HC Trading

Mark - 25 May 2005 22:57 GMT
I just wanted to give a heads up to all the HC players. In addition to doing
serious MFing for the first time in my D2 career, I have been doing a good
bit of trading. Most low to mid range gear goes for perfect gems. The next
level is mid range runes for the better stuff. PGs convert to runes at the
rate of 35-40 > Pul (I got 2 Puls today though for 63 PGs though). The top
end trades all involve HRs (high runes). With any level though, there is a
good bit of volatility and you can get some very good deals.

But one thing all HC players should be aware of is the value of some things
you probably sell to vendors. This is primarily dueler gear, which is why
the average PvM player might not recognize the value of it. Some things to
keep an eye out for:
+9 max damage, L9 req jewels
+15 max, L18 jewels
+15 life small charms, L15 req
+20 life SCs
A nice second mod will increase the value exponentially. For example, I saw
a +20%ED/+9 max, L9 jewel trade for 5x Ist recently.
Angelic set Ammy, and to a lesser extent the ring
Death's set belt, and to a lesser extent the gloves
Cow Kings set boots
4 socket ethereal gothic plate, w/ E Def is better
4 socket ethereal flail, w/ E Dam is better
ethereal Bonesnap maul, high ED better

Of course if anyone has/finds any of the above, I'd be glad to broker it for
them. ;-)

Thanks for the heads-up Mark. I'm sure I've sold quite a few +9 max damage
jewels to vendors. I'll print this and keep it handy.

Cheers,

This is true for SC players as well, at least those in USW server.  I
heard that LLD (low level dueler) items are even more popular in USE,
but never confirmed it myself since I never played there.

If blue (i.e. single mod), they are probably not worth much.  IIRC in
SC, 1 to 4 of these went for a Lem.

> +15 life small charms, L15 req

If HC is equivalent to SC, only ones with +15 life are tradeable as LLD
items. +14 has no value (unless it has a useful 2nd mod); +16 has no
value because at +16 the level req is much higher.

In general, E Def (or E Dam) is much more desirable than E Dura.  If
the item has 15% E Def and no durability, the trade value increases
exponentially.

There are many more dueler items that PvM players easily overlook.
Since I had not played for some time, I will attempt to list few that I
still remember. (P = perfect or near perfect stat, be it E Def, E Dam,
def, or whatever else may vary).  Some of these items are also useful
fo PvM, but if you do find any, you are better off selling them and
settle for the inferior version of the same item for yourself.

P Magefist
Hotspur
P Eth unique sword that self repairs (forget name)
P Biggins Bonnet
Eth Hotspur
Eth Biggins
Eth Crainte Vomir
15 Str Eth unique boots that self repair
P Eth HoZ
P Eth unique barbie hat lvl 42
P Goreriders

Mana/Life sc (perhaps gc too, but not lc)
Mana/FHR, Resist/FHR sc
Shimmering sc of vita
Skill gc with useful 2nd mod (Kaytie, Misfit and many others have the
list of which skills and which mods)
Max/AR/Life, Max/Ar, Max/Life, AR/Life charms
---> 3/20/20 sc was selling for no less than 15 Ist in USW SC.

20 dext Raven with 200+ AR
---> 20/250 was selling for no less than 4 Ist.
A matching pair of SoJ sell more than non-matching ones.

They arew worth more in HC because of the gear loss. Not all duelers/PKs
have a looter available, so a lot more gear is lost.

Charms are MUCH more valuable in HC since they can never be looted.
