I'd take the additional 1.3 - 2.6 damage, even if it is conditional, over that gold hammer every day of the week (and twice on Sundays). :dunno:
I prefer rarity over stats or skin any day. I would rather have something unique which noone else can ever own than a normal weapon with better stats. Coolyguy had a no neg hammer and some random dude had a shining maul neither have played in like years. Anyway not bad seeing both hammers cost me total of 180k.

I agree - I figured that was why the cost was so high...it's just that the items with rare skins normally have crazy prices when they have functionality that is pretty close to a maximum version of the same weapon.

By the way, I'm absolutely drooling over the other old quest item hammer...+15 health on a hammer warrior (over the best alternative) isn't anything to take lightly.

i save up for expensive things and buy them to use. i customize everything i get that i am going to use, except staves and wands.

req 9 15^50 gothic dual axe
req 10 15^50 mursaat hammer
req 10 15^50 mursaat hornbow
req 10 15^50 zodiac longbow
req 10 15^50 fellblade
req 12 15^50 firey and icy blade axes
etc..

none are perfect, but i see no point in req 8 weapons when im the one thats going to be using them and do not plan to sell...always have a minimum of 12 weapon mastery anway..almost always more.

HOW DO YOU AFFORD THOSE 15% ALWAYS DWARVENS AND CRYSTALINES???!!!!!

personally i value my no cond serpant over my crystalline, however, it cost me less than i would expect an 8 15.50crys to go for.
same goes for zraves axe, personally i value it higher, but i dont know if it would sell for more or not.
the no conds, are, imo priceless for the most part, but they dont always have the highest going rates. spils 8 15% axe only cost him 400 ecto, which is pretty ludicrous when you consider it is the ONLY 8 15% no cond axe. granted, the skin wasnt the most popular.
No neg would get my vote and cash. Because of rarity and axes>swords

@ the guy with green axe..lol!! a green more vauleable then a 15^50 crystalline..never happen.

Items I have customized and no longer use:

Gordac's Needle - recreated with NF skin
Villnar's Wand - recreated with NF skin
Deadly Cesta (19/9 death, req 10, paid 75k)

That's it. Blood, Curses, Death. I use the first two on heroes now.

The last one went from being an awesome high-end MM wand, to worthless, when Factions came out. Still, I prefer my 20/20 death wand now

lol, as fun as it was creating my own little sword of 1000 truths, I think I've had enough.
I really love the tyrian sickle skin, though. Wish they dropped in max gold form. Same with tribal axes. Someday, maybe.

The most expensive item I've customized was probably my r8 15/-5 stormbow awhile back. I'm sure it was one of the first 5 r8 15/-5 stormbows in the game.

I was about to buyout it and when I went to post in your sale thread cooly took the buyout which was I think somewhere around 140 ectos. I was uber annoyed so bought fow armor instead.

Here's my "real" collection of customized weapons. Nothing in comparrison to the dwarven or the crystallines but its cool. I'm a PVPer (converted PVEer) not a power trader. I usually go for functionality and looks over rarity.

Here's the good stuff that's customized on my ranger:



Here's for my warrior:

I'd say "my character's armor" but I don't think anyone would laugh. Rather, they'd flame me.

Well, the only thing I really customized my +5 energy Henge of Denravi sword I made a year back... I had no idea they'd rocket in price. And what was I going to use that HoD sword for?

My warrior/elementalist build that had meteor, fireball, and inferno.

Shocking Flamberge of Fortitude
Max Lightning damage (Req. 9)
15^50
Health +30
Customised for Marty Silverblade

Paid 45k for it and I'm happy (I use it with Conjure Lightning in Fort Aspenwood with 5 other attack skills including Dragon Slash and it rips people to bits )
