Summit Warlord Shield. Cool as heck - but noone wants one.

Longsword. Although it should really be a two-hand sword.

Air Wand. You know, the standard one, the one with the horse-head. It glows and is animated. Coolness.

Half Moon. Although I guess that's a pretty popular bow. Shadow Bows - now there's a cool looking skin noone wants.

Also, the black warhammer with a golden lion head on the side. Serious-looking piece of kit. I've never liked the mursaat hammers, they look like a coat hanger IMO.

I like Break Hammers. Granted, I also have to max near-perfect stats ones, so I might be a bit biased.

o also like the Hatchet, i know it is the same as a battle axe but when have you ever seen a gold 15>50 Hatchet drop? That would be friggin awsome!

Hehe, I've got myself a perfect ram's hammer.
Unpopular but cool? I'm too much of a bandwagoner to think up of anything except the foehammer.

I hate stormbows, they look so cheap. ZAAAR RANGER WIT'DA'LIGHNTINZ-IN-MA-BOW!?!?! Also, upon reading a post above; Shadow bows look like long burnt terds.

I personally like the generic curse staff, with the green eery glow and bandages.

Wingblades are nice, matches my female warrior very well. Too bad it's not that popular.

I am really amazed at all the people who post extremely popular and trendy items in this thread. The word unpopular is in the title....you didn't even need the OP....

Longsword and spatha are solid. I like the summit axe but that is on the verge of popular.

I like dead bows, though I suppose they're more rare than unpopular.
Most of the stuff I like is the stuff that's popular though. As far as popular stuff that I don't like, I really don't like any of that shiny stuff from fow/uw (except ghostly staves). I mean, my characters look like real people, I want them to wield stuff that looks like real weapons. The shiny stuff just looks out of place.

i realy like the skin of the smiteing staff that you get in ascalon from the krytan ambassador, the one thats a circle head on a stick.....
shame its such a low item, it looks realy good to me, but i cant use it as i never have had a monk primary (i think it needs divne favour to use properly, or is it smiteing prayers? lol)

I have to say, for an UNPOPULAR sword skin, the Wingblade/Butterfly skin is my favorite. I had one of these which I picked up clean for an AGE and really grew attached to it.

I like the Fellblade too... Just kidding!

Wingblades aren't bad. I like the Gladius for the same reason as other people like it- it's just a sword, nothing more. However, it's extremely rare. I like Summit Axes, especially since when I was a newb there was a guy selling near max white weapons in ascalon for like 100gp each. I bought that summit axe and customized it, and never looked back for a LONG time.

Summit Hammers are cool for the "I just hit you with a car engine on a stick" look.

If I remember correctly, the longswords produced by droks crafters use gladius models, so I can't really call it "extrememly rare."

I'm a crystalline sword fan, but due to their rarity (realistically drops only from quest reward chests in FoW/UW/HoH), it won't become too popular without a patch revising its drop rate.

The crafter longsword is gladius? Nice. I'll have to get that.
However, gold gladius's are rather rare- I've seen only a few, and have only had like 1 white one drop for me at most.

Fiery Dragon sword. Its animated and the flames really do move!

But most people would rather just run around with an oversized can opener...
