How to Pricecheck Everything in PoE2

Options → Input → Show Advanced Item Descriptions → assign a hotkey.

Holding Alt while hovering an item shows the roll ranges of every modifier. This is essential for price-checking every item type in the game.

Typing ~ before a search term on the trade site matches any modifier containing that text.

Example: ~cold pulls up cold damage, cold penetration, cold resistance — everything with "cold" in the name. This works for any mod text.

Every unique item has ranges its modifiers can roll. Example — a pair of gloves with "gain 5–10 fire damage":

Always check roll ranges. Max-rolled uniques sell for 40x+ the minimum-roll price in some cases.

These rings have extreme roll ranges:

A perfect-rolled ring is a statistical anomaly worth 99+ divines. Even near-perfect rolls are expensive, but check listing duration — if it's been up 2+ days, reduce price 10–20 divines.

Negative rarity variants are also valuable for exceptional base farming. Lower implicit = better for negative rarity rings. Search via -25 -25 to lock the roll range.

Corrupted uniques are typically half the price of non-corrupted versions. Same stats, same functionality — you just can't re-corrupt them.

If you can't afford the non-corrupted version, search for corrupted and save a lot of money. This applies to nearly all uniques.

Pricing tiers for evasion body armors:

Max quality on items: 30%. Exceptional bases have an extra rune socket by default.

Same logic as body armors: high defense + high resistances. Premium stats that dramatically increase value:

• Critical hit chance — rare suffix, only helmets/weapons/quivers/gloves
• Rarity

A 525 ES helmet with crit chance + rarity can be 100+ divines. Same helmet without those stats might be ~50 divines.

Early league: high defenses + resistances.

Mid/late league: high attack damage prefixes + crit suffixes.

A well-rolled pair with T1/T2 flat damage + crit suffixes sells for 15–30 divines.

Gold base adds significant value — rarity is a premium stat. A double-rarity gold ring with good resistances and flat damage is "what every build wants."

The two most valuable stats:

Together on a gold amulet = minimum 20 divines.

Fractured bases are next-level — a fractured +3 projectile skills base alone is ~78 divines before any other mods.

Best bases: Gold (rarity implicit, up to 20%) and Solar (spirit implicit, up to 15%).

A top-tier bow (high flat + crit + exceptional base + 3 sockets) can be 200+ divines.

Crafting tip: Use essences (e.g., Essence of Sorcery) to replace a dead suffix. Cost: ~1 exalt → sell for ~9 divines if you hit +3 spell skills.

Non-negotiable: 35% increased movement speed. Good boots = 35% MS + high resistances + good defense base.

If you see 35% MS (or even 30%), always price check.

Crit chance + crit damage alone = minimum 3 divines.

Certain normal items can be turned into chase uniques using an Orb of Chance:

A normal utility belt sells for ~13 exalts (or more if patient). The base has inherent value because of the gamble potential — even though the chance of success is low.

Item level 82 is the breakpoint for tier 1 modifiers — max mana, tier 1 resistances, etc.

An item level 82 Solar amulet with max spirit implicit: ~120 exalts vs ~6 exalts for item level 80.

Check poe2db.tw → look at the "Item Level" column for any mod to see when it becomes available.

These are white items that are extremely valuable because of their base type:

How to farm: Get your character's rarity to negative — you find fewer rares and more normal items, increasing exceptional base drops.
