Everyone is chasing these skins in perfect stats, why? to make themeselves different than the average player, thats why we are willing to buy FOW armor and crystaline swords, etc. So Now that everyone can get a perfect sickle (and I am assuming at some point) fellblade skins, crystaline skins, serpent axe, dwarven axe, etc., will get a green variation, so you will not be able to look different from everyone else, UNTIL...... chapter 2 comes out. Then people will pay god aweful prices for the rare skin weapons and look cool wielding them for a while, till Chp 3 is about to release, which by then they will have greens of all the chp 2 rare skins, and the cycle repeats. Thats my theory anyways, so the market will swing at the begining and end of each chapter. So I dont think this hurts the market in the long run, just a cycle that we will probably see.

Just got one...
Milius' Eye (req 9 Energy Storage) (honest)
Energy +12
Reduces Daze duration on you by 20%
health +45 (while enchanted)

These Weapons drops from 3 mes bosses called Darkness. What's cool is that when you finish, loads of lost souls pop up out of the ground and applaude. I guess the dev's have read that thread on FoW and UW completion

Indeed.

I am sure there will be new replacement uber rare items from the expansion.

Quite probably.

There will still be a market for these items because the greens are not modable, which is what a lot of people are complaining about now and saying that green items are dead (see green item price guide last few pages). So someone who doesn't necessarily want a sundering sickle of fortitude will still pay for a good max dmg sickle that can be modded, but the price will become such that more people can afford them.

Yup.

i mean this will screw up the market so bad imo that trading what alot of poeple do wont be fun / affective anymore

everything will drop in price so much ect ect.

ktadie · Jan 19, 2006, 10:23 PM // 22:23

hmmm... so u can get them from HoH and the new UW ?

and is it just me, or is Anet trying to get us to do more pvp?
since they added them in the end chest in HoH, many ppl
would be desperate to get one and do more pvp to get there...

Theres assassing greens aswel, just finished a run in there, i got some crappy green hammer which is still on the floor there, alot of the items are pure crap tho, looks like the warriors are the ones gettin all the groovy skins.

I joined in a group of stranger n enter the tomb portal to investigate the chaos problem (the whole jopurney take abt 4 hours)

our grp consist of
3 monk ( i am protector , 2 healer)
2 warriors
1 ranger
1 mesmer
1 elemtalist ( water magic user)

one warrior drop out, n lastly 1monk drop out due to bad connection. so at the end we left with 6 folks , we fought hard and we killed the darkness n won HOH.

well we spent like 4 hours inside , and we won ^_^. i got myself Elsynth recurve bow
From the msg text : i read there are these following new green items :

1) millius eye (elemtalist green )
2) wenslaught faith ( monk green ?)
3) Victor bulwark (warrior green ? )
4) kole gauntlet (necro)
5) elsywth recurve bow
6) illyana staff

I agree. Every major update has screwed up the trading economy.

Scutilla · Jan 19, 2006, 10:37 PM // 22:37

Pardon me, but I don't see how dropping prices is a bad thing, esp. considering ANet's philosophy of powerful items being accessible to all.

That's a subject for another thread though- let's keep this to just posting pics of the awesome new greens

Two April Mornings · Jan 19, 2006, 10:41 PM // 22:41
