Zomg this is so great :O

Apart from the warrior weapons the rest don't see too impressive :|
I mean unbounded 10/10 casting and recharge is great, but then again the weapons themselves already tie you to an attribute in their reqs, and if you are gonna be tied already might as well just get the current greens with 20/20s.
I don't quite see how these will fit in really :???:

Meh more mediocre weapons with rare skins, woohoo. The only good thing is the shield and maybe one of the bows, the rest... well meh. I much prefer to make a drok's sword and mod it up than use the new "shadow blade" :P
Over all good update, I am fascinating over the pretty scenery of the load screen.

Was the guild wars economy EVER balanced? Jeez the games economy changes so rapidly its not like the economy hasnt been "ruined" before. These new weapons may cause a small bump in the selling prices of greens but it will drop again seeing as these are really nothing special. A few are worth picking up but others are just trash. To everyone thats complaining about "rare" skin items and everyone looking the same, tell me when they released the razor stone how many people did you see walking around with sephis axes :P? In the end its your choice what to equip your character with I believe its fair that everyone if they play smart enough can get what they want in this game.
My own experience with the tombs entrance to the UW is that small groups unless you play smart will get owned. Bring hex removals and prepare for damage spikes. Also watch out for worms they're a beootch
No greens that run but ectos dropped at least. :]

Stop whining, people. It hasn't happened after SF, and it won't happen now.

Say you use Elemental Attunement. Using a 10/10 unbound staff is the only way to get that skill recharged faster.
By the way, you don't really need to attack as much as recharge, anyway. Besides, just becuase you are using one attribute doesn't mean you wouln't have another at the same time.

New green weapons eh? Well, the shadow sword looks nice, but since I run a mesmer. . .and they give me an offhand, linked to fast casting (though I always have 9 or more) with no fast cast/recharge bonuses? Hmmmm. . .think I'll stick with my droknar's forge focus. True, the domination staff looks like it has decent stats, but I prefer armor to hp, and my current staff is a mix of the collectors and this (10% faster cast all skills, 20% recharge domination skills) Well, I can always sell em I suppose

Spent ~2 hours, got to the darknesses... WOO! Kole's gauntlet...
Damn you victo and your dumb ass not dropping me your blade /fistshake.

So, who else blew a load of cash on this event?
I've been meaning to get mesmer fissure armor, was at 93 ecto, 24 shards, and a few hundred thousand gold..
I've always wanted a shadow blade since I started, and now that I can... well.. I'd do anything.. Best price I found? 20 ecto.. the guy was really nice and gave it to me for 19 :]..
[I did a 2 hour run earlier and got Kole's Gauntlet [what a gip! 3/8 get a green for all that hard work, and some of them are just blegh!!] and sold it for 20k [It's a pretty useless item to me, I don't use a necro, and if I do, I'm not running him through poison and I'm too cool to be hit by poison tipped arrows...]
So the morale of the story? I spent ~152k on something that I can get in a week or so for about 80k, most likely......
*cough*, this was the only item I spent a lot of money on, ever, though.... so I guess it's OK.

I sold my Recurve Bow for almost 60K, I didn't want to rip the guy off and I already though 60K was too much to pay for it. I just hope he dosen't resell it for 100K or more lol...
Now off to get the sword....

anet has said that mutli-attributed elementalists will become more viable. i guess, possibly, this happens with the other new skills too for other professions. if true, this means that these greens will become more useful - for example, the Earth staff with 10/10. A player might only have a ward in earth magic, and use a mixture of illusion and domination spells - but fast casting on the ward might be just as important as on the other attributes. i dunno, i just feel this insurgence of 10/10 items is hinting at said trend.
Ghost Recon
I'm hope it will stay like it is, i was in there quite quick and got a vitco's blade sold it for 50 ecto which isn't bad last time i checked LA for 50 ecto i could buy 2 of them so prices have droped by half in 6 hours.
Malchior Devenholm
The new staffs PWN...how can ppl say the war items are all thats good?
I say Bulwark and Blade is best...but the close 2nd place falls to each staff...
Reason why...10 pct chance for 1/2 RECHARGE AND CAST TIME (not 10 pct recharge or cast time) A FULL FREAKIN HALF!!!
Its been 10 pct, they upped it a whole 40...and the best part...
WORKS WITH ALL SPELLS!, god i have to farm this place more!!!

It was always 50% decrease in time. It just didn't state it before.
Lex Talionis
I got both the Kole's Gauntlet + Kole's Torment + I'm selling them for the best offers i can get. I will also trade both of them for the Victo's Sword. No joke, I dont have a necro so they're of no use to me.
haszek
I just wonder why the hell ppl pay so much for them? They r not rare or something, u can just go there and get some new green items. I was in 6 man group and got 2 in one game there. After couple trips everyone will have all collection. Why ppl pay couple hundreds for items that r even easier to get than old green ones?
Maxiemonster
Blegh.. A perfect Sickle, now noone will ever care about these 
I think this update isn't that great, this really makes golds worth much less, again.
Guess I can't do much else then farm the new Tomb thingy..

DAMN THIS SCHOOL AND ITS LACK OF GUILD WARS!
I'm glad they are staying means i have time to get them all [well the necro, monk n warrior OOOOH N THE UBER KNIFE]
im sorry for biting at ANet when i saw that ToA ghosts werent appearing, didnt realize was a bug... THANKS ANET!!!
the thing is those dan chaos worms could have probs beaten them, but we had a tank who liked to run in...o well tonight is green night
glad there's only 1 set per char class, makes it easier to obtain them all. The axe can be made...but people will pay for the skin, the sword can be made better [5/1 instead of 3/1], I've seen better shields but these are ace. takes ages to get to them tho candy canes ftw...axe for me
3 bosses...3 drops each...9 drops....everyone gets one =D +chance of ecto..
is it only ecto n greens they drop?

They can drop ectos, scrolls, greens... etc.
Sereng Amaranth
I got 2 ectos in my 1st run and that was way before the end. No one else got any, lol. I also got the bulwark. Since I don't have a warrior I immediately traded it for the ele offhand that my guildie got. I knew that shield was worth a grip. He better appreciate it.
Xenrath
It's kind of amusing the ones complaining are already rich or in some cases took advantage of recent exploits/bugged items...

I absolutely love it when A-Net shakes things up.
Anyone that is paying over 100K for one of these new greens, even the new sickle, is just plain retarded. There isn't one Sorrow's Furnace green trading for over 100K right now. Gaile Gray has already stated here:
http://img361.imageshack.us/my.php?i...012006c5wh.jpg
that the changes to the Tombs are here to stay, and as a result the greens will continue to be available to be farmed, just like Sorrows. My recommendation is if you see one, sell it immediately to a less experienced player.
I think the overall lesson in GW is not to invest your wealth in items. It's just plain too risky. Invest in gold and commodities you anticipate will continue to have a high demand/high value. Those that make a heavy investment in items will always be the first to complain when those items become available to the general populace.
The sickle is the first to fall. If you are holding a crystalline sword, I'd be shaking in my boots right now.

Because I agree with Jetdoc I sold the Victo's Battle Axe I just found. I got 112K + 9 ectos for it (we first trade 100K + 9 ectos for the axe, then he gave me 12K, I trusted him, he was nice ). I don't really think you should pay much for these greens.
How to get them?
You can go to a place called "The Underworld" through the Tombs of Primevil Kings. You need to get through 3 maps full of annoying enemies to get to the Hall of Heroes. At the end of HOH you'll have to face 3 Mesmer bosses, all 3 are called "The Darkness". In my own run I've seen a boss drop no greens at all, one dropped 1 green and one dropped 2 greens. It took our team about 1.5 hours to complete this run, and it was sure worth it, though, look out, don't just join a random PUG that rushes in, since this is pretty hard.
Good luck gettign some new green items!
