I’m not seeing any axes drop or even seeing them in shops in the game so far (up to area level 17). I was able to gamble for an axe at end of time. I’ve checked every single shop, turned off my loot filter, etc. Not a single axe to be found.
I dropped one unique axe and some from omen windows. Other than that no axes. I’m also not seeing maces and spears lol.
Seems similar to you issue, I can gamble for them but normal shops do not have them.
Edit1: I tried online, pseudo-offline and full-offline, different characters, different classes (primalist, mage) and still no axes, maces or spears. I found a lizard shrine and one of them dropped a unique 1h axe so it seems like the uniques do drop.
Edit2: I’m reinstalling the game right now.
Edit3: Reinstalling the game didn’t help.
Edit4: I found a rare mace in the nemesis encounter. Champion mob dropped a spear with a champion affix (electrify on hit). Looks like I’m able to find maces, axes and spears in the special encounters (nemesis, champions, omen windows) but normal mobs don’t drop them.
Cosigning this, submitted a bug report and quadruple checked to make sure my filter was turned off. A lot of scepters, swords, staves, daggers and wands but little to no other main weapon types.
Edit: So far can only find them at the gamblers, about to enter the imperial era.
Edit2: Only have had 2 spears and 2 maces natively drop from Omens, seems like the drop weights are all kinds of wrong. Currently at the Fallen Tower.
Edit3: Add in bows missing as well.
Yeah, same here. Had my filter highlighting swords and axes (for runes of ascendancy). Dropped dozens (maybe 100+) swords and not a single axe. Only axe I saw was from a Set item drop because it drops the entire set.
