Can someone break down how you would value you a rare item in this game. I see people selling items in game for like 10/20k that dont seem that good to me. I just need a quick opinion from you all of what makes an item special.

The reason I asked is I picked up an item that i like the look of, but for what I know it could be worthless.

Thanks for any help you can give

(keep the omg newb to a minimum plz )

im talking about items people find. 3 gold items i have sell for no more than 300g. so if i can sell a gold item to a vendor for 300g what items are people managing to sell to others for 20k?

the req is high...11. (ideal 7, up to 9)
the damage bonus occurs when health is lower than 50...bad. (ideal greater than 50)
its a gladius. (crystalline, fellblade, wingblade)

and also, gold items fell through the floor...dunno for how long.

I hope the gold item farmers and spammers will NEVER realize that the worth of their gold items never really got affected by green items because green items are actually worth less than collectors items because you can not modify or salvage them and there are onlly 72 different green items at max.

Some of them may only need a week to realize that...

ok im still not getting how you can value items, i understand that its worth more if the attribute requirement is lower, but how do you pick up an item, look at it and say thats worth 5/10/20k. what stats would it need?

Generally, appearance is more important than stats for sheer value, since collectors items are cheap, and have great stats. IF the model of the weapon is a rarer one, or looks better, like a fellblade, crystalline, storm bow, or chaos axe, people will pay more.

As for good stats, people tend to really like 14/15% more damage when health is > 50%

An item is only worth what a person is willing to pay for it.

Some people just arent that brite and are grossly overpay
