The most expensive item in Dota 2: how much does it cost

An incredible sum of money is paid for some of the cosmetic items in Dota 2. Players highly value them and are proud to own them as they also represent the foundation of the game’s economy. The list below comprises the most expensive Dota 2 items at present.

Legacy Etheral Flames Wardog

The story of the Legacy Ethereal Flame Wardog is one of the most remarkable tales in the realm of in-game cosmetics in Steam. It is actually a skin which since it went on sale, has scaled to a huge $38,000 with a deal sealed back in 2013 and which remains unsurpassable up to today.

• Rarity: Mythical

• Origin: Created by infusing an unusual courier with ethereal flames

• Price: $38,000

Desert Sands Baby Roshan 

Next on this chart is Desert Sands Baby Roshan, an Immortal courier. The dust left behind as it runs across the map makes its movements visible. It is one of those couriers that have consistently been sought for by the entire community due to their immense popularity. Moreover, getting hold of it proves extremely difficult making its cost very high. People had to win three stars during Siltbreaker campaign so as to be able to grab themselves this item.

• Release Date: May 4, 2017

• Origin: Awarded to players who completed the Siltbreaker campaign with 3 stars

Alpine’s Stalker’s Set 

The alpine stalker set has become one of the most iconic sets in Dota2 that you cannot fail to recognize when you see it being used; however all hero skins available follow traditional themes unlike alpine stalker set which transforms Ursa into a mountaineer but was removed from store after release due to negative community feedback about its theme. This made the set unique, and you can only trade a limited number of copies that were purchased before its removal from the store. It continues to have a relatively high price.

• Hero: Ursa

• Rarity: Immortal

• Slot: Bundle

• Release Date: August 15, 2012

• Origin: Limited

• Price: $1,204

Golden Baby Roshan

This unattainable luxurious courier was an exclusive feature in the Halloween event in 2012 where only those players who killed most Roshans would be rewarded with it. However, this most expensive member of the Roshan family is no longer distributed at events and sometimes has a market value of $3000.

• Rarity: Immortal

• Slot: Courier

• Release Date: November 1, 2012

• Origin: Exclusive event

• Price: $3,000
