How exactly is this "rare?"

Murder In China · Mar 31, 2006, 02:22 AM // 02:22

Gold.

agentnull · Mar 31, 2006, 02:24 AM // 02:24

You know that's not what I meant :-P

It has no mods, and the only upgrade is a fiery hilt, which isn't rare.

Some "rares" are shit. Always been like that. Not all "rares" are actually going to be rare and desirable.

Tsunami Rain · Mar 31, 2006, 02:31 AM // 02:31

its max damage req 11 AND it has a mod on it. Thats a low quality rare. Drops like that happen.

Spiteful Soul · Mar 31, 2006, 02:48 AM // 02:48

I have a Gold clean max Chaos axe Req 8.
not a single mod on it. The only reason why is rare is because
of it's color.

A while ago, there was a chance that IDing items left you with a gold or purple weapon that had no mods, and was simply worth more than usual at the merchant. However, a patch since then has changed this.

Rare is not just based on stats, it's based on stats + the level of the mob that dropped it.

and now you have at least one mod in it, which would be the fiery hilt here

the sad truth is that these "rares" are quiet common...

25g to the trader. The merchant gives more

Rajamic · Apr 02, 2006, 08:45 PM // 20:45

I used to have an offhand focus that was gold. It was just +9 energy (req 4 Domination).

Sereng Amaranth · Apr 02, 2006, 08:57 PM // 20:57

I got a Longbow of Shelter the other day. It was 15-28 and +5 AR. No bonus at all, but it was req. 8.
