was just thinking about some of the things that people used to crave in daoc in the old days of classic areas only.

Warshadow bracer.... oh the wipeouts that I saw when people would go farming them in Sheeroe Hills.

Shadow Crystal Slicer... (yes the black sword with the blue glow ;)) relatively rare drop from the lode protectors in corus... quite a few arguements about that one back in the old days.

Shadow Crystal Rapier... I believe it was one of the very few black piercers ingame. Dropped off Weeweres in corus.

Epic armours... yes people used to want to get them asap and there was even a time when the stats were good! ;)

What's the name of that ranger Bracer which is an extremely rare drop off Pooks near DL? I paid 5p for one of those, & later sold it again slightly soiled for 7p. Those prices were a fortune in those days :p
The stats on it are laughable nowadays.
:OohhoO:
[Edit]
Archers Bracer
Drops from Amadan Touched not Pookahs :p
Celtic Dual +2
Recurve Bow +2
Dexterity +7
UBAH!

lol yea i remember those days, sold stuff with what would be considered laughable stats now for some big amounts of money... even by todays standards

there was one that dropped off some fairy things, white/blue or smth crystal bracer, saw alot of ppl forming grps to try to get one of em. Today if someone gets one somehow its usually sold straight away to a merchant :o

And the legendary Dob's Bloody Fang - still not seen one to this day.

On the faeries, its blue, white, black and red bracers. The blue and white are worthless, but people still buy the other ones, probably for thidlings - how times have changed.

spent a while trying for that... but got a bit sick and tired of getting ganked by the aggro in the area where he is supposed to be... and with him being such a rare spawn.... pfft... well and truy given up on him now... but I might go hunt him and stick my GS up his backside for being such a pain! :D
