See attached.

Sorry if I'm duping a topic, the seller told me he bought for cheap soon after preview. no more information...

If anyone can shed any light please feel free.

ALSO

Try not to let this descend into flames: we all know some of us disagree on the importance of rare items, so let's keep that argument to a minimum if possible.

Uh okay? How common are they?

Mournblade · Aug 28, 2007, 12:53 PM // 12:53

Apparently dwarven axes are drops in GWEN also.

Umm, why cry?

It was ugly overpriced skin, now it will be just another ugly skin.

It just gets status it deserves.

(Yes, i have one of theese, even customized, but i dont give a **** about market value.)

If there is something to cry about, its people who value their collection for its market price rather just because they like those weapons themselves.

Besides: Reall collectiors have old style ones without inscription slots, those wont loose any value, but in fact gain it.

Actually, it was a pun. Crystaline, get it? I was just having some fun...

And as I stated in the OP: please keep aggressive opinions out of this, they don't add any value at all.

Err, sure, it will gain value with the collectors, but the other 99.9% of the market will want inscribable because they're more functional. So the value is still going to go down because of a flood of Crystallines, no way around that.

Haha, yeah I get it. Talking about drop in GW:EN, on sunday I got a gold Zodiac sword r11, non-inscripable dropped from a really big chest after I killed that lv28 Ice-elemental boss. I forgot the name of that cave, it's north of the wolf shire.

So is this mean all of the rare skin stuffs will start to drop in GWEN both as inscripable and non-inscripable now?

wilderness · Aug 28, 2007, 01:12 PM // 13:12

Please, try to keep discussion of rare vs fair to a minimum; I doubt anyone here really wants another one of those threads, ty.

I'm looking for further confirmation - perhaps even a ss of a drop - of these dropping in EoTN.

Yes, you got it right.

Crystalines for masses will be dirt cheap ... to extent that merching r10+ could be normal.

Collectors will be somewhat happy, Masses will be somewhat happy. its Win/Win.

It will stay same - 0.1 percent of market will have something that others could envy and 99.9 will have cheap "made in china" version. Because both things will be same skin is irrelevant.

Not if - and I'm assuming this is the case - your item dropped without an inherent modifier. In inscription areas, gold weapons can drop with no inscription slots.

Omg..

GG...

Sorry I should have put it on my earlier post. The sword came with inherent mod, 15^ -10 armor, +5 armor.

We'll have to see a screen of an inherent EoTN drop before we can regard this information. No offense

None taken, wild. That's the thing, didnt take a screen of it. Got it on my ranger and id it later with my monk. Didnt think anything of it and just wonder that Z-Sword skin dropped there. I'm not pulling your leg or anything.

You mean 'as rare', and that's a silly statement. Black is more desired because the common consensus is black = cool. Black has connotations of: evil, badass, slick.. all sorts. Sunshine yellow on necro FoW really doesn't have the same "I'm going to feast on your insides and exploit your corpse" attitude as Jet black.

Your former statement: Crystalines are ugly, is what's known as an opinion, and those happen to be subjective. Look those words up, you seem to think the connotation relates to fact more

Stoking the fire ftl, but I couldn't help myself...

As far as I know, the reward chests at dugenons drop gold items, gems and greens. Do purples drop from these chests?

I believe that the purple inscribable one in that image is either a drop or from a locked chest. All will become clear soon.

So far, Tyrian Sickles, Tribal Axes and Dwarven axes have beein confirmed to drop as max gold items so the possibilities are endless...

Edit: When it comes down to opinions, I like the Crystalline skin and I'd be pleased if EotN offered max inscribables because I don't want to shell out in excess of 200 ectos for one. Now Dwarven Axes are ugly, puny things. =)

zwei2stein · Aug 28, 2007, 01:46 PM // 13:46

Anyway, as far as source of inscribable crystalines goes, i would bet on frostmaws dungeon.

Theme and other rewards (Diamond) Strongly suggest it to be best place to get one.

Considering that its one of dungeons that will likely be farmed a lot (Diamonds) ...
