After spending so much time doing this chest run, I can confirm that this is the (very, very) rarest drop. (Ghostly staff inscr. purple q8, 11-21, with 20% HSR).

Ok, now does this mean you're stuck trying for the set of all attribs?

You cannot obtain all existing attributes for Ghostly Staff in purple. Compared to the gold versions, it will be missing: Energy Storage, Inspiration, and Soul Reaping (only from Z chest). Obtaining all the others this way (14) in q8, 11-21, 20% HSR is very, very difficult. After +20k chests, i dropped.. 2

Figured it was time to get this one up and running again...if need be someone will merge it with the old one (wont be me though)

so let us know what good (or really bad) things happened for you today while playing!

November 2025 thread update:

edit: by bsoltan - I'm hijacking this first post to make it clear that this thread is related to the Xunlai Market area and for ITEMs / Goods found/dropped/traded in-game and not for General 'this is a cool thing that is happening'.

This has long been the content of this thread but occasionally it got sidetracked by other content/posts which should really belong in a separate thread/their own thread.

Please create posts in more appropriate forum sections as needed.

Thanks.

Disagree.

It would have been better to move the topic to General or another section. As pointed out in the first post, this thread is for sharing what happened to us in the game, in general terms, and item drops are part of that, but many other things could be related to this topic. Would that mean that another topic would have to be created in exactly the same way, except that it would not concern objects?

Edit: and by moving messages to other topics (more appropriate?), this has created threads that are no longer concise, with contributors repeating what was here, losing clarity. In that case, deleting them would have been better.

Quote from Kryth Builds

This is just my 2 cents but I believe that when they add the huge graphical overhaul, they'll allow for an option to play in the legacy version under the Graphics Tab (kinda like being able to turn Post Processing on and off - tho this might require a full restart of the game if and when u switch) so that players can choose to enjoy the nostalgia when they want.

I feel it is going to be several toggles, to be honest. It doesn't seem like it's a full graphical remaster but rather a lot of rendering improvements.

Quote

"It's not a remaster, but we've really focused on modernizing the experience and reacting to the big influx of new and returning players around the anniversary, and finding all the limitations the game had with modern PCs,"

Kryth Builds You can find pictures of the graphic redesign via the thread on IGN (link to first post). It's a redesign in the sense that it adapts to 4K screens and PCs that are more recent than when GW was released, including the interface (UI), in terms of resolution (pixels). That's it, there's no need for an option to go back, it's useless.

If you have the reference...

There are also pictures from the Reforged game in the article. I don't see the difference with the current graphics

• Furthermore, the price point will be lowered to $20 for the complete package for newcomers, but will be a free update for current owners of the game. A free update for all existing Guild Wars players — including free upgrades to expansions — and with a new $20 price point for new players.
• One of the larger motivators for the Reforged edition of Guild Wars was to build upon support for the game on Steam Deck

Quote from ripbb

I'm just cautious and hopeful that they won't mess up the current state of the game either on the technical or on the economical side of things (thinking of gems premium currency for legacy content)

I had thought about it a few times. The current illegal sellers could be replaced by GW's gem system, with a major update to the store, which would offer more items, objects, etc. But this is unlikely because they would then have to maintain this site and offer additional content regularly .

Otherwise, for the rest, wait and see...

Quote from Neutral_CH

I agree with that too, but why, if it were free for everyone in the future, add: Free to existing Guild Wars owners! This would imply that it will not be free for future buyers after this update? Otherwise, why specify it? A communication/marketing error? Added to the store after December 3?

So people who own the game know they don't need to pay for it?

And ofc it won't be free for new players, they don't own the game and therefore need to buy the game. It's a base game update not an additional pack

In fact, the message should be in this case:

- No additional purchase required (or) free update (or) nothing.

But not: for players who have already purchased the game. This reminds me of the 20th anniversary update, with the picture of the TA outpost. It was removed afterwards because it was clumsy and had nothing to do with the update.

So, in the end, I think it was a communication error on their part to have expressed this message in these terms, and that it will be free for everyone.

Quote from Forty Second Rogue

At this point , anything they are doing to improve and revise the game is a welcome addition, especially free of charge.

Basically, the game will be more beautiful and immersive, but still with the same flaws due to its age (no trading post, no bosses in the only elite zone that doesn't have any yet (follow my gaze), no improvements to VS bots in PvP (?) Hmm... should I be excited? Why the sentence?: Free to existing Guild Wars owners!

Quote from Elite Trader D

...

Yes and no.

First, in a case like this:

Go to Guild Wars Legacy, Reddit, and the official GW2 forum (same server as GW1) to see if you're the only one having this problem (or not). In the case of a few hours ago, there were numerous reports of this problem and an official response was posted.

And by the way, if you can connect to other sites and it's not due to the GW server, then the problem is more complex to solve than a simple general network error, so it's easier to go to the GW forums first.

So restarting your PC is not a priority. Otherwise, you can still restart your PC, see that it doesn't change anything, and check the forums or modem, etc.

Hey! I told you, I'm an expert.

Edit: I feel like you were hurt by my negative thumb, so I put Dhumm's scythe in its place instead. Is that better?

Giving code 242 and making me unable to login to any arena net related things (gw, account management via website).

Not so stonks.

Can't fix it

Issu from Anet not you, it's fixed now.

Quote from Neutral_CH

The update note was created by Anet DrStephenCW , so in my opinion it is an error that should be corrected. It is not logical that contradictory items appear in the “Available everywhere” list.

In summary, apart from Spider's Gluttony (which I don't like), what remains as a inscribable Leadership shield skin?

I was talking about the Ominous. I was just saying that the Canthan Targe is Tyria only - and therefor OS only. Like the Japan 1st Anniversary Shield is OS only in Cantha.

And it gets kind of worse imo, I believe your only other options for Leadership "inscribs" are the Hog's Gluttony or Bronze Guardian. Though searching through Kamachat I can only find the Hog's for sale in inscriptable Leadership.

Life is pretty awful... I mean, the shields that remain with this option

Quote from drink_soy_sauce

I been wondering about this too. I assume it is probably because they accidentally tied it to Factions only. Like the Tyria specific Canthan Targe - and also in Factions - the Japan 1st Anniversary Shield. Or maybe the Ominous is just listed wrong on Guild Wiki. Either way, hope they don't change it.

The Canthan Targe is tied to Proph because it was a Proph preorder item, it's not a mistake.

Zut, I forgot to specify that it's a inscribable version

Ominous dont drop in inscr

It should be like other skins updated during the 20th anniversary and, depending on the update, fall everywhere.

C'est une découverte magnifique. Tant les excellentes statistiques du marteau que le skin élégant et la superbe présentation en quatre captures d'écran magistrales soigneusement sélectionnées flattent l'œil de l'observateur.
