It seems the GW gods felt bad about that 20/19 amber wand and decided to bless me again.

My first 20/20 wand drop. This makes up for it. holy shiiiiit

Allllrighty then. Been a few months since my last big update so let's get to it.

Starting with some better pictures/comparisons of ones previously mentioned. Then adding some image/color proof for ones that were already on the list but lacking an image. Of course, no update would be complete without some spicy new additions as well.

MESMER

Back in March I added confirmation of Vokur's Chakram and Cane, and thought there must be a prenerf Vokur's Staff as well.

So first, a more consistent comparison of Vokur's Cane (including icons) now that I have one. (previous one was customized). Icons here appear identical, and stats/order are the same for both. A typical shift from light black to dark black.

Next up: Vokur's Staff. It does exist! As mentioned in the last update, all Vokur greens are black, and the staff follows the usual light->dark black pattern of the others. Stats, order and icons are all identical.

Moving on to some new new additions...guess we'll continue on the mesmer hype train.

First up is Garbok's Chalice. A little hot pink action for ya. Colors are noticeably different with the prenerf having the usual more vibrant colors compared to the newer one. Stats, order and icon are identical.

Now, from the same boss, Handsmasher. This is currently on the list as confirmed but was lacking an image. Big color difference. Stats, order and icon are identical. The 3rd green from this boss, Garbok's Cane, uses the base, undyed color for its skin, so barring any proof otherwise, it shouldn't have a prenerf. While there are exceptions to this (see Yakslapper and Shadestone), it's kind of apples/oranges. That cane skin can be dyed, but isn't on Garbok's Cane. The Yakslapper and Shadestone skins can't be dyed, but are on the respective greens. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Speaking of the Shadestone skin...moving on now to Illyana's Mirror. Assumed one had to exist and finding the prenerf Shadestone. The pre/post colors on Illyana's are the same as pre/post on Shadestone. Stats, order and icon are identical for both.

Next up is a newcomer to the discussion: Kenrii's Sorrow. A brief return to ones that actually have different mod orders as well. Icon here shows a a noticeable difference, matching the color swap on the weapon itself.

Next up is Korvald's Chakram. Another Sorrow's Furnace item off the list. Inching closer and closer to confirming them all. Stats, order, icons are all identical. Just a color change here.

Last but not least for the mesmers...everyone's favorite: Wingstorm. An extra spicy find, imo. Stats, order and icon are all identical, but it sports a pretty big color change. Created long before mesmers would have their day in PvE. An oldschool needle in an ever-growing haystack of newschool favorites. This is how it's done.

RITUALIST

The other big-ish winner in this update.

Starting with a closer look at Orosen's Staff. Previously thought to exist based on old wiki images. Confirming the color changes on the purple parts of the staff. Stats and order are identical. Icons are slightly different, matching the purple on the staff itself.

Next up is a squiggly stick from the Ritual Lord himself - Ritual Lord's Staff. One of the most subtle changes I've found so far. Differences are on the wraps of the staff and are highlighted to try to help. Stats and order are the same. Icons are very slightly different.

Still not convinced? Fret not! There's another, sometimes better way to check for color on ones with very subtle changes. For all weapons (greens or not), the entirety of the weapon will appear as the dyed color when the weapon is dropped on the ground, not just the parts that actually dye. I first noticed this when farming greens way back when, taking screenshots of them still assigned on the ground. See the below example for this test demonstrated on the ritual lord staves.

Following that is a slightly smaller and more squiggly stick from a silly plant: Mossbeard's Wand. Noticeably brighter green on the prenerf and a matching change in the icons as well. Stats and order are identical.

Last update for Rits is my favorite of the four: Kaolin Wand. Wasn't sure if this one would exist as, unlike the Platinum Wand skin which is dyeable, this green uses the Platinum Scepter skin, which supposedly shows no changes when dyed. Looks like the handle is dyed red, but doesn't follow the usual lighter -> darker pattern. Instead, the prenerf here is the darker one. This marks #5 of 8 for the Kaolin weapon set prenerfs! (Just the blade, longbow and prot staff remaining. If you think you may have one of them please get in touch!)

Warrior

A closer look at Baubao's Shell. Stats and order are the same. Icons are noticeably different (more so than the shield itself imo). KAPPA KAPPA KAPPA KAPPA KAPPA KAPPA KAPPA

Assassin

Palm strike sins rejoice! Thought this one would be out there somewhere, turns out it is. Kenshi's Butterfly Daggers here, getting a swap to a different shade of green. Stats and order are identical. Icons are slightly different (most noticeable at the bottom of the handles).

Necromancer

A better look at the Frozen Fan acquired from Crusan. Very spicy. Farming one nowadays is hard enough. For this one to have stuck around is something. Stats and order are the same, icons are noticeably different.

Forgotten and Frozen fans are both confirmed now. For dyed weapons (greens or otherwise), swapping between them in your weapon sets will temporarily show the base (undyed) color of the item. When doing this with Forgotten and Frozen Fans, it shows the yellow color of the Tattered Fan. This makes it seem unlikely that the Tattered Fan would have a big color change like the other two do, but it's gw/anet...who knows. Maybe it does exist. If you have a Tattered Fan you think is particularly old, hit me up and we'll check it out.

Elementalist

Tarlok's Flagon. Another one I was super surprised to have found. Makes sense that they could exist, but never expected to find one. A one-off boss the only reason for which to ever kill would be to cap an elite. Thinking that was this one's origin story and it was kindly spared the merchant all these years. Stats and order are the same. Icons show a big difference. What else is there to say? Everyone likes a nice pair of jugs.

There are more to come still (in the nearer future, hopefully), but I thought it'd been too long since the last update and had to post something.

Retroactive Corrections

Until then, I'll leave you with some additional screenshots of greens that have been retroactively corrected. Had to dig hard for some of these...

The Rockmolder. The one and only. The original. The infamous. Note the universal 20% recharge on the original. This one is on the list, now providing an image. (The original cropping was bad, swear it wasn't me.)

WiK Greens (being mod-able when they shouldn't be)

On the list, now adding an image. In this example: Righteous Fury

Phoenix's Retribution

Unlike "Faith," also from WoC, this one was corrected. Originally missed its inscription. Also on the list, now adding an image.

Now for two new ones not on the list

Iceblood's Warstaff

Originally featured a single HCT 40% mod, instead of two HCT 20% mods. All were corrected.

Fervorborn Staff

Originally misspelled as "Ferverborn Staff." All were corrected. Wiki also makes note of them being spelled as "Feverborn Staff." Maybe this was the case at some point too, but I could only find "ferver."

Thanks for reading. Hope you all enjoyed. Tune in next time!

If anyone has any questions or thinks they may have some particularly old greens, please reach out to me and we can check them.

Quote from Jonast

I still think it’s crazy that there are (at least) two r9 20/20 effigies in the game, the other being curses, give they are universal foci. Maybe the dream of a matching wayward isn’t so ridiculous.

Is there a r9 20/20 universal wand? I’m aware of a r10 20/20 prot platinum wand but no celestials, ambers, jades or waywards. That 20/19 r9 death amber on sale atm is closest I’ve seen.

Was about to mention, as Xander did, that effigies (and all foci nowadays) aren't universal. Such a drop was possible in the past, when all foci/staves, and I believe wands too, were universal, but the only way to know if they were from that time period is if the 20/20 mods are on a non-matching attribute. Meaning a 20/20 water frost artifact could be from that time, but there would be no way to prove it. A 20/20 dom frost artifact on the other hand... See the below examples.

As for 20/20 universal wands, the 20/19 death amber I recently got is the closest I've personally seen, same as you, at least that I can remember. There's a q9 fire 20/19 fire celestial scepter in our guild as well.

There is at least one q7 20/20 matching focus in the game. No reason to believe there can't be a second. Such a paper lantern would be my unicorn of choice. The single 19% q7 is gladly used until then.

Edit: I guess OP specifies currently obtainable/droppable, so a q8 then. But one can dream about the best of the best.

Quote from Kabong

I find Unholy saying "paper lantern shields" hilarious at the moment.

They're super effective. Nobody wants a paper cut.

Throwing in my two cents as well, yeah ogres/dragons seems to be the most common. Curiously, though, don't ogre mods only drop in factions? Factions has yetis (ogres) sure, but prophecies also has ettins, which are classified as ogres. Guess someone could use them for nostalgic ettin farming. Or an ogre shield for Darkrime Delves running, as jotun count as ogres as well.

As for OP's question of whether a focus "shield" or a shield is "better," I mean I guess a shield would be better, but it depends on the application and what's using it. Energy can be plentiful depending on build & other stuff being used, perhaps more so than extra sources of armor.

That said, I have a couple paper lantern "shields" but realistically they are just there as collection pieces.

added that spicy death amber wand

Not sure if I should be sad or happy. What a tease

Friendly reminder about the mod section, all available mods will have at least "x1" next to them. Most of the slaying mods, for example, are not available. I've highlighted the note at the top of the mod section to help hopefully.

updated mod/green counts

might sell some of the shields with bids soon

You might check Oldschool Cool 's buy thread. He'll be interested, more than likely.
