Talk:Glacial Blade

Interesting what skin this weapon will have :) --Grethort 05:29, 1 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Most likely a new one. -- Xeon 05:31, 1 July 2007 (CDT)

mhmm a mix of icy dragon sword and crystaline blade and perfect stats would be nice... :) --Grethort 06:21, 1 July 2007 (CDT)


 * How do we know it's upgradeable? The Spiritbinder can't be upgraded. -- Gordon Ecker 16:35, 10 July 2007 (CDT)


 * The upgrade is specifically listed on the preorder kit ordering page. CompUSA and EBGames have it now. Of course, since the dates appear to be wrong (pre-order and full game on the same day?), the listing could be wrong of course.  Krenn 19:23, 11 July 2007 (CDT)

is this is? http://www.guildwars.com/events/contests/designaweapon07/winner5.php -Kumdori 13:32, 17 July 2007 (CDT)

 * I'm very sure in fact i can confirm this in latests news, as this is the only winning Sword --[[Image:Tomoko's_Cookie.jpg|19px]] (talk) Tomoko 17:10, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I didn't notice any bows in the winning list, did I overlook one? Only saw one in the honorable mentions list too, and I dunno, it looked like a very "elvish" wooden bow, not something that would be called "darksteel". If I didn't overlook one, it looks like they may be taking some liberties with the "winning" choices. Though the sword in question does look like the name "glacial blade" would apply.

 * I've added the picture of the announce. --Selene Moth 12:31, 19 July 2007 (CDT)

Ha! Thought So. -Kumdori 13:26, 19 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah, that's it. "Congratulations to Andre Roux, Bora Vergili, and Marko Cvetrovic!" (see preorder pack details.  --74.140.108.117 13:53, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

Please tell me we can inscribe this.......

 * Looks like it is already -Kumdori 15:39, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Speaking of which, I wonder why they don't change all the special weapons to be moddable and inscribable. There's no point in having kick arse skins that don't perform. Sirocco 16:44, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
 * when you say "special weapons", what do you mean exactly? Like, all the preorders, or greens? cause they are sort of meant to be as-is...-Kumdori 16:49, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Think he means pre-orders. And I agree, they should be moddable. Kinda lame to have a Nevermore flatbow, but if I wanna use it, I'm stuck with a bow that has no bowgrip and can't even be given one. Greens at least come fully modded, even if the mods sometimes suck. DKS01 01:33, 18 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Signed Signed Signed Signed Signed Signed Signed Signed Signed Signed Signed Signed Signed Signed.
 * Eh? I can add Bow grips to my Nevermore Flatbows. Else how come my Monk has a "Nevermore Flatbow of Warding"? Although, that was a long time ago, and I salvaged the mod off it recently, so perhaps it has changed...However, as best I can remember, I have always been able to add mods to my /bonus items. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:38, 18 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I tried putting three different grips on mine and none of them worked. Did you get yours from the online store weapons pack, or the original GotY edition? I got mine from the weapons pack. DKS01 01:47, 18 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Original box, it was my first campaign. What a strange discrepancy. I guess there IS a benefit for buying hard copies after all O.O [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 01:50, 18 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Well, my game was a hard copy too, I bought it before there WAS a GotY edition(like, 2-3 months after original release). And I wasn't gonna buy another copy just for the weapon. At least some of the other bonus items are useful, so it wasn't a total loss. :-/ DKS01 07:54, 18 July 2007 (CDT)

These weapons are based on the designs off the winning designs from the "design a weapon" contest earlier this year! So we could find some of those pictures.

Shouldn't there be a 20% dmg Customized listed. All /bonus weapons are always customized. Rcollins779x 21:14, 20 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Go ahead and add it then. --Macros 21:27, 20 July 2007 (CDT)

FFX
Anyone else think this looks like Tidus' sword from the start of FFX? Fusco  (T/C) 13:58, 20 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Hmm... no -Kumdori 14:13, 20 July 2007 (CDT)
 * That would be Crystalline Sword. - Auron 21:29, 20 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I dunno. I sorta see what he means. But his sword is thicker and always has a hook, if memory serves.[[Image:Horrified.png]]Kilcannon 03:35, 21 July 2007 (CDT)
 * He's got a bunch of swords, here's a picture of the one he uses in most of the art. It's a lot thicker, and covered in water rather than being made of ice. -- Gordon Ecker 03:50, 21 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I don't agree with you there Auron. The Crystaline doesn't look anything like his sword. Fusco  [[Image:FuscoSig.jpg|19px]] (T/C) 12:43, 21 July 2007 (CDT)

Do Anet make fun of us?
The best looking sword in the game is NON INSCRIPTABLE and with a TOTALLY USELESS 15%^ench mod, useless for the warrior, useless for the casters! And i paid 5€ for it. MAKE IT INSCRIPTABLE FFS.


 * Go go Conjure Frost? --dominique 09:23, 21 July 2007 (CDT)


 * Go pro? +15^50 is far better even for a conjure warr.

Well I got mine for free, and - OH DEAR GOD! A PROTECTION MONK! DUCK FROM THE ENCHANTMENTS OF DOOM! Sorry, what? I'm just struggling to comprehend why you're hating a free sword. And it's not "totally useless". You just can't find a use for it like the rest of us. And currency BEFORE number. I was kind enough to fix that for you. This time. - Darkobra
 * Many thanks :) but reserve your kindness for someone who need it, this is an informal chat and i can write any way i want as long as is comprensible. In my country this is the right way, and anyone who is not confortable with other cultures can avoid to read my message.
 * /signed with OP on this. 15^enchant is trash, I payed $5 for this sword, I should at least get to mod it so it is passable. Cliche-looking cold-damage mod swords already exist (IDS), so this one coming in with a terrible damage mod and the same damage type mod makes me sigh. - Auron 08:18, 21 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Conjure Cripslash, and an Aegis Chain. Also... Mending!!!1one 15 while ench is indefinitely better on a Conjure than 15^50. You should be enchanted all the time. And the enchantments are easily gained from monks. Just make a CoP babyface and ask em for Reversal of Fortune. Blaze 14:12, 21 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Yeah you SHOULD, but how many times you get stripped and how long are you attacking with 50% health gone? Try to figure out and you will see that 99% of the game you're full health, both pvp and pve.
 * If this was "Enchantments last 20% longer" it would so be worth it. Free Rajazan's Fervor ftw. But, no, sigh...Well, a Swords-using Dervish would like it I guess. Grenth's Grasp? [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 14:41, 21 July 2007 (CDT)
 * What are you talking about... you CAN add that mod since its a pomel to the glacial sword. Rcollins779x 14:45, 21 July 2007 (CDT)
 * What are you talking about, Sword Pommel of Enchanting costs at least 5k+ and I certainly am not going to waste one of them on a weapon which cannot ever be salvaged. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 14:50, 21 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Well Entropy, you said if it had the enchant mod it be worth it right? well you CAN add the mod so it IS worth it. Whether or not you can afford the mod is a completely different thing. Rcollins779x 15:05, 22 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Twisting my words. It isn't worth it since you have to either already have an Enchanting pommel lying around (unlikely) or you have to buy one. Now, if you're already spending money to buy the pommel. Why do you not just go and buy Rajazan's Fervor and get a totally superior weapon? If you have to spend money, real-life and in-game, then you shouldn't waste it on something like trying to make this a good weapon. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 15:18, 22 July 2007 (CDT)
 * HA-HA all you warriors complain but for my Spirit Strength Rit this is exactly what I'm looking for, plus its shiny!
 * spirit strenght rits use daggers to double strike.
 * You're still missing the Enchanting mod. Rajazan's Fervor >>> this for Spirit's Strength even if it is free. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 16:37, 21 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Actualy, if you're making a spirit's strength build, Glacial Blade > Rajazan's Fervor because you'd spend less money buying the Pomel than you would the Fervor.Zulu Inuoe 22:20, 23 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Let's stick to pvp or difficult pve situations guys... mending ... you should be enchanted...

Rajazan's Fervor is still better if you put an enchanting mod on this. Cus of the +5. Blaze 18:18, 21 July 2007 (CDT)

Fun sword for the job, eh? I am bobo 11:01, 22 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Because...? Blaze 13:13, 22 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Ice damage, enchant...? I am bobo 23:01, 22 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Oh, I hardly play anything else than Mesmer in PvE, and Warrior would be my last choice. Wouldn't know a build for it, other than the Ranger build. Blaze 05:35, 23 July 2007 (CDT)
