Please check update of guide and tell me what do you think of it. If you think it's good, ok, if you think I've smoked too much medical marijuana, then tell me so. What are changes you would like to make in PC guide? Why? You should say why cause it will have direct impact on you, your trades and everything. Both you and I know that no matter what I say or do, what you say or do, that PC guide will make some subtle influences on values of items. Take notice of runes value. Is Cham = Ber/Jah for you? Is Sur = Lo for the most part? Also I need help in figuring out value of lower runes (Pul - Ist) in pgems.
Positive feedback, negative feedback, rants, shenanigans; everything is welcome as long as you have reasoning behind it. Your experience, past trades and so...
I know some items are still missing but I will update guide again and again in next couple of days, formating, adding some popular items (You think I've left something out? Tell me so.)
Old PC guide is in spoiler below if you want to compare old to new prices. New PC guide is here, and dicsuss changes you would want in same thread.

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.
Ral, Nef, Amn 1 pgem (and other crafting runes, with Ral being most popular and most valuable)
Hel 5 pgems
Lum-Ko 3 pgems
Fal 5 pgems
Lem 10 pgems
Pul 25 pgems
Um 45 pgems
Perfect Amethyst = 1.5 pgem
Perfect Skull and Perfect Ruby = 1.25 (sometimes)
Other runes are so common that they have next to no value and if demand happens they would be under 1 pgem per piece.
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.

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+

SMALL CHARMS
Code:

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+Vex-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.

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 10
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:
2 sinn/3 ls/2 os Greater Talons - Lo+
3 trap/3 ls/2 os Greater Talons - Ohm+Vex
3 trap/2 ls/2 os Greater Talons - Ohm+Ist
2 trap/3 ls/2 os Greater Talons - Vex+Gul/Ohm
NOTE
How to determine value of similar claws?
If it has only one socket cut value by half.
If it is other type then GT, cut value by half.
If it has 10 or 20 IAS double value, if it has 30 or 40 IAS value x 5.
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 Zod++ (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) – Ist+Mal
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) - Gul/Vex
1.07 ethereal 4 os Berserker Axe (Oath) - Ist
1.07 ethereal 4 os swords (Oath) - Mal
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/Mal
eth bugged 38-44 allresist Sacred Targe/Sacred Rondache Vex-Ohm+
eth bugged 45 allresist Sacred Targe/Sacred Rondache Lo++
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) - 2-5pgems
3 os/3 skill Matriarchal Bow (Melody) - 15-30 pgems
4 os/3 skill Matriarchal Bow (Harmony, Faith) - 20-40 pgems
4 os/3 skill Grand Matron Bow (Harmony, Faith) - Um+
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 prefered 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.
|||You did quite a job here!!!
This is great. I must admit prices are now more accurate than before.
I just think that you should include runewords in this guide. Put maybe 10 most useable runewords and their prices (Fort, Grief, CoH, Enigma, HotO, Faith...)
|||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).
|||Excellent work frozzen, the SPF could use one of these
