Drago's Flat Bow
??? Piercing damage: 15-28 (req. 9 Marksmanship)
??? Damage +15% (while Health is above 50%)
??? Armor penetration +10% (Chance: 10%)

Bad economy

Thats the difference.

The only diff is in the requirements - one is reg 8 and the other is reg 9.

People pay more for lower req weapons. Some reason's are misconceptions, other reason is that they want to run a certain build and the lower the req on a weapon the lower they need to run that attribute so they can get max damage from it and use their attribute point's elsewhere.

Also you need to consider the fact you can't change the mods on a green weapon. Thus if you ever want to change the mods you need to buy a normal weapon.

Dead bows have a slower firing rate and shorter range, but much faster flight speed, than flatbows, but I imagine the difference is mostly 'cuz of the appearance or something.

Oh btw, the gold one (the non green one) would be modable. Being able to change the mods is pretty important.

The Dead bow also had to have dropped/been modded with those perfect mods. 9 times out of 10 it isn't the case meaning the seller shelled out cash for the mods too.

Wrong. Green items are perfectly capable of being customized, else my Warrior would not be running around with Victo's Blade. What you cannot do is dye, mod, or salvage greens. You can, however, identify them so they sell for 42 gold at the merchant rather than 35 gold.

perhaps a dead bow is a rarer skin. rarity makes the price go up.

I think also the difference is taht the green bow is easier to get than a perfect dead bow (or whatever other bow)

The dead bow is gold and the mods on it whether they were added to it or it was found that way are perfect.

The green bow on the other hand is perfect and it will stay like this and you cannot do anything else to it other than customize it for your characters.

So I think thats why gold items sell for more since if it was maxed with no perfect mods, it can be moded to be perfect.

You always have that option to change it around.
