so I'm a little confused on this, let's say I find a lvl 15 item with 15 strength 7 experience gain and like 4 mind numb, but it's an axe, k fairly useless item for a melee char
but I see glyphers wanting to buy these items for 1fg, then they glyph it and then sell it on market for like 20+ fg, how does this make sense to the seller? I get 1fg, they get 20+ :blink:

so what you're saying is, if you make shoes, and are really good at it, and I sell you the material for making shoes, I get 1 dollar from you and you turn around sell your shoes for 20 dollars?
that's not at all how the real economy of things go, just curious why it is that way with glyphable items, if they know they can make 20+ fg on that item, why can't the seller make a decent amount also?
without my item they can't glyph it, should be a little common ground here, atleast that's my opinion ofc.

because they have spent the time u have not, and glpyhs are not a sure thing, it is quite often common to fail and now they are out 5 fg with no prof or item to resell.

How do you know which items can and can not be glphyed?

Is there a chart or something by chance"?

well see I took this for granted, I assumed any item is 100% sure to be glyphed, you're right I have not tried it yet, thank you for the explaination

Its simple and exactly like in the real economy:

Few are able to glyph and they make the prices. You can sell it for 1 fg or you can keep an useless item. Thats an oligopoly.
