SPTF Price Check guide 1.13c Edition

SP(T)F Price Check guide 1.13c Edition

NOTE #1
This guide is not a fixed price list. It gives a guide price based on the average SP user. Values will vary from the values given – up and down - depending on the needs of buyers and/or generosity/wealth of sellers. If there are more people interested in item, prices will be more then it says here and again, if you try to force yourself to trade item, letting it go cheap, don't expect too high value. Save your item for better day.

NOTE #2
In present time the values of the items varies more than ever. With Blizzard introducing version 1.13c and increased rune drops, runes have become MUCH easier attainable. Values will vary and the value will not always equate to or be proportionate to the rarity of the item (runes especially).

NOTE #3
The SP economy is very different to the Bnet economy. Some members of the SP(T)F have accrued wealth over many years. The lack of resets means some items will be able to command a very high price. This can be especially true of rares, crafts and really high end uniques.

RUNES AND CURRENCY

The SPTF has no official currency. Despite this, prices have been given values in terms of perfect gems (henceforth dubbed "pgems" (these also include PSkulls) as well as runes, as these are (more often than not) the preferred methods of payment.

Crafting runes are worth only portion of pgem. Probably somewhere 1/5 - 1/3 of pgem.

Um 25 Pgems
Mal 40 Pgems
Ist 80 Pgems
Gul 100 Pgems
Vex 180 Pgems

Perfect Amethyst = 1.5 pgem
Perfect Skull and Perfect Ruby = 1.25 (sometimes)

SPECIAL NOTE ON HIGH RUNES

There is no most valuable rune in SP(T)F. It VASTLY depends on who are trading with. Most useful runes would be Ber, Jah and Lo, but that doesn't mean that they are more valuable then Cham and Zod. Once again it depends on who are you dealing with and it is always good idea to ask in price check trade for opinion. That thread is there for reason – use it.
It should also be said that the source of the rune may have an effect on it's percieved value. Two examples are: Hell Forge Rushing can seem to diminish the value of a rune and a newer trader may seem to diminish the value of an item.

Trading high runes vs high runes

Like said above, there isn't most valuable rune across SP(T)F trading scene. Due to recent trades and observations from multiple members we have rough draft of rune values starting from Lo.
I added most popular opinions for rune values, based on discussion we had in this thread. Both opinions had good arguments and reasons why values range from this to that number, and it would be foolish to ignore any of them. Tnx for input guys, really appreciated

Code:

------------------------------------
|      |    Fabian   |    Greebo   |
|      | range | avg | range | avg |
------------------------------------
| Lo   | 32    |  32 | 32    |  32 |
| Sur  | 30-38 |  34 | 30-38 |  34 |
| Ber  | 54-62 |  58 | 64-72 |  68 |
| Jah  | 62-72 |  67 | 72-80 |  76 |
| Cham | 34-42 |  38 | 34-42 |  38 |
| Zod  | 62-72 |  67 | 72-80 |  76 |
------------------------------------

Main difference is way how runes Sur and Cham are valued against rune one lvl above. As you can see some consider 2 Sur = Ber and 2 Cham = Zod on average, while others think that 2 Sur > Ber and 2 Cham > Zod slightly.
* Also it has come to my observation that most people threat Cham = Ber/Jah so bear that in mind when trading.

CHARMS

NOTE #1
Instead of classic value per skiller will be sorted in several Tiers and sorted from most valuable to least.

NOTE #2
Some skillers with very high life may have special value to certain people and you could get much more then in PC guide.

GRAND CHARMS

Code:

Tier1: Fungal , Chilling, Sparkling, Harponist's
Tier2: Burning, Entraping, Lion Branded

Tier2 (5-20life) Um-Ist
Tier3 (5-20life) Pul-Mal+
Tier4 (5-20life) 20pgems-Um 
Tier5 (5-20life) ~15 pgems

Tier1 (21-30life) Gul-Ohm
Tier2 (21-30life) Ist-Vex+
Tier3 (21-30life) Mal-Gul

Tier4 (31-40life) ~Ist
Tier5 (31-40life) ~Mal

Tier1 (41-45life) Auction charms (1.5 Ber/Jah+)

Tier3 (41-45life) Ohm-Lo
Tier4 (41-45life) Ist+Mal/Gul
Tier5 (41-45life) Mal+Um++

Of Balance (12fhr) sufix means like 25-30 life suffix
Of Inertia (7frw) suffix is valuable on some builds and might go higher.
Harponist's of Inertia Ist+Mal
Fungal of Inertia Mal+Um/Ist
Str/Dex can go up to 6 and translate that in life for certain classes
to get their value, but they are not so popular

Code:

8+MAX/xxAR/ < 20life Um+
8+MAX/xxAR/ 21-30life Um-Ist+Mal
8+MAX/xxAR/ 31-39life Ist+Mal-Vex
8+MAX/xxAR/ > 40life Vex-Ohm+

SMALL CHARMS

Code:

5 allresist small charm Um/Um+Pul
20 life small charm 15 pgems
7MF small charm 15 pgems
6MF small charm 5 pgems


3+MAX/xx AR/  < 10 Life 10-30 PGems
3+MAX/xx AR/ 11-14 Life Um-Ist
3+MAX/xx AR/ 15-18 Life Gul-Ohm
3+MAX/xx AR/ 19-20 Life Ohm-Lo/Sur

+2 max dmg means you can divide values by about 3-4 times. 
High AR is not very important, it can vary the price by maybe 10% either way.
A near perfect 3/(17-20)/20 SC might be worth significantly more. 


Mana/life small charms

Mana+life> 25 Mal
Mana+life> 30 Ist/Gul
Mana+life> 34 Ohm+

Life/resist small charms


15 - 18life / 4/5 allres Vex – Lo/Sur
15 - 18life / 10/11 LR - Gul - Ohm
15 - 18life / 10/11 FR – Gul - Ohm 
15 - 18life / 10/11 CR - Ist - Vex
15 - 18life / 10/11 PR – Ist - Vex

19, 20life / 4/5 allres - Lo-Ber/Jah
19, 20life / 10/11 LR – Ohm-Lo/Sur
19, 20life / 10/11 FR – Ohm-Lo/Sur
19, 20life / 10/11 CR – Vex-Ohm
+20life // 10/11 PR – Vex-Ohm
 
6/7MF // 4,5 allresist - Vex-Lo/Sur+
6/7MF // 7,8,9 FR LR – Ist - Vex
6/7MF // 10,11 FR LR – Vex-Ohm+
6/7MF // 7,8,9 CR PR – Mal-Gul
6/7MF // 10,11 CR PR – Gul-Vex+

Note that people HIGHLY prefer 7MF small charms,
 so their value might be a lot higher then 6MF scs.

JEWELS

NOTE
Here will be only section only for magic jewels. You can see what afixes are wanted and try to get value of rare jewels yourself (or as always ask in PC thread).
Only most popular jewels are here.

Code:

Jewel of Envy (no req lvl) 3-5 pgems (could be more with good bonuses)

25-30 ED / 15 IAS - Ist-Vex
30-35 ED / 15 IAS - Vex-Lo/Sur
35-40 ED / 15 IAS – Lo/Sur-Ber/Jah (perfect ones cah go MUCH higher)

5-10 allresist / 15 IAS - Um-Gul+
10-20 LR FR / 15 IAS – Um-Mal
10-20 CR PR / 15 IAS – Um-Mal

11-14 allresist / 15 IAS - Gul-Lo

11-14 allresist / -15 req Vex-Lo/Sur
15 allresist / -15 req Ber/Jah

5-10 allresist / 7 fhr - Um-Gul
11-14 allresist / 7fhr - Vex-Lo
15 allresist / 7 fhr - Ber/Jah

MAGIC ITEMS

CIRCLETS

Code:

2 sorceress/20 fcr/2 os circlet/coronet/tiara/diadem - Ohm
3 fire/20 fcr/2 os circlet/coronet/tiara/diadem - Ohm
3 lite/20 fcr/2 os circlet/coronet/tiara/diadem - Vex
3 cold/20 fcr/2 os circlet/coronet/tiara/diadem - Vex
2 necro/20 fcr/2 os circlet/coronet/tiara/diadem – Lo/Sur
3 p&b/20 fcr/2 os circlet/coronet/tiara/diadem – Ber/Jah 
2 sinn/20 fcr/2 os circlet/coronet/tiara/diadem – Ohm+
3 trap/20 fcr/2 os circlet/coronet/tiara/diadem – Vex
2 druid/20 fcr/2 os circlet/coronet/tiara/diadem - Vex
3 ele/20 fcr/2 os circlet/coronet/tiara/diadem - Vex
2 pala/20 fcr/2 os circlet/coronet/tiara/diadem - Ohm
3 os/30 FRW circlet/coronet/tiara/diadem – 2 Ber/Jah (or higher)

NOTE
If they have no sockets decrease value 4 times.
If only one socket by 8-16 time.
Still it's next to impossible to find buyers for one socketed.

1.07 BUGGED MPK RINGS

Code:

10-20 mpk - Um
21-35 mpk - Um-Ist
36,37 mpk - Ist+Mal or more

NOTE
With 10 fcr suffix multiply value by 20 or even more

GLOVES

Code:

3 passive/20 IAS - Pul
3 java/20 IAS - Ist+Mal+
3 bow/20 IAS - Pul
3 MA/20 IAS - Pul

TRAP CLAWS

Code:

+5 LS/2os GT – Ber/Jah (it might go for more)
+5 LS/2os (random claw) – Vex-Lo (depending on claw)
+5 LS/1os GT - Vex-Ohm
+5LS/1os (random claw) – Mal-Gul
NOTE
Bear in mind that really high end claws will go VERY high, where claws that are 
Close, probably won’t.
Claws are very delicate area and good ones are very rare, where there is
a lot *close but not quite* claws.
If claw has IAS, it can increase value quite a lot
Overall the more skills your claw is giving the more valuable it is,
so 2 assassin skills > 3 trap skills.

SHIELDS

Code:

JmoD (Jeweler's Monarch of Deflecting)
PRICELESS (you can get anything for it if you have one for trade)

SOCKETED ITEMS

HELMS

Code:

Diadem (plain for imbue quest) - 5 pgems
3 os Mask (for envy jewels) - 2-5 pgems

ARMORS

Code:

3 os Dusk Shroud (450-467 defense) (Duress, Treachery…) - 20-30 pgems
4 os Dusk Shroud (450-467 defense) (CoH, Fortitude…) - 20-30 pgems
3 os Archon Plate (500-524 defense) (Duress, Treachery…) - 30 pgems/Um
4 os Archon Plate (500-524 defense) (CoH, Fortitude…) – Um-Mal+

NOTE
It mainly comes to preference.
I would always take Dusk vs Archon because of lower req.
Archon Plate is still more popular.
Very high/near perfect defense ones might go much higher.

eth bugged 3 os ethereal Archon Plate (+1100 defense) (merc Treachery) – Um-Mal
eth bugged 4 os ethereal Archon Plate (+1100 defense) (merc Fortitude) - Ist+
eth bugged 3 os ethereal Sacred Armor (+1300 defense) (merc Treachery) - Mal
eth bugged 4 os ethereal Sacred Armor (+1300 defense) (merc Fortitude) – Vex

NOTE
Again it comes to what will people want for their base.
SA has highest defense of all armors and str req will be reached eventualy,
while AP has low str req and good defense.

NOTE
Other armors also have value, but those are prefered for light type
and high defense. When you compare it to other armors ask yourself:
Is str req too high?
Is it light type of armor (heavy armors reduce your walk/run speed)?
What is defense/str req ratio?

WEAPONS

Code:

3 os Phase Blade (Crescent Moon, Lawbringer) - 10 pgems
4 os Phase Blade (Passion) - 10 pgems
5 os Phase Blade (Grief) 15-20 pgems

eth 4 os elite swords (Oath) - 30-40 pgems

NOTE
Most people will want 1.07 base for their Oath anyway.

1.07 ethereal 5 os Berserker Axe (Grief/Beast) – Vex/Ohm
1.07 ethereal 4 os Berserker Axe (Oath) - Ist
1.07 ethereal 4 os swords (Oath) – Mal
1.07 ethereal 4 os polearms (thresher, GPA, CA) - Vex

ASSASSIN CLAWS

Code:

NOTE #1
It is very difficult to say what would be price of certain claws
since every individual wants it's own stafmods, so I'll list keepers.
Prefered stafmods, in order of importance are: Lightning Sentry, Mind Blast,
Venom, Weapon Block, Shadow Master, Blade Shield, Wake of Fire...
Some claws with multiple good stafmods can be VERY valuable.

NOTE #2
Type of claw is also very important and can make or break your Chaos claw.
Prefered claw types are Runic Talons, Greater Talons, Suwayyah,
Feral/Greater claws in order of preference.

Most popular choices are:
+3 LS Runic/Greater Talons
+3 Mind Blast Runic/Greater Talons
+3 Venom Runic/Greater Talons

SHIELDS

Code:

4 os Monarch - 15 pgems

PALADIN SHIELDS

Code:

40-44 allresist Sacred Targe/Sacred Rondache - 20-40 pgems
45 allresist Sacred Targe/Sacred Rondache – 60 pgems-Ist

eth bugged 38-44 allresist Sacred Targe/Sacred Rondache – Ohm-Lo/Sur
eth bugged 45 allresist Sacred Targe/Sacred Rondache – Ber/Jah

NOTE
Those two are most popular choices cause of % blocking and str req.
Other, elite shields (eg Vortex Shield)might be popular for Exile base
cause of their high defense.

BOWS

Code:

5 os Long Bow (jewels of Envy) - pgems
3 os/3 skill Matriarchal Bow (Melody) - Um
4 os/3 skill Matriarchal Bow (Harmony, Faith) – Ist
4 os/3 skill Grand Matron Bow (Harmony, Faith) - Ist

NOTE
Superior (up to 15% ed/+3AR) can increase value of those bows quite a lot,
especially for Faith bases.

VALUE OF RARES AND CRAFTS

NOTE #1
Rares and crafts have potential to be best items in game and for some items price can be extreme. Best way of making some value of your rare item is to compare it to set or unique item in same slot.
Often times you will compare your amulets with Mara's Kaleidoscope – it gives 2 all skills nice stats and huge resist, so if you have something better then you probably have something nice. Feel free to ask for opinion in PC thread since they are very hard to value.

Rare circlets can be compared to plain blue circlets above. Some mods that would help would be stats, life/mana and resistances. Resistances on all items will be sought in this order: allresist, fire/lightning equally, cold and last poison resist. This will aplly for all items, not just circlets. Str is often preferred to dex in stat department.

Rings are split up in two categories – caster and melee rings. For caster ring 10 fcr is a MUST, it won't work without it. Next best attributes would be allresist/good resist, stats, life/mana and MF in some cases. Melee characters like life and mana leech, AR and rest is mostly str/life etc. As always you can't miss with resistances. PLR is also decent add especially for ES sorceress.

Caster amulets are very popular and good ones can net you nearly any item. On those you are looking to get 2 to character skill level or 2 to some specific skill trees (but character skill are always preferred) and faster cast rate. Even some lower cast rate (5-9) can be useful if other mods are decent, but what you really want is 10 fcr or more. 2skill/10fcr with some good mods can beat Mara's Kaleidoscope and with 15-20 fcr they become godly. Other good mods are resistances, stats, life, mana and MF.

Rare/crafted weapons are most often not able to compete with Oath or more and more common Grief. If you have weapon comparable to those then it must be outstanding and worth ton. Aside from good base and nice ED good mods to seek are IAS, fools mod, sockets ethereal + self repair etc.

Boots – rare boots are very different from unique boots and can often beat unique boots so, they are worth checking. Boots are one of rare sources of FRW (up to 30) so this is good starting point. They can spawn with resistances (up to 40 to single resist meaning they can give you 120 resist in total). Other good mods are fhr (essential for PvP), dex for maxblock characters and MF (up to 25).

Belts – rare belts are rarely good enough to stand to unique belts – they can't spawn with fcr (unless you craft caster belts them) or MF and rarely will they beat Verdungo in stat/fhr department. Crated have higher chance of beating rares. You should look for fhr (up to 24), life, str (dex can't spawn on belts) combined with craft bonuses like fcr or open wounds. Always ask in PC thread if you think that you got good belt because they are very rare.

Gloves are used for IAS mostly. To have really high value they either need to have great resistances + MF or 20 IAS + some wanted mods that people are after. For some classes like amazon gloves can spawn with skills. You want those. 2 java/ 20 IAS gloves are mostly sought after. Most popular are crafted 2/20 with crushing blow and leech.
For zon gloves you need: skills, IAS (those are must), life/mana leech, resistances and MF.
Crated hit power gloves spawn with knockback – useful for most bow amazon types and blood crafts that can spawn with 10% crushing blow. CB gloves would be best to compare with LoH.

Disclaimer

With blessing from Thy (and some edits too) I think it's time to let this roll. This PC guide still needs YOUR opinion on values and prices of some/most items. Values in PC guide are high, and only way to set prices for some items is for you to help me value those.
Those values are only my opinion and some kind of start; they may be low or high and you don't want to have inaccurate PC guide. Please give some input on value of certain items and way to improve first and last section of a guide.

There are possible grammar errors and inconsistencies that needs to be found and edited, so help me in this department too

If you don't agree with some value simply copy item, change it's value, highlight it and give small feedback on why in your post below. If you see item that I missed and that should be put in guide just do the same.

Spoiler

Note to Thy: You will have to explain once more Lite facet stuff, it might be me but I think -res is wanted on fire/psn just like on lite. Anyway, you also have to contribute to this (again).

I want to thank you for putting this together - very comprehensive and easy to access! BRAVO!

One quick suggestion - can you add prices for some other affixes for Grand Charms? I'm of the understanding that Scintillating and Serpent's are sought-after prefixes. Also, can you put together something for socketed/socketable items?

**TemplarRoadkill** · 27-07-2010, 17:56

nice guide and a nice update to Sebbz since the runevalue has dropped dramatically in last couple of months! Anyway for my 5c...

BOOTS
War Traveler (30-40MF) - 15-25 pgems
War Traveler (40-45MF) - Um/Mal
War Traveler (45-49MF) - Mal/Ist
War Traveler (50MF) - Gul+
Gore Rider 10-20 - pgems
Sandstorm Trek (random) - 10-15 pgems
Sandstorm Trek (15str) - 15-25 pgems
Sandstorm Trek (15str/15vit) - Mal/Ist
Sandstorm Trek (perfect) - Vex+
Shadow Dancer (random roll) - 40 pgems
Shadow Dancer (2/20dex+) - Mal/Ist
Shadow Dancer (2/25dex) - Vex+

I think it would be worth mentioning the Ethreal modifier on the Sandstorm's since it has a self repair suffix

Many thanks to frozzzen for all the effort that went into this. Really appreciated.

I don't know if it would help but this thread and the threads linked in the first page had some useful ideas as to what to keep. Maybe the information in there (helvete's was particularly good) would help? Or not.

Please let me know if you want this Guide UnStickied so people find it more easily.

First of all, slight typo on this one. The second h on higher appears to have been eaten by the squid.

And I was going to say that since Tstrokes does not have self replenish like Titans does, being eth might actually lower the value. But now that I think about it, since javelins don't have durability, as long as you stick to melee attacks and don't throw them ever, the extra %ED from being eth would be a bonus, and eth versions might have more trade value afterall.

So I guess just correct the typo on higer and the listed value could probably stay the same.

**BobTheWarrior** · 29-07-2010, 13:41

My 2 cents:

Code:

Tal Rasha's Guardianship - Um
Tal Rasha's Adjudication - Um
Full Tal's - Mal

I've seen these two parts go individually for Um or the pgem equivalent recently. Also, the full set has been traded a few times at about Mal, could be worth adding.

Great guide!

I thought throwing weapons lost quantity when used for melee.

Tnx for input guys. I'll see if I can confirm all those things and will make major update in Monday - adding socket list and correcting things you said (can't now for weekend since parent are at home and I don't have too much time for Diablo and PC in general).

I also want more critics

**zerth** · 01-08-2010, 12:48

Excellent work frozzen, the SPF could use one of these

On top of what the others have suggested Darkforce Spawn should be dependent on roll. In my opinion:

Code:

3 pnb -> Mal-Gul
3 pnb / 3 summon / 3 curses -> Vex+

Otherwise, it looks pretty solid. I have to say that the existence of this guide alone will lessen trades of good gear for a low price because of limited interest, which is a good thing. I know I have gotten a couple of sweet items ridiculously cheap in the past due to limited display of interest...
