Bumping - Thanks

1. Maybe 30-40k or more with the right buyer. I like spatha's and that one is nice with perfect +15% enchanted. Defense mod is perfect (worth 5k+ alone) and Barbed is a good hilt for swords. That requirement may drop the price significantly, but a swordsman with less than 12 swords is a idiot anyways.

2. 1-2k if that. It's not max dmg, the dmg mod is 11%(15% is max), and -5 energy is a big turn off. And to top it off it has a very high requirement of 12.

3. I'd say 15k with that low 7 str requirement. But that might be pushing it. Everybody thinks Defenders are ugly-which they are.

4. I shop sell any elemental mods that aren't perfect (+7 vs ele).

5. 2-2.5k is a fair price for this mod.

Good luck

You can't generalize what you do as the best practice. If that were true, then there would be no difference in price between same weapons of req 7/8 and req 12. But there is a huge difference in price between those two types of weapons.
The difference in skill points between 8 and 12 req is 60 (11+13+16+20). And even if considering a minor rune, the difference is 49 skill points (9+11+13+16). This allows flexibility of build, especially for those who aren't warrior primaries but want to use a sword for the controlled condition infliction.
In exchange for dealing 2-3 fewer damage a hit, you could have a respectable tactics as well as strength and a high secondary job attribute to keep you alive as the tank.

And finally, this isn't much of a concern anymore, but lower req means a new character can use the sword earlier. Imagine, with a swordmanship rune, that a level 6 (5 stat gains per level early on) can use a req 7 max damage sword and deal the full listed damage. You could go about soloing the first few missions until Yak's bend.
