+40% axe better than HoD?

was wondering people's thoughts on this...is the extra +20% better in general than +5 energy? ...seems so to me, wondering how this will affect HoD sword prices...

Any chance on getting a location on this axe?

gotten from ascalon quest...scavengers of ascalon from Tydus...apply 2 +20% mods and poof +40% axe

already a thread about this but:

it's the quest reward axe from the "Scavengers In Old Ascalon" quest. you can add 2 axe grips of enchanting to it, and yes it indeed stacks. no idea how or if it will effect HoD sword prices, but I think this is way more beneficial than the sword.

*Deleted this post because it was embarassing*

I thought the whole idea of the HoD sword was that you got an unconditional 5 energy with the ability to put an enchanting pommel on it. :P (unless you used it for a runner or something) heh, but yeah, it's really build specific, so I suppose they can't be compared. but looking at an enchantment build (non-maintained), the axe takes the cake :P

so would this axe be worth ton of golds once A-Net nerf it?

The WHOLE idea of the HoD sword is +5 energy ALONG with +20% longer enchants on the pommel.
I think the final +44% longer enchants far outweights +5 energy for a 55hp monk. Now add Blessed Aura and then Arcane Echo Shield of Judgement

CHEATS!

Anyway.. It's not from the Old Scavanger in Ascalon quest, I got something totally different a 6-16 Piercing Axe with +25 Health and Dmg +15% (vs. Charr).

Anyone with the correct location?

That IS the axe Maxie. The +25 health acts like an 'invisible' fortitude grip (Charrslaying is the visible one), adding one axe grip of enchanting replaces the Charrslaying grip, adding another axe grip of enchanting replaces the 'invisible' +25 health one, giving you double enchanting mods.

Ummm.... yeah.... screenshots, anyone? I'd like to see pictures of each step in the process.

Process? You do the quest, its an axe of fortitude with a charr slaying attribute too (so 2x suffix). Add the first enchant mod and it overwrites the charr slaying (axe still says of fortitude). Add the second enchant and it overwrites fortitude.

*jaw drops*

how long do u think till' ANeT nerfs these bad boys?

1 day? 2 days? 3 days?

id say monday at the latest.

In case anyone here is unaware, capitalist is well-known on these boards. His screenie confirms it for me. Thanks, capitalist.

I have one too (only a 38%), so if anyone doubts the legitimacy still, feel free to message me ingame, and I'll show you mine (as long as I'm not busy...).

Not sure why I have one, but I know guildies of mine have 10+ each... I hope they stay how they are when they get nerfed, and don't revert to normal operation.

If these 2 mods are stacking on top of each other, this means you could get, for example, a 30up/1down Obsidian Flesh. Ouch.

and then there's spellbreaker. 21 seconds of absolutely no spell damage with 2 perfect mods.....

interesting.
