My beast buddy says this Axe is 5Mil. Even though I havent checked I have no reason not to dis-believe him. Anyways 5Mil is crazy, good thing I planed ahead and got this puppy for 200k when I was lvl 48. Ya that planing was way ahead, but I was leveling quick when I was in a BST trio (to bad the other 2 arent on much anymore). This was a rare find when I got it and the trend for price increase was starting to show from 50-200k when i got it. I think Imma sell it past 60 to help pay for a Hauby. Sometimes I feel like I hit the Jackpot, but Hauby is up to 12Mil and the D. Ingots are 12Mil, so I expect them to be just out of reach ; ;
The "May" (gil sellers with May in there Name) gil sellers are messing up my SSG farming >.<
Just bought this axe for 2 mil on asura. I was going for wrath tabar first, but ended up buying this since I was worried about stealing hate too often w/ wrath tabar.
The price also has a lot to do with the fact that Spectacles are going down in price ever since Sushi came out. And since Spectacles are down, and less nessecary and uber, lots of people stopped doing this BCNM. So, in effect, they raised the price on this to compensate for the lacking prices in Spectacles. (Assult Earring, at least on my server, isn't worth enough to justify doing BCNMs for it, so it's not that coveted on Gilgamesh. This axe, however, is.)
Bought mine for 100k sold for 450k. Sometimes inflation works in your favor :)
I still see BSTs in their 70s use this Axe but I really don't like the looks and the damage was getting outdated so it was time for an upgrade. It was good while it lasted though.
lol wow, I bought this Axe back when Bst was still an outcast job for 20k. The huge price increase shows how far bst has come in terms of popularity I guess.
I picked mine up for 15k a while back, definately love the additional slow effect it has. :) It seems to kick in on TW-EP a LOT more than it will on EM-T however. Fought 3rd tier gobs in rolanberry and got the effect to land 100% of the time one fight, usually had a 50-75% effect rate. Fought Esbats in U. Range and had it land once if I was lucky. No big deal though, I don't want to melee too much when finishing off exp mobs at 59 anyway lol.
15-25k on Siren. This is a VERY nice axe for BST and I cannot understand how it's so cheap. Even if they're a lot of them that drop, this is still the Axe most BST will use until deep into their 60's and perhaps later. I realize there aren't many BST, but getting this axe for this cheap is insane. It should easily be in the 200k+ range.
I'm not complaining though... I picked mine up for 20k but it's priceless to a BST for a good 10 levels or more. I now use this and a Wrath Tabar when I go BST/NIN. Most of my gear runs in the 100-250k range and this 20k axe is by far my useful item.
