1)  If someone buys stuff they didn't find it.  They'd have no place in this thread.

2)  You will still find your stuff.  You'll still have your acomplishment.  Why are you so darn worried about everyone else?

90%+ of the problems in our world are due to people forcing their ideals and morals on everyone else.  How does it feel to be part of the problem?

AC1, a nice AR tinkered weapon, on a combine that should've failed but it made it despite the odds

In SWG (pre) I wanted a Tuskan Rifle that I could use instead of the higher cert. rifles.  I liked the way the tuskan rifle looked and loved the way it sounded.  It had such a sharp retort. They also did massive mind damage for their cert level and unaltered.  So I contacted a weaponsmith who said he could make me a bad-ass tuskan.  He sent me on quest after quest to find the materials he needed, sometimes I would come back, wait, just for him to tell me the quality wasn't good enough, and send me back for something better.  I was beginning to think he was f*cking with me, but finally after about 3-4 weeks, I had collected everything he wanted, and he made me my rifle, which he had sliced for optimum dmg out put.  That rifle was amazing and it was the only one on the server, probably in the game.

It was a great time and experience getting that gun.

Thanks

2 piece Marble Table in UO.. sold for 500$ before i quit.

My rarest item was legendary hammer of the Fire Lord, Ragnaros in Classic WoW. I was playing warrior called Vonart on Ravencrest server, it was most popular server on EU.Got spam whisper from many player and crashed few times first night when made my hammer with eye of sulfuras :). Took me 5 months to collect some epic materials to made it.

thats easy

skill

some of you should try for that instead of the gear you are chasing after

While not especially rare, I had the honor of creating the first EU release Arcanite Reaper in WoW, this was 11 days after release, I had recruited the alchemists before release.

Probably a Half Full Jug of Wine in RuneScape, I still have it on a banned account. There's like 3-5 of them left in the whole RS.

Or

Panther Killing 5 Scroll in Angels Online, I was the 4th on the whole server to get it. It was a drop from a boss that spawns once in 30 mins, and the chances for getting it were 0,13%.

In a MUD I used to play I had a "Tarkin's Handkerchief". I'm pretty convinced no one else had one :P

look handkerchief

It's worn, well-used and in a dire need of washing.

hold handkerchief

You clutch it like a security blanket!

grin

You grin.

In Ultima Online, I received a tunic for participating in a special event. They were created specially for the event, and there were only about a dozen made. After the event, I sold it for $100.

The Baron's mount, Death Charger, in WoW.  Before they upped the drop rate.

wow you really all are a bunch of worthless noobs :D

Back in 2002 a time before WoW  I used to play Ragnarok Online. I had 2 accounts. One had a Bard and one had Sage. I would charge for the hour to Summon Boss thru Abracadabra. I ended up with 2 Golden Thieft Cards 1 Behamut 1 Maya and 2 Doppleganger Cards.  I also bought a ton of Old Purple Box where i got my Glasses wit hone slot which was pimp in that time.

I found a legit 1.08 windforce and 1.08 Arkaines Valor in D2 expansion :).

Nice thread.  It brought me back to some old games I haven't played/thought about in a while.

In SWG I a bunch of rare items, though nothing I would classify as jaw dropping in rarity.  Among my combat related rarities; I had a DE-10 Pistol, a full suit of RIS armor, a Trando Hunting Rifle, and a KS Firespray.  I had loads of rugs, paintings, and holos too.  A full set of all the JTL paintings was probably the rarest of decorative loot.  

In WoW the rarest thing I ever had was the legendary hammer Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros.  I was lucky enough to have the highest DKP in my guild the night the Eye dropped off Rag.  It took me another six months of farming to gather the rest of the mats needed to craft the damn the thing. Not to mention the scores of angry guild warriors I had to deal with who cried that the hammer was wasted on a paladin.  Then sadly all my months of effort were made useless when BC hit and my legendary hammer was out classed by 66-68 lvl greens.  That more than anything killed WoW for me.  I hung around for the rest of the BC, though I never really got back into hardcore raiding.  I finally left with Lich King.

Back in my DAOC days I spent 88 hours farming "Shades 3 of 3" for the Shades of Mist book.  Daoc players will remember this one ; )

The Flower Black Silk Sash in EQ1 was probably the rarest drop I had obtained in an MMO. I wasn't camping lower guk for that item in particular but more exp grinding with the group when it dropped. i had probably spent dozens of hours in that one room and was ecstatic when I won the roll.

After the group was finished the SK wanted to purchase the FBSS for around 8k platinum and I was a very happy camper after that.

wow, poor OP, must have a very boring life... and is very naive.

 I recieved Amanomurakumo in FFXI which is a Relic Great Katana. Only one or two people have a relic weapon per server in FFXI which allows an exclusive ability to anyone who wields a relic weapon, took me 3 years to get. Man I wish I had that kind of time now to play MMOs....

 

I also recieved Maat's Cap which is something you get for beating Maat with each level 75 Job in FFXI. It isn't as rare as the weapon but still it's pretty rare to see.

Nice!!!
