More questions about Worth of Items
i finished a Drake Run on my lunch Break from work(I know I know)
I picked up a Gold item Battle axe, cannot remember the name. I Salvaged the item and got a EBON AXE SHAFT(blue) Now here are the questions. 1. Should I Try to sell the Axe as is BEFORE using the Salvage kit. 2. What does an EBON AXE SHAFT Do? meaning, what are the qualities 3. How much do they sell for. 4. On Gold Drops, do most of you all salvage them or keep as is. Thanks for your time AE |

You would've gotten more for the axe itself. Ebon axe haft translates into earth damage -shocking, fiery, freezing, and ebon are all elemental upgrades. When you put these upgrades on a melee weapon or bow, that weapon or bow now deals the elemental damage that corresponds with the upgrade.

So than its usually a good idea to leave the Gold drops alone and not salvage them right?

I've done too much trading myself, and so will share my opinions...

Notes... any skills that required physical damage, such as Mark of Pain, will no longer work if the weapon has some type of elememental damage instead. The inherent properties of certain spell based attacks, like the armor penetration of Lightning and the armor ignoring of Holy Damage, do not translate to weapons that are upgraded with those types of damage. Different creatures have unique weaknesses and resistances to certain types of elemental damage, so there's no one type that gets everybody all the time. Some players will carry several weapons, each with a different type of damage modifier, that can be pulled out in certain situations... ie. fire damge will do better against Ice Golems than Fire Imps, etc. Quote:
Anybody who suggests 1k or more for something like that, which I have seen before, either is gouging the customer or has way too much time on their hands, or just an amazing amount of patience. Imho, 800g is the top of what you could ever expect to get, and then only on like Fri or Sat night prime time from a new lvl 10 or 12 who doesn't know any better. Quote:
The other time it's worth it to not salvage is if there is more than one mod on the item, like a prefix and a suffix (Sundering Great Axe of Fortitude), and you don't want to take a chance of losing one of the upgrades... let the buyer take the risk. However, the pricing should likely reflect this risk a bit. And then if it's just a normal, everyday, not-that-great item which just happens to be Gold as well, it's sometimes more effective to just sell it to the merchant and get the 100+ gold from them, or to use an expert kit on and possibly salvage some rare crafting materials from it. Selling anything other than the most desired and elite items and expecting to make a considerable profit from them can take an enormous amount of patience and requires using good timing as to when one choooses to sell. Hope that helps. Last edited by Akshara; Jul 01, 2005 at 07:10 PM // 19:10.. |

I do know that shocking bow strings can sell for at least 1k and around 2k if you're patient. Just to add in a little bit of extra info. |

I have no idea why everyone wants a shocking bowstring. Seems like fiery ones are worth more, since mark of rodgort works with that.
