I want to know if other people have had such a luck I had the other day near Gates of Kryta... Found a nice chest there, took out the Key and opened it and found a purple axe:

***

Battle Axe

Slashing Damage: 5-11 (Req. 1 Axe Mastery)
Damage +11%
Health Regeneration -1

***

I was astonished... this uber-item was priceless!

Nobody can ever get any worse thing! I had better white stuff at pre-searing! And this was purple... which usually means it's above average power level.

Let me know (and possibly see/buy) if you have found more uber-rare items in the game.

Yep agree this is most usless as there are no soul reaping skills.

True, but what will the future bring to us? Expansion is on it's way and I believe there will be Soul Reaping Skills coming up quite soon. That axe will not be of any use now or in future.

Some necros switch around between Death/Curses/Blood but always keep Soul Reaping, which makes this item useful for the +12 energy. Some people don't have time to collect the offhand Death/Curse/Blood items, so this item guarantess the +12 energy. It's useful...

except for the fact that there are no soul reaping skills whatsoever. so you have a 20% chance of casting something that does not exist faster. and for said non-existent skill to recharge faster as well.

so, i agree that this item is useful for +12 energy. however, the other bonuses are pretty much useless.

A while ago i got a healing anhk Enegy 12 (GOLD), so i identified it (thinking that i might get a good amount of money for it)

Healing Anhk
Healing prayers (req. 8)
Energy 12

Armor +4 (while hexed)

-5 energy

What is Guild Wars thinking, why would they even implament this sort of item upgrade, if its -50 health (it would help builds like the invinci monk) but -5 enegy, i dont think there is a way to make that help at all.

i ended up selling it for 120 gold

that bow is bad anyway you look at it

-67attack speed is more then tigers fury could do to make it faster, with tigers fury it'd make it -31 attack speed

its a longbow so it's slower then any other bow

it's 10 points of max dmg

35%always you can get from customizing a weapon that has 15% always with a penelty and have a faster weapon and you don't need tigers fury or frenzy in order to make it somewhat effective

Not quite the right thread, but I've picked up a few max items with Pruning as the mod. Must be the worst mod in the game. +15% vs Plants. Aren't pods and such the only plants in the game? And they're incredibly easy to kill in the first place.

edit: Also, in response to that long bow issue up there... I disagree entirely. If it was max dmg, I'd actually USE that bow. The only time I use my longbow (Storm Bow in my case, but same difference) is when I'm drawing a mob into aggro, before switching to my Short Bow for the actual fight. Getting +50% (Customize too) dmg with the only shot I use the bow for sounds alright to me.

pruning is an upgrade
the bow isn't max dmg, we're talking about the worste item in the game, if it was max dmg some people would use it and you'd get 1 shot most likely before anything during pve or pvp got to you

With TF and IWAY up you could just about negate the penalty...

If it was a Shortbow and max damage I'd use it all the time with TF/Frenzy and IWAY +55% after custom all the time would be pretty devestating.

why would you use these skills just to make a bow that isn't max dmg half decent, iway still wouldn't make it worth it to have that skill there isn't always dead allies laying around you to be somewhat useful you might aswell just use a normal max dmg longbow with no +dmg on it and make you shoot faster and have the same dmg output

Worst item in the game that ive found has to be a max holy staff from south shiverpeaks chests.

stats:
+10 energy
11-22 fire dmg (req 13 divine)
increase casting on soul reaping skills (9% chance)
increase skill recharge on fast casting skills (10% chance)
+1 energy
+17% dmg to plants

This has to be the most useless staff in the game seeing as i cant be a monk.necro/mes primary and only having divine with ANY skills that the mods could affect. and being a monk, im not really attacking so i dont need a staff wrapping of pruning

you can, however, do gardening pretty quickly and effectively with that staff.

back in my newb days i bought a gold hammer that was

vampiric shining maul of warding(gold)
19-35 req 10
dmg +18% when health below 50%
life stealing 4
amr +5
and then...
health regeneration -1

ya i thought it would just be for when im being healed so instead of getting 3 from mending i would get only 2 but i was rong
this maul basicly will kill u with a constant < to ur health

because im poverty and cant afford anything btr i have to use this weapon and have to keep blood renawel contantly pumping to keep my health up

Umm... all vampiric mods have health degen -1. That's (partly) compensated by the fact that you do damage while attacking. Normally with a relatively fast attack rate weapon (a bow frinst) and a high vampiric bow (+4/-1 or +5/-1) you can usually about break even on health.

I think gou's scroll is presently the worst item I've ever seen.

I got a charrslaying bow from a charr once O_o

I also got a 1/1 vampiric longbow with +10% dmg always but -1 health regen. I'd say that's pretty darn crappy.

Gold Smiting Rod
Light Dmg:11-22(req 8 smiting prayers)---- max damage + low req is good
Improves Casting speed Inspiration Magic Skills 15%---just ok
Improves skill recharge Death Magic Skills 19%---better

Be nice if you could be three professions????
Smiting-Monk
Inspiration-Mesmer
Death Magic-Necro

Crazy, but its worth 408 to the merchant. Looks like i'll be selling to him.

my friend spammed for days looking for a fiery dragon sword of charr-slaying. and he finally found a gold max damage one and bought it. he carries it around everywhere just because of the sheer novelty of it.

I actually had an item that was +4 energy, +4 armor, -5 energy. I forget if it had qualifiers on it, but I equipped it just to make sure that the thing gave me one less energy. It did. Just goes to show that the item maker program does make "cursed" items that are useless.

I would rather chests and stuff not have these useless items.
