Hello. I Just make a CTA and i dont know how much is worth. Maybe someone Who has more experience can help me.
Is in CS; 2/ 5/ 4
Thx
Around 4 IST runes I would say.
Hmmm. Just Ohm is like 5.5 ists and in forums says that the important is the second boo; and is 5 for life and mana. Then i thought that Would be more expensive. Ty anyway
Yes OHM when not used is around 6 ISTS but now it’s in a runeword so the person buying it won’t be able to use OHM. This lowers the value of the runes used in a Runeword. However this doesn’t mean you can’t ask for 6 ISTS. There is always someone who NEEDS a CTA asap and is willing to pay that.
TOday this cta worth a lot more than 4 ists. 3 bo cta = ohm.

I can understand paying OHM to a +5 BO CTA but for +3 that’s just absurdly overpriced. Because you can just make the CTA yourself if you have OHM lol. You have a better chance at rolling better +BO xD
Call To Arms (1+ BO) = 2 Ist - 3 Ist
CtA (3+ BO) = 3 - 4 Ist
CtA (6 BO) = Sur

Just gift it as it seems…

I can’t remember prices from 10 years ago LoD, but today in D2R finding a 5bo CTA for just a Ohm is impossible.
+3Bo is the midrange, and pretty much like Hoto 35 and around, the midrange takes the value of the highest rune, also I don’t think it’s so easy to roll a perfect or 5+ bo CTA, it usually takes several tries and possible several ohm/ist/mal wastes, and if you end up getting a 1/1, chances of selling it for more than a Gul are not high.
A 6/3 CTA starts from Ohm, a x/4 is Ohm+, usually Ohm Gul, if you think you can easily find a x/5 CTA for just a Ohm good luck, and of course send me the name of the seller.
First of all, the average expected value from rolling a CTA is +3.5 (1+6/2=3.5) to Battle Orders. Therefore +3 is below expected average value. Since median value of 3.5 is equal to OHM+IST+MAL, the true price of +3 should be OHM that is correct.
HOWEVER:
You are missing the point of selling a runeword which has variable stats. If someone is selling their CTA it’s either because 1) they made a better one or 2) they no longer need their CTA. For the seller he is just trying to salvage value from an item he should discard.
You think like people are making CTAs in a CTA factory assembly line and selling them. That’s not the case. Because if you have the runes for a CTA you can just sell the runes as they are without making the roll as that’s guaranteed value.
Since the seller is discarding an item he is not in a position to demand the full value of the item. This is true for every 2nd hand merchandise IRL. Even if it’s in perfect condition you are not in a bargaining position to demand the full retail price. Because if you are selling a 2nd hand item that is still in production, this means you are just trying to salvage your money.
Therefore as the buyer i would not want to pay the true value of the item. Because what is my BENEFIT here? We already established above that a +3 BO CTA’s true value is OHM. Why am I paying its true value? If your workplace friend has accidentally bought two X-Box and wants to sell you one of them why should you pay its true price? He is screwed. He needs to get his money back because he has NO USE for the second X-Box. Therefore the buyer should ask for a favorable price to turn this to his advantage.
You think about risks of rolling a +1 CTA and think that this risk alone should be reflected in the price of a CTA. But the seller is NOT a business. He is not in a position to add the risk cost of his business operation to his prices. Because there will be many sellers who can just sell the item without incurring any risk (i.e. losing runes to a bad roll) and in a competitive market the lowest possible price will be the market price.
This is just my opinion; of course this is free market, if someone wants to pay more he can pay more. I’m just trying to explain the expected economic behavior here.

CTA 1 : vex ist
CTA 2: ohm (if lucky)
Cta 3: ohm ist
Cta 4: ohm ist +
Cta 6: probably Lo - Jah depending how lucky
anyone who think selling their cta 3+ below the value of the actual runes is kinda crazy. CTA is really hard to roll and a middle roll should be at least worth the runes that are used unless you are desperately in need of the runes for something else.
I sold my CTA 2 for an ohm rune
I bought my CTA 4 for ohm ist (but I thought it was really cheap)
so for your reference

Yeah, this may be the case sometimes but is not always the case. I rolled a +6 BO one yesterday and it’s my first one and I need it. However, I am looking into selling it because I’d rather have a mid roll one and whatever additional value I can get out of a +6 one. So if someone offered me an ohm plus something else I’d sell it, make another one which most likely will roll lower and still be happy. Just cause I need my CTA doesn’t mean I wouldn’t sell it. Everything has a price
We were discussing the value of a mid-rolled CTA not a +6. So all arguments I have presented above are not applicable to your situation.
Wanna sell your +6 one for my +5 one? I will give you another ohm rune for that. Let me know!

I knownwhat you’re saying baby, but listen.
Youre taking a chance of perhaps getting an even worse roll yourself. The leg work and risk is already done , so you’re paying for the piece of mind, convince and certainty.
This is so wrong lmao
A CTA 6+ is worth a Ber++ easy. And you will find a buyer for that EASY
For the price of a Ber you can try rolling 5-6 CTA’s but the chances of you getting a 6/6 are still relatively low
CTA 6/4 is worth a Lo
CTA 4/6 or similar is Sur+
