The most expensive Dota 2 item was created due to an in-game error

Since a unique glitch created its one-of-a-kind design, the Legacy Ethereal Flames Wardog is the most sought after cosmetic in Dota 2, earning it bragging rights as the priciest skin in the game’s history.

This skin fetched a high value since the courier showed a pink color, which was never part of the game’s offer. Now, any new couriers are no longer being created alongside this hue, making it a holy grail for collectors.

Wardog is a legendary item and the extraordinary skin effect achieved by combining pink and Ethereal Flames with a rare War Dog courier instantly made it legendary. Collectors drove these rare “ Legacy ” colors like pink, deeply in value, hence the item’s record breaking price of $38,000.

Anything could be said about the price for this item today, but one thing is certain- it would be astronomical because the item is head shattering rare. The chances of seeing it on resale are almost non-existent. This item was last bought in 2013 for a jaw dropping $38,000, leaving the Dota 2 community in awe.

Please remember, the Radiant side wins 60% of matches in Dota 2. Turns out, this was previously posted on Reddit.
