Brohns Holy Rod in Sorrows Furnace, Probably about 1-2 weeks after SF was introduced. Up to that point in the game, I was still quite poor and was having trouble making money. That day I woke up early for school, and decided "Heck, why not a fast farming run?". Lone Behold, that sexy fellow Brohn was waiting at the gates of SF (Not sure which quest we were doing). When it dropped for me, I nearly fell off my chair. Back then, the wand was worth 100k+. After that, my luck changed for the better and I learnt how to farm, later producing two sets of 15k arm for my main characters, and countless gold weapons.

Will never forget that moment, the moment that changed my GW.

My most memorable drop was a white non-max staff from a Warrior boss in HM.

I cherish it.

I felt like it should have been Max, but then saw several folks on here that told me "I dont need perfect weapons to play the game"

So all is good now

I really don't know.
Most of my OMG experiences had more to do with playing missions/quests than with drops.
Items I do rember are: 14^50 crystalline, first gold chaos axe, first sup vigor after more than a year playing.
One other drop, for a whole different reason: Shield req 9 tactics with 20% +1 healing prayers. If only it had been 16 instead of 15 armor....

My most recent almost OMG moment was when I was vanquishing in Tyria.
Suddenly, an axe dropped. White, just a green line in party window.
I looked better, see a name I hardly ever see: 'Tribal Axe'.
I pick it up, notice it's req 9 and max damage.
It's one of the few times I mentioned a drop in guild chat (a guildie is now the owner of the axe, I gave it away after i took a screenshot).

My most memorable.... While unfortunately not a extraordinary gold, was my first run in Sorrows Furnace... I got 3 green drops; Gordac's Needle, Tanzit's Defender, and another.

Thats what got me my first 15k set... Ascended Platemail

For me it was exciting when the greens started to drop in Sorrow Furnace. That was most exciting for me at the time.

Diablo™ · Jul 12, 2007, 01:20 AM // 01:20

my first Sup Vigor.

At the time, I didn't know if it really existed, I've only heard it in legends...

ThunderStruck · Jul 12, 2007, 01:34 AM // 01:34

Wow, you guys make me envious...

I haven't really had anything worth noting, I guess my best drop was my req 8 15^50 zodiac hammer I got when the first ferries started... I accidentally salvaged it right before the person wanted to buy it PMd me

DarkGanni · Jul 12, 2007, 01:40 AM // 01:40

Needless to say I was jumping on the chair when this happened (sometime before the release of nightfall)

Stats were req9 +15% stance (was my first time in HoH)

Despozblehero · Jul 12, 2007, 01:41 AM // 01:41

Most memorable for me was in the 1st week of the Proph game coming out i got a gold crystalline req 9 from a chest (before keys) dmg mod was like +14% vs hexxed, what makes it even more memorable was i didnt know it was uber rare and i sold it to the merch ;p

undeadgun · Jul 12, 2007, 01:48 AM // 01:48

Lord-UWR · Jul 12, 2007, 01:58 AM // 01:58

My FIRST memorable drop was the third time I attempt to finish THK mission (Prophecies 4th last mission), about a year and half ago, when I got a PERFECT Mursaat Hammer, !5>50, +30, and I had to buy a Sundering mod for it. It was back in the day, when everyone was poor, and anything could get you going. I actually sold that Hammer HERE in the auctions for 700k (95 ectos is what I got). That was the time I got to get some 15k armour for myself, and some decent weapons and everything...it was so AWESOME!!!

VanDamselx · Jul 12, 2007, 02:58 AM // 02:58

Req 9 15^50 Furious Platinum Sickles... those things were gorgeous.

Curse You · Jul 12, 2007, 03:13 AM // 03:13

Well, the time I got 3 greens and 1 gold scroll in a single Tombs run was great.

The Kole's Gauntlet and Scroll of Slayer's Insight dropped from the first Darkness, and that shot shows the drops from the second.

The other was when I finally for a Kanaxai weapon to drop for me in the Deep. I still have that Kanaxai's Axe on my paragon.

Sephiroth Istari · Jul 12, 2007, 03:40 AM // 03:40

Req 11 Elemental Sword, I loved it like a brother.

Mad King Corn · Jul 12, 2007, 05:16 AM // 05:16

My most memorable drop was Drago's Flatbow, It was my first time in sorrows furnace and it happened before I even knew greens existed, I looked it up on the forums and discovered that it was the most desired bow in all of GW, and at the time it was worth a small fortune. Recently, I had an Elemental Sword (Req11) drop and I will never get over the initial excitement of seeing that.

sLiceR · Jul 12, 2007, 05:37 AM // 05:37

perfect stance Shadow Shield, quite some time ago... got it sold for 50ectoes or so if I remember correctly

Just Another Chest Runner · Jul 12, 2007, 06:13 AM // 06:13

most memorable drop was when me and a friend (who sadly quit gw) were out farming. It was a req 8 flame artifact with +5 armor, -20 health, +21 health.

we both laughed =P
