Already 4 5 (Forgot about the caster one) OS Gold Crysta for sale just in the top few wts posts. A pair of Krytan Axes and a few Serpents. Probably more than have been for sale in the past 5 years. These items are all going to become merchfood in a few months.

I care in the sense that its a shame to see 20 years of these things being unobtainium reversed overnight. First minipets, then max/gold pre items, now these rare skins. They might as well just add Q7's, Swamp Clubs, Dwarven Axes back to the drop table, put storage in pre, and drop EL Reindeer and Henchmen tonics into the Zaishen chest and lets call it a day. The attitude by some game dev clearly seems to be that everything should be attainable for everyone, so lets just make it so.

What a sad perspective to have. This is their exact point, things should be attainable for everyone, not just veterans of 20 years. With the surge of new players it’s unattractive to have stuff that they could only afford by playing for years. Imagine starting a new game and there‘s a bunch of items that aren’t obtainable anymore and everyone is flexing on you with these cool looking skins/minis. People that are against that are weird entitled beings with huge ego over pixels. Let others have fun too, it’s been 21 years lmao. Thank god they finally add unobtainable items 🙏🏼 praise 2weeks!

Is this not the exact point of inscription based items and why they were introduced in the first place? There already are inscription based Crystalline Swords and they are attainable to a brand new player who puts in a fraction of the effort required to obtain an Uninsc Crysta.

lol is all I can possibly do. These things which were one treasures of the game are going to become commonplace. This didn't take long and the bots probably haven't even gotten to them yet. Can't even argue these are rare drops. These seem to be the designed drops.

Dungeon itself is trivial with a vos spike. It’s like ooze pits, it takes like 7mn for a group and if you farm it during favor in Hard mode… you can also solo it on ranger easily and kill the boss quickly

Then again I’m fine with my inscr version, I don’t care about os items anymore

Doubt anybody will put his hands on these drops atm and they will become very comon fast. I can imagine some people will throw some ectos at them for the sake of the past, but not much more. Obviously thats speculation though.

So my pc is: a few e

hi shaya, sorry for asking but what do you mean by "they will become very common fast"? Have I missed something? thanks and best regards andy

This was one of the rarest skins in GW until a few days ago. Unobtainable for decades. They were added as a drop to new dungeon boss. Now they will no longer be rare.

276g for it

Considering these drops now and they don't seem rare, if this isn't merch food already it's about to be. Real shame.

Quote from Speed Clear Ele

so there's already a caster crysta for sell huh?

Can't wait for them to cost like 100a bc of bots

These drops aren’t even that rare if we’re already seeing multiple of them. Wait til this gets botted… rip to those once great treasures which even though they are treasures will now be worthless.

Called it. Someone on the selling has a q12 +5e OS crysta.

RIP to these ones great treasures.

Even though I am a 99% retired player, I'll chime in as one of the likely few owners of a rare minipet that didn't RMT or bot it and has seen this update. I've owned my Island Guardian (Fern for those of you who have not met him) for probably 10 years now. That means I've had 10 years more to play with my Island Guardian than you have with yours. We've been on adventures all over Tyria, Cantha, Elona, and the North.

Turning to the market for rare minis. I can only assume that last month, there was probably 20 buyers willing to throw away some stupid number of botted or RMT'ed armbraces or dollars for a Mini IG/Panda/Kanaxai/MKG for every 1 owner. And how many owners were selling them? Maybe a couple. But how many people who obtained the minis without RMT or botting were selling theirs? Probably zero. I don't see how this math has changed. Maybe short term, there will be a couple RMT'ers who are hitting the panic sell button, just like people did last week in the stock market. But once all that weak money is flushed out of the system and things stabilize, the supply side of the curve for these minis in tradeable form is going to be similar. There was no reason last month for anyone who owns a Mini IG/Panda/Kanaxai/MKG to sell it. There still isn't this week. Especially given that nothing was done to kill the underlying problem of botting and RMT which is driving the hyperinflation in this game.

Looking to the future. I hope if this update did one thing other than make some people happy, it introduces a little bit of nervousness into RMT'ers that any time your "investment" principle can be at risk. I await some day in the future when this same thing happens to rare tonics and weapons. I see no reason Anet keeps EL Reindeer tonics exclusive when they can add a quest over Wintersday and award an untradeable EL Reindeer tonic at the end. Or create a chest that drops any OS weapon skin at the end of some quest... I think I've heard of a similar chest before ;).

Happy travels. And remember, Guild Wars is a game. It's not real life. Guild Wars items are not investments.

I'm really glad that you are showing some of your stuff after all these years. You may be the only person where I thought 'this guy is a black hole for epic items, but I have no idea what he actually has laying around'. Most other people have shown off their collections whereas yours has more or less been more a mystery to me. I bet there are some truly epic items.

10k. Mostly bidding because I want to ask how this is ‘bugged’. Isn’t it just a bad luck item that dropped with no insc slot? We see BDS’s like this from time to time.

125 globs of ectoplasm on ds1

I just want to say how incredible it seems now that everyone has OS matching 20/20 wands. I remember those wands being so rare I barely ever saw them back in the day. I think I could probably count on two hands how many I saw in like 5 years. Now everyone has one or multiple.

I shake my head.

Dragon staff q9 death. 500 globs of ectoplasm.

Dragon staff q12 divine 20/20 healing - 50 globs of ectoplasm.

Platinum staff q11 domination 20/20 domination - 30 globs of ectoplasm.

I’ll give you 7 ecto for the raven staff q12 fire 20/10.

I’ll give you 500 pink snot balls for the staff. Why not.

Since I’m poor and don’t care about money anymore and don’t have much, I’ll start the bidding at 50e for the magnificent dragon staff that I couldn’t even buy for 3000e 5 or 10 years ago when ectos and dragon staves were worth something.

RIP.

Quote from Agent Chevy

I don't buy UNID shields myself but isn't it intriguing to think you could potentially get a whole batch of dual modded 2^Ench 10vsXXXXX shields???? Yes, the 2^Ench can be tested but seems like much more of a pain than testing for +HP.

The only thing that can be done here is the general education that unid shields can be tested, surprisingly it isn't a known fact for all players, just not something everyone has been exposed to or had the pleasure of learning.

To sum it up, it's buyer's risk even though not recommended, but if you want to help line someone else's pocket as they are more likely to profit than you, it's your money being used.

I don't think that's very likely because you can also test for -2 enchant. Just go take some damage from some foes with a -0 ench and a -2 ench shield and you should see a difference of 2 on average. I recall trying that in the past and you can see a difference. But it was a long time ago.

The +10's would be a pain in the butt to test for, but it can be done.

Frankly, I'd assume that anyone selling rare skin unid shields already knows the mod combination on them isn't anything worthwhile. And I'd extend that to any unid anything. Anything can be tested. Staffs, swords, shields, etc.

Quote from tire town tuff

was just a curious seller, as they were at one point a pretty reputable trader, guess not anymore

Yeah I strongly believe that people shouldn't be allowed to sell rare skin unids here, as I've voiced previously. Want to sell them 1k each? Go for it. Want to try to get buku dollars suckering someone into a thinking they have a chance at an XXX a shield? That shouldn't be allowed. It's too easy to test these items. It's not a fair game when the seller has more information than the buyer. In blackjack, the casino doesn't know what card is coming next. The casino gets a small edge. But testing the shields before selling them would be like if the casino knew the next 5 cards.

Another exceptional skin, shame. I had no idea that Obsidian skin Earth Staves dropped in Cantha.... I always thought they were Tyria only.

I remember the Obsidian skin Earth staff being a really rare drop and for years I remember only really knowing 1 person who owned a 20/20. Now all of a suddenly they seem like they have become almost common. Multiple q9's for sale recently here and a q11. Where are they coming from? Obviously someone made a bot. But what is dropping them?

I guess I'm wrong. Go with the other PCs. Congratulations OP. Definitely something I would have just merched. TIL.

I agree with the above poster. It's gonna take longer to sell that holy vial for 2-3e than it's worth though, I'd merch it.

This is an item I would merchant. 124g. Maybe someone will come along and pay you more, I don't know.

These things are botted to death, as I'm sure you know. So basically whatever someone will give you. You're probably gonna have to find someone that's looking for it.

Marchhhhhhhhhh. There's one guy who buys naked items. So either whatever he will pay, or whatever the merchant will pay.
