Hey sorry if this was supposed to be in game bugs, wasn't sure where to put it...

Anyways, some guy offered to me this: http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/1682/scamcensored.png in kamadan. Never seen anything like it before, is it actually rare/valuable?

Jensy · Jan 14, 2010, 02:00 AM // 02:00

NO, it's not. It's from a collector outside of Sardelac. This is a current scam going around, don't fall for it.

Ew nvm read above post

Yea, its from Saba Blackstone in Old Ascalon, at the entrance to Sardelac Sanitarium for 3 Scorched Lodestones. I've seen another similar scam, but it involved his Shocking Ascalon Hornbow instead since it is unique, because it actually bears two Bow Strings, a Shocking and a Sundering bowstring.

The same guy offered me the same thing yesterday. I had a feeling it might be something a collector might give out. Thanks for the clarification.

Bob Slydell · Jan 14, 2010, 05:23 AM // 05:23

What the hell? Critical hit mod?

Skyy High · Jan 14, 2010, 05:44 AM // 05:44

Yeah there are a ton of wacky low-level collector weapons. Might be interesting if such things existed with max stats.

I've seen my share of Prophecies items, but not this one. Does this ACTUALLY function?

Gennadios · Jan 14, 2010, 07:59 AM // 07:59

Saw someone spamming a wts for it yesterday. Didn't bother to talk to him, but was curious what kind of scam it was.

Good to know.

Wow, +5% crit chance, could you give that to a worse class? Even mesmer would benefit more, unless can you crit with heals?

Darth Jank · Jan 14, 2010, 02:12 PM // 14:12

Has anyone noticed it's critical hit -5, not +5? Why would anyone need a -5% crit mod =/

.HunTer · Jan 14, 2010, 02:19 PM // 14:19

Maybe you have -5% less chance of getting critical hits ON YOU ?

Darth Jank · Jan 14, 2010, 03:05 PM // 15:05

You know, it's pre, I wouldn't be surprised if it were the other way around

But yeah, you're probably right.

Xsiriss · Jan 14, 2010, 04:33 PM // 16:33

Yeh watch out,will probably be used in a double scam. Someone goes WTB 'insert useless item' for a high price,someone (usually in another district to stay convincing) goes WTS 'useless item' and a considerably lower price than the buyer is willing to sell and thus trying to draw people into buying it to make a profit. Playing on peoples greed.

Yawgmoth · Jan 14, 2010, 08:51 PM // 20:51

There are many cool mods and mod combinations to be found on the lowlvl Prophecies collector/quest items, shame they're completely forgotten later on in the game.

Critical Hit -5% is a negative mod coming probably from the fact this staff has also inherent Armor +7 (below).
Fun fact: This mod (Critical Hit -5%, or even -10%) was also used as a possible negative on a +5 energy wand that also had Attack Speed +10% (was awesome for building up adrenaline) and another possible negative on it was even more weirdo "Chance to Miss 10%" :>
