That may be the case. According to gailes chat the weapons will be added in a variety of ways. I'd like to see some new ways of offering some skins like the etched sword in eye of the north. It is available only as a collector item and is a very nice skin (too bad there is no +5en one for caster use

)

It would also be nice if they were added as rewards to master difficulty quests. Simmilar to the gwen items or Kerrsh's Staff.

Here's hoping some will be scavenger hunt rewards.

I would really prefer them to be Gold drops you get from general play, I dont like the idea of only Z chest, as that would exclude a large portion of the game, likewise I dont think only dropping in pve is the answer either, once added they should both be a Z chest and a pve drop. I would prefer that they be rare in the drop rate of the Elemental Sword or Colossal Scimitar. But with that, in places that cant have a simple cookie cutter farm that everyone can do infinitesimally so that they are flooded in the market quickly. As for "fixing" the market, this is just like everything added to the game, it starts out insane and gradually drops in value. Another month or so and everyone will start getting y3 bday presents so get ready for the insanity when those start coming about

Design-a-Weapon Items: The Hunt is On!
5 March 2008

We are pleased to announce that we will add a few of the winning items from the most recent Design-a-Weapon Contest into the game later this week. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to venture forth and find those items. We'll add another group of items in the future, so keep your eye on this page for more information in the coming weeks.

The designs have already been mentioned. This announcement just hit their frontpage and rss feed.

What concerns me most is they are only adding "some" of the weapons.
Speculation: Only the weapons which have been posted in the GW Dat file thread will be added.

Collect some Skree Wings, Mokele Talons and a Margonite Masks and trade it for a Celestial Compass. Something along the lines of the Black Moa Chick would do it for me.

It will be, you didn't think they were going to make them easy for noobs and casuals to get them did you?

Selket · Mar 06, 2008, 06:43 PM // 18:43

Hopefully they're not just greens or some shit.

;x

Stolen Souls · Mar 06, 2008, 06:48 PM // 18:48

This is my guess how it will be:

The sword will be a green...15% while enchanted, 20/20, +30

The Bow wil be green...15^50 20/20, +30

The Axe will be green...15% in stance, 20/20, +30

Shields will be green...Tactics and Motivation...-5(20%), +30

I can't wait!

Naw just kidding. I'm really wanting that sword, and hope it will be a semi-rare gold. >_>

Ate of DK · Mar 06, 2008, 07:12 PM // 19:12

I hope they are all extreme rares and I get a req9 one first. :tongue:

I think it differs from item to item, and I personally don't know which are rare and what not. All I know is they all look sweet so I'm gonna be searching this weekend.
