Very happy to finally have been able to complete this set!

A very special thanks to PyroLobster for parting with Dwarf and Charr shields and helping to facilitate trades.

Also thanks to Sicilianking for providing me with the final piece of the puzzle.

This is golden. Wow. My own first collection was 10 -2wE shields, where I collected all 18 versions. I know how hard some of the proph creatures were and how useful these shields are in farming. I do still have a weakness for this mod combo - sadly I still couldn't complete the set of all 18 ones in my fav skin. (I have 17...). Considering yours are magmas shields makes it even more impressive. There was a time when I thought about doing just that, but my funds wouldn't allow so. This set takes a special place for me. Impressed. Thanks for sharing!

sadly I do not need it - I got a q8 max version... thanks for thinking of me though, @ardunain

It is as said a shame it's one off probably cutting its value by 98% to about 10e being hard sale.

Quote from Alvena

I have a White 16/9 Tower Shield - Strength. I tested & a handle can be added.

If you're still looking for this item ~ IGN : Agent Alvena

Ye I do indeed still need that! I'll try to hit you up

Quote from Ashesofthedead

Have this Max AC inscribsble for sale!

i do have one like this already - thanks though

This is a bump!

that q8 10 30 gives me chills. Trolls has that special flavor. I love many others as well but that one would be my choice

Great assembly!

there's barely market nor real use to this kind of foci. Still there might be a few collectors that'd offer 5-25e for the thing being perf in its own way. I doubt more would come from this - but you should at least try

fun one - I also did that at some point with pleikki I think...

Few things that are off:

You calculate in the different attributes part three times - that means you calculate the chance for a wand of a specific attribute (not just getting any q9 20/20 as title suggests.

You say there's 21 possibilities for attr on hct and hsr. Now only 18attr can drop as hsr/hct (estor, sr, fc can't) Furthermore that only applies to multiprofession wands - getting a matching fire wand would be significantly easier since only ele-attributes could come.

You say there are 21 possibilities for the req - that's only 14 for multi profession wands (if I counted properly)

As pyro said 8% and 18% aren't within the available range on todays drop.

Os wands do not necessarily have an "insc" + a "wrap" - doesn't mean any combination is possible, but more than you respect this way. On shields I'm far more into what is and is not a possible combination.

And finally as pyro stated: number of possibilities does by far not say anything considering rarity or rate! Think of os swords - following the logic there's 12 (including nomod) possibilities and you'd deduce a 1:12 ratio for a 15/-1healthreg one - which is by far off.

Long story short - fun project for sure but off on a few assumptions. Just properly deducing all the possibilities is something I would be unable to do since I do not know which combinations of mods are possible. Then deducing the chance is something which is again far off my capabilities - as said: different mods may carry different chances.

Fun idea we followed back then: what about foci? There are all the armor mods, all the +1 attr mods and so on. Compared to all the possibilities on there wand seem easy to get as matching

so please Oofus don't you dare call that q9 20/10 earth straw effigy "half decent" again or I'm calling the police and sue you so you lose custody for it, it ends up for adoption and I will jump in as parent... that's one of the best foci I have seen!

Edit: on topic - hasn't there been a q7 19/19 multiproffession foc somewhere?

it won't work in hm since your speedbuff won't be enough to reset them. Unless maybe you use some red rock candies or the likes. But probably something else would be a better (cheaper) aproach there.

Also their other mechanics plus damage output would be disadvantageous for you. Just like the increased hp.

300e

a10 155e 55k 555g please - what a beautiful axe! Q3 being lowest possible for a gold item, 6-16 being max for a q3 axe and everything paired with a perf os dmg mod - gotta love! (And I can totally understand why my friends PyroLobster and Agent Chevy are interested just as I am!)

Quote from Fenrir Aslifeburns

Only taking max ones on insc - so it'd be 16/8 - and I got such ones already. So nah, but thanks for the offer

h148 6a

300 for the tower please :O

4a for the tower D:

111e on the white tower shield please

herzlichen Glückwunsch!

thanks a lot for all recent updates Macdaddy  Praise  XTFOX ! Glad there is still so much interest and change in stats! We're getting closer and closer!

Alyx Seath - those one offs are hertbreakers

oh I see the first mysticism +1/20 possible with a wrap of mastery...

(6) Q9 (Str) +30hp -2wS Tower Shield (gold value: 272) b/o 300e

Yes please! I'll take it

EDIT: That's intended to be a b/o post in case I've been unclear.

Quote from Invokeur

q9 defender +1^20 inspi -3wH

For some reason I cannot "like" your post :O

Aliana yes please!

Invokeur yes please!

warriors 7weapon stance comes at help - you should deal full damage with the strength spear then

#3 35e

well it writes that the effect is +1 fc at 20% chance - question is does it work - I mean does it ever get activated? There are plenty of mods and weapons in this game that behave different that what their description says.

Edit: okay I read again what you wrote - awesome! I interpreted it as if you applied the mod whilst luring on the isle of the nameless and included that detail for fun. Now I see what you actually meant

Sorry

legendary - now the trickier part - find out if it works

#3 25e

Quote from Ddraeg

This one:

okay, you got me intrigued... kevin! Please end the suffering :O

can you add an inscription to the mes shield? Could you generate the first +1/20 FC mod ingame using a master of my domain? :O

And what link from kevin are you referring? :O

Quote from Praise

The mesmer shield was going to be my favourite, but like Bowie said, it cannot be upgraded with a shield handle.

I turned to the necro scythe and assassin bow next, and while the descriptions say they are tied to soul reaping/crit strikes attributes, in reality their damage output is additionally dependent on their normal attributes for damage (scythe mastery/marksmanship). See screenshots attached.

The content cannot be displayed because it is no longer available.

At least the mesmer shield armor does actually seem to be dependent on fast casting alone.

Probably the other weapons are bugged too. I hope they fix it soon, and also fix weapons that already exist in player's inventories.

I can't seem to see the dependency on their normal attributes from the first three screens. I'd have suspected a screen of the scythe with 12 sr, one with 12 sm and one with 12 in both... could you do that?

Or explain to me how I can see the effect just from your screens?

Maybe it's the damage increase by the weapons attribute that still triggers whilst the basic requirement of the weapon is dependent on another attribute.

dervish casters... and op scythe warriors ;D

And melee groups of 7warrs and 1ranger ;D

Or huge dervish caster groups around a mesmer?

lol those skills are fun! Now I'd love to log in and see my warrior with str 18 and axe, hammer, sword, scythe attris at 20 and probably I'd even have attribute points left over... did anyone do that? I'd love see a screen

you got a bit sloppy toward the upper gold value range... ;D I've seen up to 620 at least!

On a more serious note: those are insane - some are fun, others incredible. I'm esp jealous of some items with a certain skin - as one might have guessed ... ;D but those caster crysta, swamp club, q7 hammer... rare to see these items these days - glad they are taken care of

A6 10e

B11 10e

B15 5e

Thank you

don't merch the shield - q9 dualmod max will get you at least 5-10e seeing it's even useable e.g. for warr on HP chestrun (and certainly others) could imagine it going slightly higher...

Quote from Moon

That plagueborn shield

my thought exactly! But also that gothic defender... :O

here's the recorded highest dmg ranges for any req: GW gear stat ranges and Gallery - Rebirth

Indeed 10-35 is max for q6. 10-xx scythes aren't too rare - but they only come up to 35 higher dmg. A insc max for req specimen is nice yet there is (to my knowledge) no specific use for this. Might be some odd sc niche market opens or anything but other than that it's a collectorpiece. I'd not expect much more than 15e but maybe...

H145 h148 3a/ea

on areas with multiple entrance logging the differences would definitely interesting. I could definitely imagine that ther may be differences...

What xander said is again something different which I want to question - are we sure the chests are already "generated" upon entering the area? I wouldn't know a way to check that though other than some "hacking" where one would search the data. The foes seem to be generated, otherwise the counter on a vanquish couldn't work (I mean the progress bar part). Thoughts?

@ardunain sry seems I missed your post only taking singlemods in q9 or lower anymore. Thanks for the offer though!

Invokeur thanks a lot for the offer! I do however already have a q8 version of this. You can try with zaishen - he likes tower shields and defenders as well

This is a bump

the combination is rather wanted! there are some nicer skins amongst and some average. the average higher reqs I see in the range ardunain gave (aegis, tall shield, cele and ornate) the others can probably go even higher. Nice collection set - don´t give up too soon - there´s not too many missing! regarding the "set price" - probably it wouldn´t fetch more in a set, since those shields are usually used rather than collected so ppl would only want single ones. Some might find a place in someones collection of a certain shield skin.

Quote from Red Fireball

I doubt we will find one with higher damage - I guess 10-35 is just the highest possible 10-xx dmg scythe and it will probably (telling by unid value) be able to drop up to q10 at least - the real challenge is to find them all q7-q10 or maybe q6 even...?

Quote from Kov

Found this bad boy! looking for a pc as well

I had guessed it could drop - glad you noticed!
