Ok, I've been reading and talking to players on this. I'm still no closer to knowing whats up with these two axes. They are my favorite styles of axe, and yet no one has a definite answer as to where they drop. Some say chests in lower Shiverpeaks or just dwarves in that area. Another said the HoH chests drop them...someone else said desert hyrdas. Either these people dont want to give away a secret or they are guessing. Either way, I'd like to know, does anyone have any bit of information on this? I'd really appreciate it.

Around Bergen Hot Springs. Undead drop these. I got one from a guildee who found a golden 6-27 dmg in this area. I started to farm here, but so far only whites/blues not even close to max dmg. I went to the cursed land and black curtain as well to check whether the undead would drop sephis axes too. They did and the dmg on these axes was slightly better than the axes I found around Bergen. Still not max dmg though.....

Undead drop sephis axes.

Around 3 months ago while on my way to do the Galrath quest, i had a lovely max gold sundering sephis of defense drop from one of the phantoms that appear south of ToA.
If only i knew how rare they were, i wouldn't have sold it to the merchant.
Oh well..

If chapter two brings an appearance of the Orr army, expect them to be more ommon from then onwards.

I got a Serpent axe in post-ascalon once (but as you might have guessed)
it was really low damage and i never thought anything about it.

Yeah I remember a quest reward was a serpent axe, but I'm pretty sure it wasnt named serpent axe, it was battle or war axe I believe.

Nah it wasn't a quest reward it was a regular drop.

I was so surprised cause I had never seen a *serpent* axe but hear that they where rare. But this one was so low dmg, no one would of bought it for me so I just sold it to a merchant.

Ah ok cool...I've seen alot of sephis axes drop in the catacombs. That one warrior boss dropped 3 at once one time. Only serpent axe I've gotten was the quest reward one. Theres also a quest reward long sword with the crystalline look. It has armor while casting and something else.

Actually thats not too weird. A guy was getting those FoW worm parts in a shiverpeak chest. I forget the name, dark tusk or something. Anyway...apparently some shiverpeak chests have drop from all over the world. This was right after that added these locked chests though, they may have fixed it now as I havent seen it happen recently.

I have yet to see a fow/ or uw drop anywhere but in thoses places myself, i can definitly tell you hydras do not drop thoses type of axes, their more of ele wands, staves, and shields, and yeah sephis axes drop all the time in the 2 zones, from bergen to toa, i have yet to see a max dmg one tho.

Makes me think of monstrous claws.

Huh yeah I have (or had :b) a gold max dmg sephis axe but the stuff on it wasn't spectacular, I had no idea the rarity, and I had better configured axes and other drops I was using. I have to agree it looked nice/better than what I currently use :b heh

Like many have said the Undead drop them a lot around Bergen. The undead hordes quest is a great way to pick up a ton of them even after the nerf. I got 2 purple ones not max dmg though. Also the Sanctum Cay mission they drop frequently in there. Thats probably your best bet at finding a max dmg one other than from a chest. I recommend going solo, or with just one other friend though.

Im still huting for where sickles drop, nobody has ever seen a max dmg one and I want to be the first to sell one for 40Mil

*revive thread*

So from Hot Spring into Temple of Age or even Galroth's quest will get you sephis axe?...

And some peoples here said that chests (rarely) will drop sephis axe from shiverspeak.

I'll try these methods to get a sephis axe!

I got a purple max dmg serpent axe from the chest in that fort up where Rastigan runs to. Stats aren't that great and there is no 15^50, but I will add mods nevertheless. Should be pretty cool.

Nice sale... Sephis axes drop from undead, though Kryta is not the best place, since drops won't be max.

(And I'm selling this, feel free to PM offers )

Serpent axes can drop white from frozen chest/lost strongbox, purple from the Quest reward chests in UW and FoW, and in gold form from the HoH chest.

Sephis are dropped by most undeads. I got a few nonmax gold from undead hordes quest :/

They do drop gold serpents other than HoH...and yes I am sure, however, like gold crystallines and gold dwarven axes, don't hold your breathe, they are extremely rare, as to where do they drop? already been mentioned, the lost strongbox...every weapon in Tyria drops from there and rares are truly very rare from this chest....so Good Luck

I found two purple Serpents in chests from UW (Not Phantom Chests, but the normal chests you get when you complete a quest - Ice King and Wrathful Spirits in my case)

I believe Sno got one there too
