I was just wondering, why in the world do I find so many weird looking items in Pre-Searing? There are so many items that have a different look then the ones I usually find in Post-Searing. I've played Guild Wars for 1100 hours in total, and about 200 of those in Pre-Searing, the most strange looking items were all from Pre-Searing, even though I haven't spend that much time there at all.

Maybe Pre-Searing isn't affected by patches, so that the items that used to drop, are still there? Pre-Searing wasn't affected by the "AoE Nerf" either.

Because I found a strange looking Jewelled Chakram today I made this thread, but it's far from the only strange item I've found. I farm in Pre-Searing alot, so I might add other pictures later. Here is the picture:

I concur, many items in Presear have unique skins. However, some of them are from the quests there (like how quests in Postsear give odd skins like crystalline sword called longsword).

I get a lot of "rare" weapons that are low damage, like Serpent Axe, Bows with strange skins. I agree, Pre-Searing, has many odd looking items.

i dont think quest rewards count as rare skinned finds, not very rare if everyone can get one by beating a 5 minute quest
try again

I like some of the Monk Pre-Searing Armour :P

saw a guy in town with it the other day at the forge, he was more unique than Monks with FoW armour.

My Monk got this grim cesta from a Charr in pre-searing. It looks like a bird claw:

pre sear is without doubt the best place in the game, imo. Scenery and items alike I just deleted my monk since i never used it and have a ele there now, may never leave pre sear. Think its possible to get a gold weapon?

I got this weird hammer that I've never heard of before in pre-sear. It was called a magma's arm and it just looked like one of those normal hammers with the circle in the middle. So apparently there are weird names there too, not just strange skins.

highly unlikely that you'll find or even will see a gold item in pre. I've spend over 400 hours in pre and have never heard of a gold item having dropped ever. No gold weapons or offhands, no major runes (only minors). I have seen lots of the so called 'rare' items like dwarfen and krytan axes. sickles etc...

The funniest item that I had drop in presear (or maybe it was a quest reward) was a truncheon that they had labeled as a "grim cesta".

That would be funny to announce - I'm wielding a Grim Cesta and a Grim Cesta!

Yeah, gotta love that Grim Cesta hand

I'm going to farm Gargoyles again today, since they seem to drop most of these rare looking items

Yeah, I've also seen Magma's Arms being dropped in the Ascalon Missions, I think one dropped from the same stash that had one of that Ghost's armor pieces.

Preseer is a treasure chest! weapons and items with unique skins that should've been put in post seer. another reason why pre seer is just so much better. on a side note: i vote that the preseering "trainer" armor be made available in ascalon city for nostalgic players like me.
