Rarity of Changeling Copies

Post by RobRoy »

I was inquiring to the number of changeling copies are currently out there for valuation sake. I have a 1handed Yumi, 1 handed Halberd and Rav shield copies and I was instructed to post so this information becomes public knowledge. Lay it on us +C! Thank you kindly.

i'll hazard a guess, in blighted grove and the twisted weald a monster copies your appearance and it used to drop a copy of some of your equipment without stats. so if you have a 1-handed yumi, 1-handed halberd or ravnos shield and fight it then loot it you get those items without stats on it. maybe it stopped dropping those items and the OP wants to know how rare are the ones they got from before the change. I don't remember if you could use those items for a sample or anything, if it did the obvious thing to do would be copy something like the cavalry shield but that would be into exploit territory if it even worked as a sample.

It's great when old bugs come to haunt you :)

From the looks of it, this bug was in the game from the very start (or maybe we added this content a few months or a year later). The bug was fixed in July 2013 - so that the items could no longer be looted.

I just did a search, but it's impossible to get the exact number of items, since those items don't have anything identifyable on them, that would link them to this bug. Best estimate i can give you is that there are 1330 items, that have a signature of what could originate from here. But it's not possible to say how many of these 1330 items are actually from this particular bug.

Gotcha kind of hard to believe there are that many when you never ever see them anywhere and anyone I talk to isn’t familiar. Some Old veteran must have some old Chevy trunk full of em parked in the back lot
Someplace lol. Thank you for trying to track down this for me sorry it’s such a difficult things to identify for you guys
