Regarding Old Diamond Items -- Is Selling Them For More Allowed? [ Answered ]

I have a number of old diamond items, whose current models are now steel.

Are these items allowed to be sold for higher rates, due to their aesthetic rarity?
(or is it against Wynncraft's trading rules)

I would appreciate some insight! :)

 

No. They have the same stats. It's 100% visual and it's hardly a change anyway.

You can try and sell them for more, but few people will buy them for a higher price.

 

Nope. tchar

 

Thank you for the responses!

To clarify, is it against trading rules to sell for more?

 

Someone would've bought my crystal for a stack because of this.

 

Since "trading rules" are essentially unspoken, not really. It's just that nobody will buy them.

 

Well, I've seen people who are willing to pay a decent sum for no longer available aesthetics/items. So I believe there is a market for them. (Case in point as seen below).

I just want to be sure that it is within the rules -- as enforced by staff.

 

3 or more mods told be thats its banable to sell them for more than what the normal items would go for when i tried selling old blue endgame armour

 

It's helpful to have a direct example from what moderators have told you. Thank you for sharing that!

Sounds like the answer to my question is:
Selling old end game armor for more is a banable offense.

*Tagging @JuicedBananas to confirm officially.

 

Yea, but "more" is kinda general, but
I'll take that for 10LE
It's diamond so 20
Ok.
Is illegal

 

You aren't allowed to jack up the price due to the texture, but people can still pay more based on the texture.
Speaking of which, what items do you have with the old textures?

 

You know what else is visual and hardly changes anything
Particles
Weapon skins
Etc I could go on with alot of other servers

So cosmetics do make a difference to some

 

This is exactly right. It's considered scamming.

 

All those change a lot more than the difference between old and new armours. Not to mention you'll almost never be looking at armours.

 

All the former end-game armors. And a number of old weapons that still have the glistening powder effects on them.

Thank you for including this thought. I agree, many people are very particular about their cosmetics --even slight changes. Additionally, many people like to collect items that are no longer obtainable.

You are correct, the aesthetic effect is not as great as other cosmetic effects and on average most players don't care about the difference.
However, there are still many others who are interested in collecting such armor. If not for the difference in looks, purely because they are no longer obtainable in-game
