Do they still exist??? I am trying hard to sell a +9 HF diligent FS10 and I get 0 reactions.

Not really. It's a very underpowered build that can't survive in the end-game without some crazy gear, better than the particular HF you've trying to sell. It's also a generally underplayed class so you won't find too many people in the market for it. The only application for an axe build I can think of would be MVPing, but an AK-carded HF would be better suited to that. You've kinda bricked its value by carding it with Zipper.

 

Aside from that, most of the HFs that go are EA enchanted since they're more versatile, able to be used by Gens and AC Mechs. The HF you're selling is both very niche and unoptimised for its purpose and so isn't particularly good value for money.

 

The fact that you haven't given an A/S isn't helping either. Makes it look like you have no idea what it's worth.

Yeah, I guess that about sums it up. I will have to either make a huge loss by selling it for very low price compared to what it cost me to make or maybe gamble with card removal service in Malangdo. Anyone have experience with that?

Said npc has been disabled. https://support.warp...ng-an-item.aspx

Its best you save the weapon and use it to level your other characters.

Well, my biochemist is almost 99 and I bought a red twin so I really have no use for it anymore. I will just have to settle for a huge loss here, I added an A/S of 150m. It is still a good weapon for lvling an axe mechanic to say 120, no?

Axe builds generally aren't viable in PvM leveling from 101 onwards, due to the increased focus on mobbing for EXP gain. Axenado, being the go-to axe build AoE leveling tool, has a very weak modifier and scales hard off base level which makes it all but useless where it's most necessary, and most theoretically "useful" where it's too weak to be effective.

 

Because of this, you won't be seeing many, if any Mechs leveling with an axe build.

 

If you're into WoE:TE it could make a serviceable HSCRing weapon on a Mastersmith, since BG gear inc. KvM is disabled there. Otherwise it won't see a whole lot of use.

 

If it seems like Mechs have some balancing issues to contend with from what you just read, you'd be right.

Even a giant axe probably beats your weapon for HSCR because of the bonus damage too.

At lower refines yes, but since HF is Lv4 and GA is Lv3, the higher you go the more effective a HF becomes relative to a GA. You also get ASPD and Mid redux from a HF which is great for HSCRing, and keeping yourself a bit tanky while doing so.

 

Not that you should ever become complacent and keep a HF out when not attacking. Always default shield when out of combat, and CK+shield during PvP/WoE.

 

Fun fact: To keep GA relevant as a HSCRing weapon on jRO, they added a set bonus with 
Gigant Helm (GA is Gigant Axe on jRO) that boosts HSCR damage by a further 15% (30%) and again by 5% per GA refine.
