Axes are more expensive but can be used on more classes. Clubs are cheaper but only certain feeder classes can use them.

Axes can be used by Headhunters
Axes can be used either with dexterity of strength equipment
Axes are expensive
Clubs need str equipment only
Clubs are cheap

That's it

beautiful summary.


as some idea of the price difference,
an axe 190+ ee will cost 25k+
a club 190ee+ will cost 6k+

an axe 150ee+ will cost ~4k+
a club 150ee+ will cost 1.2k+


Because HH can only use axe or battleaxe, this is why the demand for axes is significantly higher.
similarly, strength gear is generally cheaper than dex gear.

ignoring offcast, you WILL need a dex robe and charm for monk in group climbs.
Strength is not required at all if you do daggers and axes with dex.

Daggers and axes. Then all you need is a caster set and you can use every class.

With swords, you need swords, daggers/staves, and axes and a caster set.

with caster setup you can cast on monk :> which is appreciated since most climbs missing healers/casters nowadays when there are more HH then ever xD

Thank you for the market breakdown, supply and demand of course.

Agreed, looking for versatility.
