The Cerulean Edge sword probably belongs in the rare category as well.

Unconditionals I guess
Shining mauls are considered rare? I've had quite a few gold ones drop for me. One or two perfect I think, and currently being used by this or that Goren.

I've had swamp clubs drop too, but never a perfect one.

Max Shining Maul was difficult to get, only place was the Ice Floe mission.
Today in Hard Mode you can find it in several places in Kryta and Maguuma (dropped by White Mantle)

I forgot a "rare" sword with same droprate as Swamp Club

Aerowind Blade.

Aerowind Blade is so rare that price for a perfect one is around 7k.......

Perfect Swamp club can hardly be beaten by any other weapon in the game.

And you never customize it? That is -20% less damage effectiveness than my BMP bow.

That is the problem with people using rare skins, unless it is a caster weapon, they normally have lower damage as they dont customize them.

Try getting a max damage non-inscripable gold Tyrian Sickle, let alone one with a good mod. Saw one once, might've been the only one.

Hmm, do you happen to have a screenshot of it?
To my knowledge the general understanding was that both (tyrian) Sickles & Tribal Axes, simply *couldn't* drop as non-inscribable golds.
Would be interesting to see one of those.

Apparently the jug is the rarest object in the game because I can't seem to buy a gold one for love or money and I have had only white ones drop for me.

Ever since HM those aren't quite rare anymore.. Fairly easy to get one.
Several foes on Shing Jea Island drop them. Minister Cho's Estate HM, or the Naga Cave are the best spots to get one as far as I know. You can get a req9 15^50 for 30k or so.
However before HM, these axes were extremely rare, as max gold, if there were any at all.

If your talking about the Flameberge they have been around since release of Prophicies. Still nice looking to some people.

One of the best sword skins has always been the Fellblade, old but still among the most popular to this day.

Imo.

Bo Staff's, yes they drop alot but almost never with "halves casting time of attribute(20%)" oldschool. Only time ive seen one was couple weeks ago here on High End. It was Q8 fire magic, and it also went for a insane price ( believe over 500+ ecto if i am not mistaken ). Still waiting to see one of those in healing/protection/energy storage etc etc .

Very nice. Were those recent drops, or were you holding on to them for a while?

And do you know where that Sickle dropped? I would consider farming there for nostalgic reasons

Try farming someplace like Dragons Gullet in HM.
Just an idea, but lots of tyrian stuff SHOULD Drop there, especially if you have the titan quest on, i reckon could be a good farm.

Did you not notice that it had Deathbane on it? It's just an EotN drop.

You've got to show some love for Zodiac weapons. They glow! Well, not entirely, just the gem points. Still, it's a nice effect! I have a Zodiac sword that helps enhance my holy warrior theme. He he! They aren't as rare as obsidian and emerald, but they are nice none the less.

My most prized weapons in my collection is still my req 8 uninscribable 15^50 Storm Bow and Chaos Axe. For that matter, I would never sell my req 8 perfect flatbow or HoD sword.

This brings a big point out.
We as the community cant answer to what the rarest weapon is, because we all have different views. To me Crystallines arnt rare, and i can farm around 5 in an 1-2 hours. But to many other people, they have never even seen one. If you want to find the rarest skins, www.guildwiki.org

Sorry, but I'm incredibly skeptic about this statement.
I would assume you would farm the Kilroy quest in SF, but that would mean either;
- You somehow are the most super duper awesomest person in GW and the entire quest only takes you about 1 minute.
- The quest takes you like 10 minutes like every other person in GW, but your have such incredible luck, a crystalline drops for you every other run.

Rare doesn't really apply to skins anymore as much as to the stats of the item. Aside from the newest items to be added to GW, just about any skin can be aquired relatively easily or cheeply. The requirements or mods on items (speaking of non-inscribed mods) are what really make them rare.



This is something that really needs to be addressed in GW2. If you look at my picture there is no way you can spot what is a White item or a Purple or Gold or Green. (aside from those that only come in one form that is) No way of telling what has perfect mods or none at all.

If 2 items share the same skin and identical functionality in the game, why should anyone care about the color of the text in the name of the item?

The Obsidian Dildo. I'm not sure how it got added into the game, but there is, to the best of my knowledge, only one. And the player who has it no longer plays.

While vanquishing Elona, I found an Ungula Axe, req 9. I've never seen one mentioned or spammed. Anyone else have one?
