Sickles in Factions

I was exploring the Archipelagos in the Luxon area with a guild team. We fought a naga mob and suddenly two sickles dropped. One was 6-25 the other was 6-26. I did not find sickles any where else during the preview event, or at any other time. So this raises the question: In factions will there finally be a max damage sickle or a gold sickle? Maybe even tribal axes or other rare items will be more common. Your thoughts appreciated

The Factions Sickles are LITERAL Sickles, different skin wise from Thyian Sickles (which arent sickles at all, but just neat looking axes).

While it may be entirely possible that Tyrian Sickles will drop in Cantha, right now only Canthan variations are.

The closest in Cantha to a Tyrian Sickle is a Gothic Dual Axe.
