Rarest items? - Page 3 - Guild Wars Forums

Kno · Nov 30, 2005, 03:08 AM // 03:08

I havent been on lately and i was wondering why the sickle is worth so much. Why is so rare and is it better then the other axes? Anyone have a screen shot?
Thanks.

are yellow magmas shields rare?
Gees, maybe I should start selling tombs items instead of giving them away.

Some of the green stuff:

Brohn's rod and staff
That necro...don't remeber his name

"Sickle
6-28 (req. 7)
+15% Always
+30 Health
10/10 Sundering"

Yikes, if this existed, it would be worth more than a third world country.

You would never be able to sell the thing (like you'd want to anyway) because its in-game value would essentially be infinite.

And yes, low damage sickles aren't really that rare. I just found a 6-16 sickle about a week ago.

Which is why it's rare.

I didn't realise +damage unconditionals don't drop anymore.

(double negative sentence

)

Shimus DarkRaven · Nov 30, 2005, 07:35 AM // 07:35

Thanks for the heads up, Sav.

My recent aquirement:

Zealous Battlepick:
6-28 <Req 8>
+16% Damage while hexed
Energy gain on hit: 1
Energy Regeneration: -1

Still pondering what to put on it...

:P

But yeah..eh.

Well I'd just like to find (1) 16Ac +45hp -2 dmg reduction Shield in my life in this game. No, I don't want to buy one, Just like to know if there is a specific area they drop.

There is are two collector shields that achieve this purpose.

12AL 45/-2 enchanted in jungle, 16AL 45/-2 stance in desert.

As for a gold dropping with these stats, 45/-2 is only achievable in enchanted form. Max is +30hp stance on a gold shield.

So now you're looking for a gold shield to drop with 16AL, 45/-2 enchanted. That's going to take a very long time.

Trading is a much more efficient use of your time.

I have been keeping an eye out for extra special holy rods (monk) but have only found mediocre ones. In the higher levels (currently 13) do you see more? Or will i end up being a sword toting monk.

naix · Nov 30, 2005, 08:55 PM // 20:55

Max tribal or sickle would sell for more than most anything in the game to date.

Nisshoki · Nov 30, 2005, 11:12 PM // 23:12

i dont know about how gusnahc said chaos axes are rare. the other day in FoW i found 8 in one run :P And not many people know of raven staffs, although while farming around Droks thats almost all i find

Tarot Ribos · Nov 30, 2005, 11:58 PM // 23:58

Max Damage Ghostly Staff w/perfect inherent mods. Heck, ANY Ghostly Staff would fetch a pretty penny, really.

Another example of an item that doesn't drop any more... sadly... I wouldn't mind getting my hand on one. But I lack the millions of gold required to purchase one from one of the few people who still have them.

Senator Tom · Dec 01, 2005, 12:25 AM // 00:25

sickles arent rare at all
high damage sickles are rare

AncientPC · Dec 01, 2005, 12:25 AM // 00:25

I'm pretty sure ghostly staffs still drop . . .

this is, quite frankly, an incorrect statement.
why?
because sickles are NOT rare in the least. in fact, they are rather common. the only thing that would make a sickle worth anything is the fact that to my knowledge NOT ONE max dmg sickle exists, and certainly no max dmg 15>50 gold ones.
now, it stands to reason that IF this were possible, it would exist by now, due to the relatively high occurance of sickles in the world of guild-wars. so it would be rare in the sense that onyl one exists, but as i said, i believe if it were possible many would have sprung up by now, and they would be no more special than a cleaver.

Last time i was in UW was 3 or 4 days ago and ghostly staves DID drop... I will check next time I get in but i'm pretty sure too they still exist, just look at the Ventari's section and you'll see people asking for price checks on ghostly...

Carinae · Dec 07, 2005, 08:56 PM // 20:56

How about a perfect Blood wand? I have never seen or heard about one. Either:

11-22 (req. ?? Blood Magic)
+5e > 50%
Faster Recharge on Blood Magic spells (20%)

or

11-22 (req. ?? Blood Magic)
Faster Recharge on Blood Magic spells (20%)
Faster Cast on Blood Magic spells (20%)

Arya Nibelrund · Dec 08, 2005, 03:34 AM // 03:34

Went to UW tonight and YES ghostly staves still drop; very few of them but i managed to get a gold one from chest and a mate one from smiters.
They might be rarer now because drops are much much worse after the last update, at least from my experience. Less globs and almost never max dmg weapons. If it's my bad luck i hope it will go away soon.

I really need to read forums more often. I merchanted a max tribal last night that I got in FOW. As I was doing it, I kept asking myself if I had ever seen one, but decided since it was blue, it wasn't worth hanging on to. *cries*

What? A max Tribal Axe? I didn't think they existed.
If this is true, you just missed out on the jackpot!
