How MM2 values work — where the numbers come from

Every trade in Murder Mystery 2 runs on one question: what is this item worth? This guide explains what a value actually is, how the numbers on this site are produced, and how to read demand and stability so you can use values like an experienced trader.

What an MM2 value actually is

A value is not a price tag. It's a score that says how much the trading community, on average, is willing to give up for an item. Values are unitless — they aren't Robux, dollars, or anything you can cash out. They only mean something compared to other items.

For example, Heart Wand currently sits around 335 while Darkbringer sits around 40. That doesn't mean Heart Wand costs anything — it means one Heart Wand trades for roughly eight Darkbringers. The number is a shorthand for thousands of real trades where players agreed on that exchange rate.

Because values come from trades, they move when trading behavior moves. A new event item, a popular video, or a supply dump can shift a value within days. No one sets values from the top down — the community sets them from the bottom up.

Where our numbers come from

This site does not invent its own numbers. We run on a live community trade data feed: a dataset built from real completed trades and ongoing community consensus about every godly, ancient, chroma, vintage, and pet. Our pipeline syncs against that feed continuously. Prices sync from live community trade data — we check for changes every 10 minutes.

In practice that means when the community reprices an item, the change shows up here shortly after — on the full value list, on each item's page, and inside the trade checker. We never hand-edit values to make an item look hot, and we don't freeze numbers to claim a list is "final." A frozen value list is a wrong value list.

Reading demand and stability

The value is only half the story. Two smaller signals tell you whether the value is easy to actually get in a trade.

Demand (1–10)measures how many traders actively want the item. A demand-8 item at value 100 trades fast at full value. A demand-2 item at value 100 is worth 100 on paper but you'll wait longer and often accept less to move it. High value plus low demand is the classic trap for new traders.

Stability tags describe where the value is in its cycle:

• Stable — trades at listed value reliably. Most items, like Harvester (an ancient around 245 with demand 3), live here.
• Doing well / Recovering — value holding or climbing back after a dip. Reasonable to acquire.
• Peaking / Overpaid for — trading above its usual level. Fine to trade away, risky to trade for at full value.
• Fluctuating — swinging with events or hype. Check the item page before every trade.
• Underpaid for / Decreasing — trading under its usual level or sliding. Bargain window or falling knife — demand tells you which.

One number to treat differently: Nik's Scythe shows a value in the hundreds of millions. Almost nobody can actually trade for it, so that figure works more like a label meaning "effectively priceless" than a real exchange rate. Ultra-rare outliers exist on every list.

Why value lists differ between sites

Search for an item and you'll find several lists — Supreme Values, mm2values.com, Traderie listings — showing different numbers for the same godly. None of them is lying. Each list uses its own unit scale, its own panel of traders or trade sources, and its own update rhythm. A site that updates weekly will lag a feed that updates continuously; a list scaled so a common godly equals 20 will never match one where it equals 40.

What matters is that the ratiosusually agree: every serious list will tell you a Heart Wand is worth several Darkbringers. The practical rule: pick one list and use it for both sides of a trade. Mixing lists — your side priced on one site, their side on another — is how "fair" trades turn into losses.

Using values in a real trade

1. 1. Look up every item on both sides — the godly and ancient hubs sort each tier by current value.
2. 2. Check demand and stability, not just the number. A Peaking item counts for less than its value suggests.
3. 3. Total both sides in the trade checker — it uses these same live values and calls the trade a win, fair, or lose instantly.
4. 4. Re-check before accepting. If the other player edits the trade, run it again. Values are live; trades should be too.
