No freaking 15^50 15% always. That is amazing. How is that possible?

Heh I was wondering if this would show up..v.nice axe.

No negs dropped during the first 2 weeks of GW going live. They stopped the drops because they were deemed to cause an "imbalance" in the game..which is a load of BS.

Most valueable item in the game if it wasn't customized. Akh got a nice 14% no neg serpant, Cap has a few no negs and so does Herb&Spil.

Fixed for accuracy.

The customized crystallines+dwarven are pretty hot - are they all 15^50?

Probably.

edit: I'm assuming this pic was before the release of Factions due to the fact that the UI interface is still "old-school".

Good old zrave, that axe is legendary. I think those 15% unconditional only dropped in pre-nerf Arid Sea (like someone said earlier, about 2 weeks after release). I remember finding some very bizarre mods on items out there, I think I once found an axe that had the half spell casting time for Fire magic . I wish I had some sweet item to show off here, but I think the best drop I've ever even gotten was some dopey 15^50 req 7 longsword that I gave away.

For those of you not in the loop, pre-nerf Arid Sea had three wreckages (chests that didn't need keys) that could each be gotten to without fighting anything, and each of them dropped 3 rare items every time.

Sorry. I just couldn't resist.



And in full view:



What can I say... I was bored.
As an afterthought I realized it wasn't customized. Oh well. I don't feel like going back to change it.

I'm going to customize my bp ranger bow.
req 9(?) Azure Recurve 15^50 etc. It was a gift from my GL, so I'll never get rid of it. My main char is a monk so I tend not to customize, plus it allows me to trade weapons around the guild if anybody needs a staff I'm not using much anymore.

But that's just my 2 cents

Customized them as I was bored. I dont even play warrior lol. Should have sold the hammers when I was offered 3.5 and 1.5 mil for them. O well, I just customized what is to the best of my knowledge the only no neg and hod hammer on an active account

Zraves dwarven axe and akhs serpent are the 1337sauce. shame i havnt seen a no neg for sale in like ages. last one was caps bow and lems 13% long sword.

Only things I customize are my warrior weapons that don't have perfect or any dmg mod at all (and were cheap to buy). Don't think I would ever customized anything that would have a high value in the market because later on I just might want to sell it.

Herb - I don't see the appeal on the 2nd hammer.

18-33 x 14% = 20.5 - 37.6

versus

19-35 x 15% (over 50% health) = 21.8 - 40.2

I'd take the additional 1.3 - 2.6 damage, even if it is conditional, over that gold hammer every day of the week (and twice on Sundays). :dunno:

What's the point of leaving these weapons uncustomized if you want to use them on a regular basis? Lots of these items are worth tons simply because they are Req 7 or 14% greater damage rather than 15% greater damage, but you voluntarily give up on 20% damage? Makes no sense at all.

I prefer rarity over stats or skin any day. I would rather have something unique which noone else can ever own than a normal weapon with better stats. Coolyguy had a no neg hammer and some random dude had a shining maul neither have played in like years. Anyway not bad seeing both hammers cost me total of 180k.

I agree - I figured that was why the cost was so high...it's just that the items with rare skins normally have crazy prices when they have functionality that is pretty close to a maximum version of the same weapon.

By the way, I'm absolutely drooling over the other old quest item hammer...+15 health on a hammer warrior (over the best alternative) isn't anything to take lightly.

i save up for expensive things and buy them to use. i customize everything i get that i am going to use, except staves and wands.

req 9 15^50 gothic dual axe
req 10 15^50 mursaat hammer
req 10 15^50 mursaat hornbow
req 10 15^50 zodiac longbow
req 10 15^50 fellblade
req 12 15^50 firey and icy blade axes
etc..

none are perfect, but i see no point in req 8 weapons when im the one thats going to be using them and do not plan to sell...always have a minimum of 12 weapon mastery anway..almost always more.

HOW DO YOU AFFORD THOSE 15% ALWAYS DWARVENS AND CRYSTALINES???!!!!!

if it actually went past that, i honestly cant say where the dwarven would stand.
personally i value my no cond serpant over my crystalline, however, it cost me less than i would expect an 8 15.50crys to go for.
same goes for zraves axe, personally i value it higher, but i dont know if it would sell for more or not.
the no conds, are, imo priceless for the most part, but they dont always have the highest going rates. spils 8 15% axe only cost him 400 ecto, which is pretty ludicrous when you consider it is the ONLY 8 15% no cond axe. granted, the skin wasnt the most popular.
No neg would get my vote and cash. Because of rarity and axes>swords

@ the guy with green axe..lol!! a green more vauleable then a 15^50 crystalline..never happen.

Items I have customized and no longer use:

Gordac's Needle - recreated with NF skin
Villnar's Wand - recreated with NF skin
Deadly Cesta (19/9 death, req 10, paid 75k)

That's it. Blood, Curses, Death. I use the first two on heroes now.

The last one went from being an awesome high-end MM wand, to worthless, when Factions came out. Still, I prefer my 20/20 death wand now

lol, as fun as it was creating my own little sword of 1000 truths, I think I've had enough.
I really love the tyrian sickle skin, though. Wish they dropped in max gold form. Same with tribal axes. Someday, maybe.

The most expensive item I've customized was probably my r8 15/-5 stormbow awhile back. I'm sure it was one of the first 5 r8 15/-5 stormbows in the game.

I was about to buyout it and when I went to post in your sale thread cooly took the buyout which was I think somewhere around 140 ectos. I was uber annoyed so bought fow armor instead.

Here's my "real" collection of customized weapons. Nothing in comparrison to the dwarven or the crystallines but its cool. I'm a PVPer (converted PVEer) not a power trader. I usually go for functionality and looks over rarity.

Here's the good stuff that's customized on my ranger:



Here's for my warrior:

I'd say "my character's armor" but I don't think anyone would laugh. Rather, they'd flame me.

Well, the only thing I really customized my +5 energy Henge of Denravi sword I made a year back... I had no idea they'd rocket in price. And what was I going to use that HoD sword for?

My warrior/elementalist build that had meteor, fireball, and inferno.
