Sickles arent all that Rare just in any form. (EDIT: to give an example...they drop like Candy in the jungle regions)

Whats rare (nonexistent?) is a Good Dmg Sickle.

I think 6-24ish is the highest anyway has seen, and only white/blue/purple ones, no gold.

Ones in that higher range are 100k+, if you ever find one thats gold/max dmg you'd be a multi-millionaire in about 2 minutes.

Ones that are just average (under that range i gave) are...merchant food.

People don't seem to want them, though. I tried selling a 6-24 sickle in LA1 yesterday, and no-one even gave me any dirty offers.
I can understand it too - yeah, it's rare, yeah, it looks cool, but it's also not as good as a cheaper axe.

Highest dmg sickle that was ever found as far as i know is a 6-27. There are a few perfect sephis axes around so they're not that special anymore.

Two words: Victo's Axe.

It's a sickle deseign, it's 15^50, it's 10/10 sundering, it's +30hp. When you can get that for 20-25k, the demand for a non max damage sickle kinda drops.

As with any higher end just for the skin thing...You might have to spam a week to sell it, but it'd sell.

Anyone with enough cash for a good Sickle is going to know how crap Sundering is.

(shrugs) I find there isn't really much choice for axes, due to the way the skills operate. The only useful ones (generally) are 10/10 sundering, Furious ideally, or Cruel, to lengthen the deep wound of eviserate. Zealous is not too bad in combat though. Barbed is a bit naff, as only desperation blow can make an axe do bleeding, and poison is a specialist. Heavy can be handy for axe twist, but even so....

Imo, sundering is basically the best of a bad job-even zealous is pretty specialised imo.

All my axes are Zealous. The only upgrade worth having, IMO, apart from +5 armor (or +7 vs physical, for farming).

sickles are still worth money, but anything less than 24 seems to be of no use..my friend got a purple 6-27 and sold it for 500k within 10 minutes. They still have value, it just depends on what dmg it is and who wants it :P But yes, any max dmg sickle no matter what the color, will sell for 1 mil minimum. If you were to find a gold max dmg sickle, you would have a good 5 mil in your posession. If that was 15^50.....20-30 easy :0

purple 6-27 is worth way more than 500k imo.
I would think your best chance of getting a gold one is from a Maguuma chest- since Sickles drop around there.

Funny, the "sickle" skin looks nothing like a sickle. It looks like a two-sided axe to me. An accurate sickle skin would be sweet.

BTW, think Grim Reaper for what a true sickle looks like.

Still, IMO a Serpent Axe still looks better.
