This weekend in Eye of the North you can earn double reputation points. Starting from 7pm today (20th June), and running until 7am Monday (23rd June) you can boost your Norn, Asura, Ebon Vanguard and Deldrimor Title Tracks by completing quests and dungeons, and gain twice the normal Reputation Points.

This sadly doesn’t apply when handing in completed books, but if you haven’t already completed some of the dungeons and storyline quests, now is a great time to fill out your Hero’s Handbook or Master Dungeon Guide, and boost your Title Tracks at the same time.

Hope to see you all in Guild Wars over the weekend.

Few things are scarier than going into battle against nutters with axes and hammers. In Guild Wars, mauls and axes are the weapons of choice for that sophisticated beatdown that warriors deliver so well.

Both are available from the Artisan of Steel in Droknar’s Forge.

The Deldrimor Axe stats are:

• Slashing Dmg: 6-28 (req. 9 Axe Mastery)
• Damage +15% (while Health is above 50%)
• Armor penetration +20% (Chance: 20%)
• Health +30

While the Deldrimor Maul stats are:

• Blunt Dmg: 19-35 (req. 9 Hammer Mastery)
• Damage +15% (while Health is above 50%)
• Armor penetration +20% (Chance: 20%)
• Health +30

Both of these unique green Deldrimor items share the same stats with other uniques, like Kanaxi’s Axe or Droknar’s Maul - but these items lack the kudos of Deldrimor weapons, given the Deldrimor Talisman only drops when the Lich is defeated at the end of Guild Wars Prophecies.

Over in Droknar’s Forge dwells the Artisan of Steel, and once Warriors have picked up a Deldrimor Talisman from defeating the Lich at the end of Guild Wars Prophecies, that’s where they’ll need to head next.

The Artisan of Steel can construct the Deldrimor Sword, another third year anniversary unique item, this time for Warriors.

The Deldrimor Sword has the following attributes:

• Slashing Dmg: 15-22 (req. 9 Swordsmanship)
• Damage +15% (while Health is above 50%)
• Armor penetration +20% (Chance: 20%)
• Health +30

Although the Deldrimor Sword is a unique green item, it’s stats are maxxed, and are thus the same as other swords in Guild Wars. Apart from the skin and animations, the Deldrimor Sword is identical to:

• Droknar’s Sword
• Eldritch Sword
• Forgotten Sword
• Kanaxai’s Edge
• Reaper’s Blade

Somewhat confusingly, there’s also already a Deldrimor Sword in Guild Wars. The weaponsmith Grand Mason Stonecleaver, who is also in Droknar’s Forge, can craft you one for the bargain price of 10 Steel Ingots, 10 Deldrimor Steel Ingots, and 10 Platinum. However, the stats are slightly less impressive - the non-unique Deldrimor Sword only grants 15-22 Slashing Damage.

The third special new Deldrimor item in Guild Wars that we’re looking at is the Deldrimor Staff. A two handed weapon for casters, Staves combine the properties of both a wand and a focus item. At least, the good ones do.

The Deldrimor Staff is essentially a combination of the bonuses from the Deldrimor Focus and Deldrimor Scepter. Wielding a wand and a focus item gives the caster more options in terms of bonuses, cool looking items, etc. but there’s always something a bit bad-arse about wading into battle wielding a big two-handed staff.

The Deldrimor Staff gives the following bonuses:

• +10 Energy
• 11-22 attribute damage (requires 9 Attribute points)
• Halves skill recharge time (20% chance)
• +5 Energy whilst Health is above 50%
• +60 Health

So, if my Elementalist was wielding a Fire Deldrimor Staff, she’d need at least 9 Fire Attribute points to gain any of the bonuses, and it would do 11-22 Fire damage.

A Deldrimor Staff can be crafted by giving a Deldrimor Talisman to the following unique crafters in Droknar’s Forge:

• Artisan of Light
• Artisan of Death
• Artisan of Illusion
• Artisan of Elements
• Artisan of Spirits

Personally I prefer single handed items, as that allows me more freedom in mixing and matching my gear. Having said that, the Deldrimor Staff has ‘perfect’ bonuses - ie. they are the maximum possible bonuses that can be granted from a weapon - so it’s a pretty powerful unique item.
