Okay, I'm looking to finally upgrade my elf's weapon. This is probably going to be an annoying request based just as much around RP as utility, so if you don't want to deal with that, bail out now.

Considering most THWs in the 2-5 mil range. If you have a weapon that really hits all of the categories below, I can go significantly higher.

If you don't mind waiting, I can also forge you a 4x perfect OHE/THW of your choice for trade as all or some of the price. I can do mauls and bastard swords; I can't do rapiers or katars.

I'm not quite sure what I want, but I know what I don't want. Very helpful, I know. I'm in no rush.

Not too picky on bases. 7 or 8 RT ones preferred (maul/mattock/greatsword/greataxe/claidhmore). No flails or military picks.
Eahnor strongly preferred. Vaalorn comes in second the same way I'd come in second racing Usain Bolt. For the right weapon, I might consider faenor, rolaren, or golvern, but probably not.
He won't use an ensorcelled weapon. My empath should be able to make the new ensorcell stripping potions, so while a T1 ensorcell isn't a total no-go, I'm probably not going to want to pay what you're asking for a higher-tier ensorcelled weapon.
I'm saving up BPs for a fixstat, so enhancives are a lower priority right now, but still welcome/desirable.
Cool alterations are a plus. I prefer a show to a long, and prefer cool-looking (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/2c/cb/b1/2ccbb1820782dfadecbdc7d95878e8ef.jpg) but "boring" (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/50/53/8e/50538ee2000f84bf6bb2cd9817fe5adc.jpg) weapons rather than over-the-top ornamentation (http://www.gamenafter.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/masamune.png). The kind of weapon your FF character starts the game with, not the kind they use to fight the final boss.
I keep going back and forth over whether I'd want a faenor claidh. I'll probably go looking for one if this thread doesn't pan out.
Again, I'd consider breaking my budget for a really cool non-ensorcelled eahnor weapon. Eahnor claidh, eahnor undeadbane/extraplanarbane, etc.


Other things I'm also interested in that readers of this thread might have:

Interesting quarterstaves in the sub 1-mil range. I have a soft spot for broken weapons because I'm a broken person.
Elven metal swords/knives with cool alters, regardless of stats. OHE and hook-knives are fine too.
Eahnor dagger or hook-knife for skinning, no matter how useless/ugly. If you fucked up an enchant and blackened one, I'll take it off of you.
Slabs of elven metal.

Also, if you came here and realized I'm not gonna buy what you're selling, maybe BLZrizz will: http://forum.gsplayers.com/showthread.php?101268-LF-High-end-THWs

Not sure white ora is an "elven" material.

Also.. your budget is way low for an eahnor claid, sadly. But there are a few around.

Your best bet is a player made eahnor weapon. Strydyr has a slew in his shop.

Personally, I would go with this one.

a half-crescent eahnor bearded axe
It imparts a bonus of +18 more than usual.

It requires skill in twohanded weapons to use effectively.
It has been mainly crafted out of eahnor.

Ta'Vaalor Ariisal 920,000

Thanks but no thanks.

Yeah, I know 5 mil doesn't buy an eahnor claidh. It buys a faenor one with room to spare, which is why I called a faenor one out specifically.

Maybe I should have given some background. I already have a nicely-altered 5x eahnor maul that's 1 pound from max light. My warrior uphunts just fine with it. He doesn't need an upgrade. I just want to see what's out there.

I don't want or need a plain 4x eahnor weapon, unless it's a dagger or hookknife, and that's just to serve as fluff when I skin. And 920k for a plain eahnor battleaxe is ridiculous. (That one's not even player-crafted.) There's a reason it's still on playershops.

I'm also not going to spend 1 mil on an elegant maul when I have a forging master with maul glyphs. I'd rather wait for an eahnor slab to turn up and make it myself. Barring a fumble, elegant pieces are what master forgers make by default.

I know what's in the 1mil and under range, and I don't need it. I know what's on the 15m+ end, and if I saw the right piece in that range, I might pull the trigger on it. Probably not, but maybe. I'd rather not spend that much at once. (I was really tempted by Riend's vaalorn claidhmore, and am kinda glad that the auction folded so I don't have to be bummed someone else got it.)

I honestly have no idea what kind of elven THW stuff is around the 5mil range (besides the aforementioned faenor claidhs), especially when you take ensorcelling off the table, which is why I made this thread.

not sure of the ensorcell status, but I had sold a MCW eahnor flamberge a while back.

and i currently have a MCW quarterstaff, and a shadowdeath quarterstaff somewhere on a character. id have to research the prices on them if you were interested.

I saw a translucent vultite alloy quarterstaff in a playershop once for 800k. Always regret not pulling the trigger on that.

Yeah that's a pretty sword, although the crystal hilt is a bit much

I know Vaalorn is your second choice but I have this in my locker: a kelyn-hilted vaalorn katana
