Diablo 4 constantly rewards the player with gear for them to either use or sell to earn more gold to purchase better gear. This can become quite the violent cycle as the player begins to sell everything in their possession just to see the amount of gold they are holding go up with no intention of spending it.
However, with various valuable pieces of equipment to be found while exploring Sanctuary, it's important for a player not to sell everything that they pick up due to the importance of some items. Therefore, these are the things in Diablo 4 players should never sell when they find them.
5 Equipment With Valuable Affixes
As players explore Diablo 4, they will find plenty of interesting pieces of equipment. Some may have a brilliant stat – also known as an Affix – that the player may wish to use. However, if the player feels that the rest of its stats are lacking, they may feel that it's time to simply sell that piece of armor or jewelry for its gold and hope they find something with a better roll; players do have another option, though.
Players can take the piece of gear in question to an Occultist, which can usually be found in the main city of each region of Sanctuary. For a small fee of gold, the player can attempt to roll a better group of stats. This allows the player to keep that desired affix while attempting to get something even stronger. Players should be considering this avenue when they begin to level past fifty-one.
4 Any Gear That Has A Transmog
Besides finding gear with incredible stats to make the player's build more powerful, players should also pay attention to the tiny pickaxe symbol that may be spotted on some of the gear they have collected. These items may be tempting to sell at the nearest merchant, but players are avoiding the possibilities for their character's fashion career.
Instead of throwing them at the nearest seller in the city, taking these items to a Blacksmith will reward the player with a new appearance for either their armor or weapons. There are plenty of Transmog options available in Diablo 4 that can provide players with various impressive armor sets for all the classes. Once a Transmog has been unlocked on one character, this will unlock the style for every class the player uses afterward; now, any armor that is found in this style can be sold.
3 Legendary Equipment That Is Found In The Wild
Part of the enjoyment in Diablo 4 is the collection of various bits of gear; while some of it can be sold for extra gold, one type of equipment a player should never be selling is anything of Legendary quality. This will easily catch the player's eye during battles as a specific noise will play, as well as the glowing orange item on the floor – not to forget the star that will show on the mini-map.
During the start of the game, any piece of legendary gear will be valuable due to it usually having significantly better stats than the armor the player is likely to be wearing. In later levels, Legendary Gear continues to be valuable as players will need specific rolls for their build; the pieces that aren't needed, however, don't need to be sold but instead taken to the Blacksmith to give the player important resources needed to upgrade their currently equipped gear instead.
2 Rare Or Lower Rank Gear At Late Levels
Similarly, players should begin selling things less frequently as they gain levels. The armor that once was deemed easy to sell, such as those that can be found ranking Rare or Magic, now possess a greater purpose for a player trying to hone their build. Once again, players should be taking this equipment to a Blacksmith to salvage it into its possible material components.
At this point in the game, these resources are far more essential than any bit of gold a player is likely to earn from selling it. Besides this, the player is likely to earn way more than enough just from defeating enemies and completing dungeons which will also be needed to find the gear they want. These resources can then be used to upgrade the player's armor and weapons.
1 Every Single Gem
Many players have complained about the space that Gems take up in both the player's inventory and their stash; this has led to many players selling what some may assume as useless gems whenever they have earned them. However, Gems can truly make a build flawless due to the boosts they can give a player.
As players level up throughout Diablo 4, they can then take these gems to a Jeweler who will upgrade multiple into an even better Gem. Therefore, it's important to keep a hold of every single gem that is found in the game. The player can then easily swap between them when experimenting with their build. Gems also don't sell for that much gold which makes them quite the pointless money-making attempt; with Gems being potentially moved, players will also not need to worry about the space they take up.
