Classic Trades Thread II

[norvi11erogers]

is a Complete classic noobinoob. Tell me if I'm trying to get something way out of my league. This is classic ladder.

What I Have:
Vidala's bow
Soul Harvest scythe
Jade Tan Do kris
Two Artctic belts
Witherstring hunter's bow


What I Gotta Get:
Some so-so gloves
Some so-so boots
A three socketed helmet (Are these insanely expensive?)
A tarnhelm (I don't care about the MF...and I only need this if I can't afford a three socketed helmet, or something)
Sigon's tower shield - I'm guessing this is pretty expensive too...
Some belt

And a question - I've heard that the Vidala's boots/belt/gloves is excellent on zons - fact? I know that Vidala's has a big ole' res boost, but is it only three parts?

Hey what's up. 3 sock helms should be easy to come by... comb a cow game and you should get a level or two and likely a 3 socket helm as well. If you're not especially picky, and you have enough str, these are easy.

Vidala's set has no gloves or belt. Its amulet gets +50% mf when combined with another item, and its boots get 8% to all res. I like vid's boots due to the large stamina bonus for starting chars. Set information is probably best at the arreat summit. This is the link for vidala's information:

http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/sets/sets3.shtml#vidalas

Sigon's shield is not terribly expensive. It seems to be pretty much all i ever find, so if you're on west sc ladder, i'm sure i have one lying around that I can give to you.

If you're making a mfer, then it might be good to keep one of the arctic pieces around. The belt gets 40% mf with another item. Having just 2 rows for potions is sort of annoying, but it is an inexpensive choice for mf.

Ooh, thanks.
I guess I was thinking about Iratha's with the boots xD

Actually, this is East Softcore Ladder

I tried four or five cow games for three socket masks, but they all had two, so I stopped. I guess I'll get right back on it =)

If someone has some advice (FREEZ!) for me xD

Yeah seems everyone at this forum is east sc. meh, sry I couldn't help. gl.

 

[WarlockCC]

NL/europe/softcore

ISO
BANE ASH unique staff

Don't think I've ever seen one, but I'll keep my eyes peeled for yah.

pala +2 with mf (can be blue)

I think I have one of those.

+1pala, prism, mana leech (cant afford +2 prism I think)

These can get pretty expensive. I have some, but won't part with them cheaply. >

cheap +2 amulets (can be blue)

Any other mods needed ? And define cheap.

unique exec

That'll be hard to get in classic.

eye of etlich

I have some of those. Even a prelod one, though that one is not for trade.

nice dmg bonesnap

I guess by nice you mean more then the 201ed one I left in CS yesterday.
Somewhere I have a 267ed is one. Which is better then average, so probably qualifies as nice.

offer uniques mostly

Define uniques. brief list, bessides the below Gnashers, if you would be so kind. Then we can rendevous on a dark corner in a ill-lit street of battle.net

btw. I have a gnasher I dont use at the moment (I have two) - how much is it worth? 2 sojs? 1 soj?

Unless it happens to be a prelod(no level req, did they even drop back then ?) or a 1.09 one(3x ar in stead of 8 str). They don't really have much trading value unless somebody is in dire need of one. But if you aren't in a hurry to trade it, see what people offer for it. If you don't like the offer, or simply can't use it, cancel the trade. You can allways find another use for a Gnasher and it's better then feeling robbed by ending up with an item you are even less likely to use. Make sure you don't give in to the "plz plz plz" barriages that some people start off. They make a good offer, you trade, otherwise, they can take their sad stories to and cry on Alkara's broad, manly shoulders.

You don't have to be inhumanly cold to trade, but you should at least get something out of it.

 

[fledgeling]

meh, I gave away most of my unused/for trade items to a friend
I still have a spare gs

I was talking about heaven garbs, tearhunches, goblin toes, that cbf armor, the open wounds shield etc

what a pity you didnt take the bonesnap, I would love it even with the 201 ed

This is better addressed in the regular threads below, not in the trade thread. Go ahead and make a new thread and people can reply there.
Thanks

US East, Non-Ladder, Classic/Softcore.

Not sure what, if anything this stuff is worth. Open Trades considered:

I know, not as good as my other naga, but the elemental, and AR should in theory make it worth something?

I know, not a lot of staff sorcs around these days, but this one is a pretty decent blizzer stick.

only thing making this non-godly is no fhr in my humble opinion.

when equipped, I haven't seen a shield that looks quite like this one. it's a gold ring, around a bronze ring look to it, but obviously bigger than the tiny bucklers that a lot of dins wear.

Personally, I think I would shop around for a +2 sorc +3 bliz. staff.
Therefore, this might not be worth as much as you think and perhaps you should hold on to it and make a Blizz with it. You might feel jibbed if you do trade it for lower then you expect.

I usually compare res armors with goldskin. Skin does not have life, but it does have 35 res all and 80 str req, which I think make up for the lack of life in this case.

Certainly a nice shield, but quite a high str req for such a low def. 30/20 would have definately made it worth a SoJ or higher. Like this, one might be better off with a Ward. Though I admit, ward does lack fhr, hfd and reduce poison length. I would think this shield to be red-ish because of it's latter mod.

seriously, thanks for all of your thoughts, many mimic my own. I was thinking the same, but my lvl 89 blizzer honestly doesn't do any duelling to speak of, so this has just been occupying space in the stash. My thoughts were that even tho the blizzard is only +2/+2, that the +2 glacical spike would help in duelling by offering a harder hitting spike to spam with in between casting blizzard. *shrug*

I do too, in fact I don't attempt to maximze each and every skill/stat like many here do, and don't mind committing a couple of points to str to wear a gskin. This armor would probably be worth a bit more if it weren't as heavy as it is, but with the same mods. The -req is the only reason I kept it at all.

yeah, I have several towers, and a couple of bones with very similar mods, but lower str, this one isn't the typical purple color, actually that reddish bronze color, with a gold rim around it. It's very unique looking when equipped, and I get lots of questions about it. My blizzer, who used to wear it (and skin for solo mini-raids) is now wearing a fhr/30/20 prismatic spiked, with stacked fr (no socket yet)

for some reason, I have never liked wards, but that may be due in part to their physical size when packed. I do a LOT of gear switching depending on role, and often will use eyeless to teleport to end bosses, then switch to resisty shield for the actual confrontation...

thanks again for your input/thoughts.

anyone reading this, make an offer, I don't get offended (I just ignore offensive remarks) if you can use some of this gear, and/or we can come to terms great, if not, no harm - no foul.

Ah, style shield then. Worth more then imho.
I find style important, as such I have a Scythe barb wearing a PS socketed grim just for the look.
And I try to have my rings images matching.

I didn't mean to downtalk it, I just find it leaves a bitter taste to trade something for far less then it's worth for yourself.

As an example, along comes the absolute best battle-hammer you have ever found yourself and the first person you show it to types "sucks noob... i give angelic ring for it"
Then you will feel jibbed unless you keep it and perhaps one day use it.

while I'm a bit more careful, and a bit more patient in my trading, I'm more proud of the fact that I once had a legit find of a 3-4 soj worthy naga, than upset over the fact that I let it go for only one soj.

it's all about outlook, and I'm not a total slave to style items, unlike a pal of mine that tried for ever to get a completely matching green set up for his baba. so far, that he used a socketed a grim helm with an emmy even tho he didn't need the dex, and rightfully could have used other hats more effectively.

but, along the same lines, I have a wshell, it's unfortunately a topaz'ed one, instead of ruby/dia but at the same time, simply having one somehow changes things when items are in the trade window. it makes the noobs go "wow", and even the folks who have been around a little bit think a split second longer about trade terms.

getting that first soj also opens the door to better items in a hurry. suddenly, somehow the legit tri resist, fcr/leach ring that "sucked" just cause one of the resists wasn't in the 30s is now worth considering again... (as an example)
