The Good:
For Swords I have to give it up to the Zodiac Sword. Nothgin beats that dark skin with the glowing animation.

The Bad:
Crystalines gotta be no good. For such a terrible skin people are willing to give up their life and limb. Yes its rare... but with a skin that bad you can't pay me to buy one. It looks liked a Oversized Butcher Knife made of Sugar Candy.

The Ugly:
Ok this has to be one of the worst skins on the face of the earth but it still sells for over 80k. It's none other than Kanaxai's Edge. This skin is so terrible that if you asked a noob in prophesies if they wanted to buy it without showing stats, they would say no way [email protected]!@ you probably found that in presearing. And get called an scammer or worst.... an iway nub. Yes the Crenellated skin is that ugly!

now lets hear your goods bads and uglys ...

Ulivious The Reaper · Jul 10, 2006, 02:27 PM // 14:27

now for me :0

The GOOD:
Gothic stuff in general, they just came out very well in looks

The bad:
Plaugeborn sheilds, 100% stupid, i mean seriously who wants a meat-sheild when thats all you are? a giant meat sheild for the PuG to hide behind atleast give us a sheild that would look like it'd stop somfin

The ugly:
Celestial hammers.. i mean come on, look at them they look like a giant turkey baster dipped in purple metallic paint.. gaah so ugly XD

Ira Blinks · Jul 10, 2006, 02:32 PM // 14:32

Most celestial weapon models are way too "fat", don't know why people like them so much...

Have yet to see a single decent staff/wand/focus model in Cantha. Most of them are pure crap and some are ok'ish...

Zodiac Axe is a lame hatchet with a light... fugly...

Kanaxai's Axe has very nice look, tho it is too small to be warrior weapon.

Love the look of plagueborn hammer. Very pro design. True warrior weapon.

Mr D J · Jul 10, 2006, 02:51 PM // 14:51

The Good:
I really like Mammoth Axe

The Bad:
Celestal Weapons of course

The Ugly:
Some of the plagueborn stuff

Ventius Hozza · Jul 10, 2006, 02:59 PM // 14:59

The Good
Probably Mammoth Axes, Hand Axes, Plagueborn Swords and Oni Blades. But how can we forget the good old Tyrian Sickle - now they were pro, until they got nerfed into a green item... pfft.

The Bad
Kanaxai's Axe - Did it get shrunk in the wash? Also, all of the rarer items, like Crystallines, Dwarven Axes and Serpent axes - rubbish.

The Ugly
Has to be Celestial and Zodiac stuff. I absolutely despise them. Too fat, too shiny, too fugly. This isn't Toys'r'us Wars.

Hyper Cutter · Jul 10, 2006, 03:20 PM // 15:20

Good: Celestial Longbow, Aureate Daggers, Fellblade
Bad: Oni Blade (shouldn't that skinny middle bit break?)
Ugly: Plagueborn junk. I want to wield something partially made of Afflicted why?

Goats17 · Jul 10, 2006, 03:41 PM // 15:41

Good: Crenellated Sword, Dragincrest Axe
Bad: Oni stuff
Ugly: Yeah, Plagueborn crap.

Jetdoc · Jul 10, 2006, 04:19 PM // 16:19

The Mursaat stuff, maybe. I can't seem to go five feet without tripping over Plagueborn crap... and it's all purple and non-max into the bargain...

Sora · Jul 10, 2006, 06:34 PM // 18:34

The good:
The typical Longsword, Platinum Bow/Staff, Zodiac Bow/Sword, Sephis Axe, Gothic Axe....can't think of any more right now

The bad:
I would say the Fellblade, Crenellated Sword, Oni Blade, Sickle(from both Tyria and Cantha) , Holy Branch and most of the hammer

The Ugly:
Celestials, Plagueborns, Zodiac Hammer/Axe, Jade/Amber Bow, Vertebreaker, Wicked Blade, Straw Effigy(I guess no one is willing to see one comes out from the chest...)

SnipiousMax · Jul 10, 2006, 06:37 PM // 18:37

1.) The Good:

Crenellated Swords - Easily my favorite new skin.
Jade, Amber, Bramble, Ironwing bow skins

2.) The Bad:

Caster Items in general - unimpressive and lacking besides the fact that it's statisticly impossible to find the skin you want with stats you want.

Warrior Shields - The unique and intresting skins are all too small (ie, exalted aegis)

3.) The Ugly:

Cyrstaline Swords - I'm sorry, I don't see anything impressive or appealing about this skin.

Generic Bow Skin

lyra_song · Jul 10, 2006, 06:38 PM // 18:38

Good: Platinum Weapons, Gothic Weapons, Ornate shield, Mursaat Weapons, Tyrian Sickle, Shadow Blade, Winged Staff, Dragon Staff, Holy Branch, Gemstone staff

Have any of you seen the Glowing Runic Maul skin? I'd like to know what category most people would put that in...I've only ever seen one so i think it might be rare but rarity means nothing if people don't like it (espescially since its a hammer)

I've had one but it after u wield it... it soon just looks like a rock with glowing writing... only if it wasn't a rock on a stick...

Amity and Truth · Jul 10, 2006, 10:49 PM // 22:49

Good:
Zodiac Staffs. Seriously, i like them. Now to find one with good stats on it.

Bad:
Zodiac Swords. Absolutely fricking ugly. A blue candy sword with 5 LEDs in it. Just... drop...dead... ugly.

Weapon Enchantments. The ones the ritualist gives you. They could be nice, if their texture would not be so absolutely inferior to even Duke Nukem 3D Textures...

Ugly:
Shiros Sword. Cooome oooon, the sword itself is nice but why, oh why does it have to be the size of a pocket knive? Look's ridiculous on a warrior. The blades for the 'sins are fine though.

Vertebreaker. Sorry if i offend anyone but the design itself allready isn't that great and the in game implementation is a pure nightmare. And if that's not enough, any SNES Game has a higher texture resolution.

Crystalline Sword. Wow, the first time i saw this i was like "Dude, your sword is seriously glitched.". Well, the person i said it to was my first ignorelist entry as well

Finally, many weapons could be a lot lot better if they were resized to proper sizes or had their textures reworked to not look fricking low res and low budget.

Former Ruling · Jul 11, 2006, 01:52 AM // 01:52

Good:

Swords - Broadsword is great for small casters, or female warriors. I use Rajazan's Fervor over the totem axe on my 55 just because of the skin. For a manly warrior, Crenellated is nice and big and simple. Fellblades are big, but just comically big so Crenellated gets it.

Axe - Don't like many axes (Many of them are too small even even held by a caster...) So I have to go with Sephis Axe skin...Nice and decorated and big. Cantha can only compete with the Gemstone Axe (Gothic/Dual and P.Born look good, but are small).

Hammers - Get the jip skin wise :\ The simple Ball Hammer looks better than most others. P.Born in Cantha is alright but small for my tastes.

I wont do bad or ugly because IMO most skins are bad or ugly...

Worst thing is how SMALL MOST WEAPONS ARE. Most swords are like butter knives held by big warriors, Most axes aren't even as big as swords, and hammers just frankly get jipped. The other problem is the texturing...not enough pixels going into the design or something.
