Leaving Rares/Legendary's Unidentified?

[championcake]

this is maybe a dumb question but i wonder how the lootrules will know which stats a yellow item has to keep or even pick up when its not yet identified?

It won't know. I would just tell it something like 'Keep all ilvl 63 amulets unidentified.' Then I would just sell them identified. It can't compare the stats to your loot table until it's identified.

Am I missing something?.....

For argument's sake, let's dumb down my loot rule I am using..so it goes like this:

PickUp:
Any rare+ items with 100+ str

Keep:
Any rare+ item.


Now, if the stats of the items were NOT determined on drop, DB wouldn't be able to pick up according to my loot rule..but it DOES pickup UN-ID'd rares according to my rules and when ID'd, these rares will have 100+ str...

I'm not sure what we are trying to argue here

Can we get an update on the possibility of having a loot rule that disables identifying an item?

Yeah, they said that the item quality is determined on drop not the items stats.

It's more a technical question and no one will ever know. But it is not important to know.
It's only important to know if the items stats are sent to the client when the item is unidentified. Then you can read it out of the memory. But i don't think it's the case.

bashiok_foreal comments on Bashiok on buffed legendaries

rolled on drop and it has been discussed a million times. Items are completely determined on drop or you could keep legendaries UID until they are buffed - not happening. If you doubt that bashiok_foreal then go to the forums. You don't need a fucking bluepost to tell you that quality is determined on drop, what are you drinking? When else is it gonna be determined? When you sell it?

It is instantly yellow/white/blue whatever that was not the point bluepost in the forums was making. Also itemlevel was always fixed instantly and visibly aswell. Archon was ilvl 63, with or without shown ilvl at the item and ilvl is tied to the type of thing that dropped. There is no archon with ilvl 62,....

So the last thing that the dev could have meant is the affixes ( and he said so quite explicitly ).

was it possible to keep rares, set and legendaries unid'd?

Has anyone worked out a way to do this yet? Would be willing to pay about 3m IGG if someone could instruct me. There is SERIOUS profit in this to be had

From patch notes:

"As a reminder, these changes will only affect Legendary items that drop after the release of patch 1.0.4. This includes items that haven’t been identified yet (as items are rolled when they drop)."

Did this fall by the wayside? I am still looking for a way to keep all my legendaries UNID without having to stop the bot when he goes to town, to stash a legendary so it doesn't get ID'd.
