They're not that rare. The main issue is not many people do FoW anymore. Back in the old days that axe would fetch 1mill+ with ease. It's a shame they dropped to the 100+20 mark. Never much cared for the skin, but it brings back good memories.

Go HM. He craps that out regularly.

For me, Everthorn's Split Chakrams. Killed that bastard over a hundred times, and nothing.

think the rarest drop i ever saw was a req8 dwarven axe unconditional +15% that i customized and used the hell out of until lag made me sell it to the merchant one day.

other than that im gonna go with rarest item being ectos outside of uw/fow/tombs. because i too have seen them drop in the black curtain. over 2 and a half years ago.

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

A unicorn flew in and stole my unconditionals and a req6 16-23 sword...

As for the rarest drops from foes, I don't know about req7 and req8 items because A) nobody seems to have seen a non-inscribable req7/8 drop in months (AFAIK) and B) they can probably no longer be considered 'drops'. The algorithim seems to have changed concerning requirements.

Gold Crystallines never dropped from mobs. They only drop from the HoH chest, and the Z-chest. Purples can be gotten from certain chests, but they also do not drop from mobs.

What about all those Ursan Groups farming FoW on HM?

That said, I once had a drop of a req 8 15^50 Shadow Bow 2 years ago, but haven't seen another one drop for anyone in my party since.

I thought the same thing but just got a nice r8 insc 16ac shield last night, too bad it was purple


The best item I have found is an r3 +10 energy healing ankh, both inscriptable and it holds a core upgrade. I know it is short of max +en, but I bet you havent seen anything that good for 3req. I still have it and always will, besides nobody would ever buy it because it dropped as a blue.... meh

Rarest item as a *drop*? Easy. Iron Ingot. Supposedly, only Mallyx can drop one, and how often do you suppose he does?

Proof or that didnt happen, i have ONE iron ingot in my storage, ive no idea how it got there and i havent bought any armour requiring iron and ive cleared out mat storage plently of time since the last time i killed mallyx. Only next reasonable idea would be it was dropped for me. Or aliens (Just a note, i dont salvage anything other than insignias, runes and mods)

Take your pick

rarest item, a req8 gold from a non HM monster

I would have to say the rarest drop I ever seen at the time was an old req10 6-26 Tyrian sickle that was blue with a 12^50 mod on it. I remember selling that to get my monk's and ranger's first FoW armors back in late 05.

now a days, rare things are being overfarmed, so its not too rare to see a totally uniqure rare drop anymore.

i agree with the crystalline drops from creatures. however ive never seen one that wasnt white and so far from max it wasnt a joke. im pretty sure they usually salvage about 8 dust too.

And I've always though those req.7 and/or nonmax Crystallines came from those Dreadnought's Drift strongboxes...
A crystalline dropping from a mob - that would be more rare than getting a gold max tyrian/canthan req8 (or req7 if before NF) focus with 2 specific perfect mods from different professions, for example 20%HSR Blood Magic + 20%HCT Healing Prayers.

See this is what I always thought, but the post with the near max req7 proves otherwise. Not a photoshop, as the said member is well respected.

I'm pretty sure those were droppable in Crystal Desert during the first weeks of the game.

There were the old chests and stashes before keys. I thought those could drop anything too.
