Staff mod glitch

Hey sorry if this was supposed to be in game bugs, wasn't sure where to put it...

Anyways, some guy offered to me this: http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/1682/scamcensored.png in kamadan. Never seen anything like it before, is it actually rare/valuable?

NO, it's not. It's from a collector outside of Sardelac. This is a current scam going around, don't fall for it.

Ew nvm read above post

Yea, its from Saba Blackstone in Old Ascalon, at the entrance to Sardelac Sanitarium for 3 Scorched Lodestones. I've seen another similar scam, but it involved his Shocking Ascalon Hornbow instead since it is unique, because it actually bears two Bow Strings, a Shocking and a Sundering bowstring.

The same guy offered me the same thing yesterday. I had a feeling it might be something a collector might give out. Thanks for the clarification.

What the hell? Critical hit mod?

Yeah there are a ton of wacky low-level collector weapons. Might be interesting if such things existed with max stats.

I've seen my share of Prophecies items, but not this one. Does this ACTUALLY function?

Saw someone spamming a wts for it yesterday. Didn't bother to talk to him, but was curious what kind of scam it was.

Good to know.

Wow, +5% crit chance, could you give that to a worse class? Even mesmer would benefit more, unless can you crit with heals?

Has anyone noticed it's critical hit -5, not +5? Why would anyone need a -5% crit mod =/

Maybe you have -5% less chance of getting critical hits ON YOU ?

You know, it's pre, I wouldn't be surprised if it were the other way around But yeah, you're probably right.

Yeh watch out,will probably be used in a double scam. Someone goes WTB 'insert useless item' for a high price,someone (usually in another district to stay convincing) goes WTS 'useless item' and a considerably lower price than the buyer is willing to sell and thus trying to draw people into buying it to make a profit. Playing on peoples greed.

There are many cool mods and mod combinations to be found on the lowlvl Prophecies collector/quest items, shame they're completely forgotten later on in the game.

Critical Hit -5% is a negative mod coming probably from the fact this staff has also inherent Armor +7 (below).
Fun fact: This mod (Critical Hit -5%, or even -10%) was also used as a possible negative on a +5 energy wand that also had Attack Speed +10% (was awesome for building up adrenaline) and another possible negative on it was even more weirdo "Chance to Miss 10%" :>
