NEED HELP ANSWERING A QUESTION

[naga813]

hey i was wandering what it means when people say the items are expensive. or that is one of the most expensive rune words. do you buy the items on diablo or something with the gold you have.

 

[Trojan]

no it costs the most of the currency in d2 aka ists...

 

[naga813]

ok and what does that mean d2 aka ists? what they buy it with gold on the diablo game or what

 

[Khull]

No, it means as far as Diablo 2 items go, that peticullar one is worth the most... in terms of other Diablo 2 items.

For example: Tal Rasha's armor. Thats a very expensive item that goes for an ist rune or 2, Ist runes being very expensive also. Nobody buys their items with gold, thats just sillly.

Usually an expensive item is expensive because of the mods it has. A Soj for example had +1 to skills and adds a ton of extra mana, making it awsome for sorceresses, druids, trap assasins, and such. (These are also what people "sell" for real-world currency, on their sites)

Now an unexpensive, or worthless item, is the opposite. Lets take Nokozon Relic for example: In a nutshell it makes you immune to fire damage in Normal, thats pretty useless as it does little else. So people would generally give it away for free, as in not trade anything.

Does this clear it up at all?

ists are currency in diablo as money is in real life. a pop is worth a dollar, a tal rasha's armor costs a ist

 

[eternalnutties]

lol did tals armor go up? i always got mine for mal

 

[COTA-GoD]

what i said may or may not be true, it was just an example of how you would "buy" an item.

 

[xxtallguyxx]

basically ists are money in d2 so go get some ists

 

[Darkmatter]

It's easier said then done. They just don't drop like a whore makes babies, you know. They requrie a little effort to get, or more depending on how it goes these days for trading.

 

[xxtallguyxx]

no man its not old ladder runes are the currency

 

[Darkmatter]

So runes are easy to find? Please do enlighten us on this amazing discovery you have to prove me wrong.

Heh. I love you Sword Tip. I'm curious as to why no one moved this to Newbies only when it was made.
