Curse

In fact this was the weirdest drop i've seen since inscriptions were introduced, but let me show you what i'm talking about:

This was in no way edited, it's not a collector's items/quest reward/crazy chest drop, it was a drop from a Frozen Elemental.

Weirdest thing is, the stats itself and the skin, its the Eye version of the flame artifact.

Have u guys got any weird drops like this in EotN?

Cebe · Sep 20, 2007, 03:30 PM // 15:30

Not had any myself, but I've seen a few max, low req. blue weapons around. Quite weird indeed...

MrGuildBoi · Sep 20, 2007, 03:31 PM // 15:31

What's weird about it o.O?

People sell req 8 everything. it's rare, but not weird.

True. I didn't even notice that. I just thought it odd that a FROZEN elemental dropping a FLAME artifact.

it's rare, but not gold

Also, ironically, it's better than 99% of the drops and chest items I've had so far due to the fact that it's max...which is a novelty in EotN.

From what I've seen in NF, you can get inscriptions on virtually any blue/purple/gold item regardless of the req. Not sure if that hold true in GW:EN or with rarer skin items, but I think it does.

Also, it seems that "Show me the money" and "Measure for measure" are somewhat more common on low req equipment.

Gli · Sep 20, 2007, 03:56 PM // 15:56

The inscription isn't the odd part, the 12 (max) energy is.

ddust · Sep 20, 2007, 04:02 PM // 16:02

lol, i thought is something like regular enemy drop green weapon or ectos, onyx , ruby 7 shapire, something like that, ..then that is the weirdest thing!

As a matter of fact, the only req 8 max weapons I've found were blue. it's not odd.

Artkin · Sep 20, 2007, 04:04 PM // 16:04

In Jaga Moraine yesterday I had one of the enemy bosses bone fiends drops a white spawning wand. I don't believe that I've EVER seen a minion drop anything.

yishin · Sep 20, 2007, 04:09 PM // 16:09

yeah i've had a few blue inscribable max energy req8 dropped in NF and EotN. I just pay attention to blue drops since I ID them to get more gold when selling to merch or to get these rare items. I don't really know what they are worth though.

PS: In Slavers exile when the wolf becomes hostile he managed to kill one of the guards who dropped a map piece

Blue req8 isnt realy wierd .. ive even started merching my req8 blue offhands, they seem quite popular ..

ddust · Sep 20, 2007, 04:15 PM // 16:15

Now that is weird for minion drop item. For me, teh chat log said "xxx" enemy drop item "white dye" for me, but i cant see the drop at all. Nothing! Nada, empty! I have looked around everywhere to find it and it nothing. At the time i was with heroes & henchies,..so probably H/H stole it from me. But it showed clearly on the chat log that the drop is for me.

I have a : +12 energy, 20% HCT, Seize the Day gold mesmer offhand that's requirement 8

Odd things for me were getting a hammer drop from a bone fiend in EotN( it was also in Jaga Moraine), a string of only purples from locked chests in Dungeons, (I haven't gotten a gold in four days, and I'm in more than two dungeons every day)

I found a q8 inscribable max aegis- tactics.

They're still around, and this one was from nightfall.

Tarzanboy · Sep 20, 2007, 04:52 PM // 16:52

All of the bone fiends near Avarr the Fallen are considered monsters. They do not degen, they give XP and drop loot (I got a grape req 13 non max hammer from one). If they weren't, everyone would sit back and watch them degen into nothing before soloing Avarr and capping Jagged Bones.

Weirdest drop really is not weird in the sense that i've never seen it before, but rather weird as in cursing my bad luck. Mine was going through a 3 level dungeon and getting a non max gold req 11 hammer when other 3 party members got a green, an onyx and a diamond.

Cheers,
TB

This isn't titan quest, where monsters only drop things they have. If that were true, 90%+ of all monsters wouldn't drop anything, as they obviously carry nothing

As far as the req 8 blue, I've seen at least 5 of those.. they're actually pretty common :\

zwei2stein · Sep 20, 2007, 05:23 PM // 17:23

Theese drops are semi-rare, but greatest challenge in obtaining them is to notice then being max and not merching them rightaway.
