identifying purple and up - Guild Wars Forums

Is it better for resale value to sell unidentified gold/purple things or identified gold/purple things. I identify using superior identification kit.

Mate, don't get snippy because people don't just jump to answer you.

As for your question, you know using a normal ID kit is the same as a superior ID kit right? The Sup just has more uses. Oh, and are you planning on selling to players or merchants?

If selling to merchants... did you know if you id an item that's id'ed the value will go up? It's easy to try.. go out and get a white drop.. look at what price a merchant will give for it then id it.. the amount a merchant will give you will go up.

as for players - you'll likely get more money selling id'ed items if the mods are decent/good. If they arre crap mods.. chances are you'll not get much. But people nowdays are hesitant to buy un-id'ed as it's so easy to test mods... that people will assume you've tested the mods and that they are garbage mods.. and thus why your selling un-id'ed.

For gods sake PLEASE ID your stuff and don't spam the trade channel with unided crap. This is a growing problem not to mention the fact that most people won't buy unided stuff because chances are it has already been tested. If you do sell unided stuff sell it for the fact that someone may want to unlock items with them and , don't ask godly prices for it. Just sell for around 10k and less to people that want to unlock items for PvP. If you ask for more then all you are doing is trying to gamble someone out of there hard earned gold. Now what kind of person would take advantage of another????? LOL (no need to answer that, I am sure we all know the answer)...LoL

*Applause for Stealthy Trapper*. I will not buy any unid'ed item. ID it, sell it, give it away, trade it whatever but leave us alone with this spamming of unid'ed stuff.. thank you

Some people buy UN'identifed items and moves them to another account, to be easily to open PVP items.

You can't trust those unidentified weapons, especially after that trick to see what mods they have.

bongo-666 · Feb 16, 2006, 04:01 PM // 16:01

how do they test em anyway?

heavy metal rules · Feb 16, 2006, 04:15 PM // 16:15

I will never and have never bought an un'id weapon, you'll find SOME of those farmers that just come up to you and open up the trade window, that their items are un'id. Worst thing you can possibly do is buy something un'id.

As far as testing they'll equip it to see if its a +hp mod equipped to it. thats all. And they'll increase their price for that said item..

che gevarra · Apr 02, 2006, 12:45 AM // 00:45

oh, so suppose i have 400hp, i take an unid sword on me, then my hp maybe will be ^ 400hp?

Maria The Princess · Apr 02, 2006, 04:55 AM // 04:55

or go in area, and see if its zealots or vamp mode. vamp youll get -1 hp deg, and +?hp/hit (youll see as attaking) and zealots -1 mana and +1/hit (youll see as attaking)

Sell them as IDed.

Note: Superior ID kit has no difference from regular ID kit except it has more charges, and costs 25g more per 25 charges(100 ids. with regular ID kits would cost you 400g, while as 100 with superior will cost you 500g.)
