Lovely set! Grats on the latest, too!

You may be in for a long wait to get my dragon shield. That's important - I can't fight animals as well as you. Dragons will kick my butt too much without that shield.

Prove the opposite!

They should be able to drop, since they drop in DoA, and DoA is actually a good source of 7/15 and 8/16 shields.. I've seen my share of em drop, and sold a bunch too^^ getting a r8/16 inscr gloom shield would mean xxxe though, because it is indeed a very sexy skin :P

The possibility for drops in an area to be req8 doesn't mean all skins in that area can come in req8.

As I said: I only know of 2 req8 glooms in the game, although there might be little more, but I am quite sure they can't drop anymore nowadays. Proof me wrong if you can

I would LOVE to prove you wrong with a q8 isncr gloom shield xD trust me, I would

But yeah, it could be that that rule applies, I haven't done that much research so far..

And, only 2? I would doubt that, I'm pretty sure there is more..

o m g pizowned · Dec 30, 2010, 09:29 PM // 21:29

req8 glooms are extremely rare. havent seen one for sale in years

I used to own a req8 inscr. gloom that I gave away as a gift to my friend Eir Of Asgard. If you want to see it, contact him ingame. That's the number 2 req8 gloom I know. And I believe quite strongly that req8 glooms could only drop in August 2007. Proof me different than that if you like by showing me a post on guru that was posted earlier showing a req8 gloom

Bright Star Shine · Dec 30, 2010, 11:45 PM // 23:45

Dude, gave away as a gift? That thing is worth like.. Hell, I couldn't even come up with a price, that's a once of a kind right there..

Don't sweat it... He's crazy as all hell :P Psych wards have psych wards just for him.

Teehee Kai's a noob

StueyG · Dec 31, 2010, 09:50 PM // 21:50

Kai is just a nice dude, sometimes

Crazy is someone that merched a ton of r7 swords in a rage :P

And I don't have any good shields

LicensedLuny · Jan 01, 2011, 03:22 AM // 03:22

I like Toadie's solution to the shield. One-of-a-kind stuff and stuff so rare it's practically impossible to PC can be a drag to sell for something as boring as money. Much more fun to give it to a buddy where you know it'll have a home in a good collection. As a bonus, you get years of rights to tease the friend about being such a charity case. (Well, if the relationship is at all based on sarcasm like it is with my friends anyway.)

Cheers Toadie! That wasn't crazy ... at least not in a bad way!

Did that same someone also delete all his characters in one of his drama queen fits of "quitting GW?"

irundroks · Jan 01, 2011, 04:01 AM // 04:01

pardon my noobness, but does this count? picked it up a few weeks ago for 25e (thought it was interesting)

Yeah, the beefcake knows

Eh, anyways... that give away was like 2 years ago (quite exactly, start of january 2009) and I was about to quit. Sadly I got myself a new computer and lost all of my screen shots, but I searched the web and think I found a screen of the gloomie:

http://img369.imageshack.us/img369/4...orkborkwq8.jpg

It's borkborkbork though and the sword is long gone (hack) and the shield.... as I said given to Eir Of Asgard who still has it. I also gave him an Echovald req8 tac. -3/hex 30hp along with it. Whatever, I have helped him a lot building his collection but I also made some good profit on him, and we're still quite good friends even if we don't really play anymore, so he deserves it.

On the req8 glooms, here's the theory: we figured out that although there's excessive UW farming going on no req8 glooms were brought onto the market. Not even bad mod ones. We only know of 2 (although there could be more), and both of those came on the market shortly after mid 2007. In mid 2007 there was the EotN-Release-Event - and we of course do not claim those gloomies dropped in Eotn, but during the days of the event strange thinks happened (regarding drops). Not only in EotN, but all over the game the drop tables seemed to be strange, dropping quite more req8 than usually.... so might sound strange, but nobody could proof me different so far.

greetings and happy new year
Kai

PS: It's short after 5 am I came home from new year party and I'm drunk.
PPS: Happy new year!
PPPS: Stuey won't get drunk, he must be a christian!
PPPPS: I think I had paid around 150eish for my req8 str. inscr. gloomz back than in autumn 2007 and it used to be my main shield. I even asked Eir to sell it back to me later at 1000e range or whatever, but he wouldn't. I appreciate that, because you'd never sell a present

PPPPPS: Chris the Carnage Runner is the biggest noob I've never seen. Serious.
PPPPPPS: Luny, are you a girl? Whatever - you's beautiful, wanna go date?

Good night!

Not the time of buying is relevant, but the time of dropping. If you get the seller to tell us when it dropped it would be great. Wouldn't surprise me if you proof me wrong, could be could be

That must explain why you wrote "prove" wrong like 5 times

You too^^

And, I'm also curious to a r8 Gloom drop in DoA. A tactic one would be like.. Epic

If I find one, or a friend gets one, you'll be the first to hear of it^^

I'll have you know I'm actually not that bad anymore. I took some lessons in gaming from some local pros. I now understand clicking the mouse and using keys at the same time!

would be posting more, but they were sold/lost -.-
