I know that Tyria-skinned/dropped sickles (victo's axe skin), tribal axes and sephis that are max do not exist because the areas in which they drop are low-level areas such as Ascalon and Kryta and near max ones are worth alot of money. Since hard mode was released, Ive found alot of white near-max damage tyrian sickles, tribal axes and a few sephis axes.

Will there be gold, well-modded Sickles, Tribal Axes and Sephis Axes (sephis' that drop in tyria) now be available?!

Was wondering about the tribal axes myself. Can you get a max one now in hard mode?

Grabbed myself a 6-26 tribal axe in Minister Cho's Estate mission. Figuring that max ones could indeed drop now I merched it.

Was just about to edit my post after seeing a blue max in the ventari forum.

Thanks for the quick reply Racthoh, much appreciated.

Sephis is chestrunnable

but the Crude Axe....

Max level crude axes were only attainable during the Factions events that placed max level monsters in the Shing Jea monastery area.

Tribal 6-26 inscribable blue on elona starter island. So I have hope that my favorite sacred staff will be obtainable in max form.

Sephis were uncommon, nothing more. Desolation farming/Hell's Precipice running ftw.
Time to start looking for a good sickle or three.

`Yikes new generation of rare weapons then.

Perfect Tribal Axes are gonna be worth ALOT.

perfect Sephis Axe won't go lower than 100K I say. The Tyrian versions could still sell for lotsa cash because they are 15^50 un-inscripted.

are you kidding?

the days of sephis above 100k are over. been seeing ppl selling them for 70-90k all day. They must be dropping out of chests like gangbusters. I give it a month before they are no better than a longsword.


LOL to all you rare collectors

Perfect un-inscribable Long Swords sell for more than 100K as well.

Inscribable Sephis Axes are worth nothing, but the collector pays alot for the Tyrian 15^50 req 7 version of the Sephis Axe.

Just consider amount people going for vanquisher title. Pretty much everyone will at least TRY to vanquish old ascalon/plains of whatever/that place outside shin jea.

Guess only people who have stuff like 15%/uncondtional or old noninscribable crystalines can be considered "owners of rare stuff".

Well minus the hunderds of thousands of farmers flooding the game with such items, not many req 7 15^50 tribal axes, sephis axes etc. will come into the game.

I bought a req 9 15^50 Tyrian for 45k. Granted, it wasn't 20/20 or +30...I'll take Zealous/of Defense over those any day of the week.

Only thing about Crude Axes is that they are ugly as hell...just a junky-looking version of a Gothic Dual Axe.

I would like to get my hands on a max 15^50 or inscribable Tribal Axe though =D

Perfect un-inscribable Long Swords sell for more than 100k? I somewhat doubt that. And, no, inscribably sephis axes sell for a lot; not more than an un-inscribable, but a gold req 9 inscribable is still worth quite a bit.

I have been farming them for almost a month now. They drop about once every 1-3 days. I have found mostly whites and 3 non-max inscribable blues, including a 6-27 q9 blue.

None of the 15+ Tribal Axes I found were max damage.. However, it IS possible to get max blue inscribable weapons as drops (I have received other weapons like that), so it IS possible to at least get a max blue inscribable Tribal Axe. It is just really rare to get max blues; the loot scaling for non-rare items does not help at all.

I sold a req 9 15^50 10% furious +30 for 100k +20 ectos if it can help you

edit : those are getting more and more common I think (I have another req 13 15^50) since HM and should drop in price, so sell fast
[/offtopic]

I think sickle and tribal axe don't drop as gold or purple, otherwise, it is highly likely that people would have dropped some since HM.
It's kind of like some skins (dead sword, colossal scimitar, celestial skins and so on) that only drop as gold
The best we could get maybe is a max damage inscribable version ...
