The video is a comprehensive guide for trading and item valuation in "Diablo 2 Resurrected," targeting both new and returning players. It highlights that gold is not used for trading due to its ease of acquisition; instead, rare runes serve as the primary currency. The value of these runes hinges on their usefulness and the principles of supply and demand. High-level runes cannot be downgraded, but lower ones can be combined to form higher runes.
Perfect rolls, especially for significant modifiers like Faster Cast Rate (FCR) in a spirit rune word, greatly impact an item's value. Items with broad applications, such as small charms providing plus life, fetch higher prices due to their universal demand. Crafting materials, including jewels and low-level runes, and constant demand items like Uber keys and essences, hold substantial value. The video addresses trading strategies, emphasizing the variable worth of items across different game seasons, and advises retaining commonly traded items and basic currencies such as perfect gems.
The guide also delves into the logistics of trading, detailing chat commands for effective communication and methods to authenticate items, while cautioning against common scams like item swapping. Additional tips include leveraging mule characters for extra storage and maintaining fair pricing for a smooth economic exchange. Viewers are encouraged to prioritize their time wisely over seeking perfect trades. The video ends with an invitation for feedback and offers further resources through a Twitch channel and the Diablo 2 Resurrected wiki for additional support.

In this part of the video, the speaker provides a comprehensive guide to trading and item valuation in Diablo 2 Resurrected, aimed at both newcomers and returning players. The video emphasizes that gold is not used for trading because it is easily obtainable and only useful for gambling with merchants. Instead, runes are the primary currency due to their rarity and essential role in creating desirable rune words. The value of a rune is determined by its usefulness and supply and demand, not just its level, although only higher-level runes are used for trading. Players combine lower-level runes to make higher ones but can’t downgrade them. The video includes a rough value table for high-level runes to assist in trades. It also provides tips on determining the value of the numerous items players will encounter, suggesting methods like consulting a wiki page or asking in chat for price checks.

In this part of the video, the focus is on evaluating and trading items, particularly in relation to their modifiers and rolls. The video emphasizes the importance of knowing which modifiers are crucial for making an item a “perfect roll,” using the example of a spirit rune word on a shield. Key modifiers for this item are faster cast rate (FCR), mana, and magic absorb, with FCR being the most critical. A perfect FCR roll (35%) significantly increases the item’s value, while subpar FCR even with high mana and magic absorb does not.
The video also discusses the complexity of valuing rare and magic items due to varying modifiers affecting different classes and builds. Items with broad utility, like small charms providing plus life, are more valuable due to higher demand. In contrast, items with niche applications, like charms with plus max damage, have lower demand and value.
Another key point is the trading of rune word bases, such as a four socket monarch shield, which are highly sought after for crafting. For simpler trading, the video advises holding onto popular items and basic currency items like perfect gems, which have consistent demand. It even suggests using the provided wiki page that lists the most commonly traded items and their values. Additionally, perfect gems are highlighted as valuable for Horadric Cube recipes, making them a reliable trading currency.
