[edit] Victory

Offhand users everywhere salute you, ANET. For once we have an object we can be proud of holding (or floating next to our hand in spacial stasis...) Grats and very nice work to the artist.

Wow.

This focus looks really nice. -AyaStowar

"Really nice" is an understatement. It looks AWESOME. --Mme. Donelle 05:36, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

YES, finally they added a nice offhand! :D --Lundis 12:17, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

this is the greatest little thing for an ele I'VE EVER SEEN!!!! and i got 1 too *smug*

YEAAAAAAAAAH Got one today :D Dropped from Underworld Chest --Stokoe 03:09, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Animated?

is this animated? ~~Noxify

People on Guru say yes. 128.82.11.191 06:02, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

And this focus if for...? Monk, Mesmer, Ele...? Anyway, nice disign! --Belinda 13:36, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

It's animated (small circles spin), and it seems to drop in all attributes. ~ | Pae - Talk | 04:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FFX maybe?

is it just me or looks like its taken from Final Fantasy! oO 86.62.250.4 09:36, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

yeah, does look like something Yuna would wear in FFX, maybe just a coincidence though Slaphead Monk

If you guys still want to know, send me a message and I'll ask Tony the next time I see him.--Yankeefan984 00:09, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] look familiar?

- what an odd coincidence, maybe that is where the designer took his inspiration. --Lemming 12:10, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

That can't be, the contest was before the release of eotn ;) 217.123.100.130 14:53, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Maybe Anet's design team took their inspiration from this offhand :) Arduinna 12:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Attributes

Got one linked to Water Magic - Kiji 23:24, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Divine Favor one here ~ | Pae - Talk | 04:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Ive had death magic, fire magic, air magic, and channeling magic, they come in all attributes ^^ C4K3 Talk 19:05, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Dye

Does anyone know if dye affects it?--Hyprodimus Prime 18:58, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Dye does affect it. ~ | Pae - Talk | 04:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Drop Locations

So there are tons and tons of threads/posts on Guru about how nobody has seen them drop from the Dadala Uplands chests. A few people turn up every few pages to say keep looking, but no proof. I'd say we remove from here and the other wiki and call it a day, especially since the other drop locations seem far more appropriate. 68.19.126.15 10:43, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ugly

pretty much, i'd never use this shit --Blood Anthem 02:40, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I think it looks awesome.--Sander 16:59, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for expressing your opinion about the looks of the item here. It is by far one of the best contributions to the wiki I have seen so far. So again, thank you. Saphatorael 18:07, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

But ye it is ugly not because of the design, but because when you look at it in profile it's super thin. It has no thickness whatsoever. That's just yucky. 78.2.4.47 17:34, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Well i personally think its sexy but i hope they start adding depth the weapons and offhands soon as the paper wafer thin thingy is weird. -- Salome 18:16, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Its so tiny, my Flame Artifact looks better, although if they made this into a shield, i think id prefer this over my torm shield C4K3 Talk 19:05, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] IRL

yay :P —ZerphaThe Improver 12:44, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nice, But..

Its way too small, i bought my ele one and sold it shortly afterwards cause i could hardly see it Dmilne798 07:09, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] pc

How much is the r9 healing? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 99.244.204.77 (talk • contribs) at 00:35, 5 December 2008 (UTC).

Other fansites may help you with price-checking; that's not really what the wiki's for. -- Brains12 \ talk 00:39, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Phantasy Star Online

I know people are actually thinking Final Fantasy, but this looks way too close to the runecircles in Phantasy Star Online, which also has a very similar shield in that game.--Norrukki 20:39, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Where did this come from?

"The top circle on the compass is always pointed towards the Hall of Heroes." Any references for this statement? 72.145.116.61 06:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

It is possible. There are skills that have animations that face to the north in EOTN. Due to the price however, I cannot personally test. I'll see who I can get a hold of to test this. --Norrukki 06:59, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

The Hall of Heroes has a physical location in Tyria? I thought it was in The Mists. There are entrances in Tyria, sure, but iirc those are just portal type thingys. Ashes Of Doom 02:09, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

I do have one, I tested it. It points the same direction. One screen outside the Eye of the North, the other in the Ring of Fire.

--Hyprodimus Prime 08:50, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm not to sure what I'm supposed to be looking at. Do you mean it points upwards on both screens? 145.94.74.23 08:45, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm not getting it either. Maybe I ought to buy one to see it for myself :S --Arduinna 08:55, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

I got one and there is no co-relation. lol DarkMugen 00:46, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Structure outside Rata Sum

The Celestial Compass looks exactly like the thing in the middle of the structure outside Rata Sum.

70.240.210.45 07:02, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

That thing has 4 circular pictures in it, the Compass only 3. --Arduinna 08:52, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Clipping

Am I the only one who see the compass glow disappear when its infront of the cape? --Aartist21 21:01, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Im not seeing any clipping errors, but im seeing the actual glowing parts of the compass disappear when in front of certain types of armor. On my sin, the glowing blue of the bottom half disappears when it's in front of imperial or canthan armor, but is fine in front of monument armor. It's really odd :O ПALANA 00:25, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Celestial Navbar

Should we add it to the celestial navabar, even if just for navigation purposes? 145.94.74.23 07:01, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Size

Perhaps we should add a screenshot of this where you can see the entire character, just to show the size, since its so small C4K3 Talk 19:05, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
