Collector for shells feels generous - wack for shell farmers!

Well, on gold drops -3 hexed has always been possible. Fairly sure -3 stance and -3 enchant have also been possible, however I have not personaly gotten one, so I cannot verify it. ok i'll give sheild info

everyone of these stats are max
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+60 health (while hexed)
+45 health (while enchated)
+45 (stance) <-- only on pvp sheilds , collectors sheild , grognars sheild
+30 (stance) on gold pve sheilds
+30 always
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
-2 (enchanted)
-5 (20% chance)
-2 (stance)
-3 (while hexed)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
quick recovery from ...dazed, crippled, bleeding, poisen , disease, deep wound, weakness.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
armor +8 vs all types of pshyical dmg and ele dmg (cold attacks , slashing dng , blunt dmg, pericing dmg, fire , lightning dmg ...............
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+1 (attribute) (20% chance)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

sheilds can have 2 out of all these , but cannot combo these below

+health
+ health

quick recovery from....
quick recovery from....

+ armor
+armor

+ attirbute
+ attirbtue
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
the only ones it can combo is dmg reduction , these do exist

-2 (stance) -2 (enchanted)

-2 (enchanted) -3 (while hexed)

-2 (stance) -3(while hexed)

-2 (stance) -5 (20% chance)

-2 (while enchanted) -5 (20% chance)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
you can pretty much have combinations with seperate types in al lways but there will only be 2 at max.

This should actually increase sales of shells now!
More peeps are likely to part with 2k than 5k, Whadda ya think? I agree actually

When ppl will see the difference... Victo Require STR and collector require Tactic!!! That a big difference... We finally got 1 Str shield collector, the 60hp/-3dam Hexed. I only want one for Stance now...

With this patch they boosted Gold shield in stance to 45hp? before it was +30. Only hexed/enchanted was able to hit 45hp. No, 45hp has ALWAYS been the max for "in stance"

I don't understand the logic of the complaints. Shells just went UP in value by a substantial amount. ^

2.5k per shell FTW

I don't understand the logic of the complaints. Shells just went UP in value by a substantial amount. Personallly I think this reduces the value of shells. The price of the Crimson Carapace shield is not fixed by anything other than its difficulty to get.

The shields now take less effort to get so they will fall in price, thus the components fall in price. Further farmers of shells who believe as I do will unload their stock and supply will outstrip demand.

Time is our ony resource here, if singed gargoyle skillls got you the shield they wouldnt fetch a plat because anyone could get them for themselves.

Presumably wurm farming is considered bot-able, although I guess that the shield wa sthe most expensive collectors item and the change brings it into line. It's a shame in a way as I really enjoyed struggling to get my first carapace shield (rather than shelling* out 5k for it), but then I guess the clever anti-wurm builds have already changed the landscape there.



* No pun intended, honestly I shell you not

Shells have had a rather weird increase in price.

Why? My Guess? Wurm Farmers probably stopped because they weren't making as many sells fast enough, which decreases the amount being sold on the market, and the few that luckily got a shell or two are holding them to higher prices to match the per shield purchase earnings they would have gotten before.

Basically temporarly making 2 shells worth as much as 5 shells were worth.

Wont last long though (might be back down by today...haven't logged in)

armor +8 vs all types of pshyical dmg and ele dmg (cold attacks , slashing dng , blunt dmg, pericing dmg, fire , lightning dmg ...............
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is actually up to atleast +10 armor now.

^ That's from after the update, you couldn't get a gold shield with more than +30 hp in stance before. But that has been changed and now you can find up to +45 hp in stance on gold items.

Ok for the last time (no offense) the max has ALWAYS been +45hp in stance. I have been using this shield since I started gw and its been the same the whole time. Same with gold shields. The +30 is the max for UNCONDITIONAL meaning always.

This has been around for a while and people are getting the wrong information.

Anyone know if the collector inside Amnoon still needs 5 shells for the armor? Down to 2 as well.
