Bain weapons

Why are the Bain weapons so expensive? My friend and I sell them for 100m+... I don't really get it. Maple weapons have a higher attack and attack speed.

Is it just a showoff item?

Pretty much showoff. It's one of the few things that is still (somewhat) rare.

Because they are collectables.
I collect bain equips and always use my bain pole-arm on my DarkKnight.
It's the same with certain ITCG items like the Heavenly Messengers I collect.
I bought some for over 100m aswell.

Not many people bother with (or understand) Normal Balrog PQ either, which keeps their prices up.

Due to its weird balancing, it's awful on some classes and soloable on others. So not everyone does it. Plus it's pretty unforgiving in terms of DR for such a low level boss.

I see. Thanks.
