Curse

Stupid · May 12, 2005, 08:15 PM // 20:15

There were several updates WHILE I was collecting (no pun intended) data. Yes, the non-bolded stuff on Penelope Hoode were the last two items that I still had not seen. I'll update what I've got on there with your information.

The Ascalon Aegis was a Crimson Carapce Shield when I got it. I actually have two screenshots of the exact same shield, taken less than two hours apart, with different names. No stats changed.

Sadly, the War Hammer of Fortitude that I got from Innis -did- change stats. When I oringially got it, it was a flat +25 vs. Charr -- which was incredibly overpowered. I was able to solo (really solo, not just "solo with henchmen") the first few Ascalon missions and gathered four minor Runes in the process. I'm actually sorry I took time out to level up a new Ranger and Necro character, or I could have solo'ed all the way to Yak's Bend with that super Charr-killing Hammer. The version I had in my inventory last night (midnight pacific time on May 11) had been changed to a flat +5 vs. Charr, and not a 25% bonus as others claim. I wonder what would have happened if I had salvaged out the +25 vs Charr hilt and upgraded a different hammer with that...

The point is that these items are most definitely IN FLUX and can change without any notice at all.

Doing the web stuff is pretty easy. Taking the time to gather the data is the hardest part.

I thought about that too, but when you try to salvage these items it tells you that they cannot be salvaged

..and yeah, the 'flux' is already starting to annoy me

Sausaletus Rex · May 12, 2005, 08:35 PM // 20:35

Hah! This is flux? This is minor tweaking when you've been around as long as I have. You just get used to it.

And, yes, quest reward items can't be salvaged. They an be sold, however, and they usually bring you a much better return in gold than the average drop for that area will.

Stupid · May 13, 2005, 05:02 AM // 05:02

At the request of Rex, I've expanded my focus to a complete Area Guide for the Old Ascalon area. I took the liberty of linking in as much of the existing information here as was still (mostly) correct.

I've edited the link up-thread to point to the now much-more-complete guide. Permission is granted to guildwarsguru.com to copy to thier server, but NOT to link to it. I do pay for bandwidth, so a direct link would cost me $$$ and I -will- remove it if this costs me money.

This took two days of my time to put together. I'll do the other explorable areas next I think. It's kind of a fun project for now, but I suspect I'll lose interest when I go to E3 and get a week away from playing.

Here are 3 more locations to add on to Luggage's previous post. Included are the mystery legging armors! These ones were taken by a warrior.

Enjoy! And don't forget that you can't salvage runes used on these.

correct me if i'm wrong, but....

i've noticed that the collectors offer different items for different professions. for example, those same 5 jade mandibles referenced above, gave my elementalist a +1 Air or Water mastery headpiece. what's true for 1 prof, may/maynot be true for others. my local list of collectors doesn't compare with what you've all put together here. but you'll have to precursor your lists (maybe) with professions that they are valid for.

It may turn out to be a database compilation you'll need to put together.

$0.02 FYI
