Nobody knows yet. Supposedly there are three other items and people think it’s the legendary ring.

Here’s another discussion on it in case you haven’t had the chance to look.

People are going on a chase trying to figure out what it is, I think it’s just a reference to LOTR where they toss the ring into the lava. (oops spoilers).

Wait so this does nothing and nobody knows what it’s for, yet it’s somehow selling for 600 gold. What…

Many people have more gold than they know what to do with.

Looks like the scavenger contracts where people were getting them have been disabled. Unless there’s some other way to get this trophy supplies are extremely limited right now.

If that is the case they can buy a title at the circus instead.

I will laugh like crazy if, when the contracts are reenabled, the drop rate for these rocks from the caches gets upped to something like 50% of the time.

Why not get both? One does not prevent getting the other!

People are speculating that it has something to do with legendary trinkets (IDK why because there was no announcement for legendary trinkets, and the armor isn’t even done yet….) so they are trying to snatch it up.

Would be smarter just to wait though

I sold mine for 10g. Trophies by default don’t do anything….its just a glitch most likely. If anet is going to turn around and do something with it, there gonna be problems where everyone saves every trophy they get. Trophies don’t DO anything…..apparently people are just hoping anet sees them really buying into them and gives them something out of pity. srsly tho ur telling me i could have sold it for over 255g!?!????!?! wtfff? People are literally placing value on something that has no value. This is the guild wars version of buying overpriced art pieces from a museum for a social benefit.

its not an ad. anet can’t talk about it.. the question was asked on their stream.. that is a clip from the stream. if i would have said anet can’t talk about it in words, players would just ask for proof. there is the proof

It would have been helpful to actually quote what you heard. It’s roughly Nellie Hughes (ANet dev) saying there already is a known purpose for the strange rock but she wasn’t going to spoil it for others.

Wow that’s kittened. “You know that thing anyone with a brain woulda thought was a glitch? Ya well it has a purpose but were not gonna announce it yet. Keep in mind there aren’t a million of them in existence so stockpile the crap out of them so the item becomes super expensive and elite.”

Why would they do that if it can’t be put in the forge or anywhere else. so dumb. That’s like creating a junk item and then later on being like “oh aactually that junk item is gonna be super rare and its gonna have a purpose later on that we haven’t implemented yet…..so you know don’t sell or throw them out like u would normally.”

Anyone with a brain? If you haven’t noticed Legendary weapons’ collections also have trophies in them. Trophies you can take around the world to charge, not everything goes to MF.
You are probably just kittened that you sold yours for 10g without thinking. GG, they’re around 300g now.

How could you guess it’s not just a junk item? It has a description ‘humming with magic’ unlike other useless trophies.

Most likely for legendary ring. I would keep it if I find it.

My guess is it will become an ascended ring with a new aura infusion in it. The price of the strange rock should go down a bit when the skritt contracts become available again.

It still has a very low drop rate though. The initial supply was there because people didn’t think it was anything valuable and were selling it really cheap.

Ascended ring with 4 stages? Sounds pretty bad to me considering ascended rings are the easiest ascended equipment to get. 99% chance it will be legendary.

That’s some sort of weird overreaction. Do you really expect developers to comment on stuff that they put in the game specifically as part of a discovery? Speculation was already rampant and would have continued, dev comment or not. If the item has an important use to everyone, the price is going to skyrocket regardless of speculation and if it turns out it has only a niche use than the price will plummet.

There’s no need for developers to comment, except to say that the item is working as intended.

Trophies don’t do anything, but that doesn’t mean they’re useless fodder. Trophies are used in collections, the mystic forge and other things. It could end up being nothing, but that’s not a guarantee.
