View Full Version : to keep or not to keep.
hi...this is my first post in the h/core forums.
i have a untwinked level 84 amazon. she is the highest amazon of the 3 i have played.
my question.
as i progress i am finding (what i think are good items), i have muled some of these items to another account i have just setup...but...really, i don't know what are/is a good item to keep for trading (my next amazon will be twinked for multiplay).
i have looked at the h/core trading forums but i am a bit bemused by it all.
so..are/is, eth chaos armour 450defence 4sockets worth keeping?. are high level jewels/rings/amulets worth keeping. do these type of things trade well, or should i just look for and keep set items to trade.
or...could somebody post a list of items i should look out for.
thx.

He really was just trying to help ya' out. Maybe he didn't know what they were worth and knew someone in the trade forums would. I sure as hell don't know if that chaos armor is worth keeping. I can't remember runewords worth crap. Maybe good for a stone? And the high jewels and jewelry could be good for trading, it just depends what they are.
Short answer no. trade forum might be a good place to ask but I dont see the harm asking here. A good way way to judge what to keep / junk is visit your realms trade channel and see what people are asking for. You can also browse this sites trade forum and see what people are trading / seeking. Good luck in your search
Edit: you may want to check your attitude when someone does offer you advice. He was correct in directing you to the proper forum , just because it wasnt the advice you wanted him was no reason for reply

there are only three types of things worth keeping, if u plan on getting rich in a hurry:
skillers (specifically these: any sork, pally combat)
sojs
runes
other than that, dont bother. the economy is just terrible at the moment, and noone will pay you good for most of the uniques you can find.
oh, and theres a couple more i should add to that list (but i'll be realistic; ive found more *** guys in real life than ive found these, which is to say close to zero)
maras
fathom
eth 800+ def armor (4 socks)
eth 4os polearms (elite)
550+ def 3 sock armors (pref archon)
these are the most "liquid" of the items in the game

thx very much, just what i was after.

what i have noticed is that when you do ask questions on these forums is the ammount of spam answers you get. also topics that should be a 'sticky' are not, so there are endless questions from beginers like me.

erm, spam is always good. NEVER insult TEH spam
and..
price checks usually go in the trade forums, but i agree noone ever answers them. i learned the prices i stated above because i hang out at the trade channel a lot.
Also trade value questions are ok on the HC trading forum, no need to go to the trade value forum.

It's exactly what your question was.
See not all questions are answered with spam. I answered Valar without any kind of food related comment.

Wait, so are you saying Spam is my question or Spam is some kind of food relation? You're confusing!
...Spam+1
im sorry if it felt like i was just "spamming your thread" but i was merely (as told) giving advice. its not (usually) well overlooked to ask trade related questions in other but trade forums, though its known that you can do it here. you just get better answers (and no spam ;)) in the trade forums.

spam
1. <messaging> (From Hormel's Spiced Ham, via the Monty Python
"Spam" song) To post irrelevant or inappropriate messages to
one or more Usenet newsgroups, mailing lists, or other
messaging system in deliberate or accidental violation of
netiquette.
It is possible to spam a newsgroup with one well- (or ill-)
planned message, e.g. asking "What do you think of abortion?"
on soc.women. This can be done by cross-posting, e.g. any
message which is crossposted to alt.rush-limbaugh and
alt.politics.homosexuality will almost inevitably spam both
groups. (Compare troll and flame bait).
Posting a message to a significant proportion of all
newsgroups is a sure way to spam Usenet and become an object
of almost universal hatred. Canter and Siegel spammed the net
with their Green card post.
If you see an article which you think is a deliberate spam, DO
NOT post a follow-up - doing so will only contribute to the
general annoyance. Send a polite message to the poster by
private e-mail and CC it to "postmaster" at the same address.
Bear in mind that the posting's origin might have been forged
or the apparent sender's account might have been used by
someone else without his permission.
The word was coined as the winning entry in a 1937 competition
to choose a name for Hormel Foods Corporation's "spiced meat"
(now officially known as "SPAM luncheon meat"). Correspondant
Bob White claims the modern use of the term predates Monty
Python by at least ten years. He cites an editor for the
Dallas Times Herald describing Public Relations as "throwing a
can of spam into an electric fan just to see if any of it
would stick to the unwary passersby."
Usenet newsgroup: news:news.admin.net-abuse.
See also netiquette.
2. (A narrowing of sense 1, above) To indiscriminately send
large amounts of unsolicited e-mail meant to promote a
product or service. Spam in this sense is sort of like the
electronic equivalent of junk mail sent to "Occupant".
In the 1990s, with the rise in commercial awareness of the
net, there are actually scumbags who offer spamming as a
"service" to companies wishing to advertise on the net. They
do this by mailing to collections of e-mail addresses,
Usenet news, or mailing lists. Such practises have caused
outrage and aggressive reaction by many net users against the
individuals concerned.
3. (Apparently a generalisation of sense 2, above) To abuse
any network service or tool by for promotional purposes.
"AltaVista is an index, not a promotional tool. Attempts to
fill it with promotional material lower the value of the index
for everyone. [...] We will disallow URL submissions from
those who spam the index. In extreme cases, we will exclude
all their pages from the index." -- Altavista.
4. <jargon, programming> To crash a program by overrunning a
fixed-size buffer with excessively large input data.
See also buffer overflow, overrun screw, smash the stack.
5. <chat, games> (A narrowing of sense 1, above) To flood any
chat forum or Internet game with purposefully annoying
text or macros. Compare Scrolling.

spam
vt.,vi.,n. [from "Monty Python's Flying Circus"] 1. To
crash a program by overrunning a fixed-size buffer with excessively
large input data. See also buffer overflow, overrun screw,
smash the stack. 2. To cause a newsgroup to be flooded with
irrelevant or inappropriate messages. You can spam a newsgroup with
as little as one well- (or ill-) planned message (e.g. asking "What
do you think of abortion?" on soc.women). This is often done with
cross-posting (e.g. any message which is crossposted to
alt.rush-limbaugh and alt.politics.homosexuality will almost
inevitably spam both groups). This overlaps with troll behavior;
the latter more specific term has become more common. 3. To send many
identical or nearly-identical messages separately to a large number
of Usenet newsgroups. This is more specifically called `ECP',
Excessive Cross-Posting. This is one sure way to infuriate nearly
everyone on the Net. See also velveeta and jello. 4. To bombard
a newsgroup with multiple copies of a message. This is more
specifically called `EMP', Excessive Multi-Posting. 5. To
mass-mail unrequested identical or nearly-identical email messages,
particularly those containing advertising. Especially used when the
mail addresses have been culled from network traffic or databases
without the consent of the recipients. Synonyms include UCE,
UBE. 6. Any large, annoying, quantity of output. For instance,
someone on IRC who walks away from their screen and comes back to
find 200 lines of text might say "Oh no, spam".
The later definitions have become much more prevalent as the
Internet has opened up to non-techies, and to most people senses 3 4
and 5 are now primary. All three behaviors are considered abuse of
the net, and are almost universally grounds for termination of the
originator's email account or network connection. In these senses
the term `spam' has gone mainstream, though without its original
sense or folkloric freight - there is apparently a widespread myth
among lusers that "spamming" is what happens when you dump cans of
Spam into a revolving fan.
