Title: Axe Looting
Post by: Constin on September 12, 2005, 08:45:29 pm: I was wondering if you could make AXE looting more avalible, I get tons of swords, But I personaly train on axes. With all the high slash swords out there, I wish I could get some decent axe\'s. Thanks.

I guess since training has gotten harder, they made it easier to make money...To kinda even it out

It isn\'t a bug.

To get axes, there is a merc which drops them and Brigand drops them as well.

your best bet would to be beg someone to sell theirs, and you\'ll need a LOT of money for that :)

I have been wondering about this... i have killed the merc like 10 times and always have gotten apples... if anything... but yes there are axe droppers...

Post by: Drey on September 13, 2005, 11:36:39 am: yeah, mercs seem to have their drop rates worked out very nicley, although they can be a little frustrating.

and no its not a bug, just the random loot generator needing a little fine tuning before its all working correctly. but then you could say thats a bug...?

You meant to say \"good hack&slash names and stats\", right? Personally, I don\'t see how those weapons are any good when it comes to role-playing...

Also, axes weren\'t as common weapons as swords... I think that\'s normal...

I regularly sell such weapons for 10k or under..... I sold a 55 slash for 15k a few days ago.

The merc in question is located in the arena. As you walk in, take the stairs on the left going up. The very first merc on the right is the one that loots axes.

For the record, Brigand is the only character in the game that loots silver falchions and small battle axes. The small battle axes have special types.
