Dota 2 is not just a game, it's also a treasure trove of rare and valuable in-game items (skins) that players and collectors alike desire. These items, often purely cosmetic, can fetch jaw-dropping prices in the marketplace.

Today, we take a look at Dota 2's most expensive items (skins) and discover what makes them so special. Let’s dive in!

Most Expensive Items (Skins) in Dota 2

While there are plenty of in-game items in Dota 2 at varied prices, some outrank the others by a hefty margin, fetching jaw-dropping prices in the market. The skin prices keep fluctuating over a period, but they still generate a lot of buzz.

Legacy Pink Ethereal Flames War Dog

Legacy Pink Ethereal Flames Wardog

This one is perhaps the most expensive in-game item (skin) sold in the history of Dota 2. The courier was part of the Defense 2, an online tournament run by the now-defunct joinDOTA, and started commanding a premium price due to its limited supply.

But the same courier with the Legacy Pink Ethereal Flames was sold for an astonishing price of $38,000. Talk about being an expensive in-game item, especially a courier, eh?

Interdimensional Baby Roshan

Aghanim’s Interdimensional Baby Roshan

The Aghanim’s Interdimensional Baby Roshan was awarded to the top scoring players of the Aghanim’s Labyrinth event. You heard it right! Players were rewarded for being the best with an in-game item worth thousands of dollars.

At one point, this skin’s price range varied between $4,000 and $5,000 before settling at around $1,600, according to the latest market trends. That doesn’t make it any less valuable, and it definitely deserves a shout-out as one of the most expensive items in Dota 2.

In all fairness, plenty of Baby Roshan variants go for different prices, based on their limited supply and rarity, including the particles giving them a unique effect. For more information on them, you can visit our article here.

Alpine Stalker's Set

The Alpine Stalker’s Set

The Alpine Stalker’s set has an interesting story behind its rise as a prominent item in the game. The Ursa Warrior’s set was removed from the store a week after its release due to community feedback over thematic concerns.

It was one of the first cosmetic items in Dota 2 to receive “Immortal” rarity and also happens to be one of the most expensive items in the game due to its extreme rareness. The item’s current price ranges between $3,000 and $3,600.

It’s ironic how a set, which was removed because players believed its appearance didn’t fit Ursa’s background lore, and was unsuitable aesthetically, has become such an expensive item.

Tsukumo the Moon Cloud

Tsukumo the Moon Cloud is currently one of the most popular skins, but it is rarely seen in the game due to its high price. The in-game item for Mirana boasts a Mythical status and features a “rabbit” as the hero’s mount.

Tsukumo is a portmanteau of two Japanese words, tsuki (moon) and kumo (cloud) and is based on the moon rabbit of East Asian mythology.

At its peak, this item commanded around $2,700 in value, but the item has since seen a drop in its price by a hefty margin and currently is hovering between the $400 to $600 mark.

As mentioned earlier, there are plenty of items (skins) whose prices keep swinging from one end to the other. This list may or may not be accurate, but it gives you a rough idea of how vivid the marketplace is for such rarities.
