Although the original art work was quite well done I must honestly say I wouldn't want any of them for any of my characters. Admittedly, considering the current prices, I wouldn't mind finding some to make some cash...

When a guy posted a picture of it and its name I got more assured of it... EagleCREST, hmmm there is a WingCREST Maul as well which can be also found in that dungeon only...
Anyway I hope that people will be lucky to get one but personally I have done it like 15times on HM and yet no axe... But oh well I was never lucky with drops anyway

So some anonymous user adds this information to the wiki, and now it's proven?

I stand corrected...

Falls from the end chest I have only seen the eagle crest drop in hardmode. Enjoy.

Gaile has stated that the first batch added 8 contest art weapons and 1 dev team art weapon.
The second added 6 contest art weapons.

Have we found all of them yet?

In the past, all new weapons will be reflected (very quickly) in High End or Spamadan. For some reasons, the 2nd batch aren't appearing.

seems that all new weapons has taken place of Weapon Type. Lets See.

Found
Spear, Scythe, Swords, Axe, Shields, Wand, Staff, Focus, Hammer, Dagger, Bow.

Wonder Unkown Item would of been that Everlasting Yuedi Tonic that Scoob found in FoW End Chest. That was found recently when new items came out. Could that be it. Just a Thought.

There's little incentive to farm them. People have lots of money, lots of weapons already... supply and demand isn't going to get these rather decent but unremarkable new skins moving that fast.

That's not a designed weapon, so it definitely isn't.

Well there's a ton of things in the honorable mentions that haven't been added... has anyone seen of them in the .dat?

Of course the Gaile quote just be a miscommunication somewhere along the line, I wouldn't rush to look for a new weapon since it probably would have shown up in game already.

I think the main reason why spamadan and high end do not have much of the second wave.... is because the second wave is even more of a letdown than the first...

I think A-net is trying to satisfy two vastly different artistic tastes in players. Some people like very intricate, realistic representations (like the new scythe). However, some people find that style almost too real to look good, and prefer simpler, more iconic style weapon (I believe those would be the same people who complain about plasticy-ness). While the staff does differ from the concept art, I kind of like the cleanness of the in-game design. My only desire for change would be to increase the size of the fleshy bit to give it some more color.

I can confirm that the Eaglecrest Axe drops from Ravens Point end chest in NM.
So far it seems only to be found from that location.

Not buying that. I believe most people would want it to look as close to the concept art (or better) if the design was kickass to begin with. Why would you like something that looked crappy? High end details sell, period. That's like saying I can run high end graphics on my PC but I prefer to see everything in low detail.... (visual not performance wise).

It was a super-fun contest, and I hope that everyone enjoyed finding the items.

Now excuse my english, but "8 items along with an added item" makes 9 right?

I got to agree this batch is a bit disappointing

No flashy or glowy stuffs (sorry, thats just me )

Just a thought: Some of the drop location for items like Storm Daggers and Dragon Bone Staff don't seem to have much prove (or any at all), at least from here. The only thing is that it is stated on wiki. Probably someone there just saw someone mention on this thread (without prove) and update the notes, making everyone think its a confirmed location.

I think your thinking of the Hourglass Staff, which looks a lot like the clockwork scythe, minus the blade and add a hourglass, which was put in with Glacial Blade and the Darksteel Longbow with the preview event of EN. In total, there are 17 known DAW weapons, if you include the Obsidian Blade.
