sickle only worth golds when its 6-28 (req 8, 9, 10 or even 11) any high requirement would killed the price. Also there are more rarer weapons like Serpent Axe, Sephis Axe, Chaos Axe, and Crystalline Sword out there to get. You can mod the sickle but if the damage isn't max and the requirement is too high, sell it to merchant.

It'll sell for a shitload. And that guy who said that serpent axes and dwarven axes dropped less than sickles.... well, he's wrong... A max damage one would be pretty much priceless....

no, it wont.
it might sell for above 200k-500k, but i feel sorry for anyone stupid enough to pay 1 mil for a non-max dmg weapon.

you are once again incorrect; sickles are NOWHERE NEAR rare, heck, just by QUESTING ive found over 2-3 dozen since ive started playing GW...how many serpant axes have i found? MAYBEE half a dozen, and only one was max dmg, and NONE were gold, and ive only found 3 dwarven axes, only one of which was max damage.
the sickle drop rate is one of the most common in the game, the price of sickles comes purely from higher-damage sickles...and the sole reason a max dmg sickle would be worth a lot is because none are known to exist. however, in this we have a conundrum...if a max damage sickle were even possible (i am under the firm impression they are not) they would most likely be high in number, since the droprate of sickles as a whole is so very very common. in essence a max damage sickle would be rare because none exist, but at the same time, if a max damage sickle were possible chances are so many would have flooded the market by now that their value would depreciate, hence making a max damage sickle worth next to nothing...in either scenario sickles remain relatively worthless in preportion to the other high-end axes...the same case exists for tribal axes.
(dwarvens being the rarest, followed by serpant)

i partly agree, i have seen many sickles drop, all be it very low dmg. one time i had 4 sickles drop in one mission (nolani), however, i have only even seen one trible axe drop, and never seen serpent axe or drarven axe drop. so it would seem that sickles, which drop in higher numbers r almost always low dmg (6-20 or lower), and dwarven and serpent axes, although drop less often than sickles r usually higher dmg

Continuing the theme of rare axes ... Do max dmg Tribal Axes exist? I was exploring around king's watch/pockmark flats all by my lonesome with my warrior (reall bored this morning) when a tribal axe dropped .. Low dmg of course but I had never seen one before. I equipped it and man that thing is huge! Would love to find a higher damage one, but I'm definitely keeping this one for now. Definitely the best looking axe imho

A sickle dropped too, also really low dmg. (Sickle is 5-12 and the Tribal is 4-7 and highly salvageable, heh)

6-27 Sickle sold for like 3 mil plus like 200 ecto..I don't remember when this was..HIGH DAMAGE ONES ARE RARE,Low damage ones are common.Serpents axes aren't as rare,I know a place to get them like crazy..And max damage ones drop there,there has yet to be a max sickle drop yet,therefore making them rarer.

er, we're talking about the overall droprate of the axe type...
serpants are FAR less common than sickles as a whole...the reason max damage sickles are rarer is just that they plain flat do not exist.
seeing as how a sickle can drop just about anywhere, im fairly certain if max damage sickles could drop, we'd have seen some by now.
and as for any numbnut paying 5 mil for a 6-27 sickle...well amen for ebay newbs...ive seen nearly half a dozen 6-27s in the past month alone. theres always the occasional chance you can find a moron...
