Although Moby found that the names were a little odd like "Ice stick" and "poky back scratcher", the stats told a different story. Those weapons might have been useless in Avilia's eyes but they were more than strong enough for his purposes, especially with his current strength.
The weapons also had many useful and interesting abilities that well-matched and aided the strengths of their respective race. In his case, his sword increased his cold/ice damage by 15% as well as another extremely powerful effect that allowed him to slow down his enemy's movements which can be extremely overpowered and abused under the right circumstances.
The best part was that even though their costs might have seemed really high, they were actually much cheaper than other weapons identical to it in strength found on the web.
And, from what he saw from the armour sets, he felt like the trend of good, "cheap" equipment would continue.
