I was going to start compiling the info to create the new articles in the wiki about 1) Unconditional weapons 2) PreNerf greens 3) HoD old weapons, and because this thread is called "Does it exist?" I think it's better to write and ask it here. Since the "Unconditional weapons", "The truth about Pre-Nerf" and "Info and research on prenerf greens" threads are actually very well documented already, the only thing with those will be to coordinate a good writing for the article.

The remaining issue is to obtain the info regarding the Henge of Denravi original weapons crafted by Caprice.

With the info and screenshots compiled from this threads I've created a table, but it's still incomplete. Also, according an unknown user in the discussion page of the sword, there were more items removed, as it states: "The warrior -50% hex helmet and some Necro tunic without the rest of the armor."

Things in color red are the missing ones. Any help to preserve this is appreciated, from my side I reached a dead-end trying to scratch information, I'm going for a walk in the Guru archive but due the hard method of search I don't think I will be able to find something.

* Note: final version of the weapons are not included since are our current ones.

I will never understand why they changed the color in many post-nerfs items, but they are now ugly as hell. The Brimstone, The Stonebreaker (Hammer), Flint's Fleshcleaver, Galigord's Rod, etc, all aberrations.

Not the one I'm looking for but it's something.

This one is not mine but from another player, I took it in my last Heroes' Ascent run after this Terminator approached and killed me.

Quote from Pleikki

There are many items from betas left in players inventories like white staff wrappings that add nothing to anything xD

But for brick muds, i can confirm they excisted in game, i remember when dev (mike or gaile gray) was even showing them to ppl at sometime years back, after that i dont know if they been removed from ppl's inventories after they removed the artisan in shiverpeaks, but back in 2005-2006 they did excist in the game.

I resurrect this to say that I found in the Guru archive the "infamous" screenshots:

Sources (Date: Apr 27, 2008) (Time: 06:42 PM / 18:42)

https://archive.guildwarslegacy.com/04/04 The Riverside Inn/04534 Clay Brick and Brick of Mud_ Showed today, oh noes.001.html

https://archive.guildwarslegacy.com/04/04 The Riverside Inn/04534 Clay Brick and Brick of Mud_ Showed today, oh noes.004.html

I analyzed the screenshot and ""apparently"" it seems real despite the pixelation due the compression. The thing here is to know "how" he obtained the items if Mike or Gaile were the only ones having them. I find it practically impossible that something like this would have survived the first weeks of the game, and not just one item, but both. Why I say this? Because the pictures of both items in the Wiki were uploaded in 2007, and the post is from 2008, so even if the trade window screenshot is real, what makes me doubt is if the icon of the items could have be taken from there to fake it.

The user who posted the screenshots says that the person who traded the items told him that they dropped near The Wilds (message #13), and "near" can mean anything in this game, more when we are talking of crafting materials and not monster materials (I don't Imagine a Wind Rider dropping a Brick of Mud). I think it's totally BS, because that terrain has been exploited thousands of times and the location is precisely at the end of the map, a good excuse to send someone to the other end of the world to look for something that does not exist to waste time... but who knows.

Anyway, this is the small contribution that I have been able to get out of the whole thing. The screenshot is cut, the names are deleted, everything is pixelated, we don't even know the nickname of the player who took the screenshot and in the May 29, 2008 update the item was removed from crafters (33 days after the post from Guru), so it's a dead-end and we can only trust (or not) in what is left and the word of the people who claim that it existed and could be obtained in past times.

Quote from Anti

It has been speculated for nearly a decade now that they might have stopped dropping...I'm quite sure it's just a low drop rate issue(one in ten thousand was speculated once on the wiki...) but it would be really nice to have visual confirmation. As far as I can tell, no one has ever posted a photo of one dropping on the internet after 2011. Like, ever??? It just seems like we need to get visual proof they still drop since they're too rare for one person to ever meaningfully test it.

This next month I'm gonna attempt 300 runs with consets and 3 simultaneous accounts to increase the drop. Don't expect results though.

This is not the usual kind of comment here but also doesn’t deserve a thread I think. Does anyone have a confirmed drop(hopefully screenshot?) of a WiK mini in the last 5 years? Dorian/Isaiah specifically? They’re so rare that there is no data. I have seen speculation they may not even drop after some time in the early 2010s, and with the drop chance there is really no way to test it.

There are people who have finished WiK with more than 20 characters and nothing dropped (no minis, no greens). I have finished WiK with only 3 characters and neither. So with this, get an idea of the probability. In the wiki/discussion section of the item there are some users comparing the % of drop with the polar bear mini.

Glowing radiance of evil at the heart of Arachnia. Said to be the remains of a now-dead spider-god, older than Abaddon and the Five True Gods themselves.

Not many people stop to look at the layout of the maps from above since we only can see our character in first and third person view, but it's a hobby I've been doing since I discovered the "/map unlock" command in GWToolbox and there are real gems that go unnoticed in the game (like the cat and floating tree hidden in the valley under "The Tengu Accords" Bonus Mission Pack).

Time ago I started to read the whole "Unimplemented content" category to see if I could find discarded things of lore, and when I read all the sections related to Arachnia I began to understand that many of the map designs and terrains had a reason for being like they are. So I took Toolbox and started taking screenshots of the entire map, and what you see from the front view to how it is designed from above is another world.

I do not know if the blue giant spider corpse at The Spider's Heart and Arachnia Plateau is the dead old god Arachnia herself because no developer has explicitly confirmed it, but due the place is called like that and precisely there is the spider, gives something to think about. Perhaps all this discarded content found in the gw.dat remained as a game of perspective, quoting Thaddeus Bradley from "Now you see me" movie: «The closer you think you are, the less you'll actually see.»

Anyway, here I leave the screenshots for the general enjoyment: https://ibb.co/album/hCPcqR

I was trying to buy it in Kamadan to complete the 4-set but due the lack of luck I went to Fenrir's cave and it seems luck returned because it dropped in the first run from the Locked Chest inside the cave.

Thank you again Blind Was My Fury !

Quote from Capitalist

I was wondering if it is simple enough for someone to run two accounts and play both characters.

Ah, no, it's impossible. You need 2 real players yes or yes with this method.

Quote from Capitalist

What two man would you recommend?

Ritualist + Mesmer is the best combo I tried (and the Legionnaire as tank). Any common build of interruptions or energy surge is ok.

The trick is to kill the foe healers as fast as you can putting pressure, that's all. Without the healers, the rest is easy.

This is not a "farm" itself, I know. It's just the only way I see to do this shit xD

Hello, only this one if possible, please:

Platinum Staff - req9 Energy Storage

EDIT: Trade completed, thank you!

The Firebrand can be farmed in "Cursed Lands" map with Ritualist SoS + Legionnaire Summoning Crystal + Normal Mode... AND MANY PATIENCE (or many consets).

With 2 people works better though.

I have not discovered any other system (although I have not looked for it too much either ~~)

And keep in mind that if you decide to go, the drop ratio is super ultra hyper mega shit. When I went and after more than 50 attempts, absolutely nothing dropped, so I quit and ended buying it.

There are around 5 groups with Peacekeeper Firebrands in each run.
