Celestial Weapons: pretty but lousy...

It seems a perfect Celestial Weapon is rather rare. Each in their little way is a bit off from max stats. You can get max damage but it'll likely be 14^50 rather than 15^50 or something like that. Than again people tend to pay a lot for cosmetic differences.

Statistically, you'll almost never ever see the difference between +14% and +15% anyway. I've always been content with anything 13% or higher. But yes, the skin is what sells. I mean, even a purple crystalline would go for a fortune. Personally, I'm in love with Flamberges, and about the only sword in Factions that I would like to collect are Oni blades.

What cracked me up the other day is that I got a purple Brute sword to drop and it ID'ed to a 14>50. I'll be damned if I'm letting THAT go!

Look for it in High End soon, and prepare to pay more than you'd like

And yes they are rare. I haven't seen hardly any in the sale forums so I'd assume this specific one will go for loads. We'll see!

Female Gladiators for the win, that Kurzick is so utterly ugly. Look at the helmet. Looks like the males got it better this time.

There really is no difference between +13-15%, if you believe it matters then you should rethink your build or question your skill.

Female Knights helm from Droknars matches the kurzick armor better than that batman looking thing (to me at least).

It took me forever to find a couple of decent celestial axes and i'm still trying to get a matching shield with the stats I want. It's just a matter of time, but I know exactly what you mean about the stats being "one-off" all the time. I've found lots of 15% vs hexed though. *sigh*

Chaos Axe and Fellblade
vs.
Celestial versions.

I'll admit, if the celestial max dmg versions are nigh impossible to find, I think my warrior will stick to the Tyrian standards.

Both of which, are STILL the shiznit to see.

Darn Chaos axe is like a lightsaber version of the axe, yeesh

can't go wrong with lightsaber-axes!

I'm totally hopping on the light sabre axes band wagon

or agreeeing rather.

Also oni blades are incredible

On topic celestial weapons with perfect mods are almost as rare as that Zodiac axe I've been hunting for.


EDITED- for the children! because they shouldn't see all my terirble typos.

I dont really see the point in thisthread... anyway, why do you people ALWAYS expect to get totally perfect items :?. you think getting say a Platinum blade with such stats is less hard? its EXACTLY the same deal if you ask me..

as for sword skins that I like, the phoenix blades, zodiac swords and normal crafter Katanas look the best imo ;P. ive gotten more compliments from people seing the katana than a zodiac axe

I hate celestial designs. They are soooooo ugly. Those items look like rainbow colored plastic weapons without damage.

I prefer phoenix blade and gemstone axe.
