Diablo 4<\/em> is fairly straightforward early on, but meeting the Blacksmith was the first moment in the game’s world when we felt we had to make an important choice about loot\u2014should we sell or salvage gear we don’t need?<\/p>
At first, we gave salvaging a shot but realized the materials we received seemed pretty useless at that point in the game, so then we started selling it. But when faced with the decision again a few levels later, it was much harder to decide. We learned it’s important to consider your game state before selling or salvaging gear.<\/p>
In our case, we sold unwanted gear to the Blacksmith to receive gold to buy better gear and armor in Kyovashad. This was also before level 10 when you unlock upgrades from the Blacksmith. But as we progressed further, we found the rare chest armor Command Work that gave us plus six to all stats with an impressive 312 armor. It was so good, it made sense to upgrade it, so we decided to use salvaged items to do that.<\/p>
That said, there are a few other tips and rules of thumb you can follow to decide when to sell or salvage gear in Diablo 4<\/em>. Here’s everything you need to know to help you make the decision for yourself.<\/p>
