Should You Sell or Salvage?

Salvage Equipment Early On

Diablo 4 - Salvage Equipment Early On

It is recommended to salvage equipment early in the game because most item drops are of the common and rare rarity. These items sell for a little amount of Gold and are worth more as a source of materials.

Salvage to Stock Up On Materials

Diablo 4 - Stock Up On Materials

It is a good idea to stock up on materials when you can as you will be burning through these later on by upgrading your gear at the Blacksmith or imprinting Aspects at the Occultist.

List of All Upgrade Materials

Salvage to Unlock Transmog Pieces

Diablo 4 - Unlock Transmog Pieces

Another reason to salvage equipment is to unlock Transmog pieces. Transmog allow you to change the appearance of your equipment without altering its stats.

Sell Equipment Later in the Game

Diablo 4 - Sell Equipment Later in the Game

As you progress through the game, you will pick up higher level items. Items with higher levels sell for more Gold. If you have plenty of materials already, it should be safe to sell unwanted equipment.

Where to Sell Items

Sell When Running Low on Gold

BSell When Running Low on Gold

Certain activities cost plenty of Gold like upgrading equipment and Healing Potions, extracting Aspects, and refunding Skill Points. When you notice that your Gold is running low, it is time to sell some surplus equipment.

What to Buy and Spend Gold On

Sell to Save Up for Stash Tabs

Diablo 4 - Save Up for Stash Tabs

Purchasing extra space for your personal stash costs lots Gold. Eventually, you will run out of stash space so do not think twice about saving up for an extra stash tab.

Should You Sell or Salvage Legendary Items?

Tips and Strategies for Dealing with Legendaries
Extract Aspects from Mediocre Legendaries Salvage Legendaries with Weak Stats and Aspects Never Sell Legendary Items

Extract Aspects from Mediocre Legendaries

If you come across a Legendary that doesn't fit your build but comes with a potent Aspect with a high stat range roll, we recommend extracting the Aspect at the Occultist instead of salvaging them. You can save powerful extracted Legendary Aspects and imprint them onto stronger Rares and Legendaries later to improve your build.

All Occultist Features

Salvage Legendaries with Weak Stats and Aspects

For Legendaries with low stat rolls, low Item Power, or Aspects you don't need in your build, you can salvage them at the Blacksmith for Upgrade Materials.

However, note that the in-game Stash is shared across your characters, so double-check for Legendaries and Aspects that you might use on your alternate characters before salvaging them.

All Blacksmith Features

Legendary Mats Only Drop for Item Power 400+

Diablo 4 - Legendary Item Power

The Legendary upgrade materials Coiling Wards, Abstruse Sigils, and Baleful Fragments can only be salvaged from Legendary Items with at least 400 Item Power. Legendaries below this line will never yield them, while Legendaries above this line will always yield them.

For this reason, it's best not to salvage Legendaries with under 400 Item Power as they will only reward you with Veiled Crystals or lower level mats. Instead, even if you don't need them now, keep them in your stash in case you need to imprint their Aspects later.

Never Sell Legendary Items

Diablo 4 - Do Not Sell Legendary Items
While it can be tempting to sell Legendary items to get a quick influx of Gold, we still advise against doing so, as there are plenty of ways to farm Gold in the endgame. We recommend salvaging or stashing mediocre Legendaries instead and clearing Dungeons and Helltides to grind Gold.
