Anyone care to explain these "glowing weapons"? It's not something I'm familiar with.

Dunno if this really applies here, but whats the highest gold value (to merch) on a wep? and furthermore, what actually influences gold value?

i know there are other raritys(item color) without mods. i don't think there are any gold ones, simply because the fact that Gold rarity pretty much implies perfect/near perfection. but i could be completely wrong bout that. there are weirder things out there...

Thinking of what caused the "no damage mod" bug on other weapons (they had a +xx% vs species instead) and as this was (afaik) the only possibility for a gold weapon to come without mods I'm pretty sure to say no. There are no such shields.

Oh on other weapons its actually Somehow Common, isnt it?
On purple its very common...
On gold i remember to have gotten a few (martial weps)...
But merched them... Maybe i confused it with purple tho.


Cant there be in NF/eotn a golden Shield with just a Shield-Handle? Then u could salvage the Handle...


So u say... There arent any NON-mod golden weps at all?? Or not droppin anymore?
Arent there a few crystallines with it?

Others then Shields & offhands still can drop without any mods as far as i know... Wands not sure, think they can tho

atleast from fact & Tyria i get alot sword/axe/hammer/bow/daggers without any dmg mod, ie, can be salvaged to moddless gold

Don't forget it's also pretty common to get a Gold Staff with no inherent mod, with just 1-2 removable upgrades. Same applies to all the tyrian/canthan martial weapons, but in their case the much more common cause was having a +dmg vs mobtype suffix (fixed later).

Shields, Foci and Wands however should always have a mod when purple or gold (technically purples work just like golds but with much lower %chance for dualmod)

Recently this post made me rise an eyebrow:
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...postcount=1318

espiecially as he claims it's a recent drop, not something from before Factions release. For those who don't remember, back then purple or even gold weapons could occassionally drop completely clean, without even being 'Unidentified'! I have kept one purple staff like this for years (clean, not unident and no gold value displayed so id kit was not used on it), but must have deleted/merched when doing a great inventory purge.

I think they (clean purple or gold shields/foci/wands) shouldn't be possible drops nowadays, but there's a good chance they might have been possible in the infamous Mausoleum - I mean a possible gold drop with just 1 mod that happens to be removable, the way gold staves can drop anywhere. I didn't look at the drops for that kind of oddity (too many of possible cool rarities there and too little time) or maybe there were just none to catch my attention. It all depends on the order of mod generation which I didn't manage to figure out yet.

I had wands like that gold & purple From mauseleum, (without any mods) As they only had the wrapping part which i salvaged off, think i also got screens of one somewhere, merched em after

Edit@ Searched abit of screens and found this

Just found this among my screenshots of Mausoleum drops:

(I had removed the focus core from it myself)

I think we can safely say that a gold shield with no mods at all (with just salvage'able handle) could have also been a possible drop in the Mausoleum. Can't see why mod generation on shields could be different than on foci or wands. Chances for such a shield there however were probably been much lower than for a 3-mod one.

Totally did not think about Mausoleum Drops regarding the non mod shields.... so I'd say "it's not possible but for Mausoleum Drops"

I got two non-modded items from a Charr Battle Plans quest in HM. It was the one that takes place in Dragon's Gullet and requires you to kill 100 Charr. A chest spawned and I got a 11-21 Holy Rod (Gold) which wasn't labelled as Unidentified. I identified it anyway and it only displayed the merchant value; no mods.

The other item was a purple Crude Shield which dropped as loot.

I'm annoyed at myself now for merching them but if someone could use their Charr Battle Plans and replicate the scenario then it can be proven that way.

My question is about Ghostly staves - I know that exist staves on Death magic and curses inscribable versions. I also saw some fire attribute req some time ago on guru, also inscribable. Is it possible that exist also some staves with such attrubutes like healing, protection prayers or restoration? I know that usually its only like soul reaping, spawning etc but what about curses or death magic?

Other than the glitched mausoleum drop, are there any confirmed non-inscribable Tyrian Sickles dropping purple/gold, or are blues still as good as it gets?

Blue is the best one you can get, I'm 100% sure. Though some people around here might say different

Nope. Swords without an inherent aren't rare.

I have a quick question. You are talking about golden r7 MAX DAMAGE bows, aren´t you? I have seen a few screenshots of nonmax R7 bows though.
