You're most welcome, LANKST. We like having new folks in here, and are glad that you've joined us.

To add one more thing into the mix... try to make sure you have at least two of the item. You pay as much to identify as you get for knowing what it is. For example, if a sword sells for 12gp and you can identify it for 5gp, the identified sword will sell for 17gp. IOW, you gain nothing from identifying.

When you get the merchant trait later on, you pay less for identifying, so you can make some money, But that's not for a while.

So if you have three swords as above, identify one sword for 5gp, and the other two swords are identified as well (provided they're in the same backpack). You can then sell all of the for 17gp each, making a profit of 10gp overall. It's legal. And effective. And not arbitrage... [img]smile.gif[/img]
