Bids are really high on it. I looked at the skin, and I have to say, why are they so outrageously high?

yeah its been like that for a while, i guess just because it is rare from prophecies, but honestly, thats my only assumption

The skin itself is a common skin, but the name swamp club is what is so rare. There isn't as many of those as there are crystallines, dwarven axes, tribal axes etc.

Plus unlike the other rare skins (where everyone knows to keep them whenever they drop) Noone would probably hold on to a common skinned weapon like that.

They used to drop from the chests that didn't require a key but the chests were removed so I doubt these hammers will ever drop with that name.

Yep the "Swamp club" is a very rare item to find. Even though the skin is just a plain one :/

i got a white non max one yesterday so they still drop

fujin · Dec 30, 2007, 06:17 AM // 06:17

It's a rare item (not the skin, just the name) with a low requirement.

Yep, people likes rare thing, even the skin is a crap one.

People get pissy about the skins, and want "ub3r p4wn4g3" swamp clubs with less-than-decent mods. It's like the Crystalline Sword craze.
