Shops and Item Prices

Money is the most important resource other than your last hitpoint, and here I'll attempt to improve your money gain by explaining to you the mechanics, as well as a (currently incomplete) reference sheet for item prices.

Shop Prices and Selling Items

Most items, once identified (not required on casual difficulty), can be sold to the shop. An item's sell price can be calculated as follows:

Sell Price = 0.3 * Shop Price * Charisma Multiplier,

where Shop Price is how much you would pay if you were buying it, and is calculated by:

Shop Price = Base Price * Item Property Multipliers,

where Charisma Multiplier is based on your Cha stat, counting buffs, equipment bonuses and enchantments, and Item Property Multipliers are based on an item's enchantment counts and condition all stacking multiplicatively.

Cha Mod (Cha Stat)	Multiplier	Item Property	Multiplier
≥+5 (≥12)	2.0	Legendary (Equipable weapon only)	2.0
+4 (11)	1.8	Enchanted	1.6 per enchantment
+3 (10)	1.6	Blessed	1.5
+2 (9)	1.4	Damaged	0.5
+1 (8)	1.2	Cursed	0.5
±0 (7)	1.0
-1 (6)	0.9
-2 (5)	0.8
-3 (4)	0.7
-4 (3)	0.6
≤-5 (≤2)	0.5

The actual price sometimes differ by a few coins when an item is worth hundreds of gold, probably due to rounding somewhere during the calculation.

For example: Buying a Blessed Studded Leather Armor with 2 enchantments costs:

100 * 1.5 * 1.6 * 1.6 = 384g,

and selling it with 7 CHA gives you 100 * 0.3 * 1.0 * 1.5 * 1.6 * 1.6 = 115.2 ≈ 115g.

Enchanting and Reselling

Look for values inside parenthesis if enchanting costs 80g instead of 100g.

I did not take rounding errors into account when doing the maths and the actual profit threshold may be higher than what's written here.

The identifying price of 15 / 20g is ignored in the following calculations.

Enchanting before Selling

As enchantments give a multiplier instead of adding a fixed value, this means it's sometimes worth enchanting an item before selling it to the merchant, or even buying an item from the shop, enchanting it and selling it back to the shop.

• Enchant an item once before selling if it sells for 167g (134g) or more beforehand.
  
• Enchant an item twice before selling if it sells for 129g (103g) or more beforehand.

• If you value a rune at 0g, enchant an item thrice before selling if it's worth 65g (52g) or more beforehand.

You probably won't consider runes worthless (especially as they take up inventory), so:

• If you value a rune at 100g (80g), enchant an item thrice before selling if it's worth 97g (78g) or more beforehand.

Reselling

To avoid making gigantic tables, I assume you have 12CHA.

• Buying an item, enchanting it once and selling it back is never profitable.
  
• Buy items worth more than 373g (299g), enchant twice and sell them back.
  
• If you value a rune at 100g (80g), buy items worth more than 206g (165g), enchant thrice and sell them back.

You can solve [Shop Price * (multipliers-1) ≥ enchantment costs] to find the minimum profitable price for any CHA.

Scrolls of Blessing are also worth buying as it allows you to remove curse status from, or bless armor pieces. I'll let you to find out in which situations it's worth more than the 50g cost yourself.

Merchant Groups

When exploring dungeons, you'll sometimes find floors with no hostile mobs, but are instead occupied by a merchant and several ranger guards. They are the only source of gold that provide increased returns as your own gold stash grows, .

The merchant behaves somewhat like the shop. You can buy/sell/identify items, but there are several important properties that make them lucrative:

1. They have an infinite* amount of gold as long as you have enough items to sell;
   
2. They have no storage limit** when buying stuff from you, and;
   
3. They drop their entire inventory upon death, except all items will be unidentified;

** Pretty sure this is a bug, because this doesn't trigger before you buy an item from the merchant and you sometime don't get items back.


While un-identifying an item is worthwhile on it's own for other purposes than money making, there're some obvious things you can abuse merchant groups for:

Selling your valuables to the merchant, then killing them to get your items back provides you with free cash. You can then choose to sell it to the shop for an immediate double profit, or choose to keep the item and get free gold every time you find a merchant group for your investment.

I would personally recommend carrying around a few expensive items such as a triple enchanted ring or a triple enchanted legendary unique weapon to cash in for a few thousand coins every shop.
