Yes, they do drop in LDD. And there is a high chance it will be max damage from the level 24 charr armeggedon(Sp?) lord. And, the chance of a gold dropping from them is quite high as well (Compared to the drop rate from other things, such as rotscale) Infact, in a prior topic, it was stated these level 24 charr have a .000001% chance of dropping a max gold 15^50 sickle.

But, nothing drops max tribal axes. So, that is why we will find a max sickle before we find a max tribal axe.

Sorry, but that percent chance is probably just a made up number. Savio and I farmed that quest a lot on purpose to try to get a sickle, and we never saw one. Does that mean they can't drop? No, but it means they probably don't drop very often if they do, but we COULD have just been really unlucky. So, unless you have lots of time to waste, farming the charr for sickles isn't going to be worth your time.

Found that 6-23 Tribal Axe in Mamnoon Lagoon wile exploring.

And that is not Kryta

i sold a 6-24 tribal axe a while ago, back during winter. Also, if you look hard enough, there was a thread started by a regular poster, who had a ss of a 6-28 white sickle. This was back when Tombs became an explorable area, check for the thread if ya dont believe me :P

-- back around Jan 17-19th 2006.

yup, i was about to post that too. wow, long time ago. can't remember if it was proven true or false though.

as for myself, the best sickles i found were two 6-24 ones, a req 8 and a req9. tribal axes, nothing over 6-20 though.

Didn't nef trade his 6-28 Tribal Axe for a 6-27 Sickle once? If that's true, he probably owned the two with the highest damage in the game (unless that 6-28 one was real, but I doubted it when it was posted, and I still doubt it).

Ah, ok. I just remembered that it was posting in a thread a very long time ago. But nonetheless, charr do drop sickles, just a very small chance of it happening. But, if you wanted a max sickle to drop, farming LDD would be the way to do it.

Out of curiosity, how did you "farm" that quest? Four man right?

the story goes, as i recall, that nef traded his 6-27 sickle and whatever amount of gold or equivalent for the 6-28 tribal. but to my knowledge, there was never a screenshot provided/seen, nor any ingame verification. *shrug*

and come on, when someone claims to own a max tribal or sickle, no matter how well-known or reputable that person is, there will always be questions about its authenticity. i think alot of us have seen too many BS threads about max sickles/tribals. even so, i would say it's really not so much to do with trusting or not trusting that person as it is raw, uncontained excitement from the whole community, hoping against hope that this time it is true. and if the item is in fact real, there will be no problems showing it ingame to a few people.

Nef lied alot. He said he had alot of stuff but wouldnt show it either in-game or through a screenshot. He never showed the 6-28 Tribal Axe. He also claimed to have a 15% No Neg Long Sword but never posted a pic... Any amount of trust I had in him was lost when he sold the Scavengers of Ascalon quest reward axe claiming it was a HOD one.

I dont think sickles or tribals would drop in the LDD quest. Maybe they drop in low lvl areas and not just certain areas.

Unless people can prove they found a max one I wont believe it due to the massive number of liers. Due to noone being able to prove they found a max one in the 15 months + Guild Wars has been out would suggest they wont drop unless Anet change them.

I got a 6-22 from an Ettin whilst rune farming last week. Are people aware that these axes look like rusty lumps of crap?

Your absolutely right. I would not believe anything nef claimed to have since he never showed it in a screenshot or was willing to show it ingame. I do believe max sickles drop, however they are very rare. The closest was the one I had, 6-27dmg. And the sad part is, if a max sickle did drop it would need to go to somone who knows how much it is worth, instead of a new person who merches it.

They do drop from LDD, my friend did get a 7-22 sickle from a charr amreggen lord. However, the chance of it bieng max is slim, and the chance of it bieng max and gold are close to 0.

As for tribal axes, I dont believe any max damage excist. Nef claimed to have a max one, but this was never proven. If a max one were to drop, it would be in kyrta, most likely the riverside province and sanctum cay missions as white mantle drop them.

As of now, no max damage tribal axe or sickle is in excistence, and it probally never will be.

Good luck to all you sickle hunters.

Just to throw this out there, i killed my dopple and a 6-22 (or near) sickle dropped. And this is in the desert, but does the dopple drop items from all over or something?
