And if this drops from the UW chest, where is the Chaos Blade from the FoW Chest?

except for the fact you completely fail to realize this sword has been modeled and skinned as well as appeared in the game for the last couple years, where there has never been a chaos blade.

Just like when you seen the Colossal Scimitar on the Ascalon weapons rack, but only got them as drops when NF came out.

The swords were there, just not available.

Are you serious? My guild did sorrows furnace on a regular basis, which is way way easier and much simpler not to screw up, and yet, somehow, the random people we would get to fill out our team would always manage to find "New and exciting ways to fail." If you play with your guild all the time, you would come to the very incorrect assumption that a majority of players know what is going on/will listen to someone who does.

Know of any other weapons seen ingame that aren't available? Wiki should have a list of these if there are more.

Congratulations. You have just, out of nowhere, won this thread.

This sword is teh pimp though. Cleared UW again today with some guildies (tank, warder, 2 nukers, SS, HB HP monk, SoD monk, harass mesmer @ 4 hours, can't do it much faster without hax0rz way I think) and no Eternal Blade

. But I really like the idea of a new ultimate prestige item

More weapons like these need to be introduced so the economy can become revitalized

Very much so. It adds extra incentive to revisit old areas, also.

I'm really happy to see this. After years of playing since release I wondered if they were avaliable. The thing is I don't want one, but its nice to see something from Prophicies making a reappearing.

Like others, I think I will be revisiting UW with a group haha.

Damn, just spent 2+ hours clearing UW. We killed 95% of the mobs, then decided to start the quests.

So, yeah, Unwelcome Guests was first. Started off fine, i s'pose. Then somehow 3 of the Aaxtes got aggro'd on the Reaper. Which was a "eh, dammit" moment. We tasked 1 of our 4 monks on keeping him alive while we killed the other Dryder groups. Well, we did... but then the aaxtes didn't break aggro off the reaper, nor died after we killed their leader dryder. D: It was totally bugged!

Niether are the Juton hammers, or the Destroyer's Sword. Look at a mini pet to see that one. >-< I would assume you can't get the Juton one though because humans aren't normally 16 feet tall.

True, I have been in UW more times that I can count but the only two times I have ever been present when it was fully cleared. Once was with my guild when it was in full force and once when when I was lucky and went with seven others from another guild.

Well, it MIGHT keep value, I mean look at the Voltaic Spear, the price has actually gone up (After the Duncon Exploit was fixed) so it might keep a stable price.

The Aatxes won't drop unless you break aggro with them after killing their Dryder, or if you pull them far enough from their spawn point. Always been that way afaik.

I didn't read through any posts and don't know whether the debate of whether it exists or not has been answered. In any case, it does exist, and here is a pic.

Unwelcome guests should be done only after you clear the reaper of the ice wastes and forgotten vale. That way you can teleport behind the aatxes, clear the dryders in each group, then go after the keeper of souls, killing the vengefuls without even aggroing them.

This quest is totally bugged. It has to be. The mission objective says kill the Keeper and the Aatxes will "follow him into death". Turns out, even after the Keeper of Souls is dead, the Vengeful Aatxes still only seem to die when the player(s) who are in the aatxes' aggro die first. We've been doing UW runs in my guild lately, and we usually have one person draw the Vengeful Aatxes into aggro, then we all run by him/her and kill the Keeper. This doesn't kill the Aatxes, however, We have to ask he/she who aggroed the Aatxes to die or else the Aatxes won't die, at all.

There's NO WAY that quest was designed to be like that. As far as I know, there aren't any other quests in the game that require a player to actually DIE in order to proceed. The questlog would give you instructions to die, if that were the case, and it doesn't:

Maybe my reading comprehension skills are failing me, but to me that seems to instruct me to simply kill the Keeper of Souls and then Vengeful Aatxes die immediately after.

This quest works well enough.

You can either teleport to another Reaper and kill the Keeper of Souls from behind or send in an overprotted tank to kill the Keeper and then get ganked by the Vengeful cows.

Other Elite areas also have situations that require a party member to die in order to overcome troublesome game mechanics. The Deep and The Foundry of Failed Creations come to mind.

Exactaly, my friend. But we were running Ursan Blessing, except the monks who were healing us. But basically, we couldn't continue. Becaise the reaper wouldn't give us quests, or updates on quests because he was being attacked by the Aaxtes. I hope Anet fixes this bug.

For Unwanted Guests:

Take Restore The Monuments Of Grenth first, open up the reapers at the Ice Wastes and Forgotten Veil, teleport around as necessary. You'll then need a bow to pull the closest keeper however the aatxe spawn there is usually random and sometimes you may have to aggro them as well.

My group had that problem if the attaxes are still aggroed then they do not die. The answer is to take off your armor and get your health low as possible the AI will tellthem to attack you and you run the way they cam dfrom they should follow you after a few try then teleport with the reaper to somewhere else. They will die.

Now that is clever.

Too bad it isn't simple enough for a PUG to use. I mean, a paragon requires thought as opposed to c-space-barrage.

can't remember everyone elses build, will have to see if i can get it of them all, was along the lines of 2 moti para's, an expel hexes para with mending refrain, a command para with burning refrain and some cruel spear guys with an orders nec to finnish it off.

I was a moti para running:

Song of restoration
Chorus of restoration
energizing chorus
ballad of restoration
spear of lightning
There's nothing to fear
They're on fire
Signet of Return

Just goes to show paragons > PvE

My para has now completed all 3 campaigns, done DoA and UW with a total of 2 deaths. First from jadoth 2nd from being body blocked in an army of vengeful aatxes after getting a lag spike.
