Why axe weapons are so much more priced than clubs and swords?

Question

In terms of end-game melee weapons, axe weapon prices seems to be few times higher than clubs and swords. Is that happen beacuse there are much more axe users?

Answer 1

The reason behind the price of the axes is their rarity

Sword users are more common than axe users. When I was level 200 (long time ago) one shiny blade was 2kk while a crystalline axe was worth 800k

Sorry but your answer do not make sense, if we have more sword users it should have a higher price since u have more players looking for that

Swords have more users however they are more way common in drop rates. (basic demand vs offer)
People are killing oberon / cobra for months before dropping one item falcon or cobra item, and this item needs to be an axe. However people farming winterblade / summer blade will drop at least one per month (or more). A gnome sword is also a common drop from wz 4-6 bosses. So we have a lot of swords in the market while struggling to get a few pieces of the axes.
As I commented, swords used to be more expensive when the axe and sword drop rates were equal (demand vs offer)

Answer 2

Hello!

The best end games axe weapons are rarest than swords. You have to consider the monster or boss that drops it and the elemental type of the weapon. Example:

- Cobra axe (ice) and Cobra Sword (physical);

- Falcon Battleaxe (Energy) and Falcon Longsword (physical).

The elemental (non-physical) swords are dropped easier by other bosses.
