For now they are rare, simply because they are brand new. In a few days/weeks...they will be as common as all the past weapons that were added to the game

There may be no shortage however i doubt it will be a 5-10k price just because a few people dont like the skin many will and will pay money for them.
for example tormented weapons are no shortage in-game some like the skins so they go for high pries it is a matter of opinion aswell.

they are the price they are because the supply and demand there is of the gems. In case you didnt notice they dropped at least 20-30 ecto per price of armbrace in the past 2 months. They are however still worth a high-end price because they dont drop commonly

With the exception of a very few items...nothing in GW is rare...PERIOD! These new items will be commonplace in a matter of a few days, just like almost every other weapon ingame

I think it's a bit early to be debating the rarity either way. They could have the drop rates of Crystallines, or they could have the drop rate of Raven Staffs- either way, you can't make a good argument with a sample rate from a 3-hour period. Come back in a week when more than two or three have been seen across the entire game

yes so....I can't access wiki because of where I am online at (proxies)
so if the weapons are on wiki or anywhere else, could someone get post a url to take a look at them?

thanks

some guy in a previous post said he already knows of 3 compass's at least existing. Yes that doesnt sound rare but thats all that has been reporting. Even at just 3 being dropped it should prove to you that it does not have the rarity of a crystalline.

That is true, I was exaggerating with the Crystalline

But still, my point remains.

Besides, even if they were rare drops...the community would QQ about it and Anet would then change it so everyone and their hero could have 2 each

Was that picture of a draconic shield taken with a shitty computer, or did they really just screw it up?

I want to know locations people! Get a team on it stat. Anet please don't tell me you've went and put these in high end elite area chests and Zaishen only. They should have been put in dungeon chests too and maybe even random loot areas.

Don't tell us where they are just tell us that they drop from other areas other than DoA and ZChest.

Agreed, that would be extremely lame. But according to the guy who found the axe, it was just outside in one of the Eye of the North areas, so there's still hope.
And yes, if anyone has a better picture of the draconic shield, please post. I've been waiting to see that shield for some time now.

They aren't streaming because people are hoping to artificially control price by hiding where they found it. It's not true supply and demand, it's just profit off being the first to get new items, and that'll go away rather fast.

So now we just gotta run around killing things in HM in EoTN to see what we can find? Lol. How many items are in game anyone know?

Cause I don't know how many people won...

Chances are its attribute isn't fixed to a single profession like most dungeon chest caster items.

why should a mesmer item be bad?

There are a lot of mesmers, not only Eles and Necros.

Ah I know why you dont like that the focus is based on a mesmer attribute: you can't use it for usan

Think of it this way....mesmers have the most refined sense of style, and they chose your design

Very beautiful design btw. Also keep in mind most spellcasting things in gwen aren't tied to just 1 attribute so we could see another...

Umm wouldn't you use a shield for armor with that,not a offhand for Energy...

Personally i would hate it just to be a Mes. offhand it looks nice,and it would = bad cuz i dont play mes.

You figured me out. You must be Sherlock Holmes. Or retarded.

I made the design based on Elelmentalists that's why. I made something That I would think looks cool on my Ele, I'd like to use it for that.

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 :/

Yes, the axe in that german thread linked earlier is the Serpentine Reaver. I don't know what specific monters (if any) have the ability to drop it, but mine came from a chest guarded by Shezel Slowreaper (plant derv). A normal "Vabbi Chest", not the buried treasure one that is also in that area.

Thanks for sharing.
