/r/DarkSouls3 - Trading Thursday.

Back Up Saves can only be used on PS4 and PC. If you're trading on XBox, then items for trade have to legitimately come out of your character's inventory. This makes some trades nigh impossible on that platform.

PS4/PC, Slabbing and weapon infusions are also considered time consuming, as the upgrade and infusion items are not tradable, and require a play through for the gems and coal. Most characters at end of NG can manage 8 slabs and 3 infusions of each type, anything more than that becomes a multi-trade.

Muling is usually used to preserve a core inventory of slabs, and requires the assistance of a second player to hold the slabbed items and pass them back to the first character, after the player has restored from save. Most trades are Mule-for-Mule, or Mule-for-items, and the player that is restoring from Back Up Save and effectively drop any requested item as payment to the Mule, without losing it from their inventory, as it will be restored to them on reload from their save file.

Some items have inherently higher worth due to the effort it requires to trade them. Examples of this are rare consumables (Seigbraus, Blessings, Rusted Gold Coins), and max soul stacks (e.g. 699 of each the top 5 souls).
