The best drop for me was along time ago a Sword or Bow i cant remember. This wasnt a normal weapon. In ever my first time I got a 14% unconditional Weapon from Farming and chesting in area. Couldnt believe it and shitty thing I sold it for 10k that when I was a noob. Now I wish kept it could of made 1000e+ ectos on it pft just my luck.

As far as golds, anything with perfect inscriptions in FoW, Urgoz, Deep, or UW, since there are no inscribible things in those areas.

Two words: End chest.

As for me, I'd have to say Ectos from Banshees in FoW.

A max (but purple) Crystalline Sword with decent stats dropped from a random minotaur in Prophet's Path back in summer '05. Noticed the unusual skin and thought that "Crystal Desert, Crystalline Swords - makes sense", and since I didn't have a warrior gave it to my daughter who had one. Only later I learned just how unusual an incident that was

Any foe

Considering Crystallines don't drop from mobs, they're out.

Rarest weapon drop to date is still req7 15^50 Brute sword. As far as I'm aware there is only 2. 1 is customized to Wilderness, the other swaps hands every once in a while.

Beyond that, req7 15^50 hammers are extremely rare, as is req7 axes with perfect dmg mods.

You sure? Damned Cleric is an undead/zombie, and the only creatures dropping ecto are Nightmares (Aatxe/Ravagers), Ghosts (like Smiteys) and a few Spirits and Dryders.

Never seen an undead dropping one. Got a screenie?

I wish. That was several reformats ago. It was too unusual not to remember- may have been one of the phantoms but it was definitely from the Black Curtain. Especially since I then sold it for 100g to the merchant :-p

The rare thing for me that hasn't dropped is that damn Dryad bow.

I'd have to say, Alem's Remedy, for me.

Concerning the statistics though, Black dyes and perfect req 8's are winning atm.

Fixed it for you. Black dyes don't even come close to the rarity of gold and perfect req7 max drops.

First max one was a purple I believe wayyy back in 2006.

Black dyes aren't rare. Raptor farming (HM) can wield anywhere between 1-10 a day if you get lucky.

Anet haven't given a clear enough response to be completely sure. I was going with the over-fed consensus on that last one, perhaps it should be edited again to read: Concerning the statistics though, perfect req 8 inscription items are winning atm.

But let's not get into that...

Regardless, black dyes are common when compared to a rare skinned low req perfect gold, imo.

Agree.

Alem's Remedy + Black dyes for me.

Perfect req 8 inscribable weapons and tyrian/canthan req 7. :P

I didn't say Elona 'cause from what i've seen, all gold drops are inscribable.

You know those Req 8 15^50 non-inscrib. Chaos Axes are pretty hard to come by.
