*gruuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhnt*

Echovald Shield q9str 45wS -2ws -- 5a

Req 9 short sword 15^50 -- 10e

Nevermind. Custo'd

*grunt*

Slow down, old buddy.

I said that it's very rare and that there is no price. I didn't say that the price would end up being astronomical. I said that it's going to come down it whether he feels like he's getting enough.

All I'm doing is repeating myself so you can have another shot at reading my pc.

Reading. It's fundamental.

EDIT: I wish I had more than just one like to give you, Jack. Some fine research there.

Super-rare. There is no price.

Like you said, list it and see where it goes. It's gonna done down to whether you feel like your getting enough. Amazing drop!

Retract, sorry

Agreed. If you're trying to help your fellow GW player *not* make a mistake when buying or selling an item, it's a price check.

This isn't rocket science.

Any information that helps the player get a good price (or at least know when they would be getting ripped off) for their item is a price check.

Come on.

Lemme just lift this yo the top by its eyeballs.

Thanks to everyone who's come up with shields for me.

Some sweet additions lately!

8 months later...bump.

Had to schlep out the shield wagon for this one. Here's a quick peek at part of the heaviest collection in the game.

Just -2/45 stance, 30/-2s, and 30/-5(20). No duplicates, nothing enchanted or hexed, no -2/+10, no attributes or dual reductions. Maybe I'll post those another time.

Just 20 shields you probably shouldn't try to lift

Teh There's an idea for a collection I haven't heard before. Big fan of the nature theme. Do you think you'll eventually expand into Echovalds and bramble bows?

Very nice, Hyndzy.

It's an underrated skin (imo) and classic with the tower/defender (nice one of those, too!).

Man, I thought we were in for some game-changing $hit when I saw the title of this thread.

Put them out there. All you need are a couple of weirdos who share a fetish for sparkly shields that require minimal intelligence.

Oh god, I remember Nabil trying to scan me. Here's been at this for a long time.

Retract.

Too many anonymous "bids". That's an old game. I'll let the kiddies play.

50e shadow shield

500e bladed

Retract

A blast from the past.

I didn't have this screenshot saved anywhere anymore, so I was happy to find it back on page 8 of the collections thread in the Guru archive.

So many things we may never see again

:Shields like this belong with only one guy, but maybe others will pay for the chance to be like him, even if it's just a little.

Quote from Woo

A cheeky 18.000 gold coins on the Ornate Shield.

Woo

I assume this is a fake bid

But I'll throw 19k at this beast anyway

16k ornate shield

100e req 13 outcast shield

100a on the req 13 magmas

50a req 13 magmas

Absolutely top notch stuffs.

b/o stance outcast

Yuko, you'll be happy to hear that our little guild turned 11 just a couple of days ago. There's nothing in GW that I'm prouder of than [PhD] -- and that's for no other reason than the people who have made it what it is (sorry, OS T...feel free to dislike). Thank you for being such an exemplary part of it for so long. I remember that conversation about dragon staves, I remember how you sniffed out my necro's name, I remember very clearly being excited about the idea of you joining the guild, and I remember being so happy for you when you started building your epic fire collection. It was absolutely insane running into you in D3. There, you were the master and I was the pleb. We've explored some bizarre worlds together. I hope someday we get to return to Tyria for real!

Quote from zxc

...rivaled by a 15^50 version, personally i'd prefer the stance version.

+1 for this.

I've never scammed anyone

I don't think anyone is defending the seller. As I said, the argument is there to be made that this is a scam because he lied when he said that the price being offered was fair.

But I'd also argue that, by that point, the ship had sailed. The seller had already committed to selling for that price (without any reassurance as to the fairness of the price) and was just getting some last minute cold feet.

I'm not defending the buyer (although I am a fan of getting a good deal). I'm just not blaming the buyer. There's an important difference between defending and not blaming.

+1a

I don't remember the first time I met Kabong, King of Hammers. Neither of us had a nervous system at the time.

I have so many great memories from this game. I remember the feeling of being on an epic journey. I remember the awe of seeing new places and the wonder with which I imagined what those players in the fancy armor and magnificent weapons must've seen and survived.

I wanted to go. I wanted to try. I wanted to become.

I remember crossing the Maguuma Jungle with the Captain for the first time. He was a full wammo sword tank. Glad's defense, Bonetti's, healing breeze, mending, the whole thing. Tactics jacked up, no actual sword skills...and, of course, no rez sig. I remember soloing the jungle with my party dead on the ground, chipping away at everything 1 point at a time as my auto-attacks worked their glacial, inevitable magic. The chat window scrolled with my party members gawking at Kromp in his ineffective invincibility.

Then I met my doppleganger. I couldn't kill him. I put my first points into strength and never looked back. I was on my way.

There are many memories from my time in GW. I've been lucky to be surrounded by the finest collectors in the game (EK's screenshots of a sampling of [PhD] officers is testament to this). But what will always come first when I look back on my time is just that - that feeling. That is the most valuable thing this game has given me and I'm grateful for that.
