Quote:Has anyone else tried comparing the value pre and post id? I've done it with a few items and everyone increased in value by 20. Is that the case for all level items? That would mean that identifying an item you are sure you are going to sell is a net loss of 5 (+20 value - 25 for analyzer).
No, the higher value items do increase their selling price when identified. From what I've seen, basically anything under 100 Pal is not going to be worth identifying before selling. But if you have something worth around 300 Pal before ID, it will gain maybe a hundred or so.
I'm still unsure if you need to ID items before deconstucting them, but it seems like you still get plenty of components even if you don't ID them.
