Guild Wars 2

Go to the TP.
Do a search filter for all masterwork weapons of any level.
Organize by price, most expensive at the top.
Notice that the most valuable masterwork items are levels 20 and 23 and they’re all the “Charr (weapon type) of Force.” They often sell for 2 – 5 gold (I’ve sold one myself!).

Why do people find these weapons in particular SO MUCH MORE valuable than everything else in the Masterwork category? I asked my Lion’s Arch map chat, and people suggested that maybe it was the weapon skin people were after. That can’t be the case though, because the Charr Cleaver of Force has two versions: One at level 20, one at level 23. The level 23 one sells for 2 gold, the level 20 one sells for 1 silver. And they both look identical.

One other interesting thing I’ve noted is that these items don’t have merchant prices on them; they could be sold for one copper on the TP if someone wanted.

There’s definitely something I’m missing here, and if anyone has any idea, I’d love to know.
Thanks.

Theres a few items like this – I’ve assumed that some of them are due to flippers accidentally placing a high buy order e.g. 42s rather than 4.2s but others are deliberate manipulation. SADLY the lack of item preview on the TP is leading a great many people to spend a lot more than they have to….
