    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...

    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
    - Any weapon with an unconditional inherent damage mod, eg. +14% damage with no negatives
    - Any GOLD staff with a requirement of 0
    - Any staff whose HSR mod is written in GOLD text.
    - Any staff which misses HSR Mod completely, also applies to whites and blues or purples)
    - Any Grim Cesta with a healing requirement. These only come in blood magic now.

    Any Shields
    - Any shield in r7 with 16 armour regardless of mods
    - Any shield with two inherent [reduces physical damage received by X] mods (aka Dual Reduction).
    - Any shield with a [received physical damage -3(10%)] mod. (including non-max mods)

    Specific shield skins in r8/16 non-inscribable (OldSchool) only

    This Applies to Golds and Purples only, Blues and Whites are still possible EXCEPT For Tyrian skins in purple like Magmas, Summit Warlord Shield and Stone Summit Shield are possible to drop in r8/16 From the Keyless chest in Sorrow furnance (Same place can drop Purple q8 crystalline swords)

    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.
