Semi-Leet Warrior Collection: Mini Intro
›› leet, l33t, 1337, geek! (last update: October 20, 2008)
Like many other online games, there are certain weapons that are rarer and more desired after in Guild Wars; but what’s awesome about the GW’s rare weapons is that they don’t give you super stats, just the rarer skin, i.e. you don’t have to have them. Oh, and they’re usually Warrior weapons. So, this is my small collection!
No, I don’t know who else can possibly be geekier than me.

Final Notes
›› leet, l33t, 1337, geek!I did not and will never buy any of these golds. I enjoy the thrill of picking them up as drops or from chests myself — even if I’d end up spending more on Lockpicks than from buying a low req, max dmg gold from a fellow player. That also means I’ll likely never get my hands on some of the Hall of Heroes drops, though, hence the “semi” in semi-1337. Wait! GW:EN drops?! And I also did some HA? Gasp!
