I want some of those items! Now!!!!

And about the chances of getting them, I bet they're going to be fairly low if it's like IDS where you kill regular monsters to get. If it's a boss item (for old Tyria bosses), it might be higher than 2%, but who knows.

I expect there'll be a big thread about these weapons when people find out where they drop.

I want that focus, it looks nice in the design; in-game will probably be different.

I'm waiting for the drop updates guys

As much as I love some of those spear designs, the game versions will have to be extremely nice indeed to lure me away from my beloved Draconic Spear. You wouldn't believe how many people compliment me on my "staff", even though I'm packing a giant shield in the other hand!

I hope that the odds of finding them are quite small, id like them to stay rare for at least a while. i dont mind not having one if it means there will be a bit of variety in the market.

I really hope they drop from enemies instead of the zaishen chest. That chest is literally full of crap.

Maybe the could vamp up the old prophecies bosses and let them have a green weapon drop ---nah.

they need to put them into the end chests in The Deep or Urgoz. They need a much needed revival.

That. Would. Be. Awesome.

I love going into the Deep and Urgoz (moreso Deep...even though I'm Kurzick lol) and would love to see different weapons drop than the ones we've been getting.

I'm looking forward to that dragon shield thingy-and maybe the dragon looking spear one.

I would really hope that they drop from enemies, and make them rare, but not so -rare-that-no-one-can-afford-them types.

I hope you're not talking about the Glacial Blade, which is already ingame...by way of the GWEN Preorder, so you can't get it anymore....

Anyway, I would prefer if these weapons weren't green.....that just kind of ruins it, you know?

From the sound of it, they could be anywhere....I'm going to guess what/where will drop what.

Dragon Shield - Tough one...bone dragons? Or somewhere crystal desert?
Eagle Axe - Norn area, most likely
Celestial Compass - If they keep the name like that, then Nahpui Quarter, I think
Demon Shield - Realm of Torment. It has to be. Hopefully they won't put it in DoA....
Sun-like Spear - Not sure...Istan?
Green Sword - Looks Stone-Summitish to me. Maybe SF or Slavers or other dungeons with Stone Summit.

Only care for the celestial compass, that jade looking sword, and that bow. Then again, this will be a great chance to make some cash if I get lucky.
