My question: Has anyone seen Max Damage Tribal Axes dropping in Hard Mode? If so, could you tell me where?

Suspected areas: all areas with < lvl 18 foes in Normal Mode.

Wiki information:
http://gw.gamewikis.org/wiki/Tribal_Axe

The note at the bottom does not seem to be valid, since I am having a hard time finding these axes. Also, Guru Auctions does not seem to sell any Tribal Axes, or rarely only non-max ones. Search on Guru does not show any threads, but that might be due to a broken search engine.

Tribal Signup list:
1. Guildmaster Cain - just any max dmg inscribable would be nice, preferably req <11, or 14^50

lennymon · May 10, 2007, 06:38 PM // 18:38

Yes, they drop in HM, whites and blues quite frequently in those areas. I've gotten only one gold so far though and it's req 13...

drupal · May 10, 2007, 06:38 PM // 18:38

They do drop with max damage. I have seen maxed ones all over Maguuma and had one drop in Fahranur in Elona.

Guildmaster Cain · May 10, 2007, 06:48 PM // 18:48

Hmm I suppose im just being unlucky. I guess any solofarm for those areas would work. The ones in Elona are inscribable I guess?

Are u kidding? oO

Can u add picture of that tribal axe pls?

I'm really interested (and other ppl on this forum I think...) to see a gold one....

Guildmaster Cain · May 10, 2007, 07:38 PM // 19:38

Somehow ppl claim to find them everywhere, but none finds its ways to the selling sections. Do they all merchant these?? A req 10-11 would still make 10k I think. Especially because of the fact, nobody is actually selling them.

RazorEdge · May 10, 2007, 07:52 PM // 19:52

I imagine the first max gold tribal axes would catch insane prices..

Sold!er · May 10, 2007, 08:07 PM // 20:07

listen to GuildWiki:

"Notes:

The introduction of hard mode has made max damage versions of this axe widely available."

"widely available"?? i've never seen a max dmg one yet... have u? i think wiki is talking shit....
if anyone has a max dmg version of this axe pls post a picture...
but i dont believe wiki Oo

shrouded^god · May 10, 2007, 08:24 PM // 20:24

Ive yet to seen too many max ones. And I sure as hell havent seen a gold one. So...Screeny or you're toying with us...

lennymon · May 10, 2007, 08:58 PM // 20:58

For me (and probably many others as well), 10k is very often not worth the effort to sell, if I'm not going to use something whether it gets merched or not depends solely on how little storage space I have. The one gold axe I got was merched, it was 14%while hexed (from minos outside of ice tooth cave) and had no redeeming characteristics. I realize collector types want these, but it's just not worth keeping the chaff. I'd MUCH rather keep/sell/GIVE FREE a blue max tribal axe from NF which would in fact be utilizable... I'll start keeping the ones I get if as it seems folks actually want them.
If you all choose to not believe me, its no skin off my back I'll still start keeping them, perhaps throw what I'd normally merch into the givaways. Enjoy.

edit: so like for the record, I don't go taking screenshots of something that I got and merched because it was junk 2 weeks ago, do you?

Guildmaster Cain · May 10, 2007, 09:21 PM // 21:21

Hey, no hard feelings. Anyway, probably all rare items are worthless, the market has been decreasing rapidly in the past months, starting with introduction of Treasure Chests.

I agree, 14% while hexed is worth salvage/merch. On the other hand, if there are no sellers at all, you could make a fast sell on auctions, even if it is blue.
10k for something hard to sell is not worth it, but 10k fast and easy aint that bad.

If you find anymore max blue or better Tribals, Ill be happy to take the load off your back ^^. And so are some other posters above I reckon.

lennymon · May 10, 2007, 09:28 PM // 21:28

Nope, I got no hard feelings about anything. Roger that, in fact I'll even try to pick up a few tonight and put em up here for whoever to claim. It's just always been my opinion that *any* req 13 that I can't immediately use is merch food, and any non perfect req 11 or 12 similarly. It's not really a question of money, it's a question of time. I wanna play for fun but if I have to spend more than an absolute bare minumim of time buying and selling, then it's not fun it's work ;P

mikez himself · May 10, 2007, 09:43 PM // 21:43

i had a max white req 13, i doubted it would go for anything so merched it> i got it off a mino outside anvil rock (HM ofc.)

Levi Garett · May 10, 2007, 09:45 PM // 21:45

Well skin off your back or not I call BS until I see a SS.

So you're saying you got a max dmg gold tribal axe and you merched it?

Even Q13 14% hexed it woulda raked in millions...

Please tell me you didn't merch this!!!!

lennymon · May 10, 2007, 09:48 PM // 21:48

there's no way a req 13 14%hexed ANYTHING is gonna be worth that, yes I merched it
fine then its bs, believe what you wanna.

sorry i did if folks wanted it though (which apparently i didnt because i didnt take a screeny)

shogun avatar · May 10, 2007, 10:03 PM // 22:03

Ok, the thing with tribal axes is that blue one with NOT MAX dmg (sth like 6-26 or alike) is being sold for 50k++ (saw on forum go for 95k)

Gold one with NO inhert mods is a 100k easy. at least
Before hard mode there were NO max dmg tribals at all!!
So if you actually merched gold MAX tribal axe, you are either made the worst move in this game EVER or you are full of it.

Anyhow i got white tribals in HM on shing-yea island, in front of the monastery. it was far from max, but it's just a hint. and another one (6-25 dmg) blue, no ihnert mods while farming colossal from a scale

~just my 2 cents

deluxe · May 11, 2007, 05:06 AM // 05:06

I dont believe gold max tribal axe's have dropped until someone shows a screenie.
noone would merchant it if he found one.

AscalonWarrior · May 11, 2007, 05:56 AM // 05:56

I've gotten many blues almost max damage (6-22 and so) from Minister Cho's Estate (Explorable). I'd like to see (have) a max gold one too

And other axe that I'd like to have is Serpent Axe. Tribal Axe look is nothing compared to what Serpent axe looks like.

Guildmaster Cain · May 11, 2007, 08:09 AM // 08:09

It would be interesting how the axes would sell on auctions. I cant believe nobody tried to sell them there. Only see a 6-15 dmg one... :S

Personally, I think Tribal looks better then Sephis, Dwarven, Zodiac. It is about at the same level as Chaos Axes to me. Which are the nicest skins.

Crystalline swords would be the same stuff I guess, I hate that skin personally. Doesnt look special at all. Dead Swords and Longs Swords are nice, especially because they are the BIGGEST swords out there (bigger then Fellblades, compare urself).

For selling, I almost exclusively use Auctions, since its set-up-and-go in 5-10 mins. If it doesnt sell itself in the time for the auction, I merch it. But if I had a max Tribal, I would definately try it on auctions first.

I am adding a signup-list for Tribals. If any farmers are willing to share his/her Tribal, it goes to the highest person on the list, that is online at the moment. Tell your ingame name if you want to be added to this gift-list. Donations are free to give to the person that trades with you. :P
