More specifically, inscribable versions of items that are normally non-writable are writable due to oversights on the part of the game designers. For some monsters these, the drop updates have not been updated. This is normally the case when a monster is integrated into a campaign other than the one it originated from. It is the instanced area, linked to the campaign, that will determine whether or not objects are inscribable.

Also this was the case for the 2010 Halloween mausoleum quest. The instanced area was defined as part of a campaign where only non-inscribable drops could be obtained. However, monsters could drop non-inscribable spears and scythes. These monsters were also linked to the NF campaign in terms of drops and normally only drop inscribable items. This also caused a bug with items with an additional bonus. Unfortunately, this is not the case for inscribable weapons of NF.

For example:

• Terrorweb Dryder in NF/Realm of Torment = Eternal Shield, Eternal Bow, Storm Bow, and Ghostly Staff.
• Original Prophecy Titans, but found in NF/Realm of Torment = Magma Shield (see other?).
• Obsidian Furnace Drake at NF/quest: Drakes on the Plain = Shadow Shield (see other?).

Note: Just like the non-inscribable blue Eternal Shields, the inscribable 8/15 and 8/16 versions rarely come with a inscribable slot, unfortunately.

Quote from Elite Trader D

How did you eventually get this to clear if you did? Full restart or something else?

Yes, I solved it.

First, I copied the files again from programs x86 in the original installation, the one for my main account, which wasn't buggy, to the folder for my second account.

Same thing So at this point, we already know that it's not a hardware issue.

I noticed that when I log in for the first time on a character from the second account, after (re)launching the game, this bug occurs once I select a mercenary hero from the group. It crashes and then spreads like a virus to my non-mercenary heroes.

In short, I wanted to delete all the mercenaries on the main character of the secondary account. Before when I remove the runes from these mercenaries, the icons return to normal (but not overall, just when I do it...). I removed all the runes and weapons from all the mercenaries. Then I quit (restarted the game or the character) and nothing happened, not bug. You have to do this for each character with all these mercenaries, just in case. Then, after seeing that it worked and that I couldn't find the bug, I re-equipped everything. Everything is working normally again.

My theory?

I have sometimes changed the names and appearances of mercenaries without deleting them. Let me explain... I have a mercenary in slot 3 with the NPC [Mercenary Registrar]. I create a PvP character with the same profession as the one I'm going to delete in order to change its appearance and name. So I delete the mercenary from slot 3 and replace it with the one I created. Since it has the same profession, there's no need to remove the runes and weapons. I think the game misinterpreted this at some point.

Or not In any case, removing the runes and weapons from all mercenary heroes, logging out, then re-equipping everything works.

While I was away, I think my heroes were having orgies..  (At the same time, by forcing them to stockpile mountains of alcohol consumables and processing tonics...)

(I didn't have TB++ or any other third-party software open at the time).

Edit:

Hi,

Today I would like to expand my tutorial mentioned in my signature. To do so, I am looking for some information. Perhaps you can help me with this (it takes a long time to search through the guru archives and wiki update notes).

I am looking for:

• The date of the update that fixed the guild hall bug, if it exists... Or at least the dates that determine the start and end of this exploit/bug.

  
  

• The date of the update that ended the exploit/bug, which allowed the group leader to disband the group during the countdown before a group entered an instanced area, and then each member of the group could invite players who were not eligible for the instanced area before the countdown ended. Then, the entire group, as well as the ineligible guests, would all find themselves in the instanced zone at the end of the countdown. Or at least the dates that determine the start and end of this exploit/bug. I just remember doing an Urgoz at over 30 one weekend, before an update on Monday prevented it.

You can PM me if you have this information, thank you!

Wait until you hear my most controversial idea - wipe the server clean and have everyone start from scratch.. same level of arms, no pre-nerfs, giving new players and equal opportunity to catch up to legacy players that have xxxxx arms stashed and just hang out in Kama.

It's pointless. It won't stop bots from continuing to do their work. (By the way, no anti-cheat system in a video game works properly without employees to enforce and update it. So on GW1, you can forget about that).

Quote from CrazeyCrazed

I'm amazed and grateful that the game is still up and running after all these years, that's my main thought about the state.

That's the important thing to remember. You're lucky that the servers are still open. Other online games have shut down for less. Play while you can. If you want to complain afterwards, you're free to do so, but it won't change the state of the servers. Be happy that you got to play it in your lifetime. Everything comes to an end (even if sometimes it's a long, drawn-out agony).

PSA: make doubly sure you're using the correct salvage kit

Update 19.08.2025:

• Clarification in some sections (A2-A3-A6-B1-C3) regarding the verification of your character's eligibility (rights) by the game server.

Blue, without inscription or a base, it's worthless to me.

Quote from Bro

Hey, hi 😊 is it a Focus Item or a Weapon?

I think the Fan of Purity is Special in that way, because it's a Wand, only in Gold rarity.

Weapons from Winds of Change that can be exchanged for 15 Ministerial Commendations called Purity weapons, including Fan of Purity, which requires Domination, in the form of a wand (with the skin: Paper Fan, which is normally an existing focus skin), are only purple; there is no gold equivalent.

Talk to: Iza Yoi in Kaineng to see the list ->

296 gold.

(No second bonus = merchant)

My gut feeling tells me that this won't be enough.. in light of today's new posts.

Going to buy a lottery ticket.

Too late, the chance was used during the GW drops.

Hello,

In short, it boils down to finishing the campaigns. Assassin would be the profession of choice, but given the lack of difficulty in NM and the number of hours difference that this will make, other professions could also be chosen. It should be noted that the heroes who accompany him, the builds, i.e. the skills unlocked, and even the mercenary heroes unlocked or not, will make a noticeable difference.

It would be easier to run a character from your new account with an account that is already complete or semi-complete.

The time invested in selling it won't be worth it -> merch

In a subject created 2 years ago, I found the images that had been linked. So it worked (at least for my topic).

thanks!

I pointed out that they should at least offer discounts during the anniversary and Christmas periods. (Tick in my notebook it's done, next..)

I must say that almost all platforms are offering big discounts until July 10. For example, today I got Battlefield: 3, 4 with expansions, harline, expansions of 1 and 2042 for a total of... 9€ -90-95% (to each his own)

Maybe they read my post where I complained and said that every X amount of time, if the official store discounted everything, they'd sell more. (And it's true that they'll sell more)

coinciding with steam sale again

In general, this is the case, I mean that publishers who offer discounts on their site or official platform, cascade down to global sales platforms like Steam automatically and in an automated manner. But! Often with a small percentage added for the platform.

Let me clarify: "PvE is repetitive and easy" when you do /age and get to around 30k hours of play (actually not really, let's say with the open game). Unless you have no life (and even if you are, there are plenty of other games you haven't played yet), you're taking a very long break. I'll be back for the 30th anniversary
