Default Removed Skins/Attributes?

What skins or attributes of a skin were removed from the game/don't drop anymore (or don't have a confirmed drop after various weapon-upgrading updates)?

With the former, I know that the Tyrian Water/Fire Staves and Swamp Clubs don't drop/were removed. With the latter, I know that Canthan staves with Restoration don't drop anymore/were removed. I'm pretty sure this isn't a complete list.

This isn't meant to be a discussion of what reqs don't drop anymore, but specifically skins/attributes of a skin.

Protective Staves with the Yakslapper skin supposedly dropped during the NF Preview or something. Or at least that was the argument on GuildWiki, where that skin was listed in the entry for the Protective Staff (until I removed it).

probably heard it from wiki and wrongly assume wiki is correct.


*note to wiki readers ; wiki is wrong at least as often as it is right...

Has there ever been a source of Swamp Clubs other then the keyless chests? Because if there has never been another way to attain them, I find it highly doubtable that there is still a way to get them.

As far as i know in 2005 someone proved em drop from chests near portal wraths in hells precipice, also i heard u were able get em from HoH chest in 2005-2006? Also there been rumours about few special foes in some locations dropping em but i havent seen any proof. and mostlikely even if ppl would know they wouldnt tell because it could crush the swamp club market there is now

Fun thread idea! Thanks Frozen!

Ok, here's what I can think of.
  • The Yakslapper skin staff jimbo32 mentioned supposedly did drop and/or was craftable during the NF preview event as a "Sacred Staff." After the full release no more seemed to appear.
  • "Cracked Axe" supposedly dropped then, too. The skin was the same as Heket Axes, just a different name. None seem to have appeared since the NF preview. (It may be worth noting here that loot from the NF preview never made it into the full game. Characters created, their progress, and any inventory acquired during the preview was wiped/deleted before the campaign's full release. During the preview, there was no access to storage.)
  • We recently found out on another thread here that purple-texted Crystalline Swords with inscription slots do not drop anymore. Some dropped during the EotN preview and remained in the game since that preview specifically let us keep the loot we found and some of the storyline progress we made. However, there are no more sources for these in purple text with inscription slots.
  • The "Tattered Girl's Cape" doesn't drop anymore. I don't think it has dropped since sometime in 2006 (when I first got a character out there and started looking for one myself.) Some people still have them in inventory, though.
  • There are a few greens whose stats have changed (not including the update that gave all staffs 20HSR all spells as base.) "The Rockmolder" focus used to have 20 HSR all spells, but all existing versions and any new versions have 10 HSR all spells now. "Wroth's Holy Rod" used to drop with 20/20 Protection dual mods. The old ones are still in the game, but new ones drop with HSR Smiting and en+5wE mods instead.
It's not what you asked, but in case it's relevant ... here are some things I know about mods which don't drop anymore.
  • 15wH gold inherents. I think the max for the % +dmg while hexed mod used to be 15. It's now 20. I don't think inherent gold weapons drop with 75% of max mods anymore, but there are some old inherent gold weapons with +15% dmg while hexed out there. It's probably something like the 12^50 and 13^50 golds mentioned earlier.
  • Dual - phys damage shields don't drop anymore. Link to the best explanation I've read about why from Yawgmoth in Jan. 2010.

Cheers,
Luny

system, you can get a 10/10 sword mod off a Tyrian quest reward item, which can be salvaged off. Don't remember it off the top of my head but I'm certain it still exists.

HoD items were removed

Luny, I have one of those old Wroth's Holy Rod, are they worth anything?

im just trying figure that out personally. Thinking of which. if they do drop there, and max gold ones dropped there in 2005-2006, it should be shiverpeaks ones, But if its ascalon guess farming shud be done in HM

I think it's safe to say there are definitely worth something, yes. I saw a thread a while back where people were in a bidding war over one, but I never did find out what the final sale price was.

I've had the "prenerf" versions noted separate on the green pc thread since it went up in Nov. 09, but no one ever posted anything about them. Very few folks post any of their green trade prices there at all, though, so I don't think the lack of response is any indication that they're worthless.

I have one, too, but there's no way I would sell it to try to find current price data. It was a gift. And I don't list things for sale for offers unless I'm honestly willing to sell them.


Another removed thing which I'm reminded of in thinking about the green thread ...

There were versions of the -50 hp Grim Cesta which had a Healing Prayers requirement. The ones from the quest are always Blood Magic requirement now, but for a time the quest rewarded (sometimes, not always I think) Healing req. ones.
