Solved What does it mean?

so im new to diablo in general. sometimes when im looking to buy or sell something someone will say "its free on this server." i dont understand what this means. one time i tried buying a monarch shield someone said "you already have it, its free on this server" but didnt further explain and im trying to sell an arachnid mesh and someone said the same thing. "its free on the server" and when i asked they just left my game so i'm not getting a real explanation out of anybody. i was wondering if you guys knew what they meant by this?

 

with free they mean people give if away for free if you ask friendly
some items have value some dont.

for a newcomer like you i would recommed you to farm 500 bagged perfect gems (pgems), which is equivalent to a Ber rune, which is like the common higher currency here.

in order to farm 500 pgems quickly, just do nightmare cow runs if you are not that strong yet.
you can upgrade 1 of any gem (chipped, flawless, flawed etc) into a perfect gem by upgrading it in the horadric cube.
then you put the bag in the cube together with the gem to store it in the bag.

this way you can make a good income for stronger items/runewords.

if you want you can add me: /f a ryzos

 

thanks for the help everyone
