Need help with a list: Which weapons don't come inscribable ? - Guild Wars Forums

take_me · Apr 14, 2009, 12:35 PM // 12:35

Hi everyone. I'm currently working on a wiki-page covering some facts that are not written down anywhere.

One of my points is making a list of all weapons that don't come inscribable.

Items that dont come inscribable

Shields
* Ornate Shield
* Echovald Shield
* Bladed Shield
* Gothic Defender
* Amber Aegis
* Outcast Shield
* Plagueborn Shield
* Diamond Aegis (req Strength) (Tactics can be found inscribable)
* Iridescent Aegis (req Strength) (almost sure, but please correct me if this is wrong) (Tactics can be found inscribable)

Staves
* Celestial Staff
* Dragon Staff
* Bo Staff
* Cockatrice Staff
* Forbidden Staff
* Amber Staff
* Jade Staff
* Outcast Staff
* Plagueborn Staff

Scepters, Wands, Rods, etc
* Celetial Scepter
* Koi Scepter
* Plagueborn Scepter
* Jade Wand
* Amber Wand

Offhands
* Paper Fan
* Jug
* Plagueborn Focus
* Paper Lantern
Not complete. Didnt check all skins yet. Will update soon

Axes
* Kaineng Axe
* Crude Axe (Canthan Skin)
* Jade Axe
* Serpent Axe (Canthan skin)
* Plagueborn Axe
* Krytan Axe
* White Reaver
* Hatchet (unsure, please post if you know)
* Cleaver (Canthan Skin) (unsure, please post if you know)
* Rusty Axe (very unsure, please post if you know)

Swords
* Oni Blade
* Plagueborn Sword
* Icy Dragon Sword (always gold req9, 15^50)
* Gladius (Short Sword Skin) (again, very unsure)
* Shadow Blade (unsure)
* Tribal Blade (does not even exist in gold or purple, but unsure if it exists blue and inscribable)

Hammers
* Jade Hammer
* Marble Hammer
* Plagueborn Maul
* Colossal Pick
* Giant Slayers Hammer (unsure, please post here if you know)
* Swamp Club
* War Hammer (Ram's Hammer / Giant Slayers Hammer / Swamp Club skin) (unsure, please post if you know)

Bows
* Plagueborn Bows (Recurve Bow, Hornbow)
* Naga Bows (Shortbow, Longbow)
* Jade and Amber Longbow (unsure about those, can anyone confirm?)
* Shadow Bow (unsure, please post)

Daggers
* Jade Daggers (could anyone confirm this?)
* Oni Daggers (what about those ?)
* Plagueborn Daggers

So if you have any more weapons to add (please be 100% sure), let me know.

Items that only exist inscribable for certain attributes

A second list is supposed to cover all items that basically exist inscribable, but not with all attributes, like Zodiac Staves, Platinum Staves etc.
If you have anything to add here, let me know. Of course this list only has Caster-items (and maybe shields).

So far my list goes like this:

* Zodiac Staff and Scepter: Divine Favor, Energy Storage, Soul Reaping, Spawning Power, Inspiration Magic
* Platinum Staff and Wand: Divine Favor, Energy Storage, Soul Reaping, Spawning Power, Inspiration Magic (only Staff), Domination Magic (only Wand)
* Wayward Wand: Divine Favor, Energy Storage, Soul Reaping, Spawning Power, Inspiration Magic

@Forum-mod: I wasnt exactly sure where to put this. Please move my thread if this is the wrong place.

I will be updating my wiki-page soon with some more points, like some facts about shields, slaying mods and whatever I can think of^^

Thanks for reading and for your help.
~Take Me

@Slabby: Thanks. Added the items to my list
@notskorn: Ye, I have never seen a single Plagueborn item with inscription

@Lynette: Thanks. It'S not necessary that I see it ingame. I believe you^^
@bywa: Thanks

Ye it's obvious, but I somehow didnt think of it.
@LicensedLuny: Thanks for the screenshots.

@free_fall: Thanks, removed it from my list. Thanks for the screenie. I appreciate everyone's help

@Pleikki: Ye, me neither. It's on my list ^^

Slabby · Apr 14, 2009, 01:35 PM // 13:35

You can add Oni Blades to your list, as well as the Canthan Crude Axe and the Jade Axe.
I'm not 100% sure about Kaineng Axes but I guess they don't come inscribable too.

MagmaRed · Apr 14, 2009, 01:57 PM // 13:57

Zaishen Chest makes all skins inscribable.

take_me · Apr 14, 2009, 02:00 PM // 14:00

Thanks Slabby. I updated my post.

I knew this post would come. No, Z-Chest does NOT drop all weapons. That's why I am making this list.

Covah · Apr 14, 2009, 02:17 PM // 14:17

I have found its mainly factions only skins that don't come inscrip. Can't really add anything to your list atm.

Tom Swift · Apr 14, 2009, 04:19 PM // 16:19

But how do we know for sure these do not drop from the Zaishen chest?

Has anyone from ANet said so?

In any case, do you want to add skins available to PvE through collectors only such as the lotus staff?

take_me · Apr 14, 2009, 04:49 PM // 16:49

The Zaishen Chest has been there for more than 16 months and is being opened thousands of times each day.

No, ANET didn't say anything about those items, but after such a long time one of these items would have found its way to a forum or caught attention ingame, so it is safe to say those don't exist.

I only need items available from PvE and not from collectors like the Plasma Blade or Lorus Staff, like you said.

notskorn · Apr 14, 2009, 05:30 PM // 17:30

I think you're right about the plagueborn stuff. Pretty sure if you look through the zaishen drops thread you will not see any of it. If you were so inclined you could probably just look through that thread and cross off the gold items that are posted and figure out what doesn't drop that way.

The inscribable versions of wayward wands for Mesmer come in inspiration. I can show you one in game if you'd like.

This list is a great idea, btw

bywa · Apr 14, 2009, 08:22 PM // 20:22

this is obvious but maybe you should add IDS

LicensedLuny · Apr 16, 2009, 01:07 AM // 01:07

Ok, I know Falchions and Short Swords come inscribable. Here's screenshots of the examples I have on my characters. I don't recall where I found these, but given the reqs I strongly suspect I found them as my own drops rather than buying them from other players (who'd have kept them to sell in the first place?) If they were my own drops then they didn't come from PvP, and it's unlikely they came from a reward-type chest. I have all 3 campaigns and EotN, so I can't narrow the source down further.

In the list of axes, you might need to add "Halo Axe." I haven't heard of those ever being inscribable.

This is a great idea for a list! Thanks for taking it on.

Cheers,
Luny

free_fall · Apr 16, 2009, 03:54 AM // 03:54

Inscribable Spathas drop in NF, I have a purple and a couple of gold ones.

Yay, it worked, only took me 45 mins to figure out how to do it. lol

Pleikki · Apr 16, 2009, 04:09 AM // 04:09

Not quite sure but, Paper Lantern? Wiki atleast says its random canthan drop and ive never seen inscriable one

1337 H4X · Apr 16, 2009, 04:26 AM // 04:26

To LicensedLuny - My dunk has a insc halo axe

take_me · Apr 16, 2009, 01:57 PM // 13:57

Thanks for all the posts so far. I have updated my list and added a few Axes which I'm unsure about.

Will add more in today, so please check this thread.

If you have a weapon on my list with inscription, please post a screenshot
