Negative Energy Items? - Guild Wars Forums

tacroy · May 08, 2006, 09:29 PM // 21:29

Are there any offhand items that give you a - to energy? or a + to energy regeneration? I know that there is an item that gives you +15 energy but -1 energy regen, is there an oppisite one?

Thanks.

There aren't any items that add energy regeneration aside from your standard armor pieces. Negative energy items can be found as drops anywhere or as a quest reward in Prophecies.

Negative energy is usually given as a drawback compared to another benefit the item offers, like +15% damage at all times.

MCS · May 08, 2006, 09:38 PM // 21:38

Shield please read....

What you want is the cities of ascalon quest reward, one of the offhands is a scroll (earth req) that has -5 energy and gives 6. Since you won't have the req you'll get 3 energy which makes for a grand total of -2 energy.

tacroy · May 08, 2006, 09:41 PM // 21:41

gotcha, are there indeed drops with - energy or any other quests? I think I did that quest and got rid of that object already...

MCS · May 08, 2006, 09:44 PM // 21:44

weapons yes you can get -5 energy weapons but for off hands I'm not sure.

Honestly just buy one, it has like +5 defence too.

tacroy · May 08, 2006, 09:46 PM // 21:46

Where could I buy it from?

JR · May 08, 2006, 09:46 PM // 21:46

Not really any that are comparable, unless you can get hold of a really decent shield. Without the req of Strength or Tactics you still get 8AL off a gold 16AL shield, as well as any other bonuses it has (+30hp,-2 Damage (stance).. etc).

-5e Weapons also drop, and are also now craftable.

Jr- Are the craftable items only craftable at certain towns? If so which town would allow me to have a - energy item crafted?

Thank you.

No clue. I got someone to craft me a -5e Katana, from somewhere in the wonderfull land of PvE. It's in there, you just have to find it.

Actually, all Zealous weapons are -1 energy regen and +1 energy (not regen)on hit. I have a Fire Wand that is Energy+13 and regen -1, so basically you get a LOT more energy than any normal wand can have and you trade off having a slower regen.

a) Zealous weapons have nothing to do with this.

b) +15/-1e weapons are terrible as anything other than an emergency swap, in all but a very very select few situations.

tacroy · May 08, 2006, 10:18 PM // 22:18

I have a +15 energy - regen. Thats why I was curious if there is the oppisite version (-energy + regen)

Seems like there are a fre - energy, but not any + regen

I'll just check around all the crafters I meet.

Savio · May 09, 2006, 12:31 AM // 00:31

There is no equippable weapon or offhand that can give +energy regen. Stop trying to look for one and use energy management skills.

As far as -energy offhands go, only get ones that have 6 or less energy. Any offhand that has more than 6 energy will give you 6 energy when you don't meet the requirements, which defeats the purpose of -5 energy. Only those 6 and less will drop to 3 when you don't meet requirements. The Cities of Ascalon scroll is probably the best you can find for a -energy scroll, as it comes with armor +5 and health +25.

-5 energy weapons can be crafted at the same locations as Kurzick and Luxon 15k armor: Vasburg Armory for Kurzicks and Leviathan Pits for Luxons.

So how does one get the scroll from the quest?

With 3 post-searing characters, I have always recieved the -50 hp cesta, upon completion of the quest.

VGJustice · May 09, 2006, 01:04 AM // 01:04

That cesta is only one of the 2 rewards you get from that quest. The other item you get, a scroll, is the one you're looking for.

healthsoldier0570 · May 09, 2006, 02:25 AM // 02:25

I have never seen an + energy regeneration. If those ever existed, they would sell for millions of gold. If you ever find one, which you won't, hold on to it and show it off before you sell it. I can't even think of how much gold something like that could sell for.

Sphinx2k · May 09, 2006, 02:50 AM // 02:50

if i remmeber correctly there r 2 different version of the earth scroll u can get from the cities of ascalon quest as a reward the one -5e +5al +25hp is the one u looking for there is also another version without the -5e i forget the stats of it so u might have to make a cchar go though do the quest and cross fingers u get it or just redo til u do

Hpw much its worth is also determined by rareity. The HoD sword used to be worth over 1000k. Now they drop and can be crafted in the endgame zone of factions. Now that there so common their worth nothing. Therefor if a -10 energy +2 energy regenaration item ever began to drop there price would be based off of how good the mods are and how common they are. They could be worth millions of gold if they were almost never dropped. but if they where dropped like any other gold maybe they'd be worth 500k or less.
