    You can use any weapon (within your class) as long as you meet the requirements lol. I can afford to +8 with Immac shards an XS, or Star Axes, both being better than my TT80 Ape Axes. So yeah.. enlighten me. =D

    I know that you can use any weapon within the class as long as I meet the requirements. What I meant was is the calmity axe that much better than other axes that you can get at your lvl. I was thinking about getting one but don't know if it's worth it because I don't want to buy it and then out grow it in couple of lvls.

    Edit: Also, if you don't mind...may I ask how much is that calmity axe worth (clean weapon and mold)?

    Thank you ^.^

    If you have XS refined to +7 or higher, you can use that one at level 90. But your damage will be just "ok".

    Star Axes are better than XS even when gloom is not as good as Berserker.

    This is because Star Axes have a higher base physical attack, as well as the bonus they give per refinement level is higher, which, when mixed with Gloom, gives a higher damage than XS with Berserker.

    Calloused Lionheart Hatchets is what you want at lv 90. However, is pretty obvious is super hard to get soooo between Star and Calamity is very difficult to choose from.

    Calamity
    DMG 467-1089
    HP Value +185
    Constitution +10~11
    Berserk: A certain chance to double the attack damage when deliver, but will loss a max of 5% HP value from oneself.

    Star
    DMG 582-1358
    Increase in Physical Attack +77
    Constitution +14~15
    Dejected: A certain chance to increase oneself's physical attack greatly, but at the same time oneself will loss 5% of mana point.

    The real question is "Is Berserk strong enough to make up for the lack of base dmg and attack increase?" I think no, but without any form of DMG/sec tracking is very hard to prove. Anyway compare and consider.

    My calamities are at +5

    How much would it cost in coins or Gold to increase to +6?

    I'd say go with Stars til you can afford/obtain the materials for GX at 90. I'll be using my XS +7 til I get to 90 and make Stars, while keeping a look out for a shot at mats for GX =O

    Templar guy just got the GX here in Sanctuary. He refined them at +5.

    does anyone think i should keep my +3 calamities or sell em? because i cant afford to refine any further... or is the damage or mods still better than getting tt80 axes?

    Calamity is the best until you can get Star Axes/GX.

    My bad xD

    I meant 130 Level 1 Dragon Orbs, which is 35 gold and 10 silver, that is around 3.75-4.2m (using dekciw's numbers).

    Haha. xP

    Gold finally dropped to 110-115k on Sanctuary, now. So it's qiute a bit cheaper making +6 then it was, 2 weeks ago, when prices were 140-170k, which is when I made a small fortune xD.
