[edit] Trivia

• 20% Sword Pommels, Bow Grips, and Hammer Grips of Charrslaying can still be salvaged from certain weapons obtained from Ascalon (post-Searing) collectors. Prior to the April 19, 2007 game update, these collector weapons included salvageable 25% Charrslaying suffix mods instead. The update did not affect any existing 25% versions in players' inventories.
