 A weapon type (swords, axes, daggers etc) shares the same directional modifier characteristics regardless of [[Item Quality | item quality]] or [[Item Tiers | tier]]. Quality and tier affect overall damage only. So, all axes have the same characteristics, but different base damage, which is based on the tier of the item. A tier 5 axe will have a higher base damage than a tier 4 axe.
