That update was very nice, glad they fixed the faction and such. Armor upgrade finally. and new unique items that no one knows where they drop! Good job Anet! Way to make people explore for the goods

. Seriously this is what they needed to make PvE interseting again.

During my travels across Tyria and Cantha I have met many people. And while all have a calling of their own—be it soldier, merchant, mercenary, or scribe—each shares a deep appreciation for unique items.

I recently received word—as yet confirmed—that adventurers have found a few items previously unknown to our world. It is unclear from where these items originated, but early reports state that they are of fine craftsmanship, and are unique in appearance. I have spoken with local blacksmiths and craftsmen in both Cantha and Tyria, and none of them will take credit for the creation of these new objects. So many questions come to mind: What are these wonderful items? Where did they come from? Why have they mysteriously arrived? Yet all of these questions are trivial when compared to the biggest question on everyone's mind: Where can they be found?

One thing is certain: These items are very likely to become an object of great desire for collectors everywhere. Such treasures will no doubt catch a fine price for those lucky enough to find them, particularly while they remain elusive. If you are an adventurer looking for the latest in weaponry, or a trader looking to make a quick profit, you should keep your eyes open for these mysterious new wares.

*EDITED* for me being stupid and ignorant

WOOHOOO! And to think I was trying to buy a Drago's 20/20 this afternoon!

Arghargharghargh!

I'm at work and don't get home for another 5 hours!

Wanna play with my Victo's

D'oh. Makes me wish I hadn't sold my 10/10 Victos the day after the 20/20 upgrade for 35k. Oh well. I think I like my zealous chaos axe more.

Anyway, awesome upgrade. Now people who have been whinning about their precious armor that needs to be updated have to find something else to complain about. Granted, you just can't please some people. Any bets on how long it will take before somebody posts something to the effect of "stupid a.net, why did it take them so long to do this. They are the sux. I hate them."

Wow, I'm glad I didn't trash flints wand.. now my ele is over-joyed at the fact it's got a +5 energy bonus on it

matching it to the end-game wayward wands of Cantha.

And my mesmer finally gets to wear her rouge armor again.
