Thats right, i was in LA and someone was wanting a PC on these. So i traded to look, and it was indeed a clay brick and a brick of mud!!! (see attached)

Now, he says he got these today, i'm pretty sure he wasn't lying.. but what does this mean? new armour/weapons? or just useless materials?

I got a feeling with the new End of prophecies, it could also be an accident that allowed these back in...

They were removed from crafters and material traders before. I guess some people still have them.

They are obsolete.

so therefore, since this guy got a drop TODAY there is a known source....

now this is interesting.
IF this is real there's surely something bigger behind it.
there's no reason to make these drop out of the blue now without a plan to use them somehow

i don't. But i asked, DID THESE EVER DROP? i did not play in the beta, and only been playing for 2 years. The information online seems to point towards the fact that they never dropped. If this is so, then how has he got these?

The guy seemed innocent and truthful enough, but who is to know?

If they did drop, you will eat your words.

So what's the story here? Can anyone confirm that these are actually dropping now and if so, where at? Or did this guy just have them in his inventory for 3 years.

At the end of it all, it could be true. He could have got them as a drop today. Who knows? Go farm the Maguuma jungle (near The Wilds he said) and see if you can find anything.

My guess they've held on to them for 3 years or got them from someone who did. I started right after beta so I'm not sure if they dropped then and/or were available from a crafter during beta.

Most people know they were removed from the game. Maybe you should farm to try to prove your point. I'm not the one listening to people lying about items dropping.

I will believe it if I get a picture of its dropping that does not look 100% shopped.

If anet officially re-added them, first thing they would probably do is to add material storage for them.

If they'd been added wouldn't they be listed on one of the updates? I don't really pay much attention to anything there that isn't skill related, so I could be wrong.

said he "just got them today" that dosen't mean they were dropped... it means a friend was clearing out storage and went "lol!1!!1!!, jack do u want some leet stuff?" and jack said "ZOMg111!1!! LEEEEEETTTTTTT"

There was no way to obtain these materials at release, so it's not somebody clearing storage and magically finding them. If they actually have been re-introduced without just being an accident, there will eventually be a use for them.

Not true, my husband got a mud drop during the first week. (seared Ascalon area) Since there was no use for them he merched it and never got another one. It is possible for someone to have had it on their account for 3 years. Possible, not too likely.

If I recall correctly these items were used to craft the Tempored Glass Vial that was then needed for crafting the Vial of Ink.

New armour? Unlikely.

More so that the devs have been in Sardelac and decieded to add 'Mud Baths' in, where the uber-leet-winzorz guys can pamper their characters.

Bricks of mud, most likely a relic of the old days, as previously mentioned. Something like this would have come up in the update notes.

I doubt they'd do a stealth update for mud.

I can only imagine what a new set of armor crafted from mud and bricks would look like...

Wait, I've got it...they build a trading tavern! w00t Anet finally implemented the auction house ::runs to tell everyone::

I can see them actually doing that...but with the condition that 1 million players must provide one brick each :P

Well, if its anything like the rubies...I got one of those when all we had was prophesies. It dropped with in the first 6 months after release. Held on to it too......
We eventually had a use for rubies.
I recall seeing the the bricks in the past....either just before or just after factions. Never did find a use for them.
But then again...everyone remember gwens broken flute or the tapestry shred?
If it was me, I think I would hang onto it for a bit.

That black border around the mud makes me think about fake.

I'm not believing anything until I see a drop line followed by an /age line with more than 24 months.

I've been playing since the beginning and an avid farmer also i have never had them drop nor heard of anyone ever getting them as drops. To my knowledge anet had an idea for them that never was implamented, so they took them out of the game. The fact that neither staoarge or rare mat guy has a slot for them combined with the fact the items in question look very much photoshopped leads me to believe this is a bunch of bs.

Yes there are still the guys ingame that will make them just no mudbrick that will drop to make them. If u look closly at the pics of the mud and clay brick all they did was copy/paste and enlarge the pics to what u see in the original picture, somebody's just looking for attention.
