute of eachother. I picked up a req 9, 15^50 Zodiac axe from a kill and the chest we opened after that battle gave me a req 9, 15^50 Zodiac longbow. This was back in the day these weapons were worth serious cash. My ranger is using the bow to this day, and gave the axe to a guildie who insisted to pay me 100k for it.

For me, it was a Req. 10 Elemental Sword that dropped from a Graven Monolith. This was when pretty much everyone was saying they could only be found in chests. My son was in the room with me and thought I was joking because of how I reacted - I almost never get excited about anything like a drop in a game.

I was on a green run in the furnace when I killed a dwarf in front of a chest. He dropped Gold Superior Vigor Rune Armor which I salvaged and the chest next to him dropped a Gold Superior Vigor Rune Armor as well.
