Same skin for 4 minis? Catch them all!
i mean I guess it's good for completionists
They wield their unique staves…it’s something?

Green shield confirmed in FoW.

Don’t sleep on the +5e longbow. Core skins with energy mods in r8 are very rare compared to factions skins. Might be the coolest thing here.
-
Good additions, there’s nothing fun or challenging about scraping a wall for 30 minutes trying to find an exact viewing angle (and people use texmod anyway) or hunting some random minotaurs or hydras on a patrol around the whole map for an hour.
-
I’d keep anything old school, r9 and 15^50 or +5e. Worth a few ecto to the right person.
Plant shield and 20/20 holy staff similar. Nothing amazing and hard to sell but not useless.
The new skins (unicorns wrath, hourglass staff etc) aren’t exactly rare insc but again, possibly with few ecto in r9.
I’d put these into the sell forum and see what you can get, and get rid when you feel you need more bank space. -
Oh I certainly remember how it was. Sometimes I even speak fondly of the warm morning breeze…

You will end up finding a way to play with your original idea. Skills like Conjure Flame, Starburst, Inferno are all viable on a warrior if you’re not min-maxing. Want to burn lots of things? Grab Mark of Rodgort and an axe/hammer with cyclone axe/crude swing.
It was mentioned earlier, but you have to just find the skills that address warriors low base energy compared to Elementalist skill costs. You will find warrior’s endurance in the desert - this will open some doors for you! Maybe swap your shield for a fire focus? If you want to spend big on some fire spells, make sure you take advantage of low cost adrenaline skills to fill the time between them.
None of this is ‘optimal’ but who cares. The game isn’t so hard. -
How many new OS crystas are known to have dropped? Haven’t seen too many here nor for sale on here. Might just not be looking hard enough tho.
-
OS Runic blade and Stygian reaver would be very cool…
I think OS ball hammer only appeared because it can drop gold insc, no? Similar to mausoleum tribal axe?
-
Server rollback incoming…
last time we got triple mods, there was no server rollback. it will just be a hotfix
They should’ve rolled it back, only it would have destroyed all the spears and scythes which were genuinely interesting. This time it’s only creating more borky shit in pre. Nothing otherwise interesting has dropped (waiting for a gold sickle or tribal axe post…) so what’s the harm in rolling back.
I’m not dying on this hill for keeping pre as it was, but triple mods is too far imo. -
Server rollback incoming…

I was gonna say before the above, 2k arms is a massive lowball…
I’d say this is one of the most commonly in demand super rare functional items in the game. What are there, 4 +5e OS crystas in the game? Req barely matters here, gv is irrelevant.
Agree with above. The potential demand is what takes it to 5k+ arms easily, with trades for items of a similarly priceless nature probably the only fair trade. Don’t even see the OP trading this 1:1 for the r8 dual vamp chaos axe in the other thread, as sick (and apparently similarly rare) as that is. -
I always hoped the Melandru statue and other statues would get their new own FoW or UW world. They could also have made a harder Hardmode version of the game, with a new title to vanquish and new goals like completing the campaigns and elite missions that way.
I’d love new elite areas too, but only once they’ve worked out how to do it so it’s not a disgusting bug fest. That’s worse than nothing imo. I think gw2 shows that new ‘areas’ really bring very transient interest in the game and require a lot of effort to get right.
I think harder hard mode (missions, then vq, in campaign order) and more hard mode iconic quests over time could be the best way to get a regular cadence of ‘new’ content without major risks. With new rewards in the form of skins/collector stuff like destroyer gauntlets with new trophies ofc. -
Maybe I’m wrong, I feel a bit more hopeful still. I think this is more a case of high expectations of a small team who weren’t going to deliver the level of content people (perhaps unreasonably) wanted right away. Or a marketing issue - I think this the most reasonable criticism.
Piken square is clearly set up for more. I have confidence we will see more complex content come through as more tools are recovered. I’ll feel more pessimistic if the anniversary falls flat though.
PS: I haven’t posted here in years, but like many others these little things they have done have caused me to keep half an eye on the game updates on the wiki and write this, so it can’t be all doom and gloom

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.
