Updating note:
I'm having some busy days. I hope to get to look into it and update the lists until the weekend.

-----------------------------------
I was wondering what tradable items are still in game but can no longer be "created" by the game, meaning the amount of them will only decrees.

I've chosen to exclude minor variations of the same items, items customized by default, and other extremely uninteresting items.


Here is what we got so far:
  • Unconditional weapons. were discontinued shortly after the release.
  • gold uninsc items with an "insc mod", which dropped from the halls chest and now drop only insc: Crysts, Dwarven axe, Tyrian Serpent axe.
  • HoD swords.
  • Wintergreen weapons.
  • Limited pets: pig/celestial pig*/celestial rat*/Grawl
  • Semi limited pets**: Kuunavang/Varesh Ossa/Asura/Destroyer of Flesh/Gray Giant/Ceratadon
  • +25% vs charr weapon mods salvaged from discontinued collector items.
  • Mixed dyes
  • Tattered Girl's Cape.
  • -50hp major runes.
  • Zaishen Medallions.
  • Mods which were upgraded: 10/10 sundering***, +1/10% X mastery, .
  • Jade wind orbs.
  • Naga fangs.
  • Ghost forge insignia with +15 armor while affected by a chant. (as opposed to while under a weapon spell).
  • Wroth's Holy Rod dropped before the December 8th, 2006 update. (20%HCT-prot and light dmg instead +5e^ench and holy dmg).
  • -x/-y shields.
  • Vamp weapons in Pre-Searing.
  • Healing req -50hp focus.


*Celestials might have a cycle, but since it will be 12 years long, we can disregard "for now".
**As long as there are still magazines/CEs available, those can still be created. information needed on which ran out, which are going to run out, and which will be available for ever, if there are any.
***Exception: the "fire of the east" quest offers a sword which can be salvaged for 10/10 sundering.


In debate:
  • max req7 weapons.



Items which were brought up but are not in the list:
  • Skill gems and skill charms. (no longer in game).
  • Clay bricks and mud bricks. (were never available in game).
  • 15% ffs, rockmolders, dual mod axes. (no longer in game).
  • Dye remover. (no longer in game).
  • Pets like vizu and the panda. (were not limited, likely to be available again).
  • Zchest Tonics. (will be available in a cycle of a year).
  • Frosty tonic. (will likely become a Zchest tonic).
  • Mini frog. (was never available to players).


Items I'm not listing due to minority or low interest:
  • Account based items such as promptional (bonus) weapons, fame stick, event headgear.
  • Minor discontinued collector/crafter/quest items which no one cares about.
  • Gold weapons with +13^x.
  • Specific skins for which you can no longer get max at r8.
  • Green items with an older variant of different color.
  • Runes with the wrong rarity color (gold/purp/blue/white) or icon.
  • +1/-1 +2/-1 +3/-1 vamp mods for weapons with a max vamp of +5/-1.


[thanks to all those who are contributing].


Got any others?
(if you do, please explain and provide sources or pics if you can).
(also, make sure it wasn't already listed in any of the above lists).

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

HoD Hammer
Swamp Clubs
Gold Non-inscribable Dwarven Axes

Gold weapons with 13%^50/stanced/ench/etc don't drop anymore either, always at least 14% now.

Kinda goes along with the mixed dyes, but dye remover was removed from the game at the same time.

They were pvp rewards at some time, tradable for faction or something.

is that official? when did that happen?
I feel reluctant to include that. it's not like a gold weapon with 13^50% will ever get more attention than a 14^50%.

The dye remover was phased out of the game, in favor of the gray dye. mixed dyes are still in game.

I swear I've seen people selling, or at least claim to be selling, dye remover. I didn't have any at the time of that update, but I thought existing removers stayed around.

I think he means the "Vial of Dye [Mixed]" result from mixing dyes, rather than putting them up in the same window. 'cause there's a few people who have it, but no longer obtainable by any other means.

nah clay and mud bricks were around, and they must have been thinking about using them for something, but it might have been to hard to programm so they were scrapped i will try to dig out some old screen shots of material trader from when Guildwars first came out

yeah gold crystallines where changed so they all had Insc slots when NF came out.

with regards to the gold weapons they can still drop with any mod, there was no specific update stating that they only drop with 14^X onwards, thats just pure coinsidence that that is all you have obtained

Recently we've been getting questions about the monthly tonics and if particular tonics will be available again in the future. Some players were worried that if they missed the tonic they really wanted, that there would be no other way to get them in the chest again except through trade. To clarify, the tonics are on a 12 month rotation. This means that the June 2008 tonic will again be available in June 2009. So if you missed the Automatonic last month, you have a chance to get it from the chest in June 2009. We realize that the web page with the schedule doesn't make this clear, since it lists the year and month. The web page will be updated to clarify that the 12 month cycle of tonics will repeat next year, and the page will be udpated when the new August tonic is rolled out in the first scheduled build of the month.

iirc, that shield was a pre-customized bonus item.

I think those axes were removed.

+5 bows are still available, which makes blue quests ones not too special.

But thanks.

(HoD bow?)

I'm sorry, but I fail to see a proof, that the weapon dropped like that.
http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Weapon_modifier


EDIT - I have three more items for your list

1. Staffs with 2 gold modifiers, like this one: Click
2. All event hats
3. Dual Damage reduction shields (= -2/-2 or -2/-3)

@foo:
I'm 99,99% sure about #1 and #3, didn't see #2 in your OP, sorry.

We still get "spider shields" (-2^stance -10vs piercing). why should there be a difference? afaik, they are just rare... or was there something official in this matter?

Now they all look like this:

[Staff Name]
Halves skill recharge of spells (xx%)
Energy +xx
[Damage type] Dmg: xx-xx (requires xx [Attribute name])
Halves casting time of spells (xx%)

Unlike the example posted:

[Staff Name]
Energy +xx
[Damage type] Dmg: xx-xx (requires xx [Attribute name])
Halves casting time of spells (xx%)
Halves skill recharge of spells (xx%)

See the difference?

FrAnt1c² is talking about the ones with a dual-combination of these 3: -2 enchanted/ -2 stance/ - 3 hexed
- not the ones with one of these 3 combined with the -10 vs [Damage/Monster type] like the "spider shield" you mention
and he is right - the -2/-2 combination does not drop anymore. Check the prices of those shields,- they reflect this fact!

-x/-y shields still drop, just rarely

HoD Axes don't exist, period. Unless you want the changed +5 energy ones, which I'm sure most people would've destroyed due to uselessness.

20/20 rockmolders were al changed to 20/10

"Citys of Ascalon" or something like that reward. Accepted 2 postfixes, so you could have 2x +20% ench or so. It was changed along with all items already in inventory. No need to add it to the list.

Might add wintergreen weapons (insc and non-insc ones).
