i have about 1xx runes on mules that are full w/o 1 spot missing.. just make sure your perm your items.. (open trade window with other player in game, click trade. hit esc or cancel and exit game immediately

i did that in my last trade, didnt change anything, rune poofed. ive bought high runes 2 times here, both times they poofed, so its basicly hard earned fgs out of the window both times :=)

Stop giving him false info, there's no such thing like "temp perm".

I respectfully disagree. Just like giraffe I've dealt with plenty of unperm runes in my time and I have only had them "poof" when I forgot to temp perm out.

more like thousands.. in the beginning of a ladder, where dupers did not come that far, you can see the "real" price..



ppl will tell you the same stupid story, if you tell them, that repairing the hellforge hammer won't give you better drops.. just like a soccer player would tell you that he blows ass without his magical lucky-charm-socks..

So have I, and I've had the same amount poof when I do that, as when I don't.

Well, I suppose anything is possible so maybe I've just been lucky I guess. I'm not stubborn and am always in search of the truth even if that conflicts with what I currently believe. So let's come up with an agreed protocol on how to test this. Not sure why someone hasn't done this before actually hehe.

So, I could get 2 Bers (each on their own character) that are exact copies (all made from the same original). Then I could set-up a series of tests:

Test 1:

Character A creates game.
Character B joins game.
Character A & B temp perm out.
Character A creates game to see if rune is still there. (IP recorded)
Character B does the same. (IP recorded to verify A and B aren't on same server)

IF Test 1 shows that both runes are there then it appears that temp perming was successful... assuming the runes really were clones of eachother which is where Test 2 comes into play.


Test 2:

Character A creates game.
Character B joins game.
Character A & B do NOT perm out and just exit game.
Character A creates game to see if rune is still there.
Character B does the same.

IF Test 2 shows that 1 or both runes have "poofed" then we have verified that the runes were in fact clones of eachother.

And what exactly are you going to prove with such a test?

Seriously? That's your response? Do you even care if it works or not? Doesn't seem like you care and just want to be "right".

Well some people actually do care how things really work so I'm sure many will see the value in the results even if you don't.

Peace

The answer is already known. Me and a bunch of my old friends used to temp perm all the time and if the items were unperm they would poof. We even tested it a few times back in 1.10 when one of my friends knew how to dupe, he would create dupes and we would s&e games while temp perming and it never worked, not even once. Feel free to test on your own but a small number of people already know.
