I think the thing that is often missed in A> like this is the difference and balance between the "odds to refine to +_X_" and the cost/benefit ratio. Sure, if you add up the odds of creating a slotted orcish axe, then getting it to +10, its worth a fortune. To a player who wants to use an axe like this, you get a nice +10 atk boost over a much easier to get +8. Now, sure you can say a +10 is worth THIS much more because its harder to make.. but can you say its worth THIS much more because you get 10 more atk? I sold my +9 quad dilligent 5 months back for about 30m. I thought it was a fair price and I honestly wouldnt expect much more than that.. if you do just keep it.
