Barbed

From Guild Wars Wiki

Barbed is a weapon upgrade that lengthens the duration of the bleeding condition that you inflict upon your foes by 33%. This affects conditions inflicted by any skill, not just from attack skills, as long as the weapon is equipped when the skill is used.

[edit] In-game description

Lengthens Bleeding duration on foes by 33%

[edit] Upgrade components which provide this bonus

• Axe Haft
• Sword Hilt
• Dagger Tang
• Scythe Snathe
• Bow String
• Spearhead

[edit] Notes

• Despite the in-game description, while a Barbed weapon is equipped, the duration of any bleeding condition inflicted by a skill will be increased, even if the skill is self-targeting (such as Signet of Agony).
• The collector Louise Haup offers a collector sword that can be salvaged for a Barbed Sword Hilt.
