The first 15-21/Q6 sword in this game surfaces after over 5 years? And it's a Crys?!?! Omfg sooo unbelievable.
Ofcourse if it's real it must have dropped in the earliest months of GW, I've seen quite a few low req (including a req.5 gold one) / low dmg crys gold and purple so it could be from the same source, but still I would never expect that high dmg to ever be possible on a req.6.
Let someone see this in game and verify.
Rarest Weapon Ever?

Tho when in early 2005 gold crystas dropped from crystal desert when non max ones came around it also did drop purples?
and if im not completely wrong also frozen chest and lost strongbox did drop purples?
but as discussed before there been that one purple r7 crystalline (posted also somewhere in traders outpost), even tho not sure if its real neither.

It's not even the skin and colour which amaze me, but the fact that it's req6 15-21. I doubt that's actually possible. Like I said, b/o pl0x

I had and still have it.
a r9 max dmg 14% unconditional Chaos Axe. but I fck'd it up by adding a Zealous mod to it thinking I could always expert salvaged it back. BOY was I wrong. I was able to expert salvage the mod but the -1 stayed. Still QQ'in about it. And no I am not making this up. I also dont have a screenie, up to you to believe me or not.

I've heard the very low gold crystallines (can't remember a purple lower than req7) dropped from a barrel in one of missions in Kryta (was it Divinity Coast?).
Becaus any dropsource droping white and gold weapons can also drop purples theres no reason to believe the lost strongbox and that barrel didn't. Imho it'a just becausw nobody paid any attention to purples and nonmax items back in 2005 (everyone was told to merch/salvage them) so few of them were kept and remembered. I think that if someone would get a 15-21 req.6 sword (common skin, not crys obv) back then and asked for a pc, he'd get told its worthless because nonmax. The players' mentality was so much different then. Just think that for example it 's actually quite likely that a 15al/req 6 shield was a possible drop before the NF nerf, but none were kept till the times when people would see it as something exceptional.

Well... if the Chaos Axe came with the Zealous mod on it (as a drop) that scenario might be possible.
Check the uncond. thread for the story about the "fake" unconditionals coming with a zealous or vamp mod and when you salvaged the mod the -1reg would stay. Still those were fixed by an update anyways as far as I know, so it would even have become an "average" weapon without you salvaging the zealous mod.
E: And the req7 Mursaat would still be ePeenish with the 15/-1

Well sum1 replied and said it's worth 150+ ectos but i believe it's worth more, depending of what the "+" means...

The Healing Eternal is cool, for sure! But I agree, those are not exactly "rarest weapon ever" material. They're not easy to find, but they're out there. They've been a possible drop from inherent source areas as long as the game's been around. Here's a pic with more.
The Water Crude Shield was a drop I got in HM Divinity Coast mission about a week ago (from one of the Mergoyles up by the fountain where you have to wash your feet,) so yes they can still drop.

The q6 cryssie is an obvious 180° flip, it is explained and showed pretty well in the Low req thread...
I would actually like to see a gold, max uninscr Tribal Axe.. Or any gold uninscr tribal for that matter.. Anyone know if they drop?

Here's a shot of an item tag with both a "9" and a "6" The req. 6 on that purple sword looks more to me like a flipped 9 than a 6.
Am I saying there is 100% certainty that 15-21 r6 sword cannot exist? No, of course not - I don't have access to the game's source code at all, much less every revision of it. In fact, it's fairly common knowledge that the game used to drop max r7 swords, so 15-21 r6 may very well used to have dropped, too.
Am I saying it is highly unlikely that 15-21 r6 swords can still drop today? Yes, I am, because the lowest req. we know of that can still drop with 15-22 (max damage) swords is req. 8. If someone provides proof of an r7 15-22 sword dropping today or even an r6 15-21 sword dropping today, that's great! But so far A LOT of people have been looking and haven't been able to find such things. If you want to help us in the hunt, please see this thread.
I realize pointing this out is likely to make the next shopped picture even more convincing. Oh well. It's the internet, it happens. I don't understand the point of faking shots of what might drop in a video game, but there are all manner of folks who get their kicks in all manner of ways. (I did save the image to HDD from that tinypic-hosted site before posting this, though. I do not expect the picture here will mysteriously change to a more convincing version, but I figured it was worth a few kB just in case.)
Cheers,

A few weeks ago somebody wasn´t sure about this one so he asked about it in a german forum. Dropped for him in Chows Estate HM.
Tribal Axe q9 dmg 6-28 12%-50 oldschool. Two of the veterans from overthere said that this one was the first oldschool max dmg tribal axe they had ever seen.
Perhaps this one might be a candidate for a rare weapon (of course not "the rarest").

Was just wondering if anyone has considered rare(ish) core skins that should be uninsc. that have been obtained from the z-chest as inscriptable.
For example, and for sentimantal value only, I keep hold of a r9 insc. shining maul....

Go run NM and you WILL get q8/12 foci and q8/16 shields. I haven't gotten any golds, but I HAVE gotten purples.

I remember years ago we had a thread asking if there were inscribable shields that were Q3 and below with armor 9 or above. The advantage would be that you could run 12/12/3 attributes and gain more armor than a normal shield that would only give you 8 armor.
The consensus was that those shields did not exist. Later on I found a Q3 shield with 9 armor (blue insc). I sold it for quite a bit of money btw...
Recently I found a Q3 Crude Shield with 11 armor rating. This is definitely the rarest item I have ever found in game. I have found maybe a dozen Q8/16 shields over the years.
And the Crude skin is one of my favorites.

Purple inscr crystallines i guess go on the list? Only supposedly dropped in preview weekend.
Why?
it really just gets impossible to figure out what people think are worth something nowadays. Who knows how many of these things have just been merched.

Yup. they still drop. This one dropped for me a few days ago during a MQSC run and im still trying to get a PC on it in my PC thread;
EDIT: Oops, didnt see how old that post was
. I inadvertantly managed to necro an active thread... that must be a new one
