New crafting material

Anyone see this one yet? I just got them in the jungle.

Yes, There the new shells, Kinda wierd

Yup I saw it earlier today.

I've seen ppl trying to scam others into believing that they're "New".

They only renamed shells...

What was the point of renaming those?

According to the IGN article on new armors, these shells will be one of the updated components used in a lot of the new armors.

Yeah, I just noticed that my stack of shells in storage now have the new name. Weird.

when i saw it first, i thought zomg new mat! D<

then friend says their just shells >.>

That explains a lot. I was toying around a bit in Old Ascalon with one of my characters and caught hold of one of those from a devourer. So I figured I was just blind and had totally missed an item. Then I'd headed back to Yak's Bend, and upon starting to sell some useless junk, realized I had 15 in my inventory. o_o;;
I'm not entirely stupid and oblivious? All right.

I think people were getting them confused with non-crafter shells
eg: Bleached Shells in desert

Even weirder is that if you go kill gargoyles outside Nolani, guess what you might get as drop?
That's right: shells.

Got that yesterday evening.

yeah i got some too

They also removed Monstrous Eye so who have it might b rich soon !!

Are people just stocking up on monsterous items incase they get used in factions armour? They cant raise too much.. i dont think Anet would be that mean.
