Not really, IMO. There are far better places to farm for good skin items, and other nice stuff. Most of the people don't know that there are no such things as "Gold" Icy Dragon Swords, and they call you a scammer sometimes. Even now its not worth too much money, and it's difficult to find a buyer.

ya they all come gold now instead of blue so they are exempt from loot scaling.

They're always gold now...there is no longer a blue IDS that you can get as a drop

they go around 15k nowadays, I got one on my first try with a terratank build. It was a quick 15k for me, but I guess that was luck...

i farm IDS's a whole lot on my monk with a sprint / rush / SoJ build, and it makes me a ton of money. i sell them relatively easily at 20K each, and i get them often enough. but that's just me.

And about, "gold" IDSes, I'm sorry, I forgot that an update changed it so there's no more Blue Idses.

Dude, there are threads and threads on here, not to mention lots of information on the wiki, that you could easily look up in just a few minutes rather than asking to have every last thing explained. The search button is your friend.

It has the same stats, I can't imagine why it would be worth any less.

And no they're not really worth farming anymore. I remember when they used to sell for at least 100k each. These days, not so much.

I farmed IDS one day with My w/mo build and on my second try I farmed 2 IDS on one run, and then 4 more during the day sold each for 19k so you figure it out. IS it worth it? 100k plus in my account says they are

And you guys selling for over 15k... how the hell do you do it?
