Seeing again all the pictures, ArenaNet fucked very bad the original color of everything, all the post-nerf ones they simply have the color as if they had been lowered -20 points in luminosity, it's horrible, they have destroyed the color of all the weapons.
Look at the Kepkhet's Refuge for example, a staff with gold and turquoise motifs, and the post-nerf version it's just a fucking grey stick, it's horrendous.
Hi, for the mossbeard wand, I (almost) dont see any difference between your two pictures :). Is this one pre or post nerf?

Hey there, this one looks postnerf, but I'm happy to confirm in-game. Feel free to message me your IGN
Hi, just came across my old Kunvie's Air Staff, would this be pre-nerf?
Hi, just came across my old Kunvie's Air Staff, would this be pre-nerf?
Based on stats, it would be. I'm curious if it's the missing version though. The color change on Kunvie's is super super subtle. Happy to meet up and confirm which is which.
I have these 2, not sure if they are pre-nerf. Thanks.
Need help with telling apart the ones with subtle visual differences: Rajazan's Fervor, Vera, and Scar Eater.
Would appreciate anyone willing to meet ig to confirm.
It's been about 6 months since the last update but I'm happy to announce another new find! A third version of Siska's Staff was recently found. Thanks for the help! I've added the new comparison image with all 3 versions. All mesmer greens are now accounted for!
Side note: I'm aware users in the UK are now unable to see the images in this thread because they're hosted on imgur. I'm hoping to get them reuploaded another way sometime in the near(ish) future

The wiki shows it differently, with energy+15 at the top, so I know you said this one was unlikely to have a pre-nerf version, but mine doesn't match the wiki.
I also have a TON of other greens, but most seem to match the wiki's stats. I can't really tell the visual difference even when you point it out on ones that only look different, so idk if I have any of those.

Just came back to the game after about 10 years and was looking through my old green weapons. All appeared to be post-nerf except one. It's a Hukhrah's Staff that appears to be the 3rd type where it has the pre-nerf stats order but post-nerf color. I don't know exactly when it dropped but it was likely in that pre-nightfall window. I just found out pre-nerf greens were a thing but this was an amazing thread to find. Is there a market for these things or is it just a novelty? Is there a thread/list of other items besides greens, that are not currently obtainable like old festival items or bugged items?

He should be able to get you sorted out.

Hi, thanks for checking out the thread! It does indeed look like your Hukhrah's is the missing version! I'd love to check it out in-game sometime and I went ahead and added you. I'm happy to double check any others as well just in case.
As for other kinds of items, for sure. The other threads in this subforum will be the biggest help, particularly the other three pinned at the top below this one. There are a few things that need updating thanks to recent changes with reforged, but the bulk of information in those threads remains true.

Hi! Not sure how I missed your post here, so sorry! I get what you're saying about the +15 listed on the wiki for some items. Unfortunately, the way wiki displays these isn't consistent (for various reasons). For numerous items, some entries tend to opt for simplicity rather than displaying what an item actually is. This means turning +10 energy +5 energy into +15 energy. Others that have +30hp +30hp might display on the wiki as +60hp. Now, in game, some are actually +15 or +60, but you kinda have to take what wiki shows with a grain of salt on a case-by-case basis.
I'm down to double check anything you're unsure of though. Feel free to hit me up whenever. I've got you added

Thanks for the reply. That would be great. I added you in game and sent a discord friend request. Won't be on much until after this weekend.
Updated the initial post with new confirmation of the 3rd version of Hukhrah's Staff and a comparison image for all 3 versions
7 more to go! Thanks
