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...

agreed with stu and MB...

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...

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.

Did that with a white 6-20+ Sickle... Added a +5 armor and gave it away to a lvl 20 Warrior in Ascalon who was looking to buy one... One of you guys by any chance...

Hmmm... Well, there's a couple of people looking for one of these on WTB - although I believe Herb is looking for something with a higher dmg mod so I doubt he'll be interested in this.

O well, anyone else has anything to add?

i would gladly pay 1 million gold for a max dmg tribal. i would customize it for the 20% extra dmg

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

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.

I spent hours thinking the only area high dmg ones dropped was the jungle and got nothing lol. Ill get farming sanctum when i have time. Although I was told the 6-27 only dropped after alot of farming

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 my current build needs tweaking for the large enemy mobs but works fine on small ones.

Hmmm, I'm an axe wielder... But if the executioners at SC are the same level as the ones in the Reversing the Skales quest, I think my current axe build should work. 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...

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

Hmm, not a difficult area as I don't think there are many foes in SC with Shatter Enchantment... Might just give it a few runs when I get there. Cheers Herb, and good game/PCing to you...

Btw, aren't you already rich Rain? Just donate it to me as no one plays with common blue axes these days...
hahas not real of course....and no im not rich...im just an average player...

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.

Just read the above statement on big papi's stickied guide. Can anyone else please confirm that sickles drop in FoW as well?

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:

Is it possible to get anything for this one? And has there ever been a gold tribal axe for sale?

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...

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...

If anyone is interested in the axe, please leave a PM with/without an offer and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. If numerous players show interest in the axe, then an auction will be held on sell forum.
