Captain's Axe of Assault (26) vs Abyssal Flamberge of Lethality (25)

[Chaim Nail]

Does anyone know why the CAA can be had for around 10k and the AFL has been in the 300k+ price range, yet on paper the Axe has a higher DPS?


Captain's Axe of Assault lvl26: 61 DPS, 31 Strength, 16 Dexterity. Chance to proc 8% Dodge buff for 6 seconds.

Abyssal Flamberge of Lethality lvl25: 60.2 DPS, 22 strength, 1.55 Crit. Chance to proc +10% dodge, 5% crit and small heal over time.


I have both, I got the AFL for around 30k before the update which boosted its DPS from 51 to 60.2 and yesterday bought the CAA for 8k because I wanted to see if it was any better, I can't seem to find any real difference when playing.

Im not so sure of this is the answer to your question but I think the AFL is more expensive beacuse of its Drop Rate. AFLs Dont really drop too often and which is why this weapon is expensive. Again,Im not sure if this is the answer to your question.

Abyssal has better procs and the damage is suppose to scale to your level.

oh, i didnt know about scaling, could u pls give an example?

A shame I wasn't lvl26 when I bought the AFL because I would have picked that lvl version, as it stands now I don't have 2m gold for an upgrade!

Look at Abyssal's proc. It's a proc that can actually equal to the Happiness Bonus of a pet. I believe that this, combined with its low drop rate, is what makes it so expensive.

Things have changed a little since the upgrade buff, previously I would quite often get messages such as "name of weapon pls" and then I'd have to remember how to spell it, but now I get "trade your weapon for my armour+weapon" type messages to which my reply is always "weapon not for trade/sale"

I do like the distinctive look of it, a very dark green blade with sparkling blue stars and swirls.

I think abbyal is better
