I'm actually surprised no one has mentioned these, but what about the 3 Dwarven weapons from the EotN dungeons? Granted, we don't know much about the Anvil of Dragimmar or Kathandrax's Crusher, like when they were forged or what powers they hold.

We do know about the Hammer of the Great Dwarf, however. We know it holds the power to transform an entire race (well, almost all of them) into stone, and change their states of mind so that they become single-minded and obsessed with killing every last Destroyer. Seems pretty powerful to me. I'm not really sure how "Ancient" it is though. Wasn't it forged by The Great Dwarf himself though?

may be stupid but slow totem from dunes of despair could be worth looking into as well.

This might be far stretched but as you have Cauldron of Cataclysm listed I wanted to bring this up a bit.
While I was vanquishing Crystal Overlook while I found out something that could be weapon similar to Cauldron:

This area can be found in the sulfur area of Crystal Overlook, same place where you can find Zehtuka's Horn.
This looks pretty much like the cauldron charr used to do the Searing. As we know, Crystal Desert (and the Desolation which is linked to it) used to be sea which turned into desert by Abaddon who helped Jadoth. Charr used cauldron which was powered by Abbys followers Titans (Or Abaddon himself), and Crystal Desert was.. well, deserted by Abaddon.

Possibility for for connection? Perhaps, but of course not every altar we encounter is a tool of mass destruction

You my friend have the same thinking process as those at GWO, as I stated in this thread:

The Crystals made the desert - via erosion from the remaining water, the fire evaporated some of the water.
It is highly possible for a connection between the two. That is, the Crystal Overlook's cauldron was another Cauldron of Cataclysm (and older).

Oh damn, it was already mentioned in this thread.. And just when I thought I had found something new. So far I haven't found anything else worth telling in Desolation if you don't count the numerous bones of Gigantus Lupicus or whatever you call them again. I'm sure I saw something interesting while questing in some area but at the moment I can't think it. I think I go check that GWO site....

The charr cauldron dropped large crystals from the sky destroying ascalon, right? According to the manuscripts the crystal desert is made up of tons of tiny crystals and not sand. I find it highly likely that the elona cauldron type thing is what created the sand-like crystal of the crystal desert.

Possible, however, as I've already stated my views before, I find it more likely that the possible crystals brought down in the Scriptures of Abaddon were brought by Abaddon's power, not a Cauldron of Cataclysm's.

For those who wish to read up on the GWO's thoughts on the Cauldron of Cataclysm "copy" in the Crystal Overlook in relation to both Abaddon's Scriptures and the formation of the Crystal Desert. Here is the thread. Thread discussion on the relation starts here. And the main portion of it starts here.

I might decide to look into the subject a bit more closely and make a new thread on it, but I wouldn't mind if someone started one before me.
