Remember that ugly girl Sanyi you had to follow and kill to complete Hero's Challenge? While doing that quest yesterday I noticed a very strange thing. As you might remember, she stands right outside Copperhammer Mines. I didn't have that on the map so I took the henchies and fought my way form Iron Mines. We came to the portal, I saw her standing there, but went in the town just in case something bad happens. Then I went outside again to complete the quest and noticed that she had a different sword . Strange... I decided to do a little research and rezoned about 30-40 times to check that out... Here are the results:

Of course, after some time swords began to replay. I was hoping to see her with a crystalline , but eventually got bored and finished the quest.
She also changed her offhands. She usually had a monk focus (divine simbol or protective or healing icon), but 2 or 3 times she had a shield.
I searched on the forum but didn't find anything about that. As far as I know, there are no other NPCs that change their weapons so I thought you might find this interesting. Maybe not worth creating a new thread, but yeah...

Oh man... I just checked some collectors and yes they also change their weapons... Stupid me . I can't believe I never noticed that before. I'm so disappointed now...
Thank you natus.

The pipe-smoking sanyi model is the same as the Blood Sworn Bandits in pre-searing.

Regarding NPCs and shields, I noticed that the dwarves in droks were using skeleton shields during the halloween update.

I for one am impressed with your research. I never noticed this in 518 hours playing.
