The weapons thread thingy is closed so... I need some newbie help on what items should I keep and whatnot? Also if they are worth selling, what price/s should I sell them for (and where do I sell them)? Which ones should I try to salvage?

Omg you don't know how long it took just to type all these items up... Hope someone can help me here.

You have some pretty amazing mods there, I have to admit.

In terms of items to keep, I say:

~ Furious Butterfly Sword of Swordsmanship
~ Fiery Short Sword of Fortitude
~ Cane
~ Aegis (because I like the look of them)

Salvage mods when you can, and go for the ones which seem near-perfect because you have real good ones there.

You've got some very nice items there.

I know very little about the market, but I think you'd be safe salvaging/selling to an NPC the weapons that aren't max damage (the axe, the Dead Staff, the Fire Staff, the purple bows, the smiting staff, that 9-14 purple cane and the Jeweled Staff). Oh, and probably that gold Grim Cesta (since it's 1 off max energy, and I don't know how much demand there is for death magic req focuses that increase your blood magic level)

Sorry I can't be of much use.

[Moogalite]

the only sellable thing to other people there is the cane which is +5 energy>50
the rest can be salvaged for the good mods.. furious (10%) would be your best bet mod
The reqs are too high on them to sell easily.... req 8, 9 and sometimes 10 pending on the skin

Moo has pretty much summed it up. Don't even bother selling the non-max items, you'll be wasting your time. Salvage what mods you can, and if they're near top percentage, sell them (i.e. the +1 Swordsmanship 19% mod and the +29 Fortitude sword grip).

Thanks for the help!

So far I've kept these:

Crippling Long sword
Furious Butterfly Sword of Swordsmanship
Fiery Short Sword of Fortitude
Earth Wand
Zealous Hornbow of Skeletonslaying
Cane
Cane
Aegis
Fiery bow string

Now these have been added:

Furious Long Sword of Fortitude max dmg (9 swordsmanship) dmg+13% (stance) double adrenalin (8%) Health+26
Furious Scimitar of Defense dmg 14-21 (7 swordsmanship) dmg+14% (health>50%) double adrenaline (10%) armor+5
Smiting Rod max dmg energy+4 (hexed)
2 Fiery Dragon Swords not max or anything - just keeping them
Hornbow of Fortitude max dmg (12 marksmanship) dmg+14 (health>50%) health+26
Hale Bone Staff energy+10 max dmg (11 death magic) health+24
Sundering Summit Hammer of Defense dmg 19-35 (8 hammer mastery) dmg+17% (hexed) armor penetration 20% (17%) armor+5
Summit Hammer 19-35 (11 hammer mastery) dmg+13% (health>50%)
Bone Staff energy+10 max dmg (9 death magic) halves casting time of spells (9%)
Frost Artifcat energy+12 (13 water magic) armor+5 (enchanted)
Insightful Inscribed Staff of Fortitude energy+10 max dmg (11 domination) energy+5 health+29
Grim Cesta energy+12 (12 curses) reduces blind duration 20%

I think I'm getting an idea of what is good and what is not... just need a bit more help now and maybe I'll be able to think for myself whats good or not now. I have a few questions though:

Should I keep weapons that are white but have max dmg?
What are the most popular mods to salvage?
What are the mods that should not be salvaged?

Thanks again.

P.S.: I'm using the Cane right now as a weapon... still need a good divine favor weapon. My focus is the divine symbol from the weapon crafter in droknar's.

P.P.S.: I've just completed ring of fire islands and have come back and finished all the bonuses I missed. That means I have a Protector of Tyria title! Yay! ::wears title proudly::
