It was a teammate who got the Tribal Axe. His was gold, but he picked it up faster than I could snap a picture. I don't want to mention his name without his permission (but I know he's been watching this thread, so maybe he'll post.) I think it wasn't max, but I can't remember for sure. I didn't get a picture of it, though.

And no hard feelings! I don't take offense at "screenshot or it didn't happen."

EDIT - Oh, but to my understanding, there were never any triple-mod axes ... that was limited to Shields, Wands and Foci only. I'm interested to see if they let us keep our inherent mod versions of things which are normally only ever inscribable now.

Ah forgot about that purple one. Still think there is ways of getting gold max... but well another topic for another time

Im sure i speak for everyone when i ask if theres anyway you could get a picture or your friend to show that Tribal Axe IF its gold and max with an Inherent. And yeah, i hope they let us keep our Inherent Inscribable's, i have one or 2 that i really do like. Im sure Cleav would love if they let him keep whatever he has too xD

I already custo'd the Q9 Hooked Scythe 14^enchanted. Waiting to see what happens, I dont wanna mod it up jusy to have it a normal scythe

.

Thats really the only thing I felt worth keeping for me. I did 8-13 runs, and merched the other stuff. Besides whats the harm in letting un-insc weapons stay in the game? They let uncond, and double modded Inherent shields in the game (-2,-3 type of shields).

SEXY, very, very NICE. Congrats and I hope this gets to stay as is.

Thanks to the mighty animal fighter for posting the screenshot I forgot to take! Grats again on the drop!

So it was max damage with non-max inherent. Sorry for my bad memory. We were busy fighting bony animals at the time.

Pleikki · Nov 03, 2010, 05:08 AM // 05:08

Congrats thats one awesome axe!

jimbo32 · Nov 03, 2010, 08:17 AM // 08:17

Wow, animal fighter, that's a nice axe. Shame about the one off max inherent, but it's still impressive.

To those in the know regarding skin rarity, what are the chances that that axe is one-of-a-kind - meaning the only gold uninsc Tribal?

Cleavage · Nov 03, 2010, 08:44 AM // 08:44

Well I would say 50/50 chance. The thing is we know it came from this quest and alot of people were farming there. The fact that 85% of the people farming it were blinded by the thought that triple modded weapons were what they should be looking for so if they did have one of these or a tyrian sickle it may have been merched. Also there may be some that people are waiting on to see what happens. People have gotten way to uppity over all of this and its a shame. All the worries and concerns over items that dont mean jack didly to balance as they claim. The truth is that this brought life to the game for many. Alot of people were truly excited about Guild Wars again. It was like a Easter egg hunt knowing most of the eggs were going to be nasty hard boiled eggs but maybe just one of them would be a plastic egg with a prize in it. This game offers so much in many different ways. Collectors and Guild Wars Historians came out in force to share in this experience. Many of us were never fond of the inscription method to weapons and think its pretty neat to be able to own inherent versions of Nightfall & EotN skins. Do your inventory probes if you must, discover there is no threat and lets things be.

jimbo32 · Nov 03, 2010, 09:19 AM // 09:19

I've gotta agree with Cleavage. It was exciting looking for perfect 15^50 or +5en scythes and spears, and wondering what the mods would be on every gold that dropped in there. I think there's likely a lot of fairly unique items that came from this quest, and it'd be a crying shame if they were all switched to inscribable - or if ANet came up with some other equally silly "solution" to a make-believe problem.

More than that, I think it would've been worthwhile to leave the mausoleum available in-game, rather than removing it and it's associated quest - or at least some form of it. Not going to happen obviously, and it's too bad.

The items will stay in the game as is. ill bet you my account.

Cleav, buddy, I'm not sure you're in a great position to claim anyone's been "way too uppity."

Personally, it doesn't matter to me if the triple-modded stuff stays or goes. I never thought it would stay, but it wouldn't break my game if it did. I can understand the argument against overpowered items getting into PvP. As I don't play serious PvP, I don't care. Seeing anyone get in trouble over something like "exploiting a glitch" for farming the area or using the drops would piss me off.

I am in the camp of those excited about the inherent versions of stuff like spears, scythes, and various other inscription-only skins. I'm also keen on the idea of Para shields with 10vUndead and other inherent-system-only mods. I'm hoping ...

The drops folks got like that get to stay even if they have to remove some third mods, and ...
We'll see more things like this with limited chances to get stuff never before seen. For example, an inherent gold 15^50 scythe isn't any threat to the functionality of inscribable scythes. All it does is give those of us who like to collect odd things something new to play with and hunt for! I don't see the harm there.

Because this ...

I wholeheartedly agree with! It was awesome to see that, even if it lasted for only a few days. It's a shame that it happened over a mistake on ANet's part. Here's hoping, in the future, they learn to avoid the triple-mod mistake but consider adding more content that gives us gear freaks something so enticing.

Hey jimbo! Thanks again for starting this thread!

Maybe they have another way? I remember them changing that quest reward but that was just targeting one offending item, this is so random I don't see how they could fix them without a rollback.
I Don't care so much about losing these laughtastic items as long as I get to keep my screenies.

Pity I Never use Tactics but Koss should like this, ohhh wait, I never use him either.

good shield for fow sc

system.fan · Nov 03, 2010, 08:36 PM // 20:36

I'm in the same boat, plus, I wouldn't mind getting an uninsc 20/10 or 20/20 Tidal Staff!

tghoodoo · Nov 04, 2010, 02:24 AM // 02:24

I was joking about getting a tidal staff early when i first heard bout this dungeon and those drops. Then i got a q13 Tidal staff drop... with No inherent :/ merched. was really hopin for a 20/20 fuschia. now That is sexy!

edit. ok i didn't merch that tidal. also an update on a inherent spear mod Not affected yet. I gotta q9 Grape Tribal Spear 18>50%. Hayda is luvin it!

I got a Serpent Axe ... nothing quite as fancy as that Sickle, though. Purple, non-max, high req., and crap modifier.

LicensedLuny · Nov 04, 2010, 06:58 PM // 18:58

Someone in game just offered to sell this to me for 100k+15e. I declined, but I took a picture to add to our growing list here.

EDIT - for the record, I DO NOT think 100k+15e is a valid PC for that! Please don't misunderstand. Personally, I'm not keen on trading any of the mauso-drops for more than a few plat until we have a better idea what ANet intends to do about them.

jimbo32 · Nov 04, 2010, 07:32 PM // 19:32

Here's something that Luny and animal fighter (and other other "vs creature" shield nuts) might like:

I also got a gold Tall Shield on the same run - req13, -2^stance, +27 (fortitude handle). Those obviously already drop uninsc, so I won't bother posting a pic.

@Luny - +15e for that focus makes me cringe

LicensedLuny · Nov 04, 2010, 07:40 PM // 19:40

That would go so well with my 15stance spear - I could be a FrenzyImba in SoO!

Thank you for the pic!

Warvic · Nov 04, 2010, 08:07 PM // 20:07

Here are some more drops from this dungeon. Dunno if they are anything special tho.
