I am trying to find at least one dual negative shield for sale, nobody playing now has one for sale

FTFY

I'll take the dragons iridescent

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).

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.

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:

1. Req 8 15% unconditional double-bladed axe
2. Req 8 14% unconditional serpent axe
3. 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.

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.

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.

... a well known and explained bug. Like uncond is, as an example. ...

Unconditionals aren't a bug. They were left here for us as gifts from Balthazar and Melandru themselves.

If you're up late, you might try catching me at the Bone Palace.

If you add up the numbers in the gold values on these 5 shields, you get (from bottom to top):

7, 9, 13, 15, 17

So the stance and hex shields could be an 11 and either a 5 or 19

If you want to work a different tism

My thread may be obsolete and this set is certainly old, but I think this would still suffice in a run in with some large cats in 2026. Happy new years GWL!

Oh man this is beautiful

Happy to have you in my hole, Kyle!

And I'm happy you've decided to reveal your identity. I've had so many people ask me who traded me Teh Axe. I respected your wish to remain anonymous but I'm glad that now you can receive the credit you deserve for the role you played in preserving this piece of Guild Wars history. Thank you for believing in me, my bro, our guild, what we stand for, and how we handle our business. Teh Axe is safe and sound. Perfect and pristine, as it was at its creation ❤️
