SICKLE Question's - Guild Wars Forums

Rice_burner · Nov 04, 2005, 02:40 AM // 02:40

1.Why are sickles so popular?

2.Where do u find them?

Lasareth · Nov 04, 2005, 02:45 AM // 02:45

Sickles themselves aren't rare, but the closer you get to max damage, the more the rarity rises, nearly exponentially.

Most sickles are found in the early areas, from warrior-type monsters.

As I'm having a few issues finding this topic on search myself, I'll just have to advise that using the search button will (normally) net you an answer faster than users can respond

Thanks

anyone know where a good place to farm them is at

Saridley Kronah · Nov 04, 2005, 05:25 AM // 05:25

Outside LA the tengu drop em like crazy.

Myth · Nov 04, 2005, 06:28 AM // 06:28

Ive also found that the minotaurs outside icetooth cave drop them. But not the higher damage ones.

Vilaptca · Nov 04, 2005, 07:32 AM // 07:32

I've gotten almost all of mine from The Wilds to the Henge of Denravi area.

ShadowStorm · Nov 04, 2005, 09:24 AM // 09:24

Believe it or not, The Charr Drop them like mad. When the Halloween thing started and I learned that Charr Carvings could be traded for Halloween items, I decided I would solo my way from Piken Square to the end of the Flame Temple Corridor. I ended up with a little over 100 Charr Carvings, about 80 Charr Hides, and 5 Sickles. The Highest damage Sickle I found was 6-18 damage.

Carinae · Nov 04, 2005, 02:52 PM // 14:52

Someone sold a 6-24 Blue UNID Sickle recently, for more money than God has. AFAIK that the highest damage Sickle anyone has ever found.

Grim Aragorn · Nov 04, 2005, 03:10 PM // 15:10

yes in the The Wilds and Jungle area i find 6-16damage sickles like crazy and outside Gates of Kryta the mergargoyles drop 6-12damage quite often

CKaz · Nov 04, 2005, 03:12 PM // 15:12

is it just for the look or what's the point?
I think I've gotten some of those 24ish ones and merchant sold lol
(well at least in 20s if that is truly so rare)

guess I'll have to be a little more watchful

edit - I think I've had sickles and they just looked like axes?
Now if they looked like reaper type sickles from diablo2 or EQ..
or maybe I'm thinking scythes now

perhaps my confusion lies in the fact they're almost synonymous..

most people like the look of them, they are very cool when u hold them, and some people just like to collect these kinds of things. a max damage one has never been shown(not saying it hasnt been found) so a sickle with 6-20 or so damage has high value

Well, I think god probably has more than 20 ectos; I know LBS and Nef probably have stacks.

But, for a weapon 4 shy of max damage; yea, that's alot.

Wheez · Nov 06, 2005, 04:44 PM // 16:44

I found a blue 6-24 one was just precious tho, at The Wilds of a devourer I think. Also, 'bout the charr yea they drop a lot but silly low dmg ones. A friend of mine farmed trolls outside o henge o denravi and found like 3 near 6-20 dmg. 6-24 Ones are the highest I've seen. Sry if I brang up an old post!

~ Wheez.

sn0w1337 · Nov 06, 2005, 07:26 PM // 19:26

I'm trying to lvl up one of my pets, so i decided to do the thirsty river mission for giggles. We killed the first giant for boost and a 6-21 sickle dropped. I kinda stared at it for awhile, i had a few beers and was thinking it was a trick but sure enough it was real. I never knew these dropped in the...desert???

Lasareth · Nov 06, 2005, 07:32 PM // 19:32

It is plausible.... if so, then there is also probably a chance of a max dropping from such high level creatures...

I can't fathom the amount of effort it'd take to strictly farm giants, though.

Daegul Mistweaver · Nov 07, 2005, 03:07 AM // 03:07

I've farmed sand giants in the open(non-mission) areas of the desert quite a bit. They seem to drop little in the way of weapons other than giant slayer hammers(haha). I've yet to see a giant in those areas drop one; might be something about the missions themselves?

Former Ruling · Nov 07, 2005, 12:19 PM // 12:19

WOAAHHHHHH These things are Rare?

I've gotten, and just sold to merchant, about a million of those things...Alot were in the teens to 20's range in damage...

I swear everytime I've went through a mission that had those beast warrior enemies in them I get alot of those..Blue is the highest color I've gotten though.

skull · Nov 07, 2005, 12:51 PM // 12:51

Hi guys,

Sorry guys it was a battle pick...least liked of the axes for some reason.

To make a long story short I sold it to the Merchant.

Oh well.

Thats a "battlepick" - which is the least liked Axe weapon :\

A Sickle is called seemly "Sickle"

Adambomb · Nov 07, 2005, 01:59 PM // 13:59

ZOMG..... I didn't know these things were so rare... I found one last night it was 6-21 and was blue... I sold it to merchant...

Damn, I could really do with some money right now....
