Anyone care to explain these "glowing weapons"? It's not something I'm familiar with.

My next question:

Are there golden shields wihtout any mods?
Like...

Golden shield name
Armor: 16
Value: 247 Gold

Without any shield handle/insc/inherent mods on it... Not mono mod, not dualmod, just golden name^^

Same question with focus...

Dunno if this really applies here, but whats the highest gold value (to merch) on a wep? and furthermore, what actually influences gold value?

i know there are other raritys(item color) without mods. i don't think there are any gold ones, simply because the fact that Gold rarity pretty much implies perfect/near perfection. but i could be completely wrong bout that. there are weirder things out there...

Thinking of what caused the "no damage mod" bug on other weapons (they had a +xx% vs species instead) and as this was (afaik) the only possibility for a gold weapon to come without mods I'm pretty sure to say no. There are no such shields.

Oh on other weapons its actually Somehow Common, isnt it?
On purple its very common...
On gold i remember to have gotten a few (martial weps)...
But merched them... Maybe i confused it with purple tho.


Cant there be in NF/eotn a golden Shield with just a Shield-Handle? Then u could salvage the Handle...


So u say... There arent any NON-mod golden weps at all?? Or not droppin anymore?
Arent there a few crystallines with it?

Others then Shields & offhands still can drop without any mods as far as i know... Wands not sure, think they can tho

atleast from fact & Tyria i get alot sword/axe/hammer/bow/daggers without any dmg mod, ie, can be salvaged to moddless gold

Don't forget it's also pretty common to get a Gold Staff with no inherent mod, with just 1-2 removable upgrades. Same applies to all the tyrian/canthan martial weapons, but in their case the much more common cause was having a +dmg vs mobtype suffix (fixed later).

Shields, Foci and Wands however should always have a mod when purple or gold (technically purples work just like golds but with much lower %chance for dualmod)

Recently this post made me rise an eyebrow:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...postcount=1318

espiecially as he claims it's a recent drop, not something from before Factions release. For those who don't remember, back then purple or even gold weapons could occassionally drop completely clean, without even being 'Unidentified'! I have kept one purple staff like this for years (clean, not unident and no gold value displayed so id kit was not used on it), but must have deleted/merched when doing a great inventory purge.

I think they (clean purple or gold shields/foci/wands) shouldn't be possible drops nowadays, but there's a good chance they might have been possible in the infamous Mausoleum - I mean a possible gold drop with just 1 mod that happens to be removable, the way gold staves can drop anywhere. I didn't look at the drops for that kind of oddity (too many of possible cool rarities there and too little time) or maybe there were just none to catch my attention. It all depends on the order of mod generation which I didn't manage to figure out yet.

I had wands like that gold & purple From mauseleum, (without any mods) As they only had the wrapping part which i salvaged off, think i also got screens of one somewhere, merched em after

Edit@ Searched abit of screens and found this

Just found this among my screenshots of Mausoleum drops:

(I had removed the focus core from it myself)

I think we can safely say that a gold shield with no mods at all (with just salvage'able handle) could have also been a possible drop in the Mausoleum. Can't see why mod generation on shields could be different than on foci or wands. Chances for such a shield there however were probably been much lower than for a 3-mod one.

Totally did not think about Mausoleum Drops regarding the non mod shields.... so I'd say "it's not possible but for Mausoleum Drops"

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

I got two non-modded items from a Charr Battle Plans quest in HM. It was the one that takes place in Dragon's Gullet and requires you to kill 100 Charr. A chest spawned and I got a 11-21 Holy Rod (Gold) which wasn't labelled as Unidentified. I identified it anyway and it only displayed the merchant value; no mods.

The other item was a purple Crude Shield which dropped as loot.

I'm annoyed at myself now for merching them but if someone could use their Charr Battle Plans and replicate the scenario then it can be proven that way.

My question is about Ghostly staves - I know that exist staves on Death magic and curses inscribable versions. I also saw some fire attribute req some time ago on guru, also inscribable. Is it possible that exist also some staves with such attrubutes like healing, protection prayers or restoration? I know that usually its only like soul reaping, spawning etc but what about curses or death magic?

Other than the glitched mausoleum drop, are there any confirmed non-inscribable Tyrian Sickles dropping purple/gold, or are blues still as good as it gets?

Blue is the best one you can get, I'm 100% sure. Though some people around here might say different

I have a quick question. You are talking about golden r7 MAX DAMAGE bows, arenĀ“t you? I have seen a few screenshots of nonmax R7 bows though.

Ye, they're talking about max damage bows, any req is possible for any gold-drop item (pretty much..).. just not max damage.

r8 15^50 Gothic Swords?

Since I've seen plenty of other Canthan swords with those stats I'd assume it's possible but do any of these exist in game? I haven't seen one. Oh, and without wishing to make this into a PC thread, if they do exist, how much do they go for?

Funny sidenote... I remember in July 2007 (shortly before EotN release) I bought 5(!) req8 15^50 Gothic Swords from the same guy. Think it was 120e for the set or so?

Kinda cool as they used to sell for 35-50e flat each back then.

So: "lots" of them around, yep

The core skins therefor are most likely all originated from Cantha I guess.. I know people with Shield of the Wings and such, and a Wooden Buckler, but I take it that's a Canthan drop.

Too bad, but I kind of already knew it.

Anyone care to explain why? Or is it just something random they forgot to implement?

Theoretically they shouldn't exist as both campagins have separate arrays of possible 'vs mobtype' mods. But I might be forgetting a rare case event when a skin exclusively from one campagin dropped IN another.

stupid question but no so stupid, as i got no proof of this until now.....did anyone ever seen a blue or white Echovald Shield??

I farm a lot in echo forest and had all the shields that drop there in all version: gold and purple echos; gold, purple, blue and white gothic defenders and same for ornate shields.

No drop for Guardian of the Hunt, that remain for me the most rare drop as farming in forest! but that's only my experience!

And some items only drop as golds: GotH, Amber Aegis and Irridescent may only drop as gold, I believe. Celestial weps/shields are certainly only gold. Canthan platinum items, perhaps?

Pretty nice thread! (I wonder how I didn't found it earlier )

Anyway, here's the question;

Do Runic weapons (Runic Maul, Glowing Runic Maul, Runic Hammer and Runic Blade) drop with Inherent modifier??
I know Runic Axe does... but I never saw q8/q9 Mauls and Blades with Inherent...

I'm fairly certain that they all drop uninsc except for the Runic Blade. That's an EotN and end-chest exclusive iirc.
