Identifying Golds - Guild Wars Forums

samfrkl · Aug 03, 2011, 05:58 PM // 17:58

I just opened up the Zaishen chest 200 times to get my Zaishen Rank 3 and now I'm left with 56 unidentified gold items. Is it worth it to identify them (especially the really bad skins) or should I just sell the unidentified golds? I have no interest in the wisdom title. There are a couple good skins (fiery dragon sword, storm bow, and voltaic wand to name a couple). Thanks

If you have no interest in the wisdom title then your probably best off selling them to players as unidentified golds.

What about rare skins though? Is it better to identify them or just sell the skins unidentified?

If you plan on selling the weapon for the skin... id it and perfectly mod it for best results.

If you play PvE at all you should have some interest in the Wisdom title since it helps with salvaging. Maybe not to max the title, but to give a bit better odds of retaining items when doing a salvage.

Additionally, if you have any PvP characters, any mods you ID will be unlocked for use on PvP equipment. While you can find perfect mods on purples, they're more common on golds. Granted, you can unlock whatever mods you might need with Balthazar Faction, but considering the price of a Z-key, the faction might be worth more than the unID'd gold (unless it's a rare skin).
