Yeah I see this having a little interest. XXe for me, not above 20e tho.
-
Fulfill Ruriks legacy, forged from his bones, by getting a +10 vs charr + 30hp 😁
I have dropped 2 dual mods in about 500 picks in hells, nice collection!

On shields, pretty much you want perfect mods as celestial shields are not that hard to come by. At a push you could sell shields that are 1 off one mod with a perfect other mod. Less perfect than that and I would merch.
Perfect energy mod + matching req and HSR/HCT mod wants also can be worth a bit. Even you’ll need perfect mods for any wand without a 19%/20% HCT/HSR mod on it.
I’d hang onto r9 +5e/15^50 swords and axes too, they’re not worth much but can be sold.
Bows are the worst though, and you’ll get a tonne of them, salvage for dust!
-
Unlucky but 100% merchfood imo
-
Obviously a lot of good stuff here!
What skin is the hand axe?
-
Brutally mixed mods but has some good stuff.
1. Mods are perfect
2. R9
3. Great skin
There is an Aegis with these mods with a 50e c/o on the forums right now. This could easily match or even double that with interest. If only they were matching mods, that ‘e’ would have been ‘a’ instead
I wouldn’t merch it. It’s not even useless.
-
Just a point on r9 +5 energy weapons; whilst generally correct above, things like jitte, katana, shinobi blade will still carry an XX ecto value because they are popular caster skins.
-
LGiT Luxon alliance certainly are doing deep quite a lot. I see something forming probably half the days I’m online.
-
Im realy concerned for my future... Used to much luck these two days....
Genuinely my favourite thing I’ve seen on here in ages. Lovely skin too.
I think those dirty inscribable weapons are coming back in fashion…
-
Short answer is no. There is no logic behind this whatsoever. Crystallines are not in the drop tables for any enemies so they will not drop from key-requiring chests under regular circumstances. They are not associated with the crystal desert or elemental mobs at all. Only crystallines that dropped in the desert were from a keyless chest iirc.
Outside of Zchest, the old keyless chests (long lost to gw history well before 2014) and some purple insc oddities (which are under debate and I don’t think their origin will ever be proven, but are believed to be from eotn preview event, and are certain to have dropped in 2007 and no examples have been seen since) are no other sources than the places you listed originally.
This is a classic case of screens are required. Personally I won’t believe it otherwise.
-
It’s a bad req and an unfortunate combo of mods. I’d put it up for a week and take whatever is offered.
Or travel back to 2006 😎
-
I can only recall ever seeing one r7 wand (on a German site, never on here or guru) and only a couple of staves. What makes them so rare, even compared to hammer/axe?
There were never any r7 bows, right?
-
Well…there’s magmas shields! But I have dumped almost 500 lockpicks into hells precipice and have got a solitary dual mod out of it…
Do glooms drop from coldfire night chests? If so then you could try the standard smite farm.
-

Only as high as the bid war goes. Disgusting item.
-
Nolani is the only place I have ever had them with any regularity (never a good one). Anywhere with warriors that wield them and cannot drop any non-core or exclusive skins is probably the best place; can’t think of a better place tbh. Only other suggestion would be a white mantle warrior (early ice caves is all warriors/rangers iirc?)/enchanted armor (outside dunes of despair maybe?) farm somewhere but they can also drop aegis/sotw in addition to all the skins the charr drop. Gates of kryta also drops a fair amount of shields (although you get far more sephis axes/dead bows than anything else) but I think you already farmed there given you have your r9 sephis axe 😊 and not as many shields as nolani it must be said.
-
Why?
Just... why?
I have a matching cane for that chakram! - if you’re going to merch it I’ll gladly take it off your hands!
-
One for the merchant I’m afraid (single mod, not a pre-nerf requirement).
-
I have a soft spot for style 1 because that’s how my +45/ench +10 vs pierce Magmas dropped. I never liked the look of my -3/hex +30 plagueborn drop in contrast.
I also prefer +10/-2 rather than -2/+10.
Such an important question.
-
Yep one of those desolation skins that don’t drop anywhere else, if someone wants they will pay as above. Just be patient.
-
The shield has too many imperfections for me, I would merch it.
The kamas are a gold r3 - somewhat rare! They are not max however and the mods are not the best, albeit useable. I’d hang onto it and put it up for auction. Hard one to value.
-
That amber is hilarious but r9 and 20/20 are very nice. Someone will pick that up for 10-20 ectos no doubt, possibly more. Just put it up for sale. I have a far less pretty triple profession amber sitting in my storage.
-
Starting from Tanglewood is a super bad idea as it will cut the number of possible echovald chests. If you want to skip the jade chests I would even more suggest to go from boreas.
Interesting! I didn’t know that less chests spawn close you the point you enter the map.
-
The good thing about Pongmei is that nearly all canthan skins can drop there as you have chests from jade sea, echovald and kaineng includig plagueborn.
The vast majority of my 4.1k chests are pongmei and it is very easy and gives good drops.
I wanted to say I don’t think the jade sea drops include many of the good ones (no outcast stuff, naga bows, jellyfish wands, kappa shields) best you can hope is an emblazoned defender or a good jade wand. I started to skip those chests as I felt they were a bit of a drain on lockpicks, but that will slow you down a bit unless you start from tanglewood.
-
an other unlikely one !
I wasn’t even completely sure these combos could drop! Nice to see. Find me a smite/undead, air/tengu or fire/plants please!
-
Yes a botted skin but still very popular. Botting impacted the medium tier shields (1-off, r10+) which have dropped in price like a stone as they became way more common. This is still a rarity like any r9 perfect shield. Additionally strength is better than tactics with these mods. I’m going to punt for 20a as a baseline, I don’t see it going too much higher than 25a.
-
Finally completed my sword shield combo
Bartholos would be proud 😊
-
Yeah mb on that one, only been chest running them, don't think a good farm exist, even thought I tried some, didn't get much result
There are some videos of warden farming in arborstone, but you need a hero in range to do it and the pulls are difficult.
There is a way to reliably and easily kill the 5 wardens that patrol into the dragon moss farm, although I have never had a GotH drop there so far, but I have done it far less than the normal farm.
It adds Mesmer, ritualist and armor drops to the basic farm as well as a GotH chance. If people are interested I can post a guide sometime. It also has a small chance of a chest spawn too.
-
They can drop on Shing Jea all year around, not sure if it is limited to specific zones. I have had the most luck with them from the Mantids, but when I say luck, 2 purples out of approx 500 Mantid clears in the course of just this last year. I am digging hard for Spiked Clubs and had a few clubs drop from Mantids, the Bucklers were just an added bonus.
I strongly recall these drop from yetis too - the warriors are hammer wielders iirc which surely increases the chances. I have a vivid memory from 2006 of a gold one dropping in NM in jaya bluffs; not max of course. I think the yetis are a pain to farm hence you don’t see them often (healers, necros have SV, which will even go through a 55, plus they don’t spawn in very high densities so whirling defence builds would also be slow!)
-
Checking in after a short hiatus, here's some pirate things I like to use while running the Jade Sea.
Wasn’t that shield some absurd piece of luck that dropped from an obscure location after the r8 nerf?
-
...and this is why there's one item in my storage that somehow never gets the chance to gather any dust
I wonder how many creature shields got merched back in the day…
-
Could you be more specific? 4 points off max? what do you mean? Thanks
+9 armor vs blunt is 1 off max (+10 armor)
+42hp w/ ench is 3 off max (+45hp)
Agree in a sense with above, this is one of the more common r8 skins. If someone really wants it is rare enough (by virtue of being r8) to justify a small number of arms.
-
Love HCT off-attribute staves. theyre even better when the HCT attribute is unrelated to the requirement profession
Or if you get HCT divine favor or spawning power on a primary attribute req staff.
-
First HM Hell's run in about 6 years...
-
Finally a dual modded shield ...
I know it’s not perfect but this mod combination actually works well against necromancers and water elementalists!
-
Alright don't know what to thinkLooking forward to seeing your 7 attribute necro/ele build
-
More than I expected, but unfortunately a q13.
So heavy!
-
Congrats!
I think my first log in was a week before you, and I've only maxed 20 titles.
Thank you!
I think 20 is the break point - I did the final 10 (all cartographers, survivor, drunk, party, sweet and a couple of eotn rep titles) this year! If it interests you persevere and you’ll get there

27th December 2005 - first logged into GW
10th December 2021 - completed GWAMM
For some of us it's a long road, but certainly a journey worth taking.
