Elreon (-# to Total Mana Cost of Skills), Hillock (#% increased Attributes), It That Fled (Gain #% of Non-Chaos Damage as extra Chaos Damage) and Rin (#% chance to Avoid being Frozen/Cannot be Frozen) should all also sell for something more, though how much you'll have to check on the trade site at that time. They all have 4 levels, and crafters want to rush level 4 as soon as possible.

So wait, if I put an item in to be unveiled, can I take it out again without choosing an option to not spoil its trade value? I've never tried since I've always just done it.

You can remove it before you click the button. After you've clicked, you gotta choose. No backsies! ;)

Ok so I feel much wiser now, even though I feel like asking more dumb questions haha, sorry for that. Just want to be more efficient in 3.8 as I feel the whole veiling/betrayal feels unrewarding as I doubt ive ever craft 1 of those stats....

So from what I get so far is, when ever I find those special veil items from betrayal bosses, I can click on the npc and see what options I get, but not choosing 1. Then sell them at the poe.trade?
But I could also just pick all of those items up and throw them in my premium stash with 2/5c (regarding current league prize)?
that would be much faster, but from your saying I will miss out on lots of currency, as theres a few mods that will be selling for much more than the 2-5c range?

*edit*
nvm was answered earlier in thread.

I hadn't considered selling these things before, didnt even realise you could see who a veiled mod belonged to prior to revealing.

I only play SSF so not so concern but so far i found the unveiling items always feel good, like alittle lottery when you are happy to find the one you needed for days.
It feels rewarding in the end, purchasing from the market kill this feeling.

So i guess it just depends on the way you play, what makes you feel better/rewarding in the end.

I skipped "unveiling grind" in every league past Betrayal.

You can't see the options until you click 'Unveil'. And once you have done that and got to see your options, you have to choose one (can't remove it till you do). If you want to sell it, you have to sell it without knowing what it's giving you - that's the cost you pay in return for the returns from trading.

Mind you that your item needs to be competitively priced, cos there'll be tons of other people also selling their veiled items just like you. And since all the other stats on the items are irrelevant to buyers, your item is essentially perfectly interchangeable with any of the others. So if you want it to sell, you'll have to price it pretty close to the base market price for that particular veiled mod.

If the 'market' in this game did not suck rancid roadkill testes I'd tend to agree with the OP.

But the way the market does work in this game...

Just leave them lying where they drop once you've completed that master.

I went the entire league and never saw the first Elreon veiled item. OFC, buying them would be 45 minutes of whispering into the void before finding the last guy with the most overpriced item with a mod you've already got.

But remember, if everyone does it like this, there won't be people buying, only people selling and no one to craft the stuff for you, because they'll all be waiting for some poor other sucker to do the hard work for them. :D

I'm flattered. But I don't think little ol' me has anywhere near that much influence. :p

The market won't be flooded because Chris has successfully made trading about as fun as getting a root canal. To him that's success.

tl;dr: If you make less than 50-100exa per league (which is 99+% of the playerbase)

Now that is funny.
