This is a rough draft of an Item Guide that I am writing. I will probably have to find a way to point at chase item so people have a better idea of whats truly worth keeping. If anyone wants to help with this just fill in the blanks AND I WILL CONSIDER adding your inputs.

Without further ado :

I am using this space to create a price guide / item guide for all things d2rotw. once its completed to my satisfaction i will post it on d2jsp.
The prices listed here will be based on NON-LADDER prices.
The aim is to create wider awareness in the player pool as to the value of items, and what items are worth keeping to sell.

Broad overview of PvP Brackets:

Level 9 - Melee. Your looking for GG jewels here - so ensure you ID ALL rare Jewels you find. (afaik a jewel sold for 75,000fg)
2024 Trophy Room Thread: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=102963342&f=103
Level 18 - Pretty much a dead bracket - a good amulet, or weapon can sell for alot (afaik a bow sold for 50,000fg)
2024 Trophy Room Thread: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=103001650&f=103
Level 30 - Active dueling bracket, in particular on NA, where items have sold for in excess of 100,000fg (Circlets, Bows, amulets)
2024 Trophy Room Thread: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=103426900&f=103&o=0
Level 49 - Smaller dueling bracket, based in EU, more modest prices (2000-20,000fg) however some items have dual use at HLD. Orb sold for 215,000fg
Level 99 - Massive dueling bracket, EU, NA and Asia. prices on perfection have gone over 250,000fg
High Level PvM - Gigantic Player base, EU, NA and Asia. prices on perfection have gone over 250,000fg

TLDR: if its one of the rare bases listed below, ID it. if its one of the magic bases listed below, ID it. If its an ETH rare item, ALWAYS ALWAYS unid it. Every time you are playing the game, and you see a rare or magic item, you are playing the lottery. Some of you will find the right "ticket" and win. Some of you will keep playing, picking up more and more winning tickets. and everyone once in a while, someone will pick up that 250,000fg winning ticket.

Item Slot
=========
Unidentified Rare Boots - 9, 18, 30, 49, 99, PVM
Unidentified Rare Rings - 9, 18, 30, 49, 99, PVM
Unidentified Rare Belts - 9, 18, 30, 49, 99, PVM
Unidentified Rare Gloves - 18, 30, 49, 99, PVM
Unidentified Rare Shields - 9, 18, 30, 49, 99, PVM
Unidentified Rare Armor's - 9, 18, 30, 49, 99, PVM
Unidentified Rare Weapons - 9, 18, 30, 49, 99, PVM
Unidentified Rare Amulets - 9, 18, 30, 49, 99, PVM
Unidentified Rare Circlets - 9, 18, 30, 49, 99, PVM
=========

The way this guide works is as follows: You are playing the game. A rare (OR MAGIC!) item drops. You DO NOT skip it. You pick it up and ID it. You have NO IDEA if it is worth anything.

You check the Level Requirement. LVL 9-18-30-49,99, PVM you cross reference the item in the corresponding item type section to see if it meets the minimum criteria. If it does not meet the minimum criteria, you drop it. As an example:

Example 1: a RARE Composite Bow drops. You ID it. 20ias 400ed 2sox. wow looks cool! It is level 48. Skip 9-18-30. Check 49 Bows. 49 Bows are : Shadow, Matri, Spider & Blade. i.e. wrong base. not a MLD item. Now check 99. Everyone says Faith or Windforce are the only bows. This bow is rare. Charsi right? No. PvM section: 400ed 20ias ANY rare bow base - keep to sell. There are Rare bow leagues, and this bow would sell for that.

Example 2: lets try another one. You see a rare RING. you ID it. 9str 5repl 90mana. some other random mods. Level 29. Go straight to the Level 30 Bracket. 9str 5repl 90mana. Keep.

Example 3: A magic orb (of any type) drops. 3fire/20fcr/3fb. lvl 62. check magic orbs category - 3/20/3 - keep and sell.

BOOTS

Level 9 and 18 are weak, Level 30 can sell well, Level 49 does not sell well and HLD/PvM can sell extremely well.

Level 9 Boots

Rare
10FHR, 15ATTACK RATING, 40ENHANCED DEFENCE, 3DEXTERITY. These are easily farmed and therefore are not worth much.
Ideally what you are looking for is ETH, SELF REPAIR, 10FHR, ATTACK RATING, ENHANCED DEFENCE and 3DEXTERITY.

Level 18 Boots

Rare

20FRW, 3DEXTERITY, DUAL or TRI-RESISTANCES (If Dual or Tri-Res there are more likely to sell to PvM players).
(typically players will use COW KINGS HOOVES - 30FRW/25-35 FIRE DAMAGE, 35DEFENSE, 20DEXTERITY, 25MF).

Level 30 Boots

Rare


30FRW/10FHR/5DEXTERITY with +20MANA and/or single or dual resistance 30+. (Light/Cold Ideally).
30FRW/TRI-RES 30+ Resistances. (+GOLD FIND / + MAGIC FIND) These are bought by PvM players and the closer to 40 on each Resistance, the more FG you can make. (Chase Item).
(vLLD-MLD takes place in NORMAL DIFFICULTY. It is a Myth that these brackets seek alot of resistances).
The modifier, Half Freeze Duration is also sought.

Crafted

10FRW/10FHR/18-20LIFE/10REPLENISH LIFE + 10-20 SINGLE RESISTANCE. 4 Mods will usually result in Item Level over lvl 30.
10FRW/10FHR/18-20MANA/5%INCREASED MANA/REGENMANA10% + 10-20 SINGLE RESISTANCE. 4 Mods will usually result in item Level over lvl 30.

Level 49 Boots

Rare Boots are not popular at MLD and are more likely to be sold to PvM Players

Rare

30FRW/10FHR/8-9DEXTERITY/35-40MANA + SINGLE or DUAL RESISTANCE
30FRW/TRI-RES 30+ Resistances. (+GOLD FIND / + MAGIC FIND) These are bought by PvM players and the closer to 40 on each Resistance, the more FG you can make. (Chase Item).

Crafted

20-30FRW/10FHR/35--40MANA/5%INC MANA/REGEN10/ Resistance is Gravy but not needed.
20-30FRW/10FHR/35-40LIFE/10REPLENISH LIFE/ Resistance is Gravy but not needed.

HLD 99 Boots

30FRW/55--60MANA/5%INC MANA/REGEN8-10 + 9DEXTERITY/SINGLE RES/10FHR
30FRW/10FHR/18-20LIFE/14-15REPLENISH LIFE/ Resistance is Gravy but not needed.

There is a big difference in price between 14 and 15 Replenish life here and the Mana boots are NOT popular.

As outlined, for PvM players look for 30FRW, TRI-RES with Gold/Magic Find as close to perfection as possible.

In this regard, ALL Rare Boots should be ID'd, cross reference the above based on the Level Required for the boots you found. Also, If the Boots are ETHEREAL with the SELF-REPAIR Mod, and has the basic's of the above, with Enhanced Defense, the Value could be very good.
