Holy Moly.
I think I have to open a bottle of whine now.
Mah man! THAT'S what I'm talking about! Congrats dude! Have a sip on my behalf - I've never perfectly upgraded an item.

I'm willing to accept Tokens, Keys,
Perfect Gems
, and certain minor runes (this changes regularly so please ask but usually
Eth
,
Nef
,
Sol
,
Ral
,
Hel
,
Lem
,

) in lieu of my asking price when my "looking for" price is a rune.

Will do! :D
Thanks for you guidance, I would never have thought that this is so valuable.

Also got a perfect roll of the first up for the 29ed, i.e. 70 def
Battle Gauntlets
. Also nice but of course not as valuable. :-)

Nice, Congratz! I think I have one or two 30
Magefist
in my mules. Maybe I should consider upgrading them, too. But concerning my luck with cubing, I should let my sons do it... 😁

After a 20 year break from D2 I started playing D2R in 2024 with my sons (9 and 10 years old)

You can sell the unupped ones probably more easily. But if you still can self use them upped, I would say: go for it. 😃

You also get kind of 2 shots. If you get a perfect roll after first upping, I'd keep that. There might be chars that don't want the high str. requirements and single upped have already much more def.

If the first roll is not perfect, just do the 2nd one.
With a low roll they won't be valuable but surely useable and for self use still better than unupped ones (assuming you are also using a
Monarch
).

P.S.: So far no interest for my perf upped ones. Probably a loooong sale. 😅

It may take a while because it's a low demand item and only a handful of them get sold per month on Traderie and, from what I can tell, it has never had a recorded sale here. However, you should reliably get 8-10
Jah
for them from a PvP player or collector. The value of perfection is exponential.

Separately, another item worth upgrading that hasn't been mentioned so far in this thread is
Bloodfist
. I recently traded a
Mal
for 20% ED, 83 defense
Bloodfist
Vampirebone Gloves
for my own use. However, perfect 20% ED, 88 defense
Bloodfist
Vampirebone Gloves
go for 10-15
Jah
. A couple of weeks later, I found a 20% ED
Bloodfist
, which like a 30% ED
Magefist
, also sells for
Lo
before upgrades. Had the timing been different, I may have done a double upgrade for self-use, but a
Mal
for 83 defense is too good of a value trade.

I hope it is okay that i bump this old topic as i have a couple of relevant questions to ask.

I found a Viperskin +29 all res when doing a countess run one lonely night. Do you think it is worth upgrading? Is it worth the
Ko
and
Lem
rune if you want to trade it after use?
I have always loved the
Goldstrike Arch
bow, back from D2 legacy days. Is it worth it upgrading it to a
Hydra Bow
, damage wise? Does anyone know the mathematical equation to figure out the damage improvement from upgrading a
Gothic Bow
to a
Hydra Bow
?

Like original poster i also find it hard to know what people like and that the market likes.

Personally I would not up a 29All res viper. But if you are SSF and its the only one you found? Sure, upgrade that bad boy.

As for
Goldstrike Arch
look at the Enhanced Damage that comes on the bow. A base
Gothic Bow
comes with 10-50 Damage. GSA gives 200-250ED giving it a max damage range of 35-175 (assuming you rolled 250ED). Math: [(10*2.5)+10] for min dmg [(50*2.5)+50] for max dmg
Now if you upgrade this to a
Hydra Bow
we look at the base damage of that which is 10-68. So if we assume made ED again our we get 35-258. Math: [(10*2.5)+10] for min dmg [(68*2.5)+68] for max dmg
Now as far as upping it? Again, I wouldn't do that unless you REALLY like the bow or you are SSF. A great, I mean really GREAT, budget bow for a physical bowzon is
Witchwild String
. Now that bow is worth upgrading and its really cheap.

I'm willing to accept Tokens, Keys,
Perfect Gems
, and certain minor runes (this changes regularly so please ask but usually
Eth
,
Nef
,
Sol
,
Ral
,
Hel
,
Lem
,
Pul
,

) in lieu of my asking price when my "looking for" price is a rune.

To your question , "worth" , it will depends if you how long you are going to use it. if it is more than 1 week, upgrade is worth it.

About trade, Viperskin +29 is not worth anything, regardless you upgrade it or not. if you search carefully, you can find perfect condition all resist viper with
Lem
+
Ko
pricing.

Favor
Perfect Amethyst
over
Perfect Skull
...
These days, I don't need that much
Perfect Skull
, it is less encourage to pay in
Perfect Skull
but it will treat slightly better than
Perfect Gems
.

It's interesting everyone's only assuming armor, very few people mention weapon upgrades; I'll list a few of my favorite gems:

Coldsteel Eye
: if you can upgrade to an
Ataghan
with 250% ed this sword slaps, the 50% deadly paired with Highlords Wrath and Gore Riders, you can have max double damage, and the 30% slow and blind are just icing on the cake for bosses and big minions. Used with a fireclaw hybrid
Werebear
and it was amazing.

Ribcracker
: easy candidate, amazing withy Fury druids.

Fleshrender
: Sadly mostly overshadowed by 'Beast', but a 200% ed upped
Fleshrender
does some serious damage and now with wias basically eliminated this is a descent candidate for Shapers again.

Buriza-Do Kyanon
: upped Buriza has been busted since the beginning of time.

Aldur's Rhythm
: YESSSS... Aldurs baby stick can now be upp'ed. It no longer has to be Charsie food after nightmare, in fact I tried out and as a
Devil Star
if you go
Werebear
Maul
/FC hybrid with 2xBer, 1x
Lo
it ACTUALLY does 'somewhat' descent physical damage, now that
Maul
charges past lvl 30+ can get you to a descent attack speed and you don't have to rely on adding 4-6 Shaels to every weapon to hit a single breakpoint.

Hwanin's Justice
: YERRSSS again... you can finally upgrade this piece of ish
Bill
to a SLIGHTLY less piece of ish Collossus
Voulge
, and I still haven't done it yet but I'm tempted. Not because I think it will be good, let's be honest there's no saving this set... no Gores or Gloves or Highlords is enough to make it good but I could see this being viable on a Fury druid and kind of fun, the prevent monster heal on the
Belt
of the set is nice and it's kind of funny it gives static when you get smacked, that's why I think maybe a Fury with dracs might be okay'ish.
