List of Contents
Should You Sell, Salvage or Disenchant Equipment?
Items to Sell
- Normal Items
- Magic Items
- Sell everything if you need Gold
Sell Magic Items or Lower
We recommend selling all Magic (Blue) items or lower, as their value goes way down the farther you get into the game. Selling these items can give you money to spend for Skill Respecs.
Sell Everything if You Are Low on Gold
It's okay to sell any and all equipment if you are critically low on Gold, as you need this currency to purchase basic things in-game.
Below are a list of ways you can spend your Gold, however we recommend only Skill Respecs and purchasing new gear from Vendors.
| Ways to Spend Gold | |
|---|---|
| Gambling | Some specific vendors will allow you to gamble, wherein you can pick a specific equipment type and then get a random item from that pool. |
| Skill Respec | You can respec and reset the Skill points you used on Passives of your choice. |
| Currency Exchange | In exchange for a small gold fee, you can exchange currencies with other players. This should be done when you are missing specific currency items for a piece of equipment! |
Best Ways to Farm and Spend Gold
Items to Salvage
- Quality Equipment
- Socketed Items
Salvage Quality Items for Upgrade Currency
| Currency | Use |
|---|---|
| Armourer's Scrap | Increases Armor Quality |
| Blacksmith's Whetstone | Increases Weapon Quality |
| Arcanist's Etcher | Increases Weapon Quality |
Salvaging equipment with Quality prefixes gives you items that can upgrade the Quality of your weapons and armor. For example, salvaging Superior armor gets you Armourer's Scrap, which you can use to increase the effectiveness of your armor.
Salvage Socketed Items
Salvaging socketed items gives you Artificer's Shards, which you can then turn into an Artificer's Orb, which can add Rune sockets to weapons or armor.
Sockets Explained
Items to Disenchant
- Magic Items
- Rare Items
Disenchant Magic and Rare Items if You Need to Mod Equipment
Disenchanting equipment rewards you with orbs that allow you to transmute mods into your equipment, providing unique passives to play around with. If you are looking for ways to enhance your current gear, you can choose to disenchant your extra equipment for some Currency Items.
| Item Rarity | Disenchants Into |
|---|---|
| Magic Items | Transmutation Shard Collect 10 to form Orb of Transmutation |
| Rare Items | Regal Shard Collect 10 to form Regal Orb |
