I Want to get a perfect Zealous Fellblade of Enchanting 15>50, but everyone is asking for between 30k-300k on the site auction, and in-game they're insanely hard to find someone selling one, and the people that are are ALSO asking for a psychotic amount of gold for them. How am I supposed to get one? From what I've heard from... everyone, anyone would be lucky to get 10k from me for one. (They actually told me that it's pretty much worthless).

just so you know, you can craft a 15^50 sword at some weaponsmith or get one from a collector. ya its not as pretty but will do the job.

then use the upgrades you will have to buy on it

you can always take your 10k, buy obsidian keys, and get the fellblade yourself.

fellblades are VERY overpriced. With all the factions swords out, Fellblades should be nil compared to most Factions skins. I get atleast one decent fellblade drop every couple of days while troll farming, so i dunno why you'd wanna go out with obsidian keys into Fissure for somethign damn common in Southern Shiverpeaks.

That doesn't make sense. I got a 13%^50 req 10 fellblade a while back and it only cost me 5k. Inflation what a stupid concept.

It's a luxury item. You're not "screwed", you just don't have the money to essentially waste on such a weapon.

I Mean I'm screwed if I want one.
What's the best place to farm for max damage gold Fellblades?
And anyone that would pay 100k + Ectos for a Fellblade needs to be pimp slapped -_- that's the same price as a mini Kuunavang or piece of Obsidian armor.
-Edit- There aren't any crafters that make fellblades, let alone max damage ones, are there?

1) save up gold and when you find a good deal get it.
2) 10k !!! not to sould rude/mean but that's a total rip off. a zealous mod a lone is close to 10k.
3) i'll understand and apoligze if your an adult w/ a full time job,kids,life, etc.. and just like to own on. if your not go back and read #1

so when setting attributes in PVP or PvE you set swordsmanship to 7 for that 1 mil sword you (or anyone) paid for? and the rest in stats in str or tatc etc.....

i dont' do alot of PVP but in my PvE my swordsmanship is at 12 or maxed out... dont' care about req. i find bosting up it to max helps do more damage and not some 100k++ req 8 sword at 8 swordsmanship.

^ITs the +5 armor. if im not wrong enchanting mode is much more expensive because of all the 55 monks

and ya most of the time your swordsmanship is maxed out, but low req weapons give you more flexiblity. so you can have a lond stance (tactics) AND do decent damage with your sword. i know alot of builds where you cant affrord to bring your main weapon to 10, you need pts in other places. and its for all melee classes. like Solo FOW with ranger. you cant afford to put 10 in marksmanship, but you NEED the damage, so here you go, req 9 or 8 bows. its like an investmant.

but if you never change your buld to something diffrent then damage dealing ONLY, and 1 or 2 sdtances/enchantments then ya go for 13 req

I Guess I'll just save up 30k and buy one, that shouldn't be real hard to earn.
I don't care if most people try selling those for 50k+, it's not like anyone actually buys those from them.
-Edit- Wait, how much would a perfect Zealous Fellblade of Enchanting with +15% while enchanted cost?

Go for a 14>50 one, the price will be a lot less and the 1% is not even noticable or worth worrying about.

TBH I'd rather have a cheap 13 or 14>50 desired skin and customise it for the extra 20% than pay 100k+ecto for 15>50 then be frightened to customise because of the value (not withstanding that extra 1% is bugger all anyway - so just throwing money away).

I wanted an Oni blade but no way was I paying the stupid amounts I was quoted even for a 14>50 gold one, so I bought a purple 14>50 one for 5k, stuck my choice of mods on and customised it - nice cheap sword with the look I like.

Cool, thanks Pompey. I Thought that if I added mods to a gold item (even if it had no mods) that it would remove the 15>50 type effect. So, it only ruins the weapon if it's going over another mod it started with? Or is it just with green items that you can't re-mod them?

The damage mod is inherent and cannot be altered or removed by upgrades. You can only change the prefix (Hilt eg. Fiery, Zealous etc) and suffix mods (Pommel eg. Enchanting, Fortitude).

Get a high Req Fellablade and save some money

I'm telling ya, Collectors are your best friends in this game.

I have made around 2000k and never went farming once because I only use Collector's weapons (not the expensive 100k + *Ectos perfect crap). Though I can't resist 15k armor, gota treat myself once in a while.

I don't see why lower req weps are worth so much more than higher req. The weapons still won't do full dmg unless you have 12. That why i never really cared about req. Dude, if your money is limited, don't get a perfect fellblade. A crapper skin wep with 1%/1hp under perfect will drastically lower the price.

Maybe because lower req weapons are rarer than high req counterparts and closer to perfection. It's not only a matter of functionality, price raises for quality skins, desiderable mods and req. Of course if you get a 15-21 14>50 req 12 fellblade it's almost like getting a 15-22 15>50 req 8 one apart from critical hits (granted you have 12 swordmanship), but you cannot really be very proud of having the first one. Why? Because it's not perfect... more or less like having a Ferrari and asking for an electrical engine so you won't spend much for gas
Anyway, strenght sucks so you often want at least 12 in swordmanship

Items are never overpriced, never ever. Can't afford it? Don't buy it, don't desire it, don't moan, cry, whine. It's that easy. I never buy low-req stuff since I am running weapon mastery 16 99% of the time, also in PVE.

This is just the thing - I would settle for 13>50 or 14>50 or something, 'tis virtually the same damage. But I never see anyone selling these. Do people just merchant them thinking no one would buy them because they're not "perfect" ?

I would never merch a 13-14>50 rare skin weapon. I do merchant the others because even if I did find a buyer (after a LOT of spamming) I couldnt get more than 1-2k, which doesnt make up for the time spent.

I Would go for that, but my character isn't a warrior primary, so I can't use anything above 12.
I Won a clean 15% while enchanted fellblade on the auction (I think) but I have no idea how to contact the person or trade with them for it. The item has disappeared from the auction site because it's over, and there aren't any account options or PMs or anything. How am I supposed to get the item?

on the auction My Control Panel, click on Buying Tab and click on Auctions I've Won, if you've won the auction you'll see it listed there, click on it and then click Send Seller A Message

I Don't see the option for that. All I can do is "Home" "Sell an Item" "Help". I Don't even see an option to log in.
The only columns are "Help Column" "News" and "Categories".

the log in option is on the right hand side of the screen, if however it says your auction username then it should have the My Control Panel option just under your username

It isn't there. I cheated the system earlier to log in by going to "SELL AN ITEM" and logging in from there. But when I try doing that again it says I'm still logged in, but there's nothing on any of the auction pages saying who I'm logged in as, or that I'm logged in at all. So no "My Controls" either...
I'll never use that thing again. I'll just look for one in-game if I can't get this to work.

Thanks for the help. It still doesn't work though... I'm just going to have to buy one in-game. It's not like a negative on the auction account matters, if I can't even use it.

I Can't email an admin because my computer's a piece of crap (it has to use an outside program to email them, and the program doesn't work).
So if anyone that reads this has a clean max damage fellblade with a requirement of 12 or less and +15% damage while enchanted, I'll buy it from you. I Tried buying one in-game, but people are idiots. The only person selling something close to what I wanted was a max damage fellblade with req. 11 and 15>50, no mods. They wanted 50k for it -_-
