Talk:The Rapture

I love this skin. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ аІiсә ѕνәи Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 03:59, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

...a necromancer is holding it. Cuilan 21:33, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Well those fetishes are rare, yet do exist, it all started in 1783... but more of that in a later episode.--Markisbeest 21:39, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Trivia

Rapture would seems to be an obvious reference to something of biblical proportions. Is there a way this could be confirmed? Don't want to start a revert war with Sharkinu or anyone else. Kyle van der Meer 04:47, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

This is actually a reference to the dictionary where Rapture is a real word that didn't have anything to do with theology until some guy was going mad in isolation and decided to write a novel. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ аІiсә ѕνәи Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 04:44, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

When in doubt, it is best to start the war. Otherwise Sharkinu may strike first. Siris/talk 05:45, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

As long as I'm breathing, without a solid confirmation that it is in fact from the bible you're not going to make such a trivia. Rapture is a WORD, it means an elevated state of bliss or euphoria as if being "lifted" or "taken" away (rapt/ rape). Seeing as it is a Mesmer item, it seems to be just a general use of the word rapture because Mesmers have a knack for affecting peoples moods, or the staff itself holds a rapturous power for Mesmers. The only hint of it being any sort of reference to anything biblical is that it's a white mantle weapon, and the white mantle are religious, but I don't know any Christian that would want their God to be compared to the Mursaat. I'm just trying to promote knowledge of the English language. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ аІiсә ѕνәи Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 20:45, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

But there's also the fact that it's named THE Rapture, as opposed to just Rapture.

Oo'

Me likey, me might buy it... pretty good stats, damn cool skin, FC staff o need, im might just buy it when I'm able to get 25k for a green Oo' Haunted Shadow13:56, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Is it really 25k? Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ аІiсә ѕνәи Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 20:46, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Someone said 5-10k... but there's literally no one selling. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ аІiсә ѕνәи Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 01:57, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

245k. Anet you're really bad at this Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ аІiсә ѕνәи Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 13:13, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Meh, I'd take that with a shaker of salt, it was based on one reported sale, when they first came out. Someone had way too much money, and it may have been one of the ones that was able to have dual mods. -- FreedomBound 13:20, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

The thread is up to date as of June 1st. And it's an Astral Staff with Fast Casting req. which is impossible otherwise. It's worth xx at least. Give us a fucking break anet. Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ аІiсә ѕνәи Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ 17:31, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

saw someone selling for 250k today in GTOB :(( --90.200.178.164 09:46, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

Yes still around the same price, which is nice as I have one I dont need in storage atm.Tong2 00:39, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

time and place of drop

one droped for me on a courier Falcon run in Nebo Terrace. From Bergen hot springs. In normal mode with hero's only, it droped from the last group of White Mantle. 09-01-10.(Jaxx Hammer)--173.16.56.248 16:47, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

I have gotten three of these in Nebo Terrace, normal mode, no heroes or henchmen (solo, in other words). I start from Beetletun and basically just stay along the border to the character's right, ending in the area of Imuk the Pungent. I've actually been unsuccessfully farming this spot for Law and Order, but since I've gotten The Rapture three times in this run I thought I should mention it here. 172.1.196.216 12:45, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

Make that four times. These are not the uniques I'm looking for....172.1.196.216 22:51, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

...And now 5 times. I should point out that I got this one in Watchtower Coast, not Nebo Terrace.172.1.196.216 15:34, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

Quick aside: I finally got Law and Order. Maybe I can stop getting duplicates of The Rapture now? We'll see.172.1.196.216 12:15, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

I've heard rumors that it doesn't drop anymore. Is that true?--74.103.157.38 14:06, 5 November 2016 (UTC)

I don't see a reason why it would've stopped dropping, nor an update that would've actually done that. Probably just someone trying to convince people this special staff they're selling is worth more than it actually is. On a side note, this original convo was had two and a half years ago.
