Agreed. I hate how the newer shields are held sideways now. Maybe the other weapons'll be cool.

A guy was trading a celestial compass in kamadan, it had an interesting animation o.O

Wouldn't tell me where he got it though.

Regarding earlier poster on size of the diamond aegis... I think it looks and is the perfect size to be used as an atheletic cup supporter.

Personally i prefer smaller weapons. Diamond aegis is a great skin on a female paragon anyway.

Yes, "schlangen" is snake, and "spalter" is implies split or splitter. (It also refers to a kind of split-hair brush, used in art/painting.)

Haha, I agree to that. I didn't want to get that feeling of "I'm wielding a Big-Ass Sword and an Athletic Cup!". A shield should protect a body... and not an arm only.

Which is why I'm disappoined with the size of the Demonic Aegis. I was expecting (maybe I expect too much?) something big... but nope. Barely bigger than the Diamond Aegis skin and reskins. Maybe in the end it'll look good with my main but... yeah... small.

All I can hope is that the Dragon Aegis or whatever it's gonna be called, will be fairly big.

And, for me, that it's held upright. The concept art for the Demonic is gorgeous, but the size in-game doesn't do it justice.

Hah, don't even get me started on Silver Eagle and Primeval War armor! Shield clippin' fer deh win.

Also note that Paras hold shields differently than Wars. So I'm crossing my fingers more here.

So is it a green, or is that just how the guy modded it?

I can't get in game right now to start looking.

Guy was pretty set on 100k +40e for the compass

Would appear, stat wise, that its green but I neglected to ask that. If I see anyone else selling I'll ask.

What were the stats on the one you saw davicams?

Looks like its Serpentine Reaver, just saw one up for sale in kamadan.

And seller says its in Vabbi somewhere.

Add: why am i not surprised, found another compass seller and he wouldnt step out of town for screenshots or share where it was found, not even a region for it :/

hope this makes it obvious to most that these items are not rare. Dont be fooled and pay 100k+ for these items in the high end forum or in a town to be the first. In a week or 2 they will drop in price!

Of the 2 that i've seen sold both were mes and the other mentioned here was too, so sadly looks like its only illusion. sucks but it its realy a great looking item, i think we'll all get over the req and use it. especially if we can customize the mods.

Working on getting equipped shots but no ones willing. They all want to sell asap and get 100k+ before the location is leaked and everyones farming it seems.

Add: Another seller and another confirmation, Reaver is gold and found in vabbi. Happy hunting if its one you like.

I'm guessing people are getting things mostly from chests, considering how fast the items are coming up.

Sorry but how aren't these rare i don't see them streaming from places there are very few in game so they are rare as far as this is considered.

ok my bad, they were rare the first half hour they were released but now after a day they will no longer rare. Notice how I said wait a few weeks to buy cause they will drop in price. Since they drop quite often (obviously) there will not be a shortage of them in game.
