Quick Tip to Weighted Sum
By Drop.
Just as a small hint to players that might have joined the game more recently and don’t know about it.
By utilizing the “Weighted Sum” function on the trade website you can somewhat set up old pseudo searches which are yet to be added to the new trade website.
As an example here is a search of a ring with at least 60life and as much elemental resistance as possible while only paying 1 exalted orb for it.
After searching we simply list the results by the sum by clicking on the “SUM” underneath the item stats and above the item price.
This can help a lot when you have quite a lot of scuffed gear and try to cap res and get some life on the cheap.
The same can obviously be transferred to all types of gear where multiple stats would matter to you and stat weighting can be adjusted if one stat is more favourable than another.
Just make sure to put the required stats such as life in the top “Stat Filter” group so only items with the required stat show up.

In cases where your resistance might not be easily covered by the single implicit or explicit of the item it is advisable to still use multiple weight sum searches. In the above example it might not be overly relevant since the resistances are easily covered by a single res roll but it’s overall better practice to still just use weight sum searches.
Not using multiple weight sum searches could majorly impact your search if you were to try to look for a ring with a single specific high res stat.
As in this example where we could have missed out on even 2/3 of all listed items that still fit our requirements.
