I got scammed a few months ago during the tunnels updates. Traded a q8 15^50 crenellated sword and q8 15^50 katana for a q9 15^ench crystalline sword. GGs to me, but I guess my bad for being greedy / not being aware of the updates. Regardless, I'm pretty much on hiatus / might quit for good / might come back after all the updates are settled / might just play and stop trading.
But regardless, have a suggestion. Historically there have been barely any updates, so an area like this was not needed. But with all the changes from 2weeks, was thinking it might be a good idea to have a pinned thread or even a dedicated subforum section for "game updates discussions". So someone wouldnt have to trawl through "How did Guild Wars treat you today? Daily Game Discussion" to get updates on game (and particularly how the updates effects items (since this is an item collector forum for the most part)). *I still don't know what q8s were effected by tunnels or if any were*
Thanks and see you again (maybe ),

EDIT: Also want to shame 2weeks update notes. Maybe they were trying to surprise people or maybe they didnt know, but would be nice to know in the update notes for drop table changes!
These are some important questions though :p I tried to calculate odds of finding this exact shield. I got some different answers:
- Chances for the exact shield in question if you dont care about mod order1:6370
- Chances for the exact shield in question if you care about mod order 1:12260
- Chances for the exact shield in question if you dont care about mod order and factoring in vs creatures 1:10770
- Chances for the exact shield in question if you care about mod order and factoring in creatures 1:20840
*NOTE: I did not add in my calculations of getting a non perfect armor (i.e 9/15 - someone let me know the possibilities)
*NOTE2: someone math check me if my math math'd correctly
*NOTE:3: someone escpecially fact check me (are the things obtainable i.e. I only calculated you could only get +9 or +10 vs slashing, I calculated you could get 19% or 20 str or leadership, I added in all the vs creatures options when maybe you can't get some, many more things).
EDIT1: I think master of domain would actually be 15 instead of 4. So numbers would be
- Chances for the exact shield in question if you dont care about mod order1:8460
- Chances for the exact shield in question if you care about mod order 1:16440
- Chances for the exact shield in question if you dont care about mod order and factoring in vs creatures 1:12860
- Chances for the exact shield in question if you care about mod order and factoring in creatures 1:25020
Edit: someone needs to do the same math for shields. Then with that information X, can determine how much more rare of an “any univeral wand or focus” drop vs an “any Japan shield drop” would have to be Y to be the rarest drop overall XY. So taking back everything I say until that X number comes out. But once it does I think the answer would be easy for us all to agree on. I’m bad at maths, so this algebraic equation may make no sense.
edit2: wand math says 1 in 4,800,000,000. If shield math were to say 1 in 4,000,000,000 I’d say perfect japan shield would indeed be rarest. But if shield math were to say 1 in 100,000 I’d say the perf universal wand is indeed the rarest as the any Japan shield drop rate wouldn’t be able to offset the easier universal wand drop rate.
Im definitely going on a tangent with this and thinking too hard, im done here as well!
-Japan Shield is probably the rarest to drop in the game (ex: you’ll find more jellyfish wands than Japan shields while farming)
-but to hit a 20/20 matching mods and req on a rare universal scepter or focus is harder to roll than a perf Japan shield (ex: even though you’ll find more jellyfish wands than Japan shields; it’ll be way more hard to hit a 20/20 matching mods with matching req jellyfish than a perf Japan shield)
-Japan shields are also found in one of the most popular farms/botted areas. So even if they are harder to hit; there is a significantly higher chance to bring more into the game than some other items. But want to ignore this fact for this discussion.
To clarify further: in order of how hard to drop easiest to hardest- any jellyfish>any Japan shield>perfect Japan shield>perfect jellyfish
So technically you are all kind of right; but clarification is needed to complete this argument.
Thank you for all those whom attended my giveaway streams in the past.
I’m looking to acquire more stock of various items to giveaway for future streams (I won’t be keeping anything / I think my collecting days are over for the most part, for now atleast).
PM me or post here items that are getting dusty in your storage that you might let go for a reasonable price.
Also would appreciate and accept any donors who wants to give back to the public, and would give you a shoutout in some way.
I collect 420 weapons / items. But imo the X00, other collectible gold values, etc; the better the item, the higher the premium.
EX: a q9 eblade 420gv (high overpay) will give a higher premium than a q9 15^50 longsword 420gv (slight overpay), and a bad item with the collector gold value like a q11 15^stance longsword is still merch regardless. I think your wicked blade falls somewhere between examples 2 and 3.
edit: didnt give you a PC. I'd say without the gv it would be merch, but with it, id estimate 1e :p
To celebrate GWR I have started streaming and will be doing massive giveaways this Fri - Sun. Have a ton of items to giveaway and the items get better and better as more people come in to watch and play, with one of my relics - a q8 15^50 fellblade (which would be the giveaway item that would most interest the folks here), being added to the drop table if I somehow become the topped viewed streamer at any point this weekend. So come out and support not just me, but GWR!

PS: I don't have a ton of armbraces, so for you collector folks, come support my stream and take my prizes. If I need to restock, I'll slowly be selling away my treasures hidden in my vault which will become up for grabs!
I'm gwmacdaddy who are you? And yeah it just seemed fishy since I was talking to the guy live and was directing him to guildwarslegacy. Checked the site while I was chatting to him and was surprised to see his item on the price check page. Already apologized bro...
Nope, I didnt offer him anything. I took a look at his items for sale and then pointed him to guildwarslegacy.com for a place for PCs and to auction items.
You taking screenshots of things people are selling in kamadan and then asking for PCs here lol? I saw someone selling this in kama as well as the blue q8 eternal you asked for a PC on. I guess that would be allowed, but its kind of lame...
