Thank you, Santa ... (Speciou5 actually pointed it out

) ...

I should probably explain why I am so excited ... these axes were originally +15% while enchanted. The change must have taken place more recently, though Guildwiki has already been updated. Anyway, I missed it, and a search hasn't yielded any further posts regarding this change either.

Nice! That should put a dent in the trading of these weapons. Now the selling and buying of mods will be huge!

If you're not someone who'd pay 2 Million more just for a skin, like me, you can get all Warrior weapons at that lovely man. I got a 15>50 Hammer, Sword and Axe from him, and I'm very happy with 'em!

collectors all the way, i got about 5 stance axes from the trader in the desert. I may have to purchase one of these for the hell of it.

BTW tanzits cleaver cant be modded, which would in turn make this axe probably better

yeah but with this you could build a perfect axe, i.e (3/-1, +30)

The vampiric is probably the best addition to damage for a weapon, and that health +30 can give you a good margin of health along with it, but I might use a 20% Axe Mastery instead, to increase criticals. I'm a big fan of 'spike' damage, which is why I'm a fan of axes in the first place.

I agree; if you don't care too much for the skin, then this is the guy you should meet. Although I wouldn't mind a perfect Chaos or other good looking skin, I guess I'll have to just dye these.

Also, can you replace the mod on the Tanzit's Cleaver? I'm not sure you can though I never tried.

I can gurantee that the axe was like this before Christmas 2005.
The reason I remember is that a friend of mine got it for ettin hunting and told me about it.
I just did not like the skin too much and stayed with my Summit axe with 13>50 that I got for 5k

Very nice! I was really disappointed a while back when looking for a 15^50 so that I could make a fiery and ice version and didn't care about the skin. Found a couple on auction for around that price, but now I have some more options.

Thanks!

Boxterduke is correct. These axes were changed with the AoE update back in November. I have some build notes dated Nov 21 that specifically reference the Droknars crafter axe as being 15 > 50.

On another note, I like this crafter for another reason: his sell tab lets me dump unwanted items fast without having to run back to the other vendors when warping into town.

3/-1 is still a great mod, leave that on there!

Man, it seems only a week ago it was +15 when enchanted, mind you, that was about the time i was trying to complete hells for the 2nd time, so thats decades ago
