pretty sure they forgot to add the mini to the dungeon chest, no proof.....
-
steph forgot to add the minis in chest like it was the case with glacial blade imo
:trollface:
You didn't know where to look, maybe if you do 10 full clear of the dungeon, in HM, during a full moon night, the 666th foes will drop you one of the new minis
I tried this, it did not work
-
Do we have data to compare whether the drop pool is the same before and after the quest chain? :p:p
I'm running the dungeon with a character who hasn't completed any quests related to Althea or the new update. So far, I haven't noticed any difference in the chest.
still bad insc drops and no mini pets?

Really? Because ideas like new creature inscriptions and putting items from one expansion into a foreign expansion feels more like a different reality.
Don’t get me wrong, I’d love Varney to drop me some Echovalds with vs Charr, but that doesn’t seem an idea worth taking the time to wish for and certainly not on the dev’s minds’.Yeah, judging by the drops they wanted exclusively Proph items. However, EotN already drops stuff originally from all 3 campaigns so it's not like it would be unprecedented to have a kinda-similar thing in the only Proph dungeon.
But I think what they probably did was dump all the Proph items in a database - regardless of origin or "rarity" or whatever - for the dungeon loot to pull from, which is how we ended up with the gold crytas. It was likely a function of what was easiest for them, and there probably wasn't a ton of thought involved. And along those lines, has anyone gotten a gold Ball Hammer yet?
saw gold OS one in presear
dropped 4 friend of mine!~ -

Hello, Guild Wars Legacy
My name is Kyle — Kyle The Savage, KTS, whatever you know me by.
This is going to be a long post, multiple sections I have a lot to say about my Guild Wars story, and I want to tell it right. My hope is that by the time you finish reading, you feel even a fraction of the love and inspiration this game gives me every single day.
Where It All Started
I first laid eyes on Guild Wars at a friend's house in 6th grade. He handed me the Prophecies manual — that thick, beautiful thing — and I just sat there, flipping through the profession pages, studying the armor designs, reading how each class played. Eventually he let me make a character. I rolled a W/Mo, ran around Pre-Searing for a couple hours, and that was it. I was hooked.
I'm 34 years old now. I never really stopped playing.
PvP and Finding My People
I fell in love with PvP early. I played in countless GvG and HA sessions with [Tru] Tremendously Underrated, and became completely addicted to Random Arenas. We managed to break the top 100 at various points throughout the years, and those sessions are some of my best memories in this game.
But the person who shaped my Guild Wars experience more than almost anyone else was a guy named Shorty. (By the way — if anyone owns the single-name character 'Shorty,' please PM me.) Shorty was a 40-something-year-old man from Mississippi with a thick southern accent. I was a mature-for-my-age 14-year-old from California. On paper it's a strange partnership. In practice, it was perfect.
The OG Black Widow Spider Charm Runners
The main way I built wealth in Guild Wars was through a service that Shorty and I created together. We were the original Black Widow Spider charm runners. We figured out early on which quests in the Underworld gave access to the Black Widow pet — which was extremely sought after at the time — and to my knowledge, we were the first players in the game to offer this as a service.
I had a post on the old GuildWarsGuru forums with hundreds of positive reviews that I'd refer people to so they knew we weren't scammers. At 20k–25k a run, we were doing 10+ spiders a day for well over a year. If Shorty and I helped you cap a Black Widow, I would love to hear from you in the comments. ❤️
Shorty doesn't play much anymore, but we're still connected through Facebook. Some friendships outlast the game that made them.
The Power Trader Era
The spider money was real — especially back then, when not everyone was sitting on hundreds of ecto. And that's when the power trading started.
But I didn't just dive in blindly. Before I bought a single thing, I studied the market. I spent hours reading trade chat in Kamadan, just watching. And after enough hours, you start to notice patterns. I realized quickly that Guild Wars has no trade tax — so as long as you sold something for even slightly more than you paid, you profited. That's still true today, of course, but back then the market was wilder and the opportunities were everywhere.
I started a guild called Quality not Quantity [QQ], made up of close friends who traded alongside me — many of whom I'd originally met in Kamadan doing deals and who slowly became part of the inner circle. QQ worked as a team, and honestly, I probably absorbed most of the benefit. I was able to accumulate a massive amount of wealth, and again — this was early enough in the game's life that that kind of wealth was genuinely rare.
The Zaishen Title and Teh Axe
When the Zaishen title was released, I — along with many other big traders — raced to stockpile zkeys and finish it. I wasn't the first by any means, but I was without question in the top 10 players to achieve Zaishen rank 12, and I did it roughly 4 days.
I collected all kinds of incredible items along the way. OS weapons, q8 items, things most players only dream about. But there was one transaction that stood above everything else.
I purchased the famed Unconditional r8 Axe, known simply as "Teh Axe."
If you know, you know. It is, without question, the #1 holy grail item in Guild Wars history. I used it on my main Warrior, and let me tell you — it felt like I had beaten the game. My character held and swung the single rarest, most legendary item Guild Wars has ever produced.
But here's the thing. If you've been around this forum or the old GuildWarsGuru, you probably know Krompdown and Kabong's collection. They have the incredibly noble goal of preserving Guild Wars history through the items they maintain. After carrying Teh Axe for a while, I truly felt that it belonged as the centerpiece of their collection — not sitting in my inventory. Kromp and I made a deal, and Teh Axe has been with him ever since.
We've been friends ever since, too.
Moving On — Sort Of
After selling Teh Axe and finishing my 6th GWAMM, I felt like I'd done everything I set out to do. I was a freshman in college, Guild Wars 2 was right around the corner, and I was ready for the next chapter.
When GW2 launched, I dove right in. I was a strong PvP player in GW1 and couldn't wait to try GvG in the sequel — only to discover it wasn't a game mode. How can the game be called Guild Wars with no Guild Wars?
For those who don't know, the GW2 GvG community proceeded to exist anyway, without official support, and still does to this day. I joined Everything Purple [EP] as one of the main warriors, and we became one of — if not the most — notorious GW2 NA GvG guilds, period. I streamed our GvGs and raids for years on Twitch. If you recognize me from GW2 or EP, please say hello in the comments!
But even during the GW2 years, GW1 was always there. Was I logging in every day? No. But I was still maintaining my guild, still popping in to say hello to friends I'd known for over a decade. You don't just leave this game behind. It's part of you.
Coming Home
GW2 GvG declined significantly over the last several years, and that was all the nudge I needed. GW1 has been my main game again for the last three years or so.
I have new goals now. I'm not collecting the way I once did — instead, I've been working on maxing every title in the game, which is an absolutely daunting task. But that's exactly what keeps Guild Wars alive after all this time: the next hunt, the next goal, the next adventure.
Pre-Searing has become my home base for the last 4 years when I'm not grinding titles. Running around Lakeside County never gets old. There's a peace to it that I can't really explain to anyone who hasn't felt it.
20 Years of Merch and a New Party
Throughout all of this — the PvP, the trading, the titles — I've also been collecting Guild Wars merchandise for the last 20 years. I'll link a photo below to show the collection. And if anyone out there has a Shadow of Nayos statue from GW2 — I believe it's the only officially licensed Guild Wars statue I'm missing — please PM me!
And now for the part that means the most.
I'm married now, and my wife and our two kids are playing a 4-person team through Pre-Searing together. We haven't made it to the new dungeon yet — still getting our asses kicked in the Northlands — but God, I wouldn't have it any other way.
Some games you play. Some games become part of your life. Guild Wars became part of mine over twenty years ago, and it's still writing new chapters.
See you in-game. ❤️
Kyle
