(shrugs) I find there isn't really much choice for axes, due to the way the skills operate. The only useful ones (generally) are 10/10 sundering, Furious ideally, or Cruel, to lengthen the deep wound of eviserate. Zealous is not too bad in combat though. Barbed is a bit naff, as only desperation blow can make an axe do bleeding, and poison is a specialist. Heavy can be handy for axe twist, but even so....

Imo, sundering is basically the best of a bad job-even zealous is pretty specialised imo.

All my axes are Zealous. The only upgrade worth having, IMO, apart from +5 armor (or +7 vs physical, for farming).

sickles are still worth money, but anything less than 24 seems to be of no use..my friend got a purple 6-27 and sold it for 500k within 10 minutes. They still have value, it just depends on what dmg it is and who wants it :P But yes, any max dmg sickle no matter what the color, will sell for 1 mil minimum. If you were to find a gold max dmg sickle, you would have a good 5 mil in your posession. If that was 15^50.....20-30 easy :0

purple 6-27 is worth way more than 500k imo.
I would think your best chance of getting a gold one is from a Maguuma chest- since Sickles drop around there.

Funny, the "sickle" skin looks nothing like a sickle. It looks like a two-sided axe to me. An accurate sickle skin would be sweet.

BTW, think Grim Reaper for what a true sickle looks like.

isn't that a SCYTHE, a sickle is more of a battlepick kinda skin

Just Another Dude · Apr 09, 2006, 01:15 AM // 01:15

A sickle is whats on the russian flag, a scythe is what the "Grim Reaper" type weapon is

They've finally got it right in Factions though:

Still, IMO a Serpent Axe still looks better.
