Yes. They do exist. Look on wiki. There are multiple reports of them dropping from tyria based enemies which means a gold one would exist.

have you seen a screen picture at least?

I recall seeing a screen picture a while ago but i'm not sure if it was inscribable or non-inscribable

carnage-runner · Mar 26, 2012, 05:51 PM // 17:51

Ok well... I haven't seen a screen of a gold ball hammer that was uninscribable. However I had a gold spiked club uninscribable which is basically the same drop rate and location (random) as the ball hammer. I suspect it is highly likely that a gold ball hammer in gold exists given that HM increases Rare drops does it not?

pawning jock · Mar 26, 2012, 06:00 PM // 18:00

I suspect it highly unlikely seeing as though no one has seen one with it being possible to drop for like almost 7 years

I am pretty sure besides mausoleum possibilities or long lost keyless chest drops ball hammers are like tribal axes in tyria in the way that you can't get a gold one.

I coulda sworn Chop Chop The Panda from Rebel Rising had a gold non max Tribal Axe. Im like 99% positive, although i havent seen evidence of it in years, if at all, but yeah, i am pretty sure. Its like 6-26 Req10 or something. Shame most of RR have quit so its kinda hard to verify? :P

pawning jock · Mar 26, 2012, 07:37 PM // 19:37

he had q9 15/en Tribal Axe

i think...... or something like that

spun ducky · Mar 26, 2012, 07:47 PM // 19:47

I just did a bunch of searches from back in 2005/2006 everyone then seemed to agree they do not exist in gold old school format. So I would say outside of eotn/mausoleum its a safe bet old school gold ball hammers don't exist.

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/b...ht=ball+hammer

That is a buy thread from 2005 and there are plenty of others confirming my thoughts that they come in only blue in tyria.

Mausoleum drop i assume? Im talking about good old - old school - drops

I dont accept that some things just dont drop in gold. Its quite stupid if thats the case, but im optomistic that anything can be found in gold if you just look in the right area, the right enemy, maybe ever the right chest. Just have to get incredibly specific about it

But thats just me!

Anet has had plenty of items that couldn't drop in certain colors or duplicate skins or just plain removed in the case of the swamp club. I ran keyless chests like crazy all over tyria back in the early days and never once saw a purple ball hammer even so I am pretty darn sure they don't exist and then going through old guru posts confirms my thoughts even more.

pawning jock · Mar 26, 2012, 08:04 PM // 20:04

ye I am like that aswell =]

but ye, i was farming some grawls for ball hammers in D'Allesio Seabord Mission and the best i got was q8 white ball hammer.... it was very rare drop ^^

Tuche

I was around for the keyless chests, but i didnt find out about them till they released the update info that they removed them. It makes me cringe to this day. Ill glady admit im maybe even a bit ignorant for saying this, but i still believe they drop somewhere, even if i cant prove it myself

/E: found screenshots of those in another forum. but are they rare? tbh i cant remember to see one of those before....

An inscribable Dwarven Hammer showed up for sale on Van Couver's sell thread recently I think. Van's a good guy - I'd think he'd be willing to show it in trade if you wanted to confirm it and/or take a screenshot. I remember noticing it not long before salva asked me about his. Van doesn't show pictures of his sell stuff, but given his history I would guess he's far less likely than the average player to make a mistake about such a thing. salva's surprised me by being non-max damage.

I thought these were about as rare as inscribable Crystalline Swords. Yeah, they can and do exist. But they have limited sources like HoH and zChest from which they have an extremely low drop rate.

I can't rly tell if the Feathered Bows are only collector ones or if they actually drop max damage & gold. I also know there are req8 versions of the Fleshy hornbow but I have never actually seen a req9-13 Gold one tbh, maybe they stopped drop?

Anything would help

Thanks in advance // Coffee Man

inherent, gold text, r9+ fleshy skin "Hornbow" - I'm pretty sure I've had these drop around Tyria a few times in recent years. I don't still have any examples to show, sorry.

inherent, gold text, r9+ feathered-skin "Longbow" - I'm not sure if I've ever seen one of those drop for me or not. I think I see them drop with the name "Feathered Longbow," both inherent and inscribable. There's a "Longbow" with feather skin as a Kryta quest reward I think. It's non-max ... maybe the "blankets bow" with -2stance or -poison ... one of those. That's blue text though.

inherent, gold text, r9+ feather-skin "Flatbow" - I'm pretty sure I've had these drop around Factions a few times in recent years. I have this one as my Ritualist's pulling bow. If memory serves, it's one of fallenangel's drops from his farming addiction in the past 6 months or so. I kept this one and wound up merching the r9 inherent 15wE feather-skin "Flatbow" I had before. (No one wanted to buy either, and I figured the +5 made slightly more sense for a pulling bow.)

Thanks for info Spun & Luny

If anyone could provide a screenshot of a gold max feathered longbow called Only Longbow but with the feathered skin I'd be very happy! So I don't look for one in vain

I have several q8 "Feathered Longbows" I however don't have one with only longbow which I don't think exist but the flatbow version does exist.

**cosyfiep** · Mar 27, 2012, 09:48 AM // 09:48

I searched long and hard (though 30+ characters and rangers heroes)..and even though I have a flatbow like luny's was unable to find a gold max longbow without the feathered name...
(and just because I spent a good deal of time...I have included a image of what ones I do have--though I am sure that middle one is a quest reward)

LicensedLuny · Mar 27, 2012, 02:56 PM // 14:56

Thanks for the pics!

I'm pretty sure the last two are quest rewards.

Middle one is that "Blankets Bow" from Blankets for the Settlers It's the only bow in the game with rpd like that. Interesting further that it's a hornbow type bow, not a longbow type bow.

Last one is one of the rewards from A Brother's Fury It's the only bow in the game with condition reduction. (And from the same quest which rewards that epic, game-breaking, oldschool sundering non-max wand, too!)

Prophecies quest and collector loot ... still some of my favorite sources of

in the whole game!

Coffee Man · Mar 27, 2012, 03:53 PM // 15:53

Kk thanks for the info all of you, and thanks for taking ur time to look through all those characters cosyfiep! I'll remove the Longbow from my WTB list then since there seems to be no proof that a gold max dmg non-insc one ever dropped. Now I don't have to look for ages and wait in vain for one to finish my collection ^.^

Very old screen shot from german forum. I know it's req8 and you were looking for req9+, but I also found threads where they were selling higher reqs of gold feather skin longbows (name is "Longbow") - just the screenshots weren't that good/proofing.
