Beginner players need free identifies

Agreed. I just don't believe low-reward grinding for low value items is an acceptable way to prolong satisfaction ;)

Also, I'm sure it is just a matter of play style. I'm not that "prah" (?? Pro?) that I run maps that often, but when I do (no interesting man meme here!) I use every portal for blues and rares. That means I take my time and loot, and I have no portals left to waste on white items.. it just seems that a supply of Scrolls of Wisdom should be so far below my concern at this level. Ergo, an identify gem would be a nice addition. It'd be worth the GCP for me to buy one, and worth earning the GCP for whomever found and sold it, and I don't see what it'd detract from the game (we already have a Portal gem)

Yea, that's what i meant, pro. :P

If at that level, scrolls of wisdom are scarce and disrupts the fun, i guess that at that level something should be done about scrolls of wisdom.
My first comment was directed to the OP and the thread title: "Beginner players need free identifies", and i'm still completly against that.
Personally, i do not have any problems with them, because i just grind for orbs and rares i even use portals to get the most of them, but i do not identify all of them if i do not have enough scrolls, but if there is one that i think would be worth it, then i get more scrolls. Otherwise, i just trash them or sell em unidentified. It may not be the optimal playstyle to become "richier", but i do not care, because it's enough for me and i have fun with it.
I forgot that fun is relative as well, maybe a gem would be a good idea, but available for higher levels, although i don't think i'd need it.

As a new player who's only been playing the game for 10 minutes, I agree that free identifies are a must for new players, even if it's just a couple. Having played the Diablo series, I'm not new to these types of games, but some identifies would be nice. By the way, I love the game, great work!

Every character starts with 3 Scrolls of Wisdom, so you can identify at least three items.

Sell one
for 4


Also Sell 3
for 1

Holy thread necro batman!

In addition to the above methods of getting scrolls of wisdom, you can also vendor:

Armor Scraps = 2 wisdom each
Blacksmiths Whetstones = 4 wisdom scrolls each.

Neither is very important early game and by vendoring them I was easily able to get over a full stack of wisdom scrolls before even the end of act 1.
