Quick Question, Very Important, Please Answer ASAP.

I was wondering exactly how does identifying an item work in Guild Wars. Does being a higher level, or in a different area, affect the out comes of an item once it has been identified?

For example, in Diablo II identifying an item at a higher level will increase your chance of getting better and more suitable for your character mods. Is this true when it comes to Guild Wars? Is there anything I should know when it comes to identifying items?

I'm wondering because I just traded for two unidentified Eternal Shields and I want to identify them, but I'm not sure if I should wait until I hit level 20. The person that found the two shields was a level 20... but I am a level 6.

You can try equipping the shields first and see if your max hp goes up to indicate a fortitude mod, or using them and ascertaining what benefits they are providing by trial and error. Then see if they are worth keeping and id'ing or just reselling them un-id'd.

However the level of the identifier or finder has no bearing on the item mods revealed.

you click identify and thats it.

no difference between a level 1 and a level 20 as to what the result will be

Thanks a lot. I wish I would have known that before I spent my 55 plat on them . At least they have a low 8 req...

[Edit]

Whats one with 16 defense, +33 HP while enchanted req 8 strength worth?
