Large Charms
====================

There are few large charms that have value, however 35life/48ar/6max large charms are viable for High Level dueling, and therefore all large charms should be identified with this being the "chase large charm".

Large Charms 15life/12Attack Rating
Large Charms 15Life/7Mana
Large Charm 15life/15-20ar/3max damage
Large Charm 35life/40-48ar/6max

(a) Certain classes have better clear speeds or are more popular in the game. Therefore plain Light Skillers, Jav Skillers will always sell well. In season 13, with the introduction of Warlock, Eldritch Skillers and Chaos Skillers sold very well.
(b) 30 Life it max max available for the level 49 dueling bracket (say, 31 Life is level 52) and a 31 Lifer's value decreases by the day. Any skiller at or above 39 Life is typically used in nonladder PvP and therefore the closer to 45 Life, the better.

RINGS


CRAFTED or RARE
10FCR, 15+STRENGTH (or DEXTERITY), 15+LIFE (can go up to 60 Life) OR 60-90MANA (all other mods are gravy on top)
10FCR, 10+STRENGTH, 10+DEXTERITY), 10-20LIFE OR 60-90MANA (all other mods are gravy on top)
30-40LIFE, 5-9REPLENISH LIFE, 70-90MANA (all other mods are gravy on top)


I’ve always felt that the MINIMUM life a ring should have is 30+ unless the other mods are really good.

In the weapons section. You did not include Eth, Rep, 20+ IAS 280-300ed, Fools.

That’s a pretty big one.

Amazing guide BTW

====================
Boots
====================
Rare Boots
====================
(a) It is a myth that the lower dueling brackets 9-49 seek Resistances on boots. Dual and Tri-Res boots are PvM boots, but players pay very well for high resistances on tri-res boots. For the low level dueling brackets its all about 30frw, dex and mana.

10fhr, 15ar, 40enhanced defense, 3 dexterity (bonus of these are Eth Rep) (Max level 9)
20frw, 3dex, 30-40single res, 30-40single res (Max level 18)
30frw, 10fhr, 5dex, 20mana (Max Level 30)
30frw, 10fhr, 9dex, 40mana (Max Level 49)
30frw, 10fhr, 9dex, 40mana, 30-40 Single Res or Dual res
30frw, Tri Res 30-40%
30frw, Tri Res 30-40% + Magic Find
30frw, Tri Res Dual res + Magic Find + Gold Find
30frw, 9dex, 40mana, 30-40 Single Res or Dual res or Tri Res
====================
Set Boots
====================
Aldur's Advance (40-50Fire res)
Cow King Hooves
Immortal King's Pillar
Natalya's Soul
Sander's Riprap
Horazon's Legacy 15str/15dex 30Magic Res

Unique Boots
====================

Waterwalk 65 Life

Eth SandStorm Trek 15/15
Shadow Dancer 25Dex
Wraithstep
====================
Crafted Boots
====================
There is little desire for 10frw and 20frw Crafted Boots(These are easy to craft). The Chase Item here is 30frw, 15Replenish Life and ideally with high Resistances.

Blood Boots - Horadric Cube: (normal)Magic Light Plated Boots/(exceptional)Battle Boots/(elite)Mirrored Boots + Eth Rune + Perfect Ruby + Any Jewel
Caster Boots - Horadric Cube: (normal)Magic Boots/(exceptional)Demonhide Boots/(elite)Wyrmhide Boots +Thul Rune + Perfect Amethyst +Any Jewel

A comment on crafted boots - Level 30 Crafted Blood (and Caster) Boots should be crafted in a normal base only as exceptional or elite base boots will be over level 30. Lets give an example:
This: 10frw, 10fhr, 18-20life, 10 Replenish life in Light Plated Boots, Level 30, will sell.
This: 10frw, 10fhr, 18-20life, 10 Replenish life in Battle Boots or Mirrored Boots, is Charsi, because the required level of the item will be over Level 30, where we want MORE base FRW (say 20-30frw).
For the lower FRW limits, its all about the bracket. 10FRW craft with a normal base = Level 30. 20FRW, craft with a normal base = Level 49.
For the Max FRW limit on boots, 30FRW, you can craft with any base (for Level 49 craft normal bases only).

Blood Craft: 10frw, 10fhr, 18-20life, 10 Replenish life (normal base)(Max Level 30)
Blood Craft: 20frw, 10fhr, 5dex, 18-20life, 10 replenish life, 20mana (normal base) (Max Level 49)
Blood Craft: 30frw, 10fhr or 5dex, 18-20life, 10 replenish life, 20mana (normal base) (Max Level 49, can only be 3mod, else req level too high)
Blood Craft: 30frw, 15Replenish Life, Dual or Tri Res (any base, exceptional preferred) (Max Level 99)

Caster Boots: 10frw, 10fhr, 3dex, 20mana, 5inc mana, regen mana 10. (normal base)(Max Level 30)
Caster Boots: 30frw, 10fhr or 5dex, 40mana, 5inc mana, regen mana 10. (normal or exceptional base)(Max Level 49, can only b3 3 mod, else req level too high)
Caster Boots: 30frw, 10fhr or 9dex, 60mana, 5inc mana, regen mana 10. (elite base preferred)(Max Level 99). You are really looking for 30frw, 5inc Mana and as close to 60 mana as possible here.

Level 18 120ar, 5str, 5dex, 5replenish life, 40mana, 30light res OR 10fcr, 5str (or 5dex not both), 5 replenish life, 40mana, 30 single res + 30single res.

====================
Belts
====================
Rare Belts
====================
Rare belts will never net you a lot of forum gold. Set, Unique and Craft belts are simply better. Level 9 and Level 18 belts are simply too easy to gamble - skip over them. Level 30 belts are not worth much at all, same goes for Level 49 and HLD Belts. It is for this reason that if you do drop an unidentified rare belt, it has to be REALLY GOOD in order to sell. They all seek the same thing: fhr, life, strength.

Level 30 Rare Belts: 24fhr, 58-60Life, 8-9 Strength (or 5replenish life) and ideally with a useful resistance (Lightning or Cold)
Level 49 Rare Belts: 24fhr, 58-60Life, 14-15 Strength (or 9 Replenish Life) and ideally with a useful resistance (Lighting, Cold or Fire)
Level 50-99 Rare Belts: 24fhr, 58-60LIfe, 25-30strength, (or 8-9 Replenish Life)

====================
Set Belts
====================
As Set Belts are so common they are not worth much. I have listed the basic ones. Trang Oul's belt is worth "the most" (your looking for a 50mana roll), but its not worth a lot.

Death's Guard
Hsarus' Iron Stay
Sigon's Wrap (the Sigon set is typically sold as a single set for people that want to twink their characters)
M'avina's Tenet
Trang-Oul's Girth

====================
Unique Belts
====================
String of ears with damage reduced by 15% and magic damage reduced by 15% holds its value permanently, noting it is the main belt for Level 30 and Level 49 Duels.

String of Ears
Thundergods Vigor
Arachnid Mesh
Nosferatu's Coil
Verdungo's Hearty Cord

====================
Craft Belts
====================

Level 30 Crafted Caster Belts: 10fcr/24fhr 5 replenish life (or 20mana)
Level 30 Blood Belts: 24fhr, 10ow, 40life
Level 49-99 Crafted Caster Belts: 10fcr/24fhr/40-60Life, anything else (str/repl life) is a bonus
Level 49 Blood Belts: 24fhr 8-10ow, 60-80life, anything else (str/repl life) is a bonus
HLD Blood Belts: 24fhr, 8-10ow, 60-80life, 10-30strength. The closer to 80 life and 30 strength, the better.

Level 99 10fcr, 120ar, 20str, 9replenish life (or 40life), 90mana, 11all res OR a bowa ring might be: 9min, 40life (or 20str or 15dex), 9replenish life, 90mana, +11 all res

====================
Set Rings
====================
There is only 1 set ring worth anything and its not worth much as it drops all the time.

Angelic Halo Ring

====================
Unique Rings
====================
For decades the main ring, of course, was the Stone of Jordan. With the introduction of Opalvein, we have a new ring thats worth alot.

Dwarf Star
Ravenfrost (your looking for 250ar/20dex here)
Bul-Kathos' Wedding Band
Wisp Projector (looking for 20absorb here)
Opalvein

====================
Gloves
====================
Rare Gloves
====================
Rare gloves are a bit better then rare belts, in that they can spawn with +skills tab, and Increased attack speed, but for the most part, Set, Unique and Craft Gloves are simply better for most players. Level 9 and Level 18 gloves are simply too easy to gamble - skip over them. From levels 30-99 there are good combinations though.

Level 30 Gloves 2psm 10ias 4-5str 4-5dex (or switch a stat to 5replenish life) (5str and 5dex is max for this level)
Level 49 Gloves : 20ias 8-9str 14-15dex. Ideally with adds like: 2psm, mana, resistances (9str and 15dex is max for this level)
Level 50-99 Gloves : 2Java or 2MA, 20ias, Dual Res, Str/Dex. (15str/15dex is max)

====================
Set Gloves
====================
Immortal King Gloves
Laying of Hands
====================
Unique Gloves
====================
A perfect Steelrend is a great find. 60enhanced defense and 20strength, by far the best unique gloves to find.

Bloodfist
Chance Guards
Magefist
Frostburns
Steelrend -
Dracul's Grasp
====================
Crafted Gloves
====================
You are looking for Knockback Gloves (for Bowa) or Crushing Blow Gloves (for Melee Duels). There is some (not much) interest for level 30 and 49, but its really about high level for crafted gloves (just like rings).

Level 30 - Crafted Knock Back Gloves: 10ias, Knockback
Level 30 - Crafted Crushing Blow Gloves: 10ias, 8-10 Crushing Blow
Level 49 - Blood Craft: 20ias, 8-10 Crushing Blow, 18-20Life
Level 50-99 - Knock Back Gloves: 2Passive & Magic, 20ias, and then as close to 15str and 15 dex as you can get. (or 15single stat + replenish life or 30 single res, or Life Leech)
Level 50-99 - Crafted : 20ias and as close to : 15str, 15dex 10crushing Blow as you can get. bonus if it has enhanced defense as well.
