Task Bar Hero v1.00.06 Market Restrictions: Sell, Save, or Upgrade?

The market restriction changes make item state more important. Rare gear is no longer just a progression resource; it can also be a trade-value item that should be reviewed before sockets, Cube use, or listing decisions.

This page does not give financial advice. It is a gameplay checklist for avoiding avoidable rare-item mistakes.

What Changed?

  • Market-facing item decisions became more sensitive to rarity and item state.
  • Socket and upgrade layers became part of the sell-or-save decision.
  • New players have more reason to avoid selling or consuming rare gear too quickly.

Player Impact

  • A strong item may be worth keeping for your build even if it looks marketable.
  • An item with trade value may be worth saving before you add or remove upgrade layers.
  • Market restrictions can make old advice about instant selling less reliable.

What To Do Now

  • Before selling, check rarity, sockets, hero fit, and whether the item supports your current build.
  • Before upgrading, decide whether the item is progression gear or trade-value gear.
  • Use the Steam Market guide as your next stop if the item is Immortal, Arcana, or higher.
