Do you perfer a real gold rolax watch? or just those imatated ones you found in Chinatown for just 10$?

They looks the same in everyway

The main difference is that those replicas probably are low quality.

Scavenger Rage · Sep 07, 2006, 03:30 PM // 15:30

Just found a req.8 14 above brutesword...

OOOOOO if it was gold

Latter.

Ghull Ka · Sep 07, 2006, 05:21 PM // 17:21

Well, 14% is the same as 15% becuase of the way Guild Wars does math. Great drops!

Its just a storm bow and eternal bow. I think "tripping over their feet "to buy them is an overstatement. But yes theres are some of the best purples I've seen lately. Maybe you can find someone who has a fetish for purple and sell sell sell. :]

Collectors> Greens if you don't give a hoot about skins. Why? you can mod them, dye them, and make more without ever coming in contact with a human being except for mods.

what's this 14^50 stuff about

majoho · Sep 08, 2006, 12:52 AM // 00:52

It GW-shorthand for

Damage +14% (while health is above 50%)

That's so true. I had a purple Shadowblade once (Req. 9 and 14^50), and I couldn't even sell it for 2k.

The Silver Star · Sep 11, 2006, 12:42 PM // 12:42

I got a 14^50 req9 Serpent Axe. it was purple obviously the thing is i wouldt of got it so good if it hadnt updated the purples thing because i got it from a FoW reward chest thingy, which are always purple.

Mister O · Sep 11, 2006, 12:48 PM // 12:48

My unmodded purple crystaline sword wins

sold it for 50k

for some reasons purple stuff will always 1% less than perfect

KingKryton · Sep 11, 2006, 01:12 PM // 13:12

i personally dont buy purple mainly because if i have to sell at a later stage it will take so dam long

plus im a sucker for gold

Kais Unduli · Sep 11, 2006, 01:14 PM // 13:14

I've been using purple weapons since before Anet buffed up their stats, mainly because they were cheaper. Why spend 50k+ for a +1% increase in possible damage, when the fuzzy math in game ignores it anyway? Cheap yes, but it's not like gold weapons give off a golden glow or anything. The only way people will know it's gold is if I show them.

Malice Black · Sep 11, 2006, 01:21 PM // 13:21

good purples will only make golds drop in value further.

Once nightfall arrives 99% of the regular tyrain skills will be <50K including such "leet" items as chaos axe fell etc so sell now while you can

Purple ftw, i mean, seriously, how many purple drops have you seen are perfect? NONE (atleast i havn't) so in this case, the purple would be more than the gold,

but to be truthful, lightblue ftw

i'll leave the purples and golds for the people that can afford them and wish to buy them from me

Retribution X · Sep 11, 2006, 07:31 PM // 19:31

I don't buy anything except golds.

I loathe that purple.

thedeadwalk! · Sep 11, 2006, 10:02 PM // 22:02

Just waiting for some more sword mods I like to put on it.

Bokocasso · Sep 11, 2006, 10:32 PM // 22:32

I personally really like these purps, even more than golds. Every time I get a purp drop with max dmg and low req I hope for 14^50. And to be honest, I'd rather like to own a 14^50 req 8 chaos axe that is purp, than a "rare" (LOL!) 15^50 req 8 one. Because the purp one is rarer...

BTW: How much is a purple fellblade/chaos req.x 14^50 worth? If anyone has these contact me ingame cause I want to have one of these. I'd take a req.x 14^50 purp long sword as well. Enlighten me about the value of these items please.
