Getting ripped off by Sacred 1 merchants


Recommended Posts

Sometimes, I'll find a weapon or armor offer that has higher stats than my current gear but then, when I buy and go to equip, the stats change. Like, for example, I just found a weapon with max damage of 373 with a socket included. But, when I buy and go to equip, it goes down to 342, which is lower than my current weapon. What gives? It's very annoying.

Try unequipping everything, looking at the merchants offerings, and then reequip everything and look again to see if there is a difference.

I meant to say "UNequip" everything!

But it happens even if I keep the old weapon and equip it in one of the other weapon slots.

 

It doesn't matter if you equip the weapon in another slot, the bonuses from it will remain inactive. Certain items have a downside to them because you also do not meet the optimal level to use them, which usually is portrayed by their negative attributes to, for instance, your overall speed as well as attack speed.

 

Furthermore, Trading and Charisma will help you to not only find better items at traders, but also have better overall prices. When you purchase at the merchants, starting around levels 40+, pay attention to both ATTACK and DEFENSE values since they actually operate on what the chances are that someone might hit you and what the chances are that someone might miss you and vice-versa in your case when you attack. ATTACK and DEFENSE are not DAMAGE and RESISTANCE. These are extremely important to find, best if they're part of an amulet or a ring or similar like that.

 

You don't need resistances that much if the enemy can't even hit you. At a later stage, after Gold, enemies will attack faster and have a higher chance to actually successfully hit.

 

Yes, merchants are out to get you. :)
