Even if you consider henchman tonics 1:1 (I consider them 1:40), they were still guaranteed to be produced. A guaranteed 1:1 will never be rarer than a 1:1 that wasn't guaranteed to be produced.
Rarest/most expensive items in the game right now?
-
-
yeah in total 1:40 but as in unique henchmen was only 1:1 and i bet some would go for more than others as well most likely
-
Maybe just bring back 1 of each of the banned ones to get them back into the game atleast, but yeah not sure how people would claim them if they'res no event anymore
quest like for miniatures. You can transform client side with toolbox into any model anyways..
But then all the people, who didn't own any anyways, are going to complain. They are a minority, so can be ignored though.

Saw someone looking for an unded panda for 10k a the other day. Aren’t there more expensive minis like unded kanaxai?
-
i am still trying to find one but yeah unded kanaxai is like a myth it seems, think 3:1 Undeds for Unded Kanaxai i would think but even then i don't think anyone would do it even for kanaxai tbh they all seem super rare, that's me trying to buy for 10ka atm
-
Nice! Good to know. Yeah I saw 10k arms in game and I said to myself “holy crap how does one get 10k arms in general”… 😂
What do you think the price of Kanaxai vs Ceteradon is? -
yeah i had alot of pre nerfs i sold off recently after coming back after 20 years, alot more yeah lol
-
Got it! Smart investor! So back to the original question: most expensive item IN GAME live today would be dictated by availability, correct? So if there is an unded polar bear available that might be it, but if an unded kanaxai became available from a returning player, that would for sure be the staple, right?
-
I think even polar bear wouldn't be rare in any case since you can still get them anything that you can't get anymore would always be a sight over things you can still get, even if polar bear is really hard to get through rng still obtainable and it seems still valued alot less than current drops for items as well most of the time
-
The only place I’ve seen one for sale is online via guildwars marketplace shops or the Black Market Shop for like $120.
-
People selling unded polar bear for 90-100a all the time in kamadan, and i wouldn't mention any Rmt things here no one likes it
-
but if an unded kanaxai became available from a returning player, that would for sure be the staple, right?
Minis and tonics (of any kind) have never been and will never be the most valuable or rarest items. Full stop.

Yeah, but most demanding i would say just not as rare / valuable imo the market is a whole lot bigger for minis, but then again some items come really close as well unded panda went for like 10ka+ in Peqs auction and super rare pre nerf R7s going for alot less still
-
The supply/demand dictates pricing in this game doesn’t it? So technically couldn’t the demand for a mini be way higher than the rarest wep? Personally I haven’t seen an extremely rare OS wep be sold for more than one of the rarest minis, but open to hear of stories of it happening!
-
yeah depending what people would pay in terms of trade value to arms value, both of them will be more value in trade than in just plain arms
-
I think the issue is that you're focusing on things with prices when there are items that are literally priceless.
You're talking about sales when there are items that people just won't sell.
There are items that have, for good reason, only been available in sale or trade once or twice (or a small handful of times) in the entire history of the game. Those are the rarest, most difficult-to-acquire items in the game. The answer you're looking for is there.

Yeah i saw your collection on the GW collectors really nice items, wish i had stuck to trading more in the past only traded for about 8 months total have like nothing compared to you
Also GW 1, Swg, WoW are the only games that have really created legacy non obtainable items from the past that i've played -
Fay I appreciate the kind words but it's not about me. If I remember correctly from way back in the day, you have some top-notch stuff.
The items I'm talking about are scattered across the collector community. People have their favorites. I think it would be difficult to get consensus, although I personally think that the answer is pretty obvious (I guess that's what it means to have a favorite!). My point is that we can't really answer this question by talking about markets because there's a whole class of items for which there is no market.
I understand that, for some people, this means that those items aren't worth considering (or remembering, thinking about, or even having knowledge of...take a spin around Reddit 😆) but, to my mind, if there's an answer to this question, it's in that class of items.
-
Yeah true its whatever you like most is what counts in the end really what i loved mostly was hammers and minis so when i came back i basically sold off nearly all my other pre nerfs to be able to get the minis i never would have gotten back then instead, and 100% for sure will never finish the hammer collection now a days just to rare for most of them even the easier ones from before seem quite rare as well so i'm going to try and complete the unded mini collection minus the kanaxai sadly lol

I love this answer and thanks for it! What would you say are the top five items or things that land in the priceless category?

Well, from my perspective, I can give you 3 for sure. For most of my guild wars life, I was told (in different ways and for different reasons) all about 3 items that represented the absolute best of the best:
- Req 8 15% unconditional double-bladed axe
- Req 8 14% unconditional serpent axe
- Req 8 30/-2s magmas
These were 3 mythical, legendary items that were always pointed to as evidence of how far noob collectors like me had to go before we could hope to match the glory of the all-time greats. I think ppl can argue about the others but I think any list without these 3 on it isn't a serious list.
-
Are there any pictures of them that exist?
-
since this item doesn't seem to get mentioned nearly often enough among the three Kromp listed, here is the greatest hammer (and perhaps unconditional?) in existence. I'm partial to hammers though.
PostThe Lay of the Fiery Foehammer
Hello Fellow Adventurers,
I recently joined these boards and wanted to contribute to some of the excitement and history around unconditional weapons. The game was kind enough to grant me a 15% unconditional r8 hammer while running around the Crystal Desert in the first weeks after launch. I have treasured this weapon since 2005, and thought I would share it with you all. I did not realize there was such a vibrant collector community until only recently. Thank you for all you do to preserve our…Miss PronunciationJuly 17, 2021 at 10:19 PM -
Was the unconditional a glitch?
-
Was the unconditional a glitch?
according to herbalizer and spun, yes. occurred on DV/DZ inherent weapons and when another modifier like sundering was added to the weapon, the conditional inherent modifier disappeared as if it overwrote the -1 vamp/zealous and left the damage being unconditional.
-
What you're describing was a glitch but what you're describing doesn't account for all unconditionals. Iirc the "fake" unconditionals don't exist anymore..
For reference: https://archive.guildwarslegacy.com/thread?id=1044…=2#post-5172380
For anyone who was confused last time I mentioned this on another thread: Unconditionals weren't a glitch.
It's up for debate whether or not they were left for us as gifts by Balthazar and Melandru themselves.
-
Sasha 100% agree about the hammer. I only left it off because 1) I thought I should leave room for non-unconditionals. Otherwise, the whole thread just arrives at the answer that's been obvious all along: unconditional weapons are, as a group, the rarest and most difficult to obtain items in the game and 2) not everyone feels like you do about hammers (although I do know one guy).
-
I believe the title of this thread should be treated as 2 separate questions, and will always vary based on personal opinions
Most expensive? I would agree with Captain Krompdown that unconditionals would fit that spot perfectly (Teh Axe
)Rarest? So many to pick from but for me personally a q7/16 guardian of the hunt would be the rarest. Was certainly possible at one point but there is 0 recorded to my knowledge (hope to see one pop up and prove me wrong!) compared to several unconditional weapons recorded

Unded Kanaxai seems like a myth now too as well

Unded Kanaxai seems like a myth now too as well
The day before the 20th anv, there was 4-5 Kanaxais on display in Kama.
A guild memeber had one, but I never confirmed if it was ded or not. I assume they were all ded as I think people would know about it.
A friend of mine acquired a kanaxai around the time HoM was released. I assume he ded it as he was one of the first to get higher levels KoBD titles.....hate to think there is a kanaxai just sitting still in his inventory after all these years.
-
I have yet to see any of the OS dual negative shields for sale lately or req7 swords, both I've owned and sold on GW Guru(yeah regret now of course). Req 7's will always get massive arms sales even now
-

everything gets massive arms sales, especially now as with time the amount of arms in the game increases🤖

wow that's crazy must have been planned for that then lol

- Unconditionals, more like Un-attainable, no one would give one up unless offered an obscene amount of money irl and cares enough about the game
- Req 7 perfect weapons
- Req8 15^50 / +5e perf weapons, certain skins should be on par with some req7 prenerfs, Certain Req8 shields land in this tier, some in tier 2, such as Perfect req8 eternals, shadows, magmas, sws and crudes.
- Perfect focuses and wands with matching attributes, non-inscriptable of course, these are actually one of the hardest items to find and rarity only reason it's not higher is because it's not as desired as a martial weapon.
- Dual reductions, these are prenerf and a cool piece to have but they aren't that desired compared to a shield that is actually usable in combat, great paper weight though.
-
I still believe an unded Kanaxai would have more value than any current item in game tbh, minis just always had the most value even 20 years ago

I think the cool factor of those minis dropped alot since anet gave a version of them for free to everyone, so I doubt it
-
Yeah hard to tell minis dropped a ton when they came out but now are rising back up quite a bit pretty fast, there are over 600 Zippys, and zippy went for about 8ka value in trade before the update i heard and still around 2-3k in value now and seems to be going up each time they get traded away
