It suddenly dawned on me with the Random drop engine, and our ability to build items so well, if anyone had ever come across or built a copy of a Green Weapon out of a Gold or Purple.
So basically, if you have one, post it up and let us see.
Looking for
- Exact same stats, not similar.
- Same skin if possible, some items don't allow for that
Ever found a Gold copy of a Green?

You can't get an item drop with absolute perfect stats, if I recall correctly.

Could you at least build one? 
If so, should it be worth more than a green?

That's what I was thinking. I mean, somewhere there has to be a Hammer just like the Bludgeoner.
A Max damage Gold Foe Hammer with the natural mod of 15% while Enchanted
then add on the perfect fortitude and sundering mods.

It's possible, I've seen a gold hammer with the same stats as the bludgeoner.

I've gotten ahold of one that I COULD have made like the greens before.

some of the greens are almost impossible to get gold copies of because of some more unique stats like "quick recovery from _____" which are very HARD to find.

And yet, I bought the Bludgeoner for 3K, while the gold hammer would be worth $TEXAS.
Yay supply and demand!

I have a Stinger replication. Its a Gold Poisoner's Bow of Marksmanship, except it happens to be my favorite flavor, a short bow! It is very nice.... I also have the real stinger bow but I dont like it much, it fires too slowly. Feels like im in slow motion. And the range tradeoff for distance is not as good as say an ascalon bow (those things can lob an arrow like you've never seen!) Dont use the stinger much.

You can make some of those green items pretty easily, by starting with weapons at Forge or from chest drops/collector's, however, it is hard to find weapons from drops that still have a low minimum requirement of (lvl 9) like all the greens do.

Gee, req 10? That's horrible! Let me take it off of your hands.

That's why I said absolute perfect I don't honestly know (not having been at every single rare item drop in the game), I think someone posted a reason why a few months back.
Once I had a rare Chaos Axe, I think req 8, with 10% Furious, +30 Health, and no damage mod. I cried.

For the record, I'm not a spammer.
And...so people don't think I posted this just to bitch at someone...
I personally don't understand why the hell people go with the whole "a gold item, with the same stats as a green, is worth 49,531,859,037,511,348,865,012k more than the green item." It's like..."I guess...that's ok." I mean sure there's a much greater shortage of perfect golds than there is of green items, but who cares about paying that much for a perfect gold when there's a cheap green copy of it? It's not like anyone else is going to see that you've got a perfect gold weapon, only you see it. Is it really worth the shitloads of money?
Go figure, people are strange. I just grab my green and stay happy.

For Swords/Axes/Hammers, it's easy to get. For the rest: Small chance they ever dropped.

i saw gold shield with the same mods as malignons. dont have war so i'm not sure about req - but mods were same.

You know that green items are copies of collector items, just sometimes with a different skin? I thought I might throw that in there.
Arcanis the Omnipotent
Really? Go find a collectors Domination staff with the same stats as the Willcrusher.
Lasareth
Speaking of that, I really wish the Willcrusher were 20/20 instead of 20/duration.
As it is, it's my fave Domination staff, but it would be -perfect- if it were 20/20

Arcanis the Omnipotent
Also, the duration fits in more with what you think would be an Illusion weapon, given the best way a Mesmer creates a deep wound is with Phantom Pain.
Anyway, since this has been all discussion and no pictures, I think it should either get moved or closed. Oh well.

There are a few reasons people pay more for a gold item over a green item.
1.) Looks: Fellblades, Chaos axes, Eternal bows...etc.
2.) Color: You can dye some of them (especially shields), but cannot dye green items.
However there are some perfect greens that will just sell just as well like the Rago fire staff, Razorstone,...etc.

Sorry, my bad, I know some are the same as collectors items, but others are different. Take Grognar's Defender, for example, which has the exact same stats as a Crimson Carapace shield found outside of Rankor, I'm pretty sure. I sold it for 40k, when noone would've bought that collector's shield. Maybe the green words turn people on? 
lyra_song
well i have Gronar's shield, and i personally like the skin better much better than the crimson carapace shield.
i also had an aegis with ALMOST the same stats as malinon's shield, which is -2 +23 health :X req 8

In PvP - you "make" your weapon literally - You pick a base weapon from their list, and use alittle scroll bar menu to pick the pre and suffix of it.
