I was trying to sell, and made a broadcast that i had a shield wall tp protection 3% level 40 for 1.7 billion. (because that was what the last one sold for on bm) and someone answered " for a level 40 ?". To which i replied. " yes it has the same effect as 50..." am I correct.. ? and also my next question is.. if i had a level 40 and put a 50 next to it would the bonus apply? thanks..

That IO has the same effect regardless of level, yes. It is also Unique, which means you can't use more than one, even of different levels.

Heh, they've come down in price. I've only ever seen them sold for $2B.

in fact, normally on a pure-global enhancement or proc (i.e. no enhancement value in it) lower is better (especially for globals which function as a set bonus). Still true somewhat in a PVP IO as you can slot it sooner.

yeah anything with a distinct effect like that is the same at any level. A level 40 functions the same as a 50 the same as a 20 or a 33. tends to be why people try to get it at as low a level as possible so it works at any the most exemplared levels

Those effects work like set bonuses, so they go away if you exemplar more than 3 levels below the level of the enhancement. So like you say, people tend to prefer the lower level ones.

However, PVP IOs, like the one the OP asked about, function like purples; their set bonuses remain when exemplared to ANY level. In this case, the ONLY benefit to a lower level version is the ability to slot it sooner.
