Seems so, especially the Bated Breath.

i am half way to collect them all and the belts (HH and the another one) already made my dream vanished.....come on i can't farm 24 hours from week 4 onwards to catch the price hike


I purchased the [Redacted] belt for 10ex like 2 weeks ago and it was smart solution, since now there are 3 available at max and there are going for mirrors lol. Well, that meme stuff is known for being stupidly rare and expensive, see Angler's Plait for example.

Also the most expensive were Nebulis (I purchased them for 20ex, and now they are going for 40ex+), not the Headhunter (13ex).

Replica HH seems like the biggest troll item.

Worse than one inspired learning jewel.


I like its description, though it would fit the regular HH more.
Nebulis?

I bought it with 210c or 3ex + forget 30/40 c....

The weapon is broken if you built on it....too bad I don't have enough ex to buy a pair....

Just my internet is down and no time to built a negative res build a d farm end game and reinvest in unique item

I've taken some time to Transcript each and every item's Flavour Text. I've also tried to order them by Prototype number, in order to see a pattern if any, then group by Researcher's comment for those without a Prototype number

Replica Texts

Prototypes
"One of our researchers cut himself on Prototype #2, and he has not stopped screaming for months…" ~Replica Atziri's Acuity

"While Prototype #3 does imbue its wearer with strenght to match the original, the first researcher to don it burst into flames when he walked into sunlight…" ~Replica Abyssus

"Admittedly lacking the finesse of the fabled original, prototype #4 achieved identical results through brute force alone" ~Replica Iron Commander

"Useless for our purposes, but perhaps we can sell Prototype #5 to an archmage to fund other experiments." ~Replica Kaom's Heart

"Prototype #7 achieved even greater injury responsiveness than expected, though at considerable cost to the long-term survival rate of the user." ~Replica Ambu's Charge

"Prototype #8 makes it difficult to think negatively, but two fatalities resulted when a lead researcher used an epithet in its presence." ~Replica Doedre's Damning

"In testing, Prototype #9 had no effect on fired arrows. However, an unknown spell did destroy the entire firing chamber." ~Replica Karui Ward

"As one of our few creations that did not cost any fatalities, Prototype #10 bore unexpectedly positive results." ~Replica Tukohama's fortress

"A rare unequivocal success, Prototype #11 caused wounds to heal so quickly the type Delta test subject actually survived the entire testing regimen" ~Replica Atziri's Foible

"Twelve dead, and the seventh lab cannot be entered for several years. Prototype #12 is a 'success', if we can ever reach it" ~Replica Lioneye's Paws

"Researcher Graven spent eleven hours suffering electrocution in the lab before he was found. Prototype #14 somehow kept him from dying." ~Replica Winterheart

"The Type Delta test subjects could have escaped with the power offered by Prototype #15. but they suddenly chose to murder each other instead…" ~Replica Hyrri's Truth

"I cannot fathom the mysteries of Prototype #16. It did nearly nothing until I brought it to [RESTRICTED]. It makes no sense! - Researcher Graven ~Replica Bated Breath

"A type Delta test subject escaped with Prototype #18. He was last seen ten times the height of a man and crashing straight through walls." ~Replica Headhunter

"As much as Prototype #20 hints at some deep alternate physics, we cannot afford to expend any more test subjects. Experiments halted." - Administrator Qotra ~Replica Malachai's Artifice

"Likely our closest to the original, yet Prototype #22 still falls short. Are these objects actually somehow resisting our efforts?" ~Replica Tasalio's Sign

"Success! Prototype #54 has tapped into that sliver of divinity that exists within. Faith fuels the flesh, and the flesh fuels the fire…" ~Replica Sorrow of the divine

"Prototype #56 was deemed safe, but judging by Administrato Qotra's new hustle and improved ability to micromanage us, I'm not so sure" - Researcher Graven ~Replica Inya's Epiphany

"Nothing feels so smooth in the hand as Prototype #66. Results like these may justify everything we do here." ~Replica Soul Taker

"Why is Prototype #67 never in the vault it should be? Either we're keeping faulty logs, or…" - Researcher Graven ~Replica Harvest

"Prototype #73 is a near perfect opposite of the original. Perhaps our failures are due to some unknown polarity we have yet to discover." ~Replica Volkuur's Guidance

"Lab Two suffered significant structural damage in the process of creating Prototype #77. It is, however, the closeste we've come to perfection." ~Replica Duskdawn

"Energy redirected is energy imbalanced. Prototype #78 serves as a prime example." ~Replica Twyzel

"Beware. Prototype #91 is haunted by a strange miasma, an odour of evil. Nothing can shield the senses." - Researcher Arn ~Replica Windripper

"I believed I understood Prototype #112 quite fully, until a test subject with Azmeri ancestry donned it. I will be haunted by the results for the rest of my life." - Researcher Graven ~Replica Forbidden Shako

"Reccommend further production of Prototype #122. It makes an ideal weapon for our suppression troops and guards." ~Replica Ungil's Gauche

"Prototype #131 must never be allowed near anyone who bears a wound, no matter how slight. Even a tiny cut makes it exponentially more dangerous." ~Replica Bloodplay

"Researchers will refrain from scaring each other by firing ice spears while holding Prototype #141. Sooner or later someone's going to lose an eye," - Administrator Qotra ~Replica Cold Iron Point

"Prototype #298 must be contained in a non-conductive glass box at all times." ~Replica Reckless Defence

"Prototype #412 seems to bear much in common with Thought Extractor technology" ~Replica Leer Cast

"For personal defences, Prototype #444 is fantastic. It is one hundred percent effective seventy five percent of the time… Once." - Lead Researcher Ksaret ~Replica Mistwall

"Three test subjects confirmed Prototype #495 creates an additional debilitating effect from Poisons. This could be very useful." ~Replica Frostbreath

"Once we armoured the test subject heavily enough to test Prototype #502, he proceeded to fight his way out. I don't know what we expected." - Researcher Graven ~Replica Dreamfeather

"Prototype #599 offers an incredible defensive power, but at a cost. What underlying physics are at play here, I wonder?" ~Replica Kongor's Undying Rage

"Additional test subjects approved. Determine exactly how many wounds need to be endured to activate Prototype #612's energies" ~Replica Advancing Fortress

"A legion of forty soldiers attempted to break into Outpost Five and steal Prototype #659. What do they know that we do not?" ~Replica Prismweave

"Prototype #722 might look like an helmet, but I believe it to be something else entirely. The visions it shows the wearer… are beyond mortal endurance…" ~Replica Veil of the Night

"Distribute Prototype #723 to the guards. Perhaps their survival rate will increase." ~Replica Fragile Bloom

"Twelve test subjects were expended in the production of Prototype #800, Was it worth the expense? Only time will tell." ~Replica Pure Talent

"The remarkable imbalance of prototype #848 lead to uncommon power or speed when striking." ~Replica Wings of Entroy

The Three Researchers

"You know what to do with this, don't you?" - Researcher Graven / "Kill test subjects for their vitality?" - Researcher Olesya / "That is not what he meant." - Researcher Arn ~Replica Blood Sacrifice


---
Researcher Arn

"I feel altered when Administrator Qotra wears these gloves. Somehow, I find that disturbing" - Researcher Arn ~Replica Grip of the Council

"The form of this replica came to me in a troubled dream. I do not believe we should ever allow it to be used." - Researcher Arn ~Replica Eternity Shroud

"Eyes of black, three by three, staring ever darker into me…" - Researcher Arn ~Replica Shroud of the Lightless

"Are we mad for attempting to build an engine out of this? Looping cycles, power and pain…" - Researcher Arn ~Replica Tulfall

"The night-gaunts, they fly, soaring about in darkness beyond the ken of mankind. I hear the silent whispers of their wings as they descend, for me, for me…" - Researcher Arn ~Replica Innsbury Edge

"Lord of Bone, Lord of Flesh, yet all that we can master turns to ash." - Researcher Arn ~Replica Earendel's Embrace

"Ice and flame antagonized in the essence of a prototypoe. What once burned now chills the soul." - Researcher Arn ~Replica Oro's Sacrifice

"The theft of another's vitality is short-lived, but sweet. It calls to me, bidding me abandon all other pursuits." - researcher Arn ~Replica Soul Strike



---
Researcher Olesya

"There is something incredibly satisfying about impaling test subjects with Ethereal Knives. Perhaps it is the sound - the spell, the screams, or both." - Researcher Olesya ~Replica Heartbreaker

"Simply incredible. I caught an escaping test subject myself with swarms of burning skulls. Delightful! - Researcher Olesya ~Replica Midnight Bargain

"An absurdly vicious weapon in the hands of our test subjects. It seems to channel the desperate will to live. Intriguing." - Researcher Olesya ~Replica Last Resort

---

Researcher Graven


"This is one riddle I can't solve" - Researcher Graven ~Replica Paradoxica

"Test subject was able to survive the entire process simply by shouting epithets at the researcher, Researcher's feelings were slightly injured" - Researcher Graven ~Replica Allure

"The most terryfing split second of my life" - Researcher Graven ~Replica Rumi's Concoction

---

Doctor Bircus

"How did you manage to lodge arrows in every single test subject and researcher in Lab Three simultaneously?" - Doctor Bircus ~Replica Quill Rain

"How did you manage to lodge arrows in every single test subject and researcher in Lab Three simultaneously… again?" - Doctor Bircus ~Replica Infractem


---

Lead Researcher Ksaret

"Reccommend extreme caution on any prototypes that can lead to a chain reaction of deaths. Lab Twelve was lost to the flames." - Lead Researcher Ksaret ~Replica Siegebreaker

"The Flames raced through Lab Five with incredible speed, but were extingueshed just as quickly. This could have been much worse." - Lead Researcher Ksaret ~Replica Emberwake

"Does this jewel accomplis nothing? If only we could somehow master cold and turn it to our own ends…" - Lead Researcher Ksaret ~Replica Hotheaded
---

Administrator Qotra

"Outpost Twelve has been abandonend. On the bright side, I expect the plague of apparitions to serve as ample defence for the relics we left behind" - Administrator Qotra ~Replica Bones of Ullr

"Researchers will please refrain from combining our prototypes with existing relics of power. The temptation is obvoius, but the results can be… unpredictable." - Administrator Qotra ~Replica Red Trail

"Close to the original, and perhaps even more useful. However, close is not what we are looking for. Keep trying." - Administrator Qotra ~Replica Victario's Charity

"Researchers will refrain from giving test subjects virtue gems which produce traps. We are still finding explosives in the vents months later." - Administrator Qotra ~Replica Unstable Payload

"Whatever these maps are, it is clear they are dangerous. Send in only test subjects, no guards or researchers." - Administrato Qotra ~Replica Pillars of Arun

"Did nobody think to report that we had acquired some sort of free-floating memory? Cease testing and lock this away immediately!" - Administrato Qotra ~Replica Cortex

---

Others

"Attempt #120: the prototype has finally achieved power similiar to the original without breaking all the bones of the test subject. A rousing success." ~Replica Farrul's Fur

"So close, yet frustratingly distinct. Something more is going on here..." ~Replica Voideye

"Curious. The test spike penetrated the subject's flesh, but the chest wouynd was not as deep as expected. There is something here…" ~Replica Soul Tether

"Test subject walked right trought the poison gas defenses, and attempts to slow her failed. Suppression troop six, the 'Furious Flagellants', have been sent to intervene" ~Replica Alpha's Howl

"Test subject was able to walk into the walls of his chamber after breaking a rabbit's neck. He was not fast enough, however. Suggest we begin excavation to retrieve prototype" ~Replica Voidwalker

"The test suject nearly escaped, but the poison gas system in the hallway functioned as expected." ~Replica Three-step Assault

"Suppression troop seven, the 'Glowering Faithful', managed to fell the escaping test subject by timing their arrows between his explosive dashes." ~Replica Stampede

"Starving test subject became completely incapable of exerting force. However, after being fed, he began to poison everything he touched…" ~Replica Alberon's Warpath

"There seems to be some innate relationship between the forces of chaos and cold. Perhaps we should consult an occultist," ~Replica Allelopathy

"Our superiors were getting anxious for results, and lowered security standards. A single attempt of a spell with this unexpected power destroyed an entire floor." ~Replica Kalisa's Grace

"Better…Stronger…More vital… and then… Failure. Always, failure. What key fundamental secret are we missing?" ~Replica Loreweave

"Test subject battered through the hatch with her bare hands, forcing us to resort to threatening her children to restore containment," ~Replica Perfect Form

"Attempt #2520: Been slaving away at this one for longer than I can remember. Convinced this assignment is retribution from my superior…" ~Replica Bitterdream

"Test subjects were unable to strike even a motionless target. However, when a trained guard tried it…" ~Replica Tempestous Steel

"We could rival the gods with this power, if only we had the mitigating mechanisms to make it work. A jewel, a talisman, an armour… or the Font…" ~Replica Nebulis


"Attempt #306: the power I can sense in this ancient branch still eludes me. Perhaps if I attach some string and a hook…" ~Replica Fencoil

"Physical forces and flames seem to share some innate bond. What logic lies beneath the veil of reality?" ~Replica Blood Thorn

"The best place for this prototype would be in the hands of our enemies." ~Replica Trypanon

"The Midnight Tinkerer's aid was invaluable during our brief alliance, but when we failed to make any progress on resurrection, he continued his search elsewhere…" ~Replica Maloney's Mechanism

"An intriguing paradox." ~Replica Lavianga's Spirit

"A curious jewel. Like so many others, a shining little paradox." ~Replica Cheap Construction

"The summoned golems immediately battered through the chamber wall and killed several guards, but their fury only lasted a short time" ~Replica Primordial Might

"The effct is subtle, but potentially lethal…" ~Replica Conqueror's Efficiency

"Suppression troop two, the 'Martyrs for Science', were able to seal the portals before Outpost Four was overrun. Only three men survived". ~Replica Poorjoy's Asylum
