Jade Gorget = New Item?

I obtained this last night after I won HOH. Soon as it hit the ground I was stunned "Wtf is this" came out of my mouth into the vent server. Now I assume it turns into a rune like all armors but I dunno, I've never seen this armor before ever. What else drops this item besides HOH Chests? First thing that comes to mind are the Jade Armors, but futher inspection reveals they drop Mursaat Garments. I've searched all over google and the only thing I can pull up is a EQ item with the same name.

So, has anyone ever seen one of these before? If so, what monster drops it and does it salvage into a rune?

*For those who claim to have also found a Gold Gorget.... show, don't tell please.

Why not try to ID it?

Cool, maybe a new item from chapter 2 thats not meant to have been released

well, is there not supposed to be a "jade sea" in chapter 2? so mbye that is one of the drops from a monster in the sea, aka sea monster o.o

lol i was there when it dropped for you mate, as i said before im fairly sure that the jade armours drop them, and yes, its an armour so its just a rune.

The Jade armours drop Mursaat Garments. I know I'd remember something like Jade Gorget.

frozen chest in dreadnaughts drops them too its a free chest that drops armors and yeah jade armors/bows dont drop em

Expert Salvage it.. It might be a new rune :P

it's just an ordinary gold armor.

Free Chest in dreadnaughts? You sure you don't need a shiverpeak key? I thought they did away with all the free chests(besides one in pre and ascalon)

*No way i'm salvaging it...i'd rather have a unid'ed Jade Gorgot over a unid rune anyday. Besides I got all the runes unlocked.

ok heres how you find out what it is:
1. go to nearest merchant
2. purchase identification kit
3. double click the identification kit
4. click the jade gorget

and as if by magic it wil be identified and tell you exactly what it is!!!!11111!!!

ok so im taking the piss a bit here but come on just ID the thing why even waste time posting on a forum asking what it is????

There is a free chest in dreadnought, a bit north up dwayna's statue. It's called 'lost chest' and you don't need a key to open it.

Besides, the chest drops about 7+ items at once (but for now i've only seen whites/blues in it).

perhaps an assasin/ritualist rune will appear,

no it won't...

its just a rune...

My guess would be one of the enemies in chapter 2 is gonna drop Jade Gorgets. You just got lucky with this drop and not only got one, but got one with a potential sup rune on it. Most likely a 'normal' rune though, not a rit or a one (never know though )

This is assuming everyones rumours about finding Chapter 2 weapons aren't just rumours of course.

My guess would be to frikken ID it!!!

once identified it summons into a jade minion that will follow you like a pet..and you can return or let it out whenever you double click it.. identify to see what traits it has.. dire/hearty/etc..

or just ID it already... if no screenie bet this thread will be closed for photo chopping.

Ive had plenty of them, just go to dread chest

gorget
"armor for the throat," 1470, from O.Fr. gorgete, dim. of gorge "throat."

being that it has the same basic root:

gargoyle
"grotesque carved waterspout," 1286, from O.Fr. gargouille "throat, waterspout" (see gargle).

It would only stand to reason that it's a gargoyle drop from pre-searing Ascalon...a VERY rare gold drop, usually only seen in the Catecombs whilst under the influence of Hunter's Ale.

---------------------OR--------------------------

Being that it's French, it is a drop from the yet-to-be-seen boss: Pinkus Sissyfoot. A terribly ferocious creature of the Underworld with the Elite Skill: Bitchslap, which renders an enemy dazed for 30 seconds, followed by a new condition: Vomiting, where your character cannot attack for an additional 15 seconds if already suffering from the condition: Incontinence.

I would salvage it before identify it.
