Hey all.

I got my destroyer axe. Went to the HoM to put it on display. It gives me the line about "blah blah will customize the weapon." Ok fine. I don't plan on selling it. Anyway, I click accept and what do I see?

Customized, but WITHOUT the 20% damage. I went to a weaponsmith and sure enough, I can't customize it for the damage. Amazing. Thanks a lot, I wasted a lot of time and effort getting this only to have a completely worthless item. Excellent job.

DOH. u try wildblowing test dummies to see if its just missing from the description?

wacka · Sep 02, 2007, 10:44 PM // 22:44

u can still try to salvage out the mods i guess

dun have GWEN yet, so this is as far as my knowledge goes

Maria The Princess · Sep 02, 2007, 10:49 PM // 22:49

ok.... and what if the weapon is alredy custumised in the past (by weaponsmith with the 20% damage) can you still put it there and will it overwrite the old custumisation (remove the 20%)?

just making sure, dont wantto loose the 20% on my lovely mursaat bow

Yep. -72 with a normal customized axe and -60 with this. GG me. Let this be a lesson for everyone.

Wow, that totally sucks.

Bolded for emphasis!: Do not put weapons into the Hall of Monuments as you will not receive the customized (+20% damage) bonus!!!

u CAN`T add mursttat bow
only destoyer sh*ts go there, as they are "the greates", 5 times cheaper then most better items ...

Thankfully you can use the perfect salvage kit to get those mods off.....

Dzan · Sep 02, 2007, 10:56 PM // 22:56

Yeah except the mods cost 20k and the axe itself costs 100K+

unknown1 · Sep 02, 2007, 10:57 PM // 22:57

its about the axe more then the mods though lol isnt it. the gems cost more then the mods

also what is considered highend? (except the destroyer weapons)

Kinn · Sep 02, 2007, 10:58 PM // 22:58

Common sense says that I'm pretty sure this is an oversight and will be fixed in an update.

Dzan · Sep 02, 2007, 11:00 PM // 23:00

It would make my day if in the next update you see "All customized weapons gain the 20% damage bonus even if not customized at a weaponsmith" or something like that. Hopefully Anet pays attention, I'm sure I'm not the only one.

pingu666 · Sep 02, 2007, 11:05 PM // 23:05

yeah just leave it and hope they fix it. vamp/zealous is better for axe anyways

Longasc · Sep 02, 2007, 11:08 PM // 23:08

This... sucks!

Keep it and write to support. They will fix this.

Wait for some days and vent your anger at the next noob that crosses your path in the mean time.

KamikazeChicken · Sep 02, 2007, 11:10 PM // 23:10

Have you tried taking it to a weaponsmith to customize it properly?

Did you even read the OP?

All that work just to be screwed over. The mods won't even come up to 25k and the axe itself is 100k+.

For those that don't know, the 20%+dmg on a customized weapon is similar to sundering on every hit.

Sasuke The Betrayer · Sep 02, 2007, 11:37 PM // 23:37

Would everyone stay calm, god damn. It was something they overlooked, they can fix it, and you don't have to overreact. The HoM isn't perfect anyways, considering you can ONLY put in Destroyer weapons.

Actually better since it is 20% of 28 damage.

BUT this just suggests there are a ton of bugs waiting to be fixed.

brosse · Sep 03, 2007, 12:13 AM // 00:13

Yep, you're not the only one, just came to the same shocking conclusion

Well I'm pretty sure they'll fix it. Everyone start bugging em about it.
