Question on Tribal Axes and Prophecies Sickles
Marcus Ferret
Seeing that the existence of max-dmg for both is still in doubt, I was wondering where we draw the line between merchant and tradeable tribal axes and sickles.
Cheers in advance for sharing any information you may have on these items and good game to all.
Cheers Stu, I'll let this run for a while and see if anyone has anything to add. In the meantime, bedtime for me...

only one max tribal axe has been found so far I think... about the same for sickle... i'd say the only ones that are collectable are 6-26 and up...
Malice Black
yea someone posted a max sickle on here just after faction release i think
6-26 is collectable 6-27 prob get u couple hundred G's off someone
max might get ya a mill or so (debatable as most collectors have quit)

Where do the tribal axes and sickles drop? =x
Rain Knight
agreed with stu and MB...
dont forget Blue max/almost max Sickles and tribal axe
i'd say 500k+ and upwards for a max sickle/tribal axe
PS: i found a non-max tribal from life pods in the magumma jungles..

Cheers guys...
Well, so far we seem to have covered common white sickles and tribal axes and as stated by Stu and MB, anything above 6-26 for either will have a higher than merchant value.
However, as Rain has pointed out, both weapon types may be found as common blue drops as well. Therefore, does the 6-26 dmg still apply?
I've had a couple of common blue precious sickles and tribals in the past and I'm not saying that these are collectables. However, would a tribal axe or sickle with an inherent damage mod albeit with lower than 6-26 dmg have any value? For example, something like this:
Cheers once again, and Dj... I've had sickles and tribals drop from Charr country all the way to the Maguuma jungles. Sickles are more common around Kryta, however although there are fewer drops,the quality of the axes dropped in the Maguuma jungles is much higher.
PS. That axe is huge... It's almost as tall as my character, and she's at max height...

blues (with dmg mod) are of course rarer..but none would wanna invest in it if its no where near max though

and don't forget that you can easily make a white axe blue by adding some cheap mod like an elemental upgrade on it. 
of course, it still won't have the inherent damage mod if not id'ed with it.

i would settle for 6-24 or higher or 7-24 or higher.
the rumoured max dmg tribal was started by nef who i think traded a 6-27 sickle and a million gold or something for it. it may have been one of his look at me im so rich bs stunts though... if he returns i would love a ss or to see it ingame.
pre victos the only ones which sold well were 6-24 or more. inherent mods on a 6-24 would also be desirable. now i think that even though rare one which more than two or three of max wont sell that well
a friend had a sickle and tribal farming area in jungle where he found a 6-24 sickle back in the days when everyone wanted one. im off to farm there now to find a tribal lol

Nate Is God
me and guildies used to farm divinty coast and missions around there for them.. Mergoyles and life pods drop the sickles,sold a 6-25 damage +10% while enchanted for alot a while back

I have been told by a well respected member of these forums that 6-27 dmg ones did drop at the sanctum cay mission from executioners.
Just thought i would update you all on this.

the following build is good for farming exectioners:-
mending, dolyak, riposte, deadly riposte, heal sig, sprint and some other sword skill and a stance
i had some amazing build which could take on the massive mob with executioners in it but when the old guild site went down i lost it
ryanryanryan0310
i got a 6-20 sickle and a 6-18 tribal while farming for totems the other day.

O, and to keep this within topic and avoid myself getting banned...hehe Is it Tribal or Sickle that drops at SC?

Will probably have to do the area a couple of times - one to scout/map and test/tweak the build if necessary, and the second time to try the mission and bonus solo. Although seeing that I'll have to keep the vizier alive while he summons the ship, I'll probably have to do it a few times...

If we're going to keep the discussion alive, I guess I'll add some notes on my drops for the day:
Had two sickles (one blue and one white) drop in Tangle Root while I was mapping the area. One by a wind rider and the other by a jungle troll. Both were far from max, with the highest being a 6-19. I guess 6-20s may be found in the area, but I'll leave the confirmation to someone else as I'll be soloing around Riverside Province and Sanctum Cay in the next few days.
In the meantime, if anyone comes across a sickle or tribal which has a dmg of 6-25 and above, please feel free to use this thread for your PC as I believe the interest is shared by all players - including mods and PCGurus.
Thank you, good game and good drops to all.

Btw, I've noticed that players are confusing Canthan and Prophecies Sickles (e.g. http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...php?t=3062185), so here's a pic of the latter to help out those players who may have bought only Factions and missed out on the first chapter of GW:
ratchet
Is it possible to get anything for this one? And has there ever been a gold tribal axe for sale?
Marcus Ferret
Sorry ratchet, seems like only tribals or sickles with anything above 6-25 dmg has a value, although a 6-24 could possible fetch a few ks as well.
As for the second part of your question... Never heard of or seen a gold tribal or sickle... Matter of fact, never heard of or seen a purple either...

sickles drop in FoW too? @@
ratchet
Seems like the rarerst item ingame. What would the price of a max dmg 14/15% modded axe? talking about ^50 / stance / enchanted / hexed. This is rarer than the crystalline...
Rain Knight
you mean sickles? they dont exist justyet..=P
spun ducky
I have seen a tribal come out of the quest reward chests in FoW once as though like other keyless chest can drop anything just extremely rare for some thing like these and crystallines.
Rain Knight
was it max? tribal axe imean
Marcus Ferret
Well, I'm done for now... Soloed Twin Serpent's Lake, Tears of the Fallen, Stringray Strand as well as both Riverside Province and Sanctum Cay missions and the only thing that dropped was a Tribal Axe 5-14.
Not saying that sickles and tribals don't drop in these areas but I'm off to the desert to map and complete the missions. Will return someday with my Prophecies characters for another search.
Good luck to anyone still searching and post any tribals or sickles here if you feel they may have some value...

Tribals with no requirements do drop on Shing Jea Island but have not seen any elsewhere in Cantha... Might try a bit of solo around Kaineng later when I finish Tyria.
Farming sickles are plenty though...
O, and no tribals or sickles so far from the desert... Plenty of brutes though...
