I think a custom theme is on the way...

Standby for Kev Teh Dev to update on that.

Bump.

Because I can.

But we are spam.

Do you need viagra?

Quote from Dave

So I am not quite sure if I did get this right, but Shields with both -2 while Enched and +10 vs Demons can still drop?

Yep. But it's a rare drop, and the DoAsc players will go nuts for it.

I'm not a sticks kind of guy, so I'd wait for a few other opinions, but I'd say the 20e each range sounds about right.

Crikey! That's one of the best chest run drops in a long time. Congrats!

Exactly the same as me. I bought Prophecies about two weeks before Factions came out.

Back then, I had no idea what a huge part of my life this game would become.

No regrets.

Max

Alrighty. Let's get it linked.

Hey t1

If I recall, you're the pre-searing guy. Did you guys find a home yet? I ask because we made you a section all of your own. If the presearing community wants to move in, I'll switch the lights and water on for you.

It's Kabong.

Sup. It's been a while. I've had many good times and have many memories tied up in this game.

Preservation of the history of GW is a commendable goal and I congratulate the men and women of this site for contributing to this in whatever way they can. So much has already been lost to bans, hackers, bots, cheats, thieves and time but the richness (and many riches) of this game still survive, so let's enjoy.

I'll bring the hammers and my rocking chair.

Kabong old chap!! Welcome on board. Give your brother a kick in the shins to register too...

Yep. I have another thread on guru about when the nerfs happened.... I'm working on transferring it..

These are for sale:

1. SOLD
2. C/O 50e. R/B is a lot more.
3. C/O 250e. SOLD
4. C/O 250e.
5.
6. C/O 300e

There are reserves that will be revealed with enough interest. Once a reserve is met, the item will be sold to the highest bidder if 48 hours pass with no further bid.
I reserve the right to sell these ingame or not at all.

You know what to do.

I thought it might be helpful to collate a list of stats we know to be Pre-Nerf.

An item is considered Pre-Nerf if it cannnot drop any more. In other words, the possibility of the game generating these stats or items has been physically removed by the coders at Anet, mainly 2005/2006 around the release of Factions. The only way to acquire Pre-Nerf items is through trading with other players.

This is a list of items which in my opinion are truly Pre-Nerf (and the purpose of this thread is to confirm and add/remove stat ranges in order to establish a definitive list). I haven't included Triple Modded items or Mausoleum items because those are considered bugged, not Pre-Nerf.

These are known to be Pre-Nerf:

Any weapons
- Any weapon in r7 with max damage regardless of mods (also non max damage Sword r7 above 14-21 damage, or axe above 6-25 damage, Hammer above 18-32 damage)
- Any FACTIONS or Tyrian NON INSCRIABLE staff with a restoration requirement.
- Any FACTIONS wand with a restoration requirement[/font]
- Any r8 staff with max (11-22) damage
- Any r8 axe with max (6-28) damage
- Any r8 hammer with max (19-35) damage
- Any r8 bow with max (15-28) damage

If you have any threads on the original guru site, begin the process of transferring them over here. We don't have long until they pull the plug, so get moving and migrate across. Builds, maps, mission guides, screenshots.... Bring them all!

If there's a section to be created for them, let us know.

I want to gather dual reduction shields, one of each requirement per skin. So if you have one that you don't want or need, get in touch and I hope we can work something out. The skin isn't important, although the rarer the better.

If anyone decides that would like to lend me one for the collection, you have my word that it will never ever be sold, and you can have it back at any time.. Bit like when you lend your Monet to an art gallery.

I'm not actually expecting anyone to lend me any shields btw. I'm not dumb

So I want any skin and any req but preferably r7-8, and with any combo of these mods:
-2 ench
-2 stance
-2 hexed
-3 hexed
-3 (10%)
-5 (20%)

Like these that I already have:

In an homage to the original beloved collections thread, post your collections here, past and present. With the loss of the guru site, let's repopulate Pleikki's iconic thread with all of the history that will be lost when guru is taken down.

I'll go first this time, with part one of my collection of Pre-Nerf Dual reduction shields.

Magmas Shield

Summit Warlord

Stone Summit Shield

Tall Shield

Defender

Tower Shields

Eternal Shield

Crude Shield

You can now clearly see which pieces I am missing, and also which duplicates are still available.
