uninscribable inherents

so ive been around guild wars for a little over 2 and a half years. and ive gotten my share of neat weps and such. i had heard about weapons with 15%-1 health regen and 15%-1 energy regen. never once had i gotten one nor been with anyone who had. i thought maybe they had removed them from the game? just recently though, while in urgoz HM, i got a q13 zodiac hammer with a 15%-1 health regen mod. i figured it was rare-ish. then while 600/smite-ing naphui HM i got a q10 14%-1 energy regen celestial bow. anyone else notice these type of weapons dropping more or is this purely coincidence? or maybe factions only?

I received a +14%/-1 energy regen sword from a Locked Chest in Hard Mode (Watchtower Coast, precisely) about 3 weeks ago. They still drop, though to be fair, it's the first one I've seen since I started playing Guild Wars 3 years ago.

I wish I could see such a thing. Been playing for over 3 years and never seen that... although I have seen a max q7 dual mod focus drop. My friend claims that he has received a 14% UNCONDITIONAL, like no mods whatsoever, celestial bow from the naphui quarter mission.

BTW, I am convinced that naphui has the most amazing drop rate of crazy stat weaps, as my q7 focus, and a q8 cele axe both came from that place from chest runs, within a few days of eachother.

I have had lots of them pop up, especially running HM chests in the Jade sea area. Nothing extraordinary, have had them as recent as a month ago (and I haven't been chest running since).

I've had a couple (bow bows, 1 was a regular long bow from Prophecies, the only was a amber longbow from Factions)

Yeh I got a q11 sephis axe with+15%-1 energy regen somewhere in kryta, think I merc'd it though as why the held would I use it >.>, if its energy I wanted to sac then I'd choose the -5e one...random inscriptions, are random.

got +15/-1e and +15/-1health plagueborn maul and bow the same day last week

merch got both

Had a r9 15/-1e Chaos Axe which I sold for 30k. It was Tyrian ofcourse

Like alot of players, your friend is completely full of shit. Unconditionals only dropped for the first few weeks after GW came out. The majority came from shiverpeaks and desert chest running.

i've had a few hammers and swords with +15% -1energy or hp, all from tyria about 2.5 years ago. I havn't seen any since though

The inscription system in NF and EotN lacks several modifiers and combinations that are only available in Prophecies and Factions. The +15%, -1 energy/health regeneration damage modifiers are two examples of those.

I'd be happy if they brought the unconditional weapons back and got rid of the conditional ones.

lol, i bought a 15 -1h q10 oni blade in a trade of unid's a little while back. 1st one i have ever had.

I've never seen one how much would a mod like that cost

Merched quite e few +15-1e (most from farming Farhuner) but never seen a +15-1hp mod.

I got Sephis Axe (req.12) with +15%-1HP regen from farming during last Halloween event.
Sold here for 30-40k can't remember. Many buyers in buy forum want this mod IDK why?

I still have Wingblade req8 with +15%-1HP regen too.

My vote for quote of the month!

I got a q9 (or maybe q10?) Dead Bow farming Gates Of Kryta a loooooong time ago. If I remember correctly it was a Vampric Dead Bow of Fortitude, although I'm not too sure about the grip. If I also remember correctly, back in the pre-factions days if you had the 15%/-1 health with a vampric mod, it only counted one of the "-1 health" modifiers. Which basiclaly made it like an unconditional dmg mod with vampric. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I don't remember as good as I used to.....

Afaik the unconditional weapons were ones that dropped with health degen and energy degen as the damage condition but also had zealous and vampiric mods.

I think if you got a weapon with 15%-1e and it had a zealous mod you would still only get -1e regen because of some bug, removing this zealous mod then gave you a weapon with unconditional damage.

I think the game was too new for people to appreciate the value of those weapons, i know all i cared about at that time was getting my hands on a fiery dragon sword.

Got a r12 Longbow with 15/-1 health regen about a month ago vanquishing Ascalon areas. Still have it.
