Talk:Flame Spitter

I was playing as my R/E in Serenity Temple, asking for people to help me with The Geomancer's Test, a kind lv20 W/Mo who offered to help me came along we got loads of Scorched Lodestones which he needed, it turns out he was looking for this weapon and was saying how it -at time of writing- solds for 2.5k non-upgraded/clean at Augury Rock. I tried this and people said it was "rubbish", one W/Mo even said it was "dodgy" and thought I was crazy... --Jamie 18:43, 24 February 2006 (CST)
 * I don't get what your saying :S You tried selling it and got abuse? 212.158.245.101 18:59, 24 February 2006 (CST)


 * Sorry my story wasn't so clear, yes that is what happened, I got laughed at -- Jamie 19:16, 24 February 2006 (CST)


 * Well.. you are trying to sell an Ascalon collector item ;) 212.158.245.101 21:00, 24 February 2006 (CST)

Way back when, the mod on the item used to be a higher percent, but it wa slater changed. The old versions sell for over 2.5k

Collector doesn't appear all the time?
Everytime I have been in that area(everytime I do Frontier Gate Fugitives and some class quests from Serenity Temple, elementalist and mesmer) I have seen this collector. I have 14 characters, all have done Fugitives quest, some the class quests, and I would say that its been around 20 times. I don't know this exactly, but everytime I see him, I have forgotten what he was peddling, so I stop in to say hi. --22:06, 24 February 2006 (CST)
 * I believe it's bug, collector got killed sometimes. I and my friend were looking for him 3 months ago, he said he ran there several times, but didn't see collector. So I go with him, and we fianlly find the collector. IMO, it's not a problem if you are alone or not.--heach 11:17, 7 July 2006 (CDT)

Move to Flame Splitter
I propose that this article be moved to Flame Splitter, to be consistant with the other article names (for example, Plasma Blade instead of Shocking Plasma Blade and Ascalon Razor instead of Barbed Ascalon Razor of Charrslaying. --Scutilla 19:42, 10 April 2006 (EST)
 * I counter-propose that it be moved to Flame Spitter, its proper spelling. :p -Savio 01:01, 11 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Disagree, want Dragon Sword? Skuld  01:12, 11 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Fiery/Icy Dragon Swords are a special case because they only spawn with one of those two prefixes and it's not possible to replace it. IMHO, the prefix should be part of the article name iff it's permanently attached in this way. --adeyke 01:38, 11 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Well, the prefix on the Fiery Flame Spitter is actually replacable by another mod, but this special item from the Collector is called Fiery Flame Spitter when you get it. And it is well known by that name. So I'd vote leave the name of the article as it is. Unless someone find's another Flame Spitter in game that isn't initially prefixed with Fiery.
 * For reasons already mentioned, I'm for leaving it as it is. Foo 12:36, 11 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Because the mod can be replaced, I'm for moving the article to Flame Spitter, with a redirect from Fiery Flame Spitter to it. LordKestrel 20:36, 11 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Agreed. I think that would be best. --adeyke 20:53, 11 April 2006 (CDT)
 * A compromise: let's move the article to "Flame Spitter", making formalists happy, and make "Fiery Flame Spitter" a redirect, making colloquialists happy. Consistency with other names but no loss of searchability, and we can still call it the Fiery Flame Spitter in articles! (Downside: if "Fiery Flame Spitter" is really going to be the term linked to most, does it truly make sense to have a redirect from there to "Flame Spitter" rather than vice versa?) --130.58 21:00, 11 April 2006 (CDT)
 * I agree. Since the mod can be replaced, it needs to be just the "Flame Spitter". A redirect will be useful though as "Fiery Flame Spitter" is the most common name for it. - Unchain 09:44, 21 April 2006 (CDT)

Why do people want this thing?
Aren't there wands around with some kind of recharge boost, too? --130.58 02:01, 11 April 2006 (CDT)
 * It is not just the recharge boost, that makes this item so interesting, but the fact that you can upgrade it with another mod, let's say 'Enchantments last 20% longer'. Wand's can't be modded with upgrades and I haven't seen a wand with an inherent enchantment mod yet :)
 * I also like it for being a melee weapon, which allows for running into pbaoe range at a press of the spacebar. Lazy me :) 134.130.4.46 01:31, 25 July 2006 (CDT)

Hi. Dye just changes the colour of the handle. Sadly it still looks terrible in green or yellow-green. Why is it "unknown"?
