The Obsidian Blade and Emerald Blade are gorgeous.

I do believe I would like to own both of them.

Ok so here we come. I'm gonna do the full FoW run / searching for new items in aproximately 3 hours, so anyone interested in it sign up here (or add me IGN and pm when i come online). Would be nice if we can get a member who knows what to do (i havent done it before in one piece ).

edit : argh, due to lack of a time i have to postpone this thing... I'll inform you when i'm gonna do it, but i will do it :P

I would have done a few different things with this shield but it is very nice. First thing is I would have made the background color of the shield DIFFERENT then that of the dragons, to make them stand out. Second thing is to make the color of the gems on it lighter, to compliment the colors of the shield, they seem a bit bold and out of blace ATM

But it is very nice and very BIG, and by BIG i mean Tall AND Wide

I personally think the obisidian looks ugly. It just isn't as interesting as some of the other skins.

Wow that draconic shield looks very nice! I'm still curious about the compass, does it have some sort of animation?

I'm curious about the draconic shield-how well does it dye if it even does dye?

And has anyone found one that's either motivation or command?

The Draconic Shield,Demonic Aegis and Emerald Blade looks awesome and give me hope for the bow. However i dont think they added the bow in this batch...

Someone might have already mentioned this, but guildwiki is updated on the Draconic Shield saying it dropped from a locked chest in Dalada Uplands.

BTW someone should update for a better pic on there

Why do they always make nice skinned weapons so small? Nice rare skins should always be big if you ask me. The Obsidian and Emerald are both nice, but seem mid sized, or rather small.

I also have opened over 50 chest in NM, and some in HM... still nothing. I been doin chest runs in Mirror of Lyss mostly, some in Hidden City, and a few in Dalada Uplands.

I am hoping that some can be farmed also, instead of just chest. I also think Zaishen Chest ruins the rarity, and especially prices of weapons.... those who got more money then they could spend go and buy 250+ keys and use them all.

Ya, let's make them drop from some stupid dungeon end chest that anyone can do with h/h so everyone and their dog have one of each in a couple of weeks. *end sarcasm.

Seriously, leave something in the game that the players have to put some effort into getting, not just some item that drops at a low rate. But something that involves skill and patience to get. Make them Hard Mode drops only, and from Elite Missions/Areas that are nortoriously hard and long. Let the community work for something for a change instead of grinding the same dungeon over and over again hoping to get lucky.

Better yet, make them ridiculously hard to get, and untradeable.

Then you'll know for sure someone worked hard to get them rather than just dropping 40 bucks on a gold seller.

if i read it wrong just ignore me :P



edit- while im posting... I see the pic of the Obsi blade...

Now.. I dont like fow armor... but I can see them going very well together on a warrior if thats the look you want to go for. I wonder what other shields will drop if any? Obsidian Shield??

I have no problem with that, at least that way, people who want them would do so to show off not to sell them for 100k+xxx ectos.

Kinda disipointed a little. Was kinda hoping that the faction bosses that do not drop greens would get some of these as their greens. To be totaly honest I prefer greens over golds because I can find skins I like with stats I like for a relitivly cheaper price then the same thing only gold.

I would have made the Draconic Shields drop from Drakes or from Dragon's Lair but as far as I know they'd have to re-write the drop code for prophecies to allow item drops to have inscriptions.

Dragon's Lair and Drakes would seem appropriate, that or those flying Lightning toucher dragons from the Jade Sea or from Kuunavang.

But would they not have to do the same thing if added to any campaign?

End POP UP Chest after glint would be cool

I'm not sure how keeping them in the Zchest proves someone has worked 'hard' for them. What's so dang hard about spending 100k on keys? O_O

Anyone get a feeling that the locations are just going to be kept quiet by those who have found them (thus sending the rest of us on a wild goose chase -- or to Dalada Uplands >_<), to benefit themselves only? I mean, rarity issues aside, all anyone cares about is how many ectos they can get on the end of that 100k+ sale price...

Morgoth, count me in if/when you do that FoW run- I'm not optimistic enough to think that I'll get one of these beauts, but it's a fun area to group in, and I need to work on gathering more shards <-- IGN over on the left

You're contradicting yourself >.> If an item drops from only one elite mission/area/dungeon, of course people are going to grind it over and over again hoping to get lucky.

True but i don't think it will take long before everyone knows where they drop.

It seems there's not been any monster drops yet which is a bit disappointing. Besides the vabbi chests, you have to use fricking lockpicks in GW:EN which are not cheap at 1.5k.

Yeah, the locations of these should become apparent soon. Really no good reason for people to hide them other than greed and stupidity. I myself got a req 11 Serpentine Reaver after running 41 Vabbian chests in the Mirror but I am sure the location of the reaver is known due to the sheer number of them already on the market.

That frog scepter looks sick.

I think it should talk to you also, much like the renown from of our fair game. Or at least you character should get warts on its hand from wielding it
