I was thinking about this the other day, when someone suggested merching a 6-18 no inherent axe (like the one showed in the pic below). Here is my input on these items, and I would be interested in seeing what you guys think as well. A 6-18 dmg no inherent axe does 12 dmg on average ((6+18)/2) A 6-16 dmg 14^50 axe does 12.54 dmg on average (((6+16)/2)+((6+16)/2)*0.14). A 13^50 does 12.43 dmg. So these two weapons do similar damage, would you merch a 6-16 dmg 14^50 axe? In addition, the 6-18 dmg one is much rarer (from my experience farming - let me know if you feel otherwise). Same with swords, A near max 11-15 dmg no inherent sword does 13 dmg on average, a max 12-16 does 14 dmg. A 10-14 dmg 14^50 sword does 13.68 dmg on average. Would you merch a 10-14 dmg 14^50 sword? Then there are the near-max weapons with unwanted inherents, which are generally treated as if they had no inherent, in terms of pricing. I feel that this is also a mistake because the rarity of the item must be factored in (not just it's effectiveness). For example, an 11-15 dmg 18<50 sword should not be cheaper than a 10-14 dmg 14^50 sword, even though the second one has a bit higher damage output. Let me know what you guys think about these.

Well, 14^50 is the classic sought-after inherent. It looks much nicer than an 18<50.

You have to make a difference, what u want to do with the weapon. Mostly People don´t wanna fight with them - they want fame and trading^^ Same reason, why a lot of People dont Customized their weapons (+20% dmg)
But i agree for u. If i would build me a Axe War like in the Guide, i would buy very cheap a 6-18 axe without inherent and customizing it to me (+20%) . So i have the best price-performance Ratio.
Hope somebody can understand my bad english^^

Apollo hit the nail on the head, buying cheap high damage axes and customizing them, Mavgyr you're giving up our trade secrets here! But in seriousness, the most important factor in the price here is the Supply/Demand ratio, now you're right, a 6-16 with a nice inherent seems way more common than a 6-18 with no inherent (or a bad one) but they're also valued higher by the buyers, in this case, that's what they prefer, mostly for their own reasons beyond our comprehension,
Personally i like 6-18 with no inherent, but mostly because i know i can get a decent axe for a good price : )
