Thanks, I'll keep asking.

Rip is being ironic as simply considering ratio overlooks a lot of how to tier weapons.
I was lucky enough the be pretty actively playing during the Azure Guard days and they granted me the gem for Earthcaller so I was mainly rocking my epics for a long time. I’m not really the type to go chasing the best weapons.
I do enjoy the trash clear type raids and did eventually manage to get a Braid of Tunare for very little dkp, which is noticeably better than Earthcaller (but Earthcaller still gets a lot of use). As I understand it the braid is a second tier 1 hander, and even the best 1 handers compare unfavourably to the best couple of tiers of 2 handers (i don’t have a great 2 hander - i have a Culler (31/37 trash drop from upper Hate) which gets used to slaughter stuff around the Rivervale are while waiting for rezzes).
So tldr Earthcaller is very expensive compared to alternatives, but it does have a niche (I don’t think my ranger could solo the 50+ KC nameds without it). For xp grinding, even solo, you’re probably best just going for max dps which apparently means 2 hander (but I can’t vouch that from a deep 1st hand experience).
