    Hello everyone.
    So new player here.
    I was wondering, should i keep my cots and indentify only pink items?
    Should i keep those pinks to make legendary gear and spend there the cots?
    Should i farm some unique items for my class (SW) and then spend glyphs to up their level?
    I am level 30 with a legendary wand and most other are pink, and i don't really know what ot do from here on. Maybe get an arachna wand and level it to 30 to replace my wand?

    hello .. hmmm NO don't identify pinks if u don't have premium coz u cant craft item in that way... if u get premium u can open (green,blue,pink) for free and craft them :D !! No CoTs... only for leg. and or uniqs items if u have premium... yes u should identify leg items. The lover lvl. of items has more bather stats ,u spend less COTs but also u need more GoPs for upgrade .. yap u need to look for uniqs and spend CoTs on them but u also check on wiki dso uniqs if worth to spend COTs on this uniq item u find ... and for wand well most mages use leg wands ,try to farm leg. wand whit % enchantment on attack speed and or % on dam if u get lucky u get nice weapon .... and don't forget to play "new moon event" there u can find maybe the best armor, pauldrons, helm set so far in game !! have fun and good drops :D !

    Farm as many cots as possible and only open legendary items.. You'll waste plenty in the search for decent gear so keep that in mind.

    what i did and it worked out pretty well was to ID extraordinary stuff before i used it to craft a legendary item. this way, i always had the best possible extraordinary armor i could get my hand on till i didnt find viable legendary replacement as well as i had a sort of quality measure to compare my new legendary item to. also, its not that CoT unwise as it might seem, you pay 1/4 of the price to obtain item with only 1 enchantment less that at max can render your equipment 75% efficient compared to its legendary variant(and i have ID way too many legendary items lvl 40+ that had worse stats than my lvl 35 extraordinary equipment)

    but in a way its a neverending process. once you have all items of legendary quality, you start ID other legendary stuff to improve what you have.

    as mentioned before, this strategy works best with premium cause you can ID as much extraordinary items as you want for 0 cost

    as far as your lvl 30 goes, the question is how fast do you plan on moving up to lvl 45 or above. the faster you wanna lvl up, the more pointless is to waste CoTs on stuff you will only use for a level or two ergo uniques are always a safe bet. check items on wikia and ID what you think will satisfy your needs.

    You will probably sell/melt/throw away the vast majority of your gear when you reach max level and replace it gradually with lvl 45 legendaries and uniques. So try to spend as few CoTs as possible before reaching lvl 45 and then start IDing legendaries. Also do not identify items which you will get from Gnob/Ammon/events (for instance, there's no point in spending 1k CoT on a lvl 45 helmet which you plan on replacing with dark helmet).

    A lot of quest and event gear, including ammons from the quests, does not requires cots and drops preidentified. New moon and full moon also dont need cots, nor do the dragan event gear from the current event or essence gear from the previous event. So lots of new players should try to get some of these pieces to save their cots

    (Ammons forgotten stuff, the old pre-level 45 set, can drop in pw and i think does require cots)

    save COT's til level 45, no need to waste them before. that was my plan, ended up with about 15k worth of cots for level 45 leg items.
