Talk:Unique item

Sigh. Every unique item links to Unique Item. --Fyren 21:18, 30 Sep 2005 (EST)

I can't find where that discussion went, but I did confirm it today. Unique Items cannot be upgraded. I tried an upgrade on my precious Brimstone staff and with a big GULP I pressed "yes" on the confirmation dialog. I was told that the upgrade does not apply to the item (it was a staff head). So, apparently, ArenaNet has coded their type as something OTHER than the basic weapon types to avoid people messing with them. --Karlos 00:43, 5 Oct 2005 (EST)

Drop Rate
In the article, it states "When you kill the boss, there is a certain chance that he will drop one (or more) of his unique items." Has anyone done any research into drop rates? Does every boss have the same drop rate, or does it vary by boss? The only Unique dropping boss I've killed more than once is the Scarab, where we had 2 drops in 4 kills. Anyone else have some numbers? (preferably a larger sample size than 4 :)) LordKestrel 06:16, 24 March 2006 (CST)


 * All unique bosses have the chance to drop more than one green at a time. I have seen that many times in SF, and in Tombs it is almost a guarantee, although I have seen one Darkness drop only one green before. Never done any studies as I'm too happy when one is reserved for me :D --Gares Redstorm 06:27, 24 March 2006 (CST)

merchant price
I noticed an anon took that out. What are the merchant prices for Factions uniques? - 12:50, 10 June 2006 (CDT)

Since the 15/06 update, there are now green items that drop from non-boss mobs.
