[L] How badly did I stuff up?

[TrapperC]

So I was mfing with my summon necro and Baal dropped a HoZ with 197% ed. (I had no idea that was good).

I checked this price list (which I know is out of date):

Based on that I decided to ask for a Mal for it. I made a game called "HoZ 4 Mal".

Lots of people joined the game very quickly, and I considered bailing out and asking a higher price for it. But then some guy said "Mal here" and I just couldn't help myself.

Afterwards some of the many people in the game were asking "What ed was it?" and when they were told it was 197 they were all saying "lol, wtf, for a Mal?".

I got more than a sneaking impression I should have sold it for HR or 2 HR.

Even though I'll probably hate the answer, I'm going to ask:

How much profit did I lose by selling it for Mal?

*covers eyes while shaking head and calling myself a noob*

A Hoz in the high 18X ed range would net you 2hr+. I should think you could have gotten 4hr or more for yours. Bad luck.

Not really the place for this.

But... you probably could have fetched around five HRs for it.

Oh, on another note, Mal is valued as a HR, and therefore traded as a HR.

shifty:

Ouch. 4 HR's?! Damn.

But tyvm for the answer.

In my defense, I've recently been considering finally making a Hammerdin, and I've made a Spirit in a 39 all res Royal Shield that has 34% fcr. (Is that much worse than 35%, will it stop me reaching an fcr breakpoint?). So I'd kinda been thinking that that was better than any HoZ and that Hoz was perhaps over-rated.

But, ouch. 4 HR's you say?

In the unlikely event that I find another HoZ of that standard (this is the first HoZ I've ever found) I'll know better...

Live and learn, I suppose.

Thanks again for responding, shifty.

So what you're saying is that I really, really screwed up.

Oh, well, I'll know better next time.

Sometimes you gotta laugh.

D'Oh!
