Absolutely! The game is too old to be coodling anyone.

Perfect, lets remove all helpful/informative content on this site. Because screw anyone here if they don't know everything about this game!

I LOVE your attitude. Literal ray of sunshine.

Why?

It's down to the individual to do their homework on what they're buying. It's not the forums job to coddle anyone.

So your logic is that we shouldn't help/educate other players because it's their own fault if they don't know about these things? 100% Flawless. You seem like a lovely person.

Assuming you aren't a brand new account created to troll, I'm not sure OS is for you Sky.

Quote from Ravenshaw

For me, the LEAST mods could do is to put a sticky like the tyrian serpent axe sticky they've got, so people can themselves decide if they wanna take the risk or not.

Well there's been some really good feedback here and thank you all for the responses. I've received several PMs from people in game thanking me as they weren't aware this was possible as well.

Arnold Vavrek You raise a great point around trust. Ultimately this comes down to if you trust the seller or not. Personally, no matter what they say I wouldn't. I wanted this thread to highlight how easy and quick it is to check stats of unids. I'm sure most of us are adults here - if you love gambling feel free to waste your ectos/arms. The house always wins though and this is an exceptionally rigged gamble.

Disclaimer: This isn't a thread to start a witch hunt etc. I'm well aware many of us here have known this for over a decade but I've also met many people who don't. This topic has miffed me for a little while now....

So lets get to it!

For those who are unaware - you're able check what mods an unid item will have before ever IDing them. I'm not going to get bogged down into the specifics but I'm sure you all know the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" so here's a couple of shields I found while running Pongmei this morning.

Here I have an unid shield equipped and my base health is 555.

In this next image you can see I now have an enchantment where my base health has jumped to 596 while the shield remains unid. Before ever IDing this shield I can conclude that it has a +41hp while enchanted mod

Lets have a look...

But while this is useful, can you also check for damage reduction mods? Yes, yes you can!

Here I have an unid bladed shield. I've taken my head armour off so I take some physical damage. As you can see I'm taking 2 damage from these little devourers - perfect.

I'll now put an enchantment on myself and see what happens. Oh look, I suddenly start taking 0 damage.

unid5.PNG

So before IDing the item I know it's going to have -2 damage while enchanted, there's no health while enchanted mod and there's no base health mod. Let's ID this bad boy!

This may seem like a really laborious task but I assure you if you had 20 unid shields in your inventory you'd be able to check through them all in a matter of minutes.

Armed with this knowledge it's ultimately up to you if you want to take the risk of buying unid shield packages for 20a or not. What bothers me is when a seller is selling unid packages but then also sells perfect shields that you'd imagine would be part of their unid packages in the very same thread. How did they know to ID those particular shields? Why was that particular shield not part of the unid package?

That my friends is up to you to decide!

Proposed solution

When unid packages are put up for sale, a clear disclaimer should be attached to it stating you can check for mods on weapons before IDing them and to buy at your own risk. I take no issue with people selling unids but lets educate our fellow players at least.

Interested to hear what others think about it. There's no need to share your degree certificates. That's all.

😘

Double disclaimer - I ran the chests myself as botters suck.
