"Splinter Weapon" changing staff skin? - Guild Wars Forums

Fril Estelin · Feb 01, 2008, 11:06 AM // 11:06

Hi,

When playing with Sab's build (a.k.a. Triple Necro Venquish) last week, I noticed something I did not see before when I was casting spells (with an ele char) or may be when enchanted: my staff changed skin.

Could it be due to "Splinter Weapon"? (no info on that in the wiki or on GWG either)

Pictures:

with modified staff

with normal Mursaat staff

Thanks for your help!

thats for all weapon spells......its been there since the release of factions and affects all weapons

N1ghtstalker · Feb 01, 2008, 11:21 AM // 11:21

Tutis Evito · Feb 01, 2008, 11:24 AM // 11:24

Fril Estelin · Feb 01, 2008, 11:53 AM // 11:53

Wiki shows the skin for other weapons:

Weapon skins under Weapon spell

One time, I have one guy - a tank - ask me to stop putting weapon spell on him because its ruining his colossal scimitar sword.

Well, I hope you're ready for a big, huge scoop, because I did. And this is not a lie.

May I suggest that you learn some manners? (don't look on the wiki how to do that, because it's not there)

tons of people ask questions on this forum everyday. most of these people just need to be directed to wiki. if you already know of the wiki, its very helpful if you would actually take a quick look at wiki to see if the information is there.

Yeah I know all that as I said before (I thought it was clear). I guess you don't make mistakes. Lucky you!

Snograt · Feb 02, 2008, 05:26 PM // 17:26

Ok, just to stop the back and forth bickering, it's like this: Fril went on the wiki and checked Splinter Weapon to see if that was what was causing the skin change - there was no information on that on the Splinter Weapon page. The correct info was to be found on the Weapon Spells page, but Fril wasn't to know that.

Sure, the wikis are great for information, but sometimes you need to know WHERE to look, ergo not his fault.

There is an increasing tendency to jump on people with both feet when they ask a question that most people know the answer to already. Chill out, people - not everybody is omniscient.

Gorebrex · Mar 06, 2008, 03:32 PM // 15:32

I found that wiki page today. I originally thought it was due to Bane Signet I cast while on monk quest on Shing Jea(new character). I may have known about it before, but had forgotten. What I'd like to know is, are those skins available anywhere in-game(weapon already has them), or is it only under spell effects you get them? Some of those look really good.

Covah · Mar 06, 2008, 03:38 PM // 15:38

wow necro the thread why don't ya.

No, you can only get those through weapon spells.

Gorebrex · Mar 16, 2008, 11:23 PM // 23:23

Look at my avatar again. lol That kinda sucks, because I really like the look of the weapon spell skin. Ah well.

Mr Emu · Mar 16, 2008, 11:30 PM // 23:30

the axe and bow skins are quite similar to the torm axe/bow

Gorebrex · Mar 17, 2008, 10:58 PM // 22:58

Torm=Torment bow? Never seen one in-game before, but Im guessing theres a pic on wiki

Edit: Just looked it up on wiki, and I wont have one for a long time, if ever, because they're a Nightfall weapon, and I don't have NF. If they drop in EotN, maybe, but otherwise, none for me.
