Taken from EBgames:

- Glacial Blade Cold damage: 15-22 (Requires 9 Swordsmanship)Damage +15% (While Enchanted) Special Note: This item can be upgraded with a Sword Pommel

- Darksteel Longbow - Piercing damage: 15-28 (Requires 9 Marksmanship) Armor penetration +20% (Chance: 20%) Damage +15% Energy -5 Special Note: This item can be upgraded with a Bow Grip

- Hourglass Staff Energy +15 Fire damage: 11-22 (Requires 9 Divine Favor)Fire damage: 11-22 (Requires 9 Fast Casting)Fire damage: 11-22 (Requires 9 Soul Reaping) Fire damage: 11-22 (Requires 9 Energy Storage) Fire damage: 11-22 (Requires 9 Spawning Power) Halves skill recharge of spells (Chance: 20%) Halves casting time of spells (Chance: 10%) Health +45 (While Enchanted) Special Note: This item cannot be upgraded

So you get two completely useless items since they're uninscribable and then a spiritbinder for all classes.

hoo-ray?

Well, let's wait 'til we see the skin to start whining.

Selket · Jul 18, 2007, 03:14 PM // 15:14

Because skin is more important than stats?

lollll

HayesA · Jul 18, 2007, 03:14 PM // 15:14

Yeh; the skins are supposedly a few skins whom won the design a weapon contest. ;-) So, they're guarenteed to rawk.

WinterSnowblind · Jul 18, 2007, 03:19 PM // 15:19

We've known these stats for a few days.

I don't see the problem. They're not THAT bad, the sword can at least have a pommel attached. They're pretty much the same as most of the other bonus weapons we get, not great, but pretty useful for starting new characters and giving to Heroes.

What were you expecting? Perfect Max Greens?

KiyaKoreena · Jul 18, 2007, 03:19 PM // 15:19

Just because an item is not inscribable does not mean it is useless. Yeesh. Plus I think the staff stats are just fine for most people.

Cacheelma · Jul 18, 2007, 03:20 PM // 15:20

Rawk? Right. It's gonna rock your world even more when nearly EVERYBODY is using them.

Divinus Stella · Jul 18, 2007, 03:24 PM // 15:24

The sword is great for a conjure warrior, but the rest are useless crap.

Pretty much. You'd have to be retarded to expect them to give you the weapon that would coincidently match your build perfectly. They're more like novelties to look at, like festival hats.

Conjure Frost?

keli · Jul 18, 2007, 03:30 PM // 15:30

yes they will give us a staff with +150 energy 250-350 dmg and 100% casting time, and bow with 8500^50...

Sure, why not. People are paying good money for them.

However, many people are expecting something better than perfect max greens. Make them fully moddable. The former pre-release items should be made fully moddable, and so should these. Absolutely no reason to not do that.

I fail to see why anyone would wanna pay real-life money for weapons that are less moddable than in-game collector weapons are.

lyra_song · Jul 18, 2007, 03:52 PM // 15:52

Hero weapons.

Hurray.

Now everyone shut up. ;P

Go to every character, type /bonus and all your heroes are hooked up.

Doesn't GWEN have 10 heros? I got pre-order weapons for Sins, Rits, Para, Derv and now ill get weapons for Warrior, Ranger and Casters. GG.

Coridan · Jul 18, 2007, 03:55 PM // 15:55

because of vanity. the only reason anyone plays with any "special" item...we/they/I am vain and want my items to look cool.. These skins will probably only be available to the preorder weapons. like that shield was...hrm from Goty? or one of the pre release packs.

keli · Jul 18, 2007, 03:56 PM // 15:56

well in hungary i got the pre-release for free..

Levi Garett · Jul 18, 2007, 04:04 PM // 16:04

Awesome. I can trash them and remake them as many times as I like. Disposable weapons are FTW.

These are probably catered towards use on peoples heroes btw...

ZenRgy · Jul 18, 2007, 04:10 PM // 16:10

+15% enchanted, cold damage.

Use Conjure Frost gogogo.

Healers Wisper · Jul 18, 2007, 04:27 PM // 16:27

I really dont think these are all that bad, they work for heros which is where most of these weapons go anyways. And really for the most part they are free, the $5 is really to reserve your copy of gw:en at most places. No real complants here.

lol. pay good money? you funny, funny man. the pack is $5, and that $5 goes towards the purchase of GWEN. yeah, sorry you dont get to empty your life savings, but its free.

as for the weapons.... dislike the staff, like the other two. unique... thats what i like to see

Traveller · Jul 18, 2007, 04:30 PM // 16:30

That staff will replace the Spiritbinder as my standard hero staff.

And yes, if that sword is the design contest winner, then I'll definately use it no matter what stats it comes with.
