a few gold swords

ok this thread is more to satisfy my curiosity than anything else. I'm wondering if a gold tribal blade even exists. being a sword collector, i'm kind of wanting one thats gold. ive farmed a long time in hard mode at all the areas they're said to drop on wiki and have yet to see a gold, or even a purple for that matter drop. so my question is have any of you ever seen one drop and if so where and what droped it?

I'm also beginning to wonder the same thing about normal and lesser sage blades, as i have only ever seen a purple normal sage blade drop, never gold, white, or blue. And only a blue or white lesser sage blade one yet plenty of gold greater sage blades, but curiously enough never a blue white or purple greater sage blade.

is my luck truly this bad or is there something i'm missing here?

yes they all drop in gold, your just having bad luck

I've got a gold sword that uses the same skin (iirc a falchion), it dropped for me from a smite... actually, make that 2. I'll sell one to you if your interested, but they probably have crappy inherent mods.
