The truth about Pre-Nerf

Quote from Unholy

When you say current/postnerf, do you mean post-deathbane bug fix? I've mentioned it somewhere on Legacy before, but shortly after (within the first week or so) of the weapon contest skins being added to the game, I managed to pull a req9 emerald blade from kathandrax. To my surprise, it had no inscription...and it also had a deathbane mod.

These update notes from 2008 refer to this old bug.

Nowadays, of course, I regret having sold it back then (for 100k+100e, a mere fraction of what a correct one would've been at the time), but it's out there somewhere. I may have a screenshot of it on an old flash drive, but that will take some digging. Will get back to you on that.

But I was under the impression that this sort of bug could still happen? Maybe not exclusively with/because of a deathbane mod, but just in general? Is that not the case?

Edit: I assume this is what happened to the Obsidian/Runic Pleikki mentioned as well.

Ah yes, good call, this definitely sparked an old memory, I can see this being the root cause to some of the more rare skins and potentially the more common ones as well.

Not to lose track of the original OP's question.....

Quote from Montrell

Has anyone had a Naked Sword drop for them that would only normally drop in insc? Or is that still up for debate

It obviously is still up for debate lol, but from a "drops today" perspective, this is one of those things I think we would all want to see happen in front of our own eyes to be able to confirm the possibility (and if it does, maybe the deathbane issue was never fully resolved).

I think there was also clean eternal blade. Possibly with tooburns

i dont remeber having that sword, i probably just finance it for zephyr that's it.

But yeah ... zephyr is MIA for over 3 years now even on facebook he doesn't exist anymore

@Montrell

Buried in old screenshot's from 2008. I remember being offered it and 100e was slightly cheaper than a regular one at the time. Never hit accept, big regrets. But at least we got a first hand photo of such an item

Anybody know where this ended up?

Is this a Pre Nerf Staff?

I've had it for as long as I can remember and has no HSR.

Yes it is. Both the lack of the white HSR text at the top and the 15% HCT inherent mod are clear indications.

Thanks, while the stats suck, I stopped from merching it multiple times , stopped because it looked unlike anything else.

I buy those few months ago and can't find any info about the second one, can someone enlighten me ?

For the 1st it was the prenerf version of this one https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Minaar%27s_Trouble

Thanks

can you mod the second with the standard prefix and suffix hammer mods on top? is ene and hp actually in effect when equipping it? nice items!

I heard there had been a HoD hammer (way less popular than the HoD sword) - could this be the one?

Just found this on one of my hero.

So I was able to find this old guide from 2005, and it does have the reward from Shiverpeak Stragglers being a q5 13-20 War Hammer. It doesn't list out the stats unfortunately, but I suspect it is from this quest.

No, that is not the HoD hammer. The only one I know of is in PHD still.

No Bueno my friend. Talked to Razah and he threatened to not play Rt if i took that staff away. Xandra and I are not on speaking terms and Zei Ri, well he only hangout with the cool kids.

Hey !

I guess its collector items but are they pre nerf ?

ty =)

Bone staffs atleast prenerf and probably from collector, and the vamp mod on bow is prenerf, on bow itself since it has no gold value id guess its from quest reward
