ok, i am looking for another and for some reason everyone is under the impresion that there is absolutly no sword with +5 except HOD sword. I know for a fact there is because i found one when i first started the game, it was a gold short sword i found somewhere in ascalon and i kept only because it was +5 energy, still new to the game i did not know the value of this but kept it anyhow. eventualy i found someone looking for it in ascalon city and switched to my mule where i had it, he didnt want it "obviously another noob" because it was a zealus, figured then they were common and since it was low dmg and low req i just sold to merchant. please tell me i am NOT out of my mind, i recall everything at that time like it was yesterday *15 days short of a 11months today*

your out of your mind, there has never been any record of a sword that has + to energy at all aside from the HOD sword

Opeth11 · Apr 18, 2006, 12:45 AM // 00:45

Gee, I don't know, of all the items that possess +5 energy, the only sword that comes to my mind is the HoD sword.

There is no mod that adds +5 energy to a sword, so that can't be the solution.
You say the sword was gold, so it can't be a hidden collector that was removed.

If you found a +5 energy sword off of a drop, then shouldn't someone else have been able to find one too?

Unless there is a picture of some sort, I highly doubt that there is another +5 energy sword aside from the removed HoD. Shame that you sold it to the merchant :/

edit: are you sure that it wasn't a +5 Armor modifier?

It's possible that when they removed the HoD sword they removed all the other +energy swords. I know that's what they did with the bows; I found that out when I was trying to get my hands on one a while back.

And the guy that didn't want it because it was zealous isn't necessarily a noob; if he wanted to use it on a caster, he's not gonna be attacking with it so the zealous would hurt rather than help.

that cant be, if it wasnt +5 energy sword then why would the person have said it wasnt +5 energy and been on his way, it doesnt make any sence. hell i even remember the district i was in when this happend i recall the sword perfectly. more feedback would be nice

Opeth11 · Apr 18, 2006, 12:49 AM // 00:49

I could not make figure out what you meant exactly by : if it wasnt +5 energy sword then why would the person have said it wasnt +5 energy and been on his way, it doesnt make any sence.

Please restructure that sentence, as it may really help with feedback.

SlitUrNek · Apr 18, 2006, 12:50 AM // 00:50

yes i am possitive it wasnt a +5 armor, i know this because it wasnt a mod, there was no %dmg on this the sword mods were as follows

zealus short sword of fort
dmg ?-? req.4
+5 energy
life stealing 2
life degen 1
hp +10 *i believe it was 10 maby 15

Legacy Virus · Apr 18, 2006, 12:51 AM // 00:51

also, if it was a gold weapon you would have been able to salvage the pommel or grip from it to get the +5 energy mod, and since i have been playing this game since beta and have never heard of a + energy mod on a melee weapon then im gonna have to say your dreaming.

also i dont know why you would sell that thing ><
i bought my HoD when the game first came out cause i was desperate for a weapon that would give + to energy but not - to regen, and i figured with the sword i could throw a enchanting or fort. mod on it so i bought 3 of them for my chars. and friends and found out after i took a break from GW and came back they removed the sword and they were worth ALOT of money. moral of the story, never ever sell stuff like that

SlitUrNek · Apr 18, 2006, 12:51 AM // 00:51

then why wouldnt* typo

Legacy Virus · Apr 18, 2006, 12:53 AM // 00:53

Here's where I seriously doubt that your story is completely flawless.

Zealous does not give life steal.
Fortitude mods range from 20-30.

The chances of a gold fortitude mod with +10 or 15 health is basically zero, unless it was bugged. Bugged items, well I don't even know if they exist in Guild Wars.

Zealous adds +1 energy per strike, and takes away 1 pip of energy regeneration.

my first character was a warrior and up untillthat point it was the only character i had, there was no need for +5 energy whith lack of dmg on a melee class

Savio · Apr 18, 2006, 12:55 AM // 00:55

You can't have a Health mod any less than a +20 from a dropped item. Only the odd low-level quest reward/collector items have +10s.

It was probably -5 nrg and some +??% of dmg.

I think u mean gold items. Maybe not.

SlitUrNek · Apr 18, 2006, 12:57 AM // 00:57

then i just must be out of my mind, im giving up here ur all right i had some crazy dream where i played for 2 months and found some +5 energy sword and then sold to merchant

leprekan · Apr 18, 2006, 12:58 AM // 00:58

Yeah I wish I hadn't sold my 25-75 damage fellblade to the merchant either

(note heavy use of sarcasm)

I'm pretty sure he meant dropped items can not have a health mod lower than 20.

Along with collector items and reward items can have 10 health mods.

Legacy Virus · Apr 18, 2006, 12:59 AM // 00:59

no biggie, its easy to mistake -5 energy Dmg +X% for +5 energy

GG

lg5000 · Apr 18, 2006, 01:01 AM // 01:01

I'm confused.. that's a vampiric mod not a zealous mod...

I do remember the +5 bow from pre searing though.

Opeth11 · Apr 18, 2006, 01:02 AM // 01:02

But that's a bow. We're dealing with swords, a one handed weapon ^_^
