Bizarre inscription

OK, I thought I understood this whole inscription business. Prophecies weapons can have an inherent inscription, Nightfall and EotN weapons can have a replaceable one, etc. Then I wound up with an axe from a Darkstone Chest whose inscription gives +15% damage/-1 health regeneration. Is it normal for weapons to drop with inherent inscriptions that don't match anything you can put in an inscription slot?

Screenshot please and Thank you.

not really normal...it does happen though...some of those sell for a good bit might want to get a pc on it

Yes, it's sorta normal. There's also a +15/-1 energy for weapons. And all the +10 AL vs creature types for shields.

FYI, the vamp weapons (like yours) can go for a bit of cash to PvP players. It'd be a good idea to get it pricechecked, since it may be worth some plat.

I thought double vamp weapons to 'suicide' before timer are standard in higher end pvp. Or I am wrong?

And yes the existence of 15/-1HP is nothing new under the sun. Although they seem to be rare.

Here's a screenshot. Thanks for all the replies so far.

totally normal....you're just new

It's not a inscription

It's a base damage mod. You can't take it out from the axe so is not that rare. There are a lot of 15/-1 weapons with different skin old school.

Oh, so that's what old school means. Took me long enough to figure that one out.

I suppose I'll try to get a price check, and/or merch it since I'm not exactly in the unusual items trade. Thank you all for the advice and perspective!

i'd pay a decent chunk of change for that battlepick and i'm sure others would too. double vamps are just 15% unconditional damage, and are fairly rare.

Took some people's advice and brought it over to Ventari's.

right it is inherent to the weapon. Go and get a Vampiric Axe mod and slap that baby on there and sell it as a double modded Vamp axe.

That is one nice drop
