The ones already found can't be dyed. I'd assume neither can the rest of them.

They are also all dropping inscribable, so most of Tyria and Cantha is out.

No word on location, I have to say though that the Emerald Blade I really like. It's very true to the concept art. I put the pics on the first page of this thread if you want to check that out.

From the looks of it these only drop inscribable, so they'd be limited to areas that areas drop inscribables.

Maybe someone can help, does anyone have a better pic of the Draconic shield? The only one I can see floating around and on both wiki's is the sun glare one that hides half the shield. I'd really like to see a good pic as I think this one might look rather good but can't tell. Thanks!

For the first time since Prophecies, the Art Team has put something into the game that has truly wowed me. My hat goes off to them, and the contest winning artists. So, that being said...

Emerald Blade and Draconic Shield.

Where do I get them, how much time do I have to spend there, and which of you lucky posters is going to keep me company?

if the amethysts were emeralds (or dyable) that would be pretty sweet with the emerald blade. I'm really liking both though

I disagree. I like the fact that it's not handed to you, that you have to search and try to get these new items by trial and error. In the early days of MMO's people had to map out dungeons by hand, keep stacks of papers with skill combinations and develop their own damage calculators. The locations of these items only remain a mystery for a few days tops. Certainly we can all try to have a bit of fun and track them down. Next week the locations will be plastered across every website.

For some hardcore gamers it will be one of the last chances to get weapons that everybody wants for a lot of gold. Offcourse they won't reveal their farmspots.

I've just cleared FoW with my brother and we got nothing but Onyx Stones, Shards and keys! What a treasure chest!

Truely amazing... i love these skins. Anet, though sometimes your artistic skill may have been questioned sometimes... i now believe you have avoided the inevitable mantrain that would've taken you if you failed us.

Btw, if anyone fancies meeting up and searching for these weps, then contact me ingame:

Anet didn't make all of those items. Most of them are, in fact, from design-a-weapon. A.Net just implemented them into the game.

Takes skill to get it from a simple artwork to a computer screen without hugely fuxing it up.

I think he knew that. The point is, you know, Anet has ruined so many good designs in the past. They seemed to be careful about that this time around and it shows.

I think that only A.Net is able to screw up importing simple weapons into a game... Take a look at Oblivion - unqualified 3d animators know how to covert a project into a texture + mesh.

But true, they did screw up many other things. Go go wintersday headgears...

Well this sucks really, cause now I have to go PvE, lol

I've never givin a shit about skins, I use a handful of collecter stuffs and random drops, never bought any weapons cause I could careless.

The The Draconic Defender and the Obsidian Blade, WHOA, must have them. Too bad my only PvE guy is a Ranger though, but I'll come up with some kinda build to run them on

Someone needs to make a list someplace of whos actually going hunting for these or not, so we can whisp them + at least party along, since more human heads nailed together thinks better

Wow, this update is inadvertantly cause us to PuG?

I've chest run the heck out of gyala hatchery, to no avail on anything. Tried a bit in Asura lands (Alcazia, Arbor, Sparkfly), also nothing. 10 Zaishen Keys, also nothing. Only thing I've found so far was the reaver in vabbi. Great for Treasure Hunter tho. LoL.

The zaishen chest drops all of them, I got a huge when I came to Isle of the Nameless to check it out.

With the Obsidian Blade and Eternal Blade native to FoW and UW clears, maybe there is something at the end of the deep and urgoz (probably that concept bow and the emerald blade). Demonic shields probably drop from chests in DoA and Margonite chests, we know the Serpentine randomly drops in vabbi. There is also a chance that the emerald edge drops in Slaver's like the voltaic spear. This is speculation, but I think you all should be looking at high end areas. Strange that the celestial compass drops from chests in dalada uplands.

Too bad I can't go to most of these places because I played mesmer Other than that, theres no way in hell I'm clearing the deep for a 2% chance to get a blade out of that end chest.

On top of that ToA is flooded with groups that will pug with nothing else other than Ursan for a quick clear. The state of the game is rather crappy for a non Warrior or Monk class, especially so without Ursan; it's freaking impossible to pug anything high-end without it. Might not be worth coming back for the new items, especially if you play an unwanted class.

Nice weps to look at, but back to Guilty Gear Accent Core for me.

I guess you just added the ones that you finished, and you're still working on the rest of them. Or at least I hope so. Good job!

I'd have to agree. I'm settin up a group to run thru FoW, and probably the Deep tonight. It does seem as though they're end chest drops in most cases. As far as the reaver/compass goes, its kinda like the greens that drop from regular enemies (i.e. Icebreaker, Totem Axe, etc). Probably added those in to appease the normal masses, then the rest for 1337er players.
