Old Skins and +5 energy mods? - Guild Wars Forums

Gizmo Loco · Jul 20, 2006, 03:36 PM // 15:36

Is it true that old skins (i.e prophecies) cannot have +5 energy mods on them? And does this include UW items such as eternal bows, even though they can be accessed by both games?

ps: wtb +5 energy eternal bow req 8-10 ??_??

Not sure,

Can't you savage +5 mods and add them to older items?

I'm not sure if +5 energy weapons drop outside of Cathan however.

The only "old skin" +5 ive seen is this one auction here on guru for a +5 Brute Sword.

I would assume that a +5 Eternal Bow might exist because the mod changes are gamewide?

They're not mods, they're inherant attributes of the weapon, like the 15/50.

I got told that the Tyrian skins couldn't get it, but I seem to remember peopel discovering +5 energy mods before factions came out...and I also thought it would be strange, that since UW is accessible on both games, Eternal Bow isnt technically a 'Tyrian' skin

Raiin Maker · Jul 20, 2006, 03:47 PM // 15:47

yes you can get +energy mods in tyria, if you remember BEFORE they realsed factions there was an update and it said something like 'made it able to get +5 energy weapons'.

as this was before factions it must have applied to tyria, and thus the old skins

Clone · Jul 20, 2006, 03:47 PM // 15:47

I bought a +5 energy Recurve Bow a week or two ago.

Gizmo Loco · Jul 20, 2006, 03:54 PM // 15:54

Ok, cool. Thanks

Now to find a +5 Eternal...

Vahn Roi · Jul 20, 2006, 04:37 PM // 16:37

I have a +5 Energy Chaos Axe and that was from a chest in FoW, so I am inclined to say "Yes"

wsmcasey · Jul 20, 2006, 04:39 PM // 16:39

Yup, I was bidding on a +5 energy serpent axe not to long ago.

Don Zardeone · Jul 20, 2006, 06:20 PM // 18:20

I think I remember getting a +5 energy hammer from a chest in droks trolls

Sweet. I've been wondering if they existed but haven't seen them selling anywhere so I pretty much gave up on the idea that chaos axes could drop with +5 energy built in. I've always liked chaos axes as a running weapon and also think they would look nice for a caster.

Pillz_veritas · Jul 20, 2006, 07:28 PM // 19:28

+ 5 Energy Fiery Dragon Sword FTW

(no I dont have one)

(and YES i was beeing sarcastic ffs)

Cybah · Jul 20, 2006, 07:34 PM // 19:34

can't imagine they exist. never saw them on an auction. a chaos axe sure would go for millions

capitalist · Jul 20, 2006, 08:34 PM // 20:34

Skins that drop in both Cantha and Tyria can drop with +5 energy. unique Tyrian items can't.

shadowfell · Jul 20, 2006, 08:39 PM // 20:39

Yay.. I want a +5 energy hand axe, and a +5 energy dead bow.. Do not deny me my secret pleasures cap.. I'll pester you.

Cybah · Jul 20, 2006, 08:41 PM // 20:41

@capitalist: the question is: fow items?

Carinae · Jul 20, 2006, 08:58 PM // 20:58

Yes, they can drop now in tyria. Pre-factions, you could get +5 energy items from HoD but that was it.

milias · Jul 20, 2006, 09:02 PM // 21:02

Yea, I'm pretty sure they drop both in Cantha and in Tyria.
