some days ago i got 2 new focus items for my monk.
i dont think theyre verry good tho since one only helps on healing, and the other gives a -1 mp regen.

does anyone know if there is better foci somewhere? a collector or a drop someone got? a picture would be nice to

Err... How exactly is 20% chance of Fast Cast/Fast Recharge "not very good"? Unless you play Smiting/Protection Monk that would be very desirable bonus. I know I would keep it.

I KNOW the lower one is a collectors item (made out of 5 frosted griforn wings that some buy for 50 each), and i think the upper one is a collectors item also, but im not sure (made in the desert?).

This means the raw materials for thoose almost godly items are barely worth 500 gold, and if you payed more than 3k for it you got scammed.

Nevertheless they fullfill a purpose, they are cheap, relatively easy to get, powerfull, great for thoose that dont spend all their free time on this game and THEREFORE they are worth more than 500k.

people that have too much time spend it in selling thoose collectors items everywere to peoples that dont have the time for such, but the money just goes down an overpriced rune or 15k armor, SO WHAT.

I want foci like that for my necro and ele. And yes, they are pretty much the best you can get.

I see no problem paying someone 3k for a hard to get collector's item. You can either spend your time collecting those materials or go to Underworld or PvP and actually have a bit of fun.

I would pay 3k or more for a hard-to-get collector item, such as:
bow with 15% > 50%health
sword 15% > 50%health

I don't know where or what are required to get them.

it will take awhile to collect 5 of the same item unless you solo or buy from other people. i see no problem charging 1-2k for some of these popular items. for real hard to get ones like the collector bows in mineral springs (now u know where ) 3k is fine imo.

There is a bow with 15% > 50% health. Two of them actually. They're both Ascalon Bows, but one definately has the firing speed and range of a shortbow, while the other has that of a longbow. I've tested the shortbow version myself, but haven't personally tested the longbow version.

The collectors for them are both in Mineral Springs. The shortbow one is a collector in the middle of the top route. He/She (forgot XD) stands at the end of a small bridge right after the boss spawn point on the small island off to the top of the route. You need 5 mountain troll tusks to get it.

The Longbow version is close to the respawn point at the far end of Mineral Springs. You need 5 Alpine Seeds to get that one.

The Alpine Seed Ascalon Bow in Mineral Springsis a 15% while health above Composite Bow.
The Mountain Troll Tusk Bow in Mineral Springs is a 15% while health above Short Bow.
The Grawl Necklace Bow in Witman's Folly is a 15% while enchanted Flatbow.
The Azure Remains Bow in Snake Dance is a 15% while enchanted Longbow.
I don't know what the Frozen Shells bow in Lornar's Pass is.

Does anyone know where I can find sword 15% while health > 50%?

and which type of sword has the fastest attack speed?

All swords have identical stats, the only difference is the graphic.

I do not know of any collector that gives out max 15% while health above swords.

Have you ever seen a good Collector bow? NO.

Although collectors in the desert give 1.5k armor for collector items which I like.
