Weapon Mod Question - Guild Wars Forums

Lurid · May 08, 2007, 04:46 AM // 04:46

Just out of curiosity can a weapon from say...Factions or Prophecies drop with a "Halves Skill Recharge of Spells" 10% / 10%. I'm aware items like the Fiery Flame Spitter are available with this mod, however i've never seen a weapon with this mod drop. I'm just curious if thats a drop exclusive to Nightfall (via the inscription) or if I could possibly find one of these in either of the previous campaigns.

One other thing, on a purple weapon what is the maximum that a +energy mod could be? Say if that weapon was dropped in Factions or Prophecies? For instance a purple weapon from these two campaigns could not have more than 14^50 if that was the inherent mod, as it is purple and that is the max it drops with inherently. So do +5e weapons that are purple drop, or is it limited to say...+4e or less?

No, factions and prophecies don't have inscription drops, so they don't have this mod.

For energy, it's all or nothing. There is no +4 energy mod.

Ive seen +4e mods its just a non max +5e mod. However this is only for Staffs and Caster items etc. and not for Weapons like Axes, Swords etc. There are no +energy weapon drops in Tryia except the Totem Axe (as far as i know anyways)

You have to keep apart the different kinds of weapon mods:

There are Insightful Staff Heads, which can be applied to staffs only, obviously. Those can give less than +5 energy.

There are martial weapons (swords, axes, daggers, bows, etc...) with inherent +5 energy mods, instead of a +damage mod - this is the same as the "I Have the Power" inscription on Elonian weapons. Those come only with +5 energy, nerver less, never more.

There also are conditional +energy inscriptions (while enchanted, while health below/greater 50%, while hexed). Those come with varying bonuses and can reach up to +7, depending on the condition.

Ah ok, thanks. Just couldn't find mention of it in Wiki and I couldn't remember for sure.
