When Trading Beats Farming
Community rule of thumb: if you need one specific mod (e.g., lightning res ring), buying costs 1–3 chaos. Crafting or alchemy-rolling vendors might cost more time and currency. Trade shines for targeted upgrades; farming shines for bulk currency and map sustain.
How to Sell Items
- Identify item, evaluate mods against build demand — resist plus life jewelry always sells.
- Price 10–20% below lowest competitor for fast sale; match lowest for patience.
- Uniques with popular build synergy move fastest in week one of league.
- Do not list white or useless rares — filter them out to save time.
How to Buy Safely
- Use official trade whisper system — travel to buyer hideout via interface.
- Verify item in trade window matches listing before accepting.
- For expensive purchases, double-check mod tiers and item level.
- Currency exchange is safer than direct player trades for orbs — use for standard conversions.
