gosh damn I had hoped you wouldn't notice Captain Krompdown
You must've not noticed that I've pissed all over this shield. It's seeped into the cracks and soaked into the leather. It's so much piss that this shield may now actually require 14 str to lift. A corner of the shield sits in a steamy puddle. This shield stinks of piss. It's my piss.

trademeimfamous Who doesn't love some beefy bladed bois? These just came my way the other day.
Yup, safe and sound after a long journey
is that the legendary akh-mas shield?
Teh Makhmas?
Four of the shields in the image below have been on display here for quite some time. Early this morning, they were joined by one important -- and maybe final -- addition.
If this is my final major acquisition, it's hard to think of a better way to go out. Thanks to tire town tuff for working with me on making it happen.
Almost 18 years later and it turns out it was in the cards all along
This isn't one of his caveman shields, but for the intelligent warrior.
A thinking man's shield for sure. Too complicated for me. Here's the one with the beef:
Big heavy one to keep Captain Krompdown appeased. He don't approve of all this lightweight stuff
If you're ready to stop fucking around:
b/o earth crude
Starting to really prefer them in strength req over tactics for some reason
The only thing better than req str is req more str

I'd say the teh axe junior is the greater axe than his big brother such an iconic skin of the holy trinity.
Sure, some even consider Teh Akhxe to be the single best item in the game. I don't agree but I definitely get it. I don't think it's an unreasonable thing to say.
And thanks for sharing your memories of Akh. Maybe someone should start a memorial thread for him now that his ashes have been scattered.
I'm glad you enjoyed seeing this axe again
Just repeating my bid of 2a on the req 13 30/+10 vs undead shadow shield.
Both Cottura9Minuti and fiedel seem to have missed it
Happy Halloween, Guild Wars!

Display MoreI’ve had a blast reading all of this, many trips down memory lane. I’ll share mine with you:
In 2005 I got scammed 60e and 60 obsidian shards in one of the desert missions.
I had just leaned how to run Droks on my W/Mo, with mending of course. I was so proud of myself. I ran it obsessively, making a lot of platinum that quickly turned into ecto. My only goal was to have obsidian armor. Many people I admired in the game that I had met wore obsidian armor. I was so envious and really wanted to be like them.
After I had earned 60e / 60 obsidian shards, I decided I would go into FoW to get the helm and chest. My logic was this: the chest was the most expensive part and I’d get it out of the way, and the helm, in my opinion, is the best warrior helm in the game- it fit nicely with my elite gladiator armor I was wearing at the time. I successfully completed getting these two pieces and continued running Droks for another couple of weeks to save for the other half of my armor.
I finally had my last 60e and 60 obsidian shards and I was in ToA spamming for a group during favor (it was limited because favor was based on who was holding halls) when all of a sudden, a person named ‘Legendary Scorpion’ pmed me saying “hey man, how’d you like to double your ecto and shards? I know a trick”. I said of course bro, that’s a no brainer.
He took me to the desert mission where you walk up to the ghostly and it triggers a cutscene. Before we enter, he goes “this only works if you have no skills on your bar and have no armor on”. Obviously I took my skills off my bar and armor was put into my inventory.
After we began the mission, he says “see that rock? Stand inside of it. This will only work if you stand inside the rock”. I agree and stand inside the rock. He takes off running, out of my sight. I hadn’t really done many of the missions in the desert up to this point so I was really curious and not familiar with what he was about to do to me. (Without me understanding, he ran to the ghostly hero, where he would sit ready to trigger the cutscene). He asked if I was ready, and I said sure. He told me to drop my ectos and shards on the ground and he would start.
The second I dropped my ectos and shards, he talked to the ghostly hero, instantly teleporting me to where he was. I had no skills. I had no armor. I saw him take off in a full run / survival build to retrieve my hard earned ecto. When I realized what was happening, it was too late- I tried to catch up but there was no hope. I eventually died to the devouerer’s that pop up and cripple / bleed you. I see in chat that he picks up the shards, picks up the ectos, and maps out. He put me on ignore.
I was devastated. I was 15 years old, all I cared about was this game (still true kekw). I was heartbroken. Stupid me sent a ticket in (detailing how I planned to duplicate items but got scammed lol) out of panic with screenshots and his character names in hopes of him getting banned / never having others go through what I did. Anet responded by saying “yo mfer it’s illegal to dupe items and we will perma ban you next time if we catch you trying this”. I was shook to my core, and to this day won’t even run toolbox out of fear of getting banned lol.
This was harrowing to read. Still dripping with heartbreak 💔
You're in a better place now, T, and wiser for the time ❤️🩹
