Not really, IMO. There are far better places to farm for good skin items, and other nice stuff. Most of the people don't know that there are no such things as "Gold" Icy Dragon Swords, and they call you a scammer sometimes. Even now its not worth too much money, and it's difficult to find a buyer.

they go around 15k nowadays, I got one on my first try with a terratank build. It was a quick 15k for me, but I guess that was luck...

Default really?

i farm IDS's a whole lot on my monk with a sprint / rush / SoJ build, and it makes me a ton of money. i sell them relatively easily at 20K each, and i get them often enough. but that's just me.

You must be one lucky person then.

And about, "gold" IDSes, I'm sorry, I forgot that an update changed it so there's no more Blue Idses.

Dude, there are threads and threads on here, not to mention lots of information on the wiki, that you could easily look up in just a few minutes rather than asking to have every last thing explained. The search button is your friend.

It has the same stats, I can't imagine why it would be worth any less.

There are no blue IDS's in game, and there have never been purple ones. All the original blue IDS's obtained before the update that exempted them from loot scaling were changed to gold, and only gold IDS's can drop now.
