Default Zealous
So I'm in Droknars and I'm trying to buy a zealous sword hilt, I get 2 offers and they are both selling one for 10k. Wtf? Since when did something like this, cost this much? Purple items have zealous for christ sake, I could buy one of those and salvage it for about 500 gold.

Unless I totally missed out on a rise in prices, I think I'll be farming for one unless I get a decent seller.

And today seems the day for WoW accounts on the market, I see about 3 people selling one.

BLUE has zealous, its one of the lowest mods avialable.

They were just hoping you were a nub so you could filter money form you.

RELATED: I was buying Wroth's Rod and Icon set and this guy asked 15k for them. I just said no thank you, turned around, and bought them seperately for ~1k each.

People are charging more for them because more and more people are realising that its a good mod. much better than sundering...

How did you arrive at those numbers?
What would work better in comparison?
*some* extra damage some of the time is better than no extra damage all of the time, right?

I'm basically looking for someone to explain, in detail, and show their work...

I've read the entry for Sundering on guildwiki, and even looked at the external link to someone's spreadsheet, but while I can get the general gist, it's still not perfectly transparent on the "why" question.

I got 4 offers from Chinese Farmers in LA AD1 this morning to buy their Zealous Axe Hafts for 10k. Then it went down to 5k, at which point I bought one out of desperation.

Zealous is absolutely brilliant yet underappreciated, i'd rank it best hilt/haft (but not for hammers). Ho well, let people pay thousands of gold on addtional damage mods...

@the op, i've had a hard time finding such a mod online, here's my advice if you're not in a hurry : check the auction i bought one for 600g there.

Well, I got my zealous sword mod but I need an axe mod now.. here come the 5k-12k offers! Gotta love it.

If anyone has an axe haft, my IGN is Mr Indomitable. Thanks though MMS, if you have one of these let me know. I'm tired of dealing with these idiots.

And yes, I love zealous.. it's great. Sundering really is horrible, I dislike it. I don't see how they go for as much as they do personally. I love vampiric also..
