You know that's not what I meant :-P

It has no mods, and the only upgrade is a fiery hilt, which isn't rare.

Some "rares" are shit. Always been like that. Not all "rares" are actually going to be rare and desirable.

I have a Gold clean max Chaos axe Req 8.
not a single mod on it. The only reason why is rare is because
of it's color.

A while ago, there was a chance that IDing items left you with a gold or purple weapon that had no mods, and was simply worth more than usual at the merchant. However, a patch since then has changed this.

Rare is not just based on stats, it's based on stats + the level of the mob that dropped it.

and now you have at least one mod in it, which would be the fiery hilt here
the sad truth is that these "rares" are quiet common...

I got a gold poisonious max wingblade req 12 with no other mods off an UW chest. I was pissed. I tried to salvage it for the poisonous mod (apply poison on my W/R) and ended up getting ignots.
