What Are Duped or Unperm Items?
Unperm is just a nicer way of saying “duped”. The word “dupe” is short for “duplicate”. If an item is said to be “duped”, this means that it has been duplicated, or copied. In the past there have existed exploits in the Diablo 2 game that allowed players to copy items. Blizzard wittingly added a scan to check for these illegitimate items and delete them. There are ways to reduce the liklihood of your items being deleted by The Scan but no method is 100% safe. Lewt cannot offer replacements for lost unperm items. The upside to duped items is that they are usually many times cheaper than their legit counterparts. A legit 40ed/15ias jewel might be worth upwards of $100, but a duped one could go for as little as $4.00. Most players feel that the price savings in duped items outweighs the risk.
