I never have. Found it while doing the RoF mission with a guildmate. Thought it looked like a rose at first, but then my guildmate pointed out that the white thing was an eyeball. xD
hehe, I saw one other pic here of an ele using one of those, never seen one in game though, although this ele had some crazy 2 headed snake staff to, was really cool.
Oh, didn't know this was only for flame artifacts. As sometimes the focus item can look like certain ones, but the bonuses would be for something else.
Dyed silver I guess
Yup. ^^ Silver looks nice w/ gladiator 15k. Some people prefer the ascalon helm (as the brown matches the brown cloth), but I like the silver knights helm as it goes nicely with the metal part of the armor, which is also all dyed in silver.
Yep, I found two of those chalice things two nights ago off some griffons/shadows. One was "precious" and went for 200+ at the merchant. THe other was white and I'm holding onto it.
I was talking with a fellow that hunts griffons and he'd never seen one before.
