Triple Mod PvP Shield

Anyone knows how this works? Can't seem to recreate it, I've tried the /bonus shield but can't really change it.

Shield is not mine.

You cannot recreate those shields anymore, but there was some bug/glitch that allowed you to make them earlier and the ones left are still ongame

i belive i was talking with Vizi about this sometime years ago maybe he can tell you more.

Ah bummer Ty for info, that's really OP

Right I still have some. How it worked (many years ago) was that you would create the shield (/bonus), change skin with silver coins, and you could add an extra mod.

Still works with Asian pre-order weapons afaik. I believe Anet only nerfed it for the US/EU pre-order versions.

Regardless, armor is mathematically more beneficial in pvp than an hp increase. So, while neat, not necessarily optimal (Unless the swap to +60 hp is a life saver).

Of course, I was thinking more in line of having an extra +30hp to swap to that your opponent might not have which is an advantage, and as far as I know these bonus shields could be used by PvE chars too and a +60 hp shield would be a very nice swap in speedclears as well.

Was/is this limited to shields or can it be done with weapons too?

Afaik most of the weapons (martials) have an open mod slot that you already can change.

I don't recall any of the PvP weapons having the ability to be triple modified.

The closest thing that exists (other than the Mausoleum triple garbage mods) is https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Anniversary_Axe_%22Engrave%22.

This axe deals cold damage inherently, not as a result of an Icy axe haft. The axe can still be upgraded with a non-elemental damage Axe Haft without removing the cold damage.
