Rarest Skins
Panais
Since the start of guild wars quite possibly the rarest weapon in game has been the Crystalline Sword. Why would anet create a skin for a weapon that makes it impossible to farm(due to the fact that you need to win halls to get it) and not offer such a rare weapon to other classes. Discuss and share your ideas of what you think are the rarest skins for other types of weapons

a] Crystallines dropped outside of Halls back when there was only one "Guild Wars."
b] Swords are not Warrior-only weapons.

If you want to be technical, swords are warrior only weapons. However it so happens that someone went hey look lemme slap a +-5e and a 20% enchanting on this and give it to a caster and voila.
But alas its ugly. Rare skin or not. Its not for me.

Caster spear > Caster sword (except for looks sometimes)
One of the rarest weapons I'd say is this beaut right here. Never seen one in game.

did eternal swords and emerald edges go out of price or what? there rare than crystalline imho. volts are less rare than they used to be but its still not common exactly.
Surge goes pre
Tyrian Crystalline Sword that is gold and perfect is much rarer than any eternal or obby edge imo

crystallines always have been, and always will be the rarest weapons in the game, appart from maybe a q7 perfectly modded ecovald shield, dyed the old black

Rarest (read: most valuable) skins:
Bow; Silverwing Bow, Dryad Bow
Dagger; Storm Daggers?
Wand; Frog Scepter
Staff; Bone Dragon Staff
Focus; Celestial Compass I suppose ._.
Sword; Crystalline, Eternal, Obsidian, Emerald
Axe; None, as all the rare skins drop as inscribable nowadays, but it used to be Dwarven & Serpents
Hammer; Swamp Club
Shield; Echovald
Spear; Voltaic
Scythe; Not really sure, Steelhead? Bone Cage? Clockwork? Demon Tongue?
However if the req is low enough, any skin can be a rare item really...

IMO, the rarest skins are the perfect uninscribable golds in Tyria or Cantha. If you get a rare inscribable like an obby edge or voltaic, you can pretty much sell it no matter what because it can be easily modded. However, getting something like a Req 8 +30hp -5 (20%) magmas is pretty much unheard of, and would net a hell of a lot more cash then a low req perfect rare inscribable.

Crystalines really are not that rare anymore if you are just talking about the skin, you can get purple crystalines very cheap.
The 2 swords that I think are the rarest, mainly because not many people farm them anymore, are the Zodiac and the Cerulean Edge.
A good number of people still do FoW and UW so the number of Obsidian Edges and Eternal blades is going up, slowly but still it is going up.

bow-wise: Silverwing and Dryad Recurves are definately the rarest. Although I got a R9 Dryad from a Normal mode rragars run not long ago. Its my pride and joy.

Short sword.
NOBODY uses it. It's rarer than any of the other weapons in this thread.

Demoncrest spears seem to be pretty rare. A lot rarer than Voltaics anyway. Took me a couple of weeks to find and buy one a couple of months back and even then i had to settle for a req10.

The problem with me and these skins is that rare as they are, they don't surmount to the level of say(don't FLAME plz) Epic gears in WoW, in that they don't give a stat advantage over a long sword or a suntouched scythe. That being said I have crap skins(vabbian scimitar) but they are gold and have good stats O_o Cept for my warrior I like to flaunt my white eternal shield(no one can tell lol), blue fellblade, blue shadow shield...
Crystalline isn't the best looking, I don't get the hype except for huge epeen.

I got a purple Crystalline Sword out of the quest reward chest in FoW in the Forgemaster area after doing the quest where you defend the area. Not the end reward chest.

uninsc gold crystalline, dwarven axe, serpent axe (tyrian skin) are the rarest imo (as they don't drop anymore)
(there is at least one +5e uninsc crystalline (r13))

imo the rarest skins are the ones that aren't highly sought after and thus not farmed/collected. Particularly the skins that are only available/common in the low level areas meaning you can only get max versions in hard mode. And as was said earlier if the skin you want is in tyria/cantha getting a decent version of what you want is even harder. (still trying to get a decent max broadsword).
so as far as "rarity" goes I'd say; skins you can't buy > big name expensive stuff.

yeah tyrian 15>50 or +5e crystallines will top any weapon on any list. tyrian crystallines are only beaten by a lower req crystalline wit the same mods.

crysallines can not be gotten gold anymore non insc, which makes the few non insc perfect modded ones priceless.

rarest skin?...or the weapon with lowest droprate?
Mode change, one time it was Crystalline, Dwarven Axe and Magmas Shield, then Faction came and "new stars where born" mainly from Deep and Urgoz, then it was the Tormented in Nightfall, and a must was Gloom shield.
Now it is Voltaic, emerald- and obsididan blade and Dryad bow.
Silverwing a bit more "rare" because" it is harder to get but still they are all "farmable."
EotN "killed" many rare weapon, because they cut be crafted or dropped as Inscripable and after req 7 stopped, people look at 7/15/al or 6/14/al etc. and perfect req8 sell for high priceses.
But if we look at droprate it is other names
Swamp Club
Writhing Staff
Writhing Cane
if you also look at skin and droprate i would say
Crystalline Sword
Eternal Blade
Silwerwing Recurvebow
Best regards
