Trade: unid Torches and Keysets

Hi all.

Im observing some instances where people are offering unid torches for a keyset and I'm a bit lost for the reason behind this. I mean yes, it's a gamble.. torch might be good or might be bad. But why go through UT just to change the torch back to a keyset afterwards?

I remember a long time ago, when LOD was still young, when people advised against trading unid-stuff as there were ways (hacks) to make identified items unid again. I suppose (hope) that's just me being in tinfoil-hat mode and nothing of the sort is going on here with the torches.

If someone with a grasp on the reasoning behind this could enlighten me, I'd be grateful

Cheers

as you said it's a gamble, some people prefer get stable revenue more than jackpot

But I fail to see the revenue. You put in a keyset to get the torch then switch it back to the keyset. What am I missing? Are they getting more than 3x3 for the torch?

Usually people trade 4x3 for an unid. They profit 3 keys. If they manage to sell 3 unid torches, that would mean next time instead of farming 3 they'll farm 4 and so on

okay, that I understand. I suppose they are just being vague when asking for a "keyset" and wanting more than 3x3 is implied. Thanks for the explanation.

Yes, 4x3 is always asked for an unid, payment is 1x3 or runes (

Mal value).
Sorc torch is actualy high (

Ohm+ depending on stats) and a

3x3 Keyset worth

Gul.
So unid torch must have à price between

Gul (3x3) +

Mal (lowest torch) and

Ber.

would you say the 4x3 set itself be worth

Vex to

Ohm?

No, keys worth nothing more than time playing, every one can have them with mid-stuff (15 minutes for 1

Key), much fastest than farmin

Mephisto for example.
Killing ubers is much more complicated, and is the Torch itself which is valuable.
So 4x3 for unid torch is good, time vs time (not rarety) and acceptable at any time

After that the problem is price in runes, lot of People are looking for keys at the moment, that's why is worth

Gul (3xMal), but in severals weeks it should go down.

For me 3D =

Mal (hard to have with nilatak), 3H =3T =

Pul/

Um

So 4x3, is like 2

Ist (max)

Here is my actual business, buying keys and selling unid torch between 2

Ist and

Vex (this dépends on market offer vs demands, week day or week-end etc)

Pretty much what was said already. If you want a value for the 4x3.

Gul is 3x3 and around

Mal is for 3 more keys 3

Mal ~

Gul, that is why 3x3 is

Gul so at best your 4x3 would be 4

Mal or 2

Ist or

Gul +

Mal. Hardly any unid are sold for a

Vex anymore and... as @darkrezus said the torch is worth more because you actually need to spend time farming it and gear a correct character etc. So 4x3 is one unid and one unid is <

Vex. So 4x3 can never be a

Vex. maybe for someone really desperate... but that will be a one time deal

Torch prices are going down and if they can get 4x3 for three torches that means they get a free torch. The people paying it are dumb though because 80% of torches if not more are worth less than

Gul so the odds are overwhelmingly against you.
