Triple Evel

Aldarond

I bought mine for 60k :/
BTW, I wonder will it work with 2x +5 armor for tanking etc?

what impact will this have on mending?
Vhayr
If only I could be bothered to make another character to get it.
LiQuId StEeL
It won't effect mending at all, lol. Mending is a maintained enchantment, and only ends if you cancel it, or it gets stripped/rended. These axes pump up the time that time-restricted enchants (Healing Breeze, Spellbreaker, etc...).
EDIT: For anyone interested in getting these fast...
1. Make a presear W and kill the rogue bull (easy with Conjure Phantasm), and get the Me secondary.
2. Go to post sear as a lvl1-2 W/Me.
3. Complete the first few Warmaster Tydus quests (One runs you to Ambassador Zain, and another to Great Northern Wall if I remember correctly).
4. Accept Scavengers in Old Ascalon, and complete it with Henchies, just to make it a bt faster.
5. Stash Axe it storage, and restart process at atep 1.
Total estimated time: 30minutes start to finish (haven't times it yet)

These are awesome for solo monks as well. Probably big in tombs for protect monks.

I'm sure it would work, but I don't see the point.
this axe operates more like a focus than a weapon.

If only it were max, or close to it

so just after reading this post, who should appear before me in Euro Lions Arch, none other than Lord Mendes himself
Sorry for teasing you Lord Mendes with offers of a 20% enchanting axe grip at low prices, but I just couldn't resist. Maybe for your plan to have been successful you shouldn't have posted what you were going to do
Well Im glad to see that your not an opinionated person who makes judgemental and sweeping statements
I'm sure *all* servers have their fare-share of idiots, so don't be too hasty to write off an entire Virtual Continent because of a few bad apples. . .cya!
Aldarond
Interesting is when ANet will nerf that
Maxiemonster
People are already 'farming' it, starting a character over and over again to get it. Just make a character, get the memser secondary, do the acadamy, and start the quests you need to get the axe. Doing the same thing, I want about 10 stored 
Hockster
It's nice being on the front side of an exploit for a change.
eom
it's a mesmer quest?

Well I wonder *if* they will nerf it, and then what form the nerf will be, like will they just prevent anymore from being produced or maybe *fix* all the bugged items that exist?
Aldarond
Imo, they can't change already existing items, just may prevent the next to being made
eom
damnit --- I'm away from the game for a week.
somebody delete this thread.
somebody delete this thread.

theyll probably just make one with with 2 x 20 enchants on them for pvp only chars. that way people wont moan about nerfing/unfairness.
EDIT: There would be A LOT of complaining if they nerfed this but left HOD etc in game.

I can understand your opinion, but on what logic is this based?
If I may take the role of devil's advocate. .
A-Net have adjusted game items before by removing the option to generate any more. The HoD sword would be a good example of one such item, but the stats on the sword were as A-Net intended. On the other hand what is happening with the axe looks very much like a bug or exploit, so I believe it is possible that A-Net may adjust this item, or simply delete them.
It's well known that A-Net doesn't like solo monks, so a *bugged* item that offers huge benefits to a solo monk seems likely to be removed.
Valerius
i guess this axe has a name now... see quite a few players in Ascalon calling it the "SoA Axe" ( Scavengers In Old Ascalon -- the quest u do to get the axe )
Hockster
Seen it called the Tydus Axe too. They sure sell quick in Tombs.
eom
how much are they going for?
Maxiemonster
About 500g - 1K.
Valerius
that's if they don't know about it :P
i've seen them selling for 5K-10K atm... just wait till' their nerfed

Has anybody tried adding on a axe haft to this?
Hiryu
This takes the cake. I'm making 1,000,000,000,000,000 new characters and doing the Scavengers of Ascalon quest!

Sir Skullcrasher
Should i delete my PvP character and start a new PvE to stock up on this axe?
acidic artist
all this because the first person to make one couldnt keep their mouth shut. either 1) too dumb to be quiet or 2) has alot of axe enchant grips to sell. all it takes is 1 person to screw up an extraordinary thing then everyone HAS to copy and have one
Vilaptca
So...technically since so many people are exploiting a bug in the game, should we be seeing mass bans when they nerf this weapon, or will they say oops our mistake and let it slide?
super dooper
lol, good question.. but, seeing as how there have been 'overpowered' things before (not necessarily as bad.. or good, as this), and nothing happened. hmm.
reboot
i wonder if they will remove these or just discontinue them?>
acidic artist
i really dont care cuz i have one and 2 grips already. i just hate how no one can make their own builds or weapons or whatnot. everyone has to copy someone. it sickens me
