Pro Tip: If you are are capped at 9999 with Rawhide or Iron Chunk: just go to the Alchemist and craft Superior Leather/Silver Ore out of it, it's very cheap!
in the beginning when you start to get legendaries and aspects. Those resources are hard to come by. Veiled crystals etc and then the crystals you get from legendaries in order to upgrade them.
The key takeaway is that until you reach level 50+ on at least one character, your main approach is to balance selling and crushing items. Once you get to 60 and aren't upgrading your gear as often and thus don't need mats that often, then move to selling most. In my case I've got 1 lvl 54 characters that's bankrolling the 4 other classes as I get them geared and leveled to 50. It's made leveling a lot easier.
This!! The amount of items I get for other classes isn't much, it's often but not often enough to where it's bothersome however for a while I was filling up inventory and selling it, then fill up and salvage it. Repeat this 3, 6x for each and you'll be set for a good while.
Idk I’m lvl 64 and still need salvage materials just as much as I need gold. I haven’t gotten perfect gear yet where I can just sit for awhile. I started converting iron to silver like these videos suggest and now I just run out of iron chunks…
I'm super glad Blizzard allows us to share all of these mats and gold between character, so convenient and a great QoL feature. For the stash, I wish we had one (additional) slot that was dedicated to the character. I'm sure we'll get more stash slots as future seasons progress, but I keep finding generic gear that would be great on my other lower leveled characters, and I'm starting to feel constrained.
My experience was that I was able to salvage ALL unused loot and do ZERO upgrading of any sort until level 50. By then I had so much mats and a decent chunk of change from not upgrading, as you swap gear often. Now I just sell EVERYTHING that’s not ANCESTRAL in WT4.
Its totally valid for people beginning to get into endgame to still save mats until they are comfortable. But I agree with Wudi, at some point you will stop changing gear every 5 minutes and when you play without using mats and constantly salvaging, you should reach a comfortable number after like 3 days already. See it like this; Mat consumption is always the same and doesnt scale higher, while with time we use the Mystic & Jeweler less and less. All while towards endgame you will roll way more and the price keeps increasing
Up until you get to wt3, you should salvage everything you're not using. Continue salvaging in wt3 on your way to wt4. Once you hit wt4, you start selling everything. Ezpz. You need the mats more than gold at first, then by the time you've got all the mats you need, you're in wt4 where everything sells for much more.
I’ve been selling the yellow gear since probably level 50 and salvaging the weak rolls of legendary gear every time. I am constantly tinkering with gear and never have issues with gold or mats for upgrades. Also I farm helltide events like it’s my job.
I think a better way to explain this is basically explain what material you get from each item type, then salvage until you get X amount of them, like probably 1000 of each rare material is probably a good bench mark, if you have that much then start selling instead of salvaging. you just wanna have a good amount of them to begin with and then whe you have enough, get money for them.
Yes this is what I do I save enough to comfortably setup a few new bits of gear and sell the rest until I dip under that threshold again. Same with money actually it's just basic budgeting
@@via_negativa6183 I agree, though sad truth is budgeting seems to elude a lot of people, they dont have the discipline to do it, which is why debt is such a big thing. I really wish this wasn't the case. but if we drill that into people, hopefully it'll change to be opposite
This is good advice for the super late game but I think you should emphasize that we need to salvage legendaries for a large portion of the game to even get the mats in the first place
Like even though im level 80. I finished the video, then i always read comments to find out someone who did not finish the video complain about something that was clear in the video. He said from lvl 60 he started selling things.
Yeah this tip is fine for some people but I have 132 baleful fragments at level 75 and it costs 12 per imprint... keep salvaging until maybe like 300 or so, I do tons of helltide and nightmare dungeon and I do not get materials as often as he is saying. Yesterday I think I got 7 baleful fragments from drops.
I thought rerolling stats was too expensive too, but after a bit of reflexion I think it's good for the game. I think gold having a solid use and value is gonna feel better in the long term of the game compared to D3 where you did 5 or 6 runs at the Goblin King Realm Portal stuff and had enough gold for eternity. The main limitor of rerolling became the yellow mats dropping from elites. You could argue it's the reverse here, the mats have very little value, but gold is a better main currency for the game than a specific material.
So I agree that the gold should be the sync here....not the damn materials that aren't fun farming in helltides! That should be a standalone event if you want to do great but it shouldn't be the only source of getting the material.
Gold cost could be ok if The rolling system was tweaked a bit. When my rolls cost 10 million I should not be able to get completely dead rolls; e.g I already rolled on a near-max roll trying to get it to max, but the choose options are the ame stat twice, but worse. When that happens, which it often does because the rerolling is weighted super weirdly, it just feels like the game robbed you. Pay for a chance to downgrade your item is not good game design
This is very important as I saw some other UA-camr is telling newer people to salvage items and didn’t follow up telling them how much gold they need at end game. The problem with that is they just gona stop picking up items because they have enough mats. Keep picking them up and sell them! you can maybe skip a few sacred once got to 50 mil + but i will hoard them for sure.
Dude, I stopped picking up sacred when I was around lvl 75 with 10mil gold I'm fresh 100, got 50 mil and literally never had the issue os missing mats/golf except that helltide material for rerolls
@@Ludak021 asking in a nice way. What lvl are you and what mats are you lack of? I know you need both but like I said when you have enough mats just make sure you are still picking items up and vendor them for gold.
Good to know I’ve already been doing this but started the selling sooner. Early on, salvage everything for the transmog and some base materials. Then salvage only legendaries. Then sell everything. Gold is beyond important and can easily burn thru 30 mil in 4 re rolls.
Great to have some perspective on resource management, very useful for me. I am a casual player but will grind a player to 100 eventually, even if it takes months.
ALWAYS SALVAGE YOUR LEGENDARIES. Yes, it's all good for Wudijo who blast through the game to start selling them at level 60 but for the average player, that is not feasible because you will need the mats (Baleful Fragments, Coiling Wards, Abstruse Sigils), in large quantities at the endgame if you want to do pretty much anything. Sell your rares by all means, but even if you are overflowing it's still a better idea to salvage legendaries.
Hard disagree. 1 day of Helltide events and salvage legendaries and I have 400+ of each legendary material. Meanwhile, I improve maybe 1 gear item/level (I'm lvl 77), no way I will consume those mats. Legendary mats are omega easy to get. 1 day of farming helltides and you have enough untill lvl 100 for one char. Gold on the other hand...
Honestly have had way too many of these "rare" materials since like lvl 60. I actually tend to run low on gold and silver ore far more often than anything else.
It just depends on what you need Sometimes I run out of materials for upgrades and the occultist and then I obviously salvage everything Other times I don’t have much gold so I sell everything
I don't think it's overpriced. I think even based on item power it's pretty dang close to what it should be. You shouldn't be able to re roll easily to get the best roll possible. I think it might need to be lowered at some points but remember the path is Enchant>Imprint>Upgrade>Socket. That saves money.
I actually just ran out of veiled crystals from upgrading and imprinting items. I think gold, veiled crystals and forgotten souls will be main currencies needed
After too much respeccing I found myself out of the blue crafting material, but I was lucky enough to recall that you could craft them, which was very helpful.
The other thing you should have mentioned is that item value scales with level of the item. So it's better to salvage everything first until you're getting close to cap on certain materials, while only selling when you actually need gold for something.
I pretty much sell everything at this point. I'm level 89 and it's so infrequent to find anything useful. I've found more stuff on my Rogue that was useful for other characters. Plus finding stuff that is over 800 item power is pretty rare and I still have some equipment that is below 800 just because of this.
Personally, I've been running low on coiling wards, the resource obtained when salvaging armor pieces. Druid has a LOT of build diversity compared to the other classes and I've built up quite a few different armor and weaponsets for many of the builds. There are 5 pieces of armor for each build (vs 3 pieces of jewelry and 1 or 2 weapon slots) and coiling wards are the main gate to upgrade these new armorsets. There is some cross over across builds, but the werebear only / werewolf only stat lines and storm only / earth only stat lines really dilute your target loot pool so I find myself often upgrading a good piece that has lets say a +10% armor line to a new piece that has +24% armor while in werewolf form. This becomes a non issue when you eventually stop experimenting with builds and achieve bis of course, but it seems like it takes druid a bit longer to get to that point.
Marking an item as Junk takes 1 click. Selling an item takes 1 click. Why do you first mark them instead of just making the desision if item is junk or not while at the vendor and just insta sell it?
I finally got the aspect I want but can't use it since I don't have the required material for any of the legendary items I've salvaged so far. I feel the devs should make some of those materials easier to come by. I'm currently level 40 and the grind is real 🤔
They become obscenely easy to get once you're in WT3/4. Hold on to the aspect, because you're going to replace all your gear soon, anyway at WT3. Below level 50, don't invest much into minmaxing your gear -- just keep your head down and keep grinding XP so you can replace all your gear.
@@drach420 Awesome, thanks for the tip! I've extracted a few aspects and holding on to them. I'm only level 49 and early in Act 4...yep I did way too many side quests. Focusing just on the story missions now since I want to complete the campaign before season 1 starts 🙂
I am wondering why ive heard people are mad about the material cap and want blizzard to increase it. Like why? There is no way in hell you are gonna use 9000 of a single material. And even if you did use majority of them, you would stock back up pretty easy.
I'm in the mid 60s, and still never have enough veiled crystals. That may just be because I haven't gotten on the dungeon grind just yet, been completing all the side quests, altars, etc first. Also it may just be that I've been upgrading, enchanting, and putting aspects on any upgrades I find since like level 50, so I'm always out of gold and mats lol
1) you don't need to finish everything to complete the renown(altars are great and need them only once) 2)Dungeons are more beneficial than the side quests for both renown and farming
I sell almost everything. I am capped on a few things (when are they implementing the cap removal) so very little need to salvage. I also upgrade my gems every once in a while, and that averages about 20 million gold every time I do it, so gold is King.
Dev feature request: buttons at the vendor similiar to black smith for sell all junk, rare, magic items. Also if you mark a sigil as junk so you know which to salvage, and then mark some items as junk, and then sell the junk item too it sells the sigil! Buyback cost is 1:1 (sigil sells for 1 gold and buy back is 1 gold) but its annoying and you can lose the powder. Need the junk sell feature to only affect the current tab. Need a salvage junk sigils buttin on occultist Need sell junk/magic/rare items button on the vendor that only affects the current tab.
It's kind of already in the game. If you mark items as junk in your inventory, then right click one to sell at the vendor, it will sell all items that you've marked.
@@Xylasider Honestly, at least in PC, what's the advantage of the "mark as junk" button? Since you need to click space in everything you want to mark as junk as opposed to right clicking in the vendor and selling the item. Seems redundant to me, unless I'm missing something.
@@heimdallcvl I think the intended game loop, and what I've adopted, is you're checking gear as you go to see if it's an upgrade or aspect you want, and marking it junk if it isn't for a quick sell once you get back to town.
Maybe I'm a nerd but I track my main materials week-over-week in a spreadsheet. This lets me identify any trends if there's a specific item trending downwards over time, and I can adjust accordingly. Even though I sell everything, I'm lvl 80 and at a point where basically everything keeps going up, with the exception of gold which is pretty volatile based on rolling for affixes.
Constructive criticism.. when you make a video about crafting materials and salvaging. You may want to move your camera to a different corner so we can actually see what you recieve from salvaging when you reference it.
I would actually suggest to not sell Legendary/Unique weapons since they give Baleful Fragments when you salvage them. And you need these materials to upgrade your weapons, and afaik you also use them when you imprint a new weapon. And the only way to get them is from salvaging Legendary/Unique weapoons - So yeah, sell all rare items, and all Uniques/Legendary, but salvage the Unique/Legendary weapons imo. But ofc, if you feel like you don't need em, just sell. Just a tip for newer players, since you actually need em once you start to gear up, upgrade stuff etc.
For most classes (or maybe all?), when it comes to weapons, prioritize ilvl, since the weapon damage directly correlates with your DPS. For the rest of the gear, affixes are more important, since they then boost your attacks, the exception being when you change world tier. Going from normal items to sacred and then to ancestral and even then it depends on the affixes (i kept a sacred ring from around lvl 60 to 83 or 84 because it had almost perfect affixes/rolls, for instance)
How does one sell (XBOX S) POTS?? AS IN the buff Elixers?? To make room for the somewhat better ŴHISPER drops?? They have a sell value, minimal, yes, but I see no SELL options at, say, Alchemist shop.
I just sell all of the higher priced items and salvage the rest of the rare and lower items. Uniques I salvage or extract depending on if it's something I can use.
Salvaging everything until 50, then Selling Whites and Blues and then selling Uniques since Legendaries give the same amount of material but also a lot less Gold
you can refince resources at one of the vendors, I forgot which one, but you can turn iron ore into silver with a 4/5 to 1 ratio I believe. same with leather and some other i never look at.
When you dropped all the rawhide the first thing that popped into my head was: Rolling, rolling, rolling Rolling, rolling, rolling Keep moving, moving, moving Though they're disapproving Keep them dogies moving Rawhide!
Leveled 2 characters to 100 since June 1st. No life, yeah I know. 100% the issue has been gold. I've got over 1000 of each legendary material by deconstructing the cheaper legendaries. I pick up every single yellow I see to sell. Max rolling perfect items has been an extremely expensive endeavor and I just cannot ever have enough gold to edge out a new piece that's 1% better but costs 10 million each reroll. Maybe it's a gambling addiction idk. But one of my perfect max rings took 100 million gold before I even saw the 4th stat I wanted for the first time. 🤷♂️
I expected that you will also mention that if you're good at checking item stats and can find good stuff, you can trade it to other people for millions of gold.
I am always running low on Veiled Crystals and gold so I have to go back and forth salvaging and selling. Re-rolling gear is quite costly in materials so I never find myself with a surplus. How can I fix this?
I pretty much sell everything, always salvage legs thou, If i'm in dire need of mats then I can do a few runs of inventory and usually have enough to do what i need, the only thing I was short on a few times was veiled crystals but a little bit of farming in WT4 and you will get a bunch, if not salvage rares for a bit
have they changed the salvage values? i´m 67 and have barely 50 baleful fragments etc. i do aswell only get 1 every 4-5 salvaged legendaries ... til now i´ve not upgraded an item up to the point those were needed...
I was just about to start this myself but that was because I screwed up and dumped all my gold on upgrading all my gems vs just doing it when I needed them
So I noticed when I was enchanting a legendary I got a warning that it would be account bound and untradeable. But all my legendaries show as "account bound" already. What am I missing?
I'm like level 53 or something like that, and the legendary mats is no where to be seen. I have been able to make like 2 sockets in 50 levels and I barely have enough mats to put a legendary aspects on one new item
Your stock of mats is considerably bloated compared to the average player entering endgame. I would really recommend striking a balance of salvaging all unwanted rare ARMOR, while selling rare WEAPONS + all common/magic drops. Do what you want with legendaries, but chasing a couple rerolls will make you mat and cash poor incredibly quickly if you just do one or the other.
Savaged my best rare helm as a noob it hurt my soul it was 5 lvl ago still haven't found anything as good but fot a legendary staff from the curiosity vendor 👍
As a non hardcore player, I'd say you should always salvage you legendries. Some of us aren't even through the campaign yet or unlocked WT3 and unless you spam end game content you won't have that unlimited supply of mats or gold. Love the vid though, I was really contemplating why I was running low on gold so quickly and yet still had mats (imo they need to kill the gold requirement for respeccing - the most likely time you'll want to respec is when trying new gear and new builds, which is kinda when you're leveling and exploring)
@@via_negativa6183 I do roughly the same currently, I'm still leveling up and so finding a new piece of gear in the 70s gets expensive to modify, add the right aspect and etc. I find it insane when I see people with like over 1000 already. haha
You've got hundreds and thousands of these materials that I am always running out of and having to salvage everything then I always run out gold and have to sell everything and it just keeps going back and forth lol
You're either sub level 60 or you're playing the game incredibly inefficiently. You should have an abundance of both gold and resources without much effort
Yes he mentions this. The problem is you still have to manually hover over each and press the spacebar, which is no different than just clicking them at the vendor.
i salvage all rares and legends, sell magic and whites. cuz the blue and whites only give rawhide and leather, no need for a whole bunch of that when i'm already at 5k of em
@@reidmarc it cost 5 rawhide to make 1 superior. 5x20=100. You can quickly convert them 100 at a time and have plenty of space for more rawhide. Obviously it would be nice if it wasn’t capped at 20 at a time but it works
Yeah i always check for transmogs. But honestly when you play a class long enough you start to know if you get a new transmog or not. But I've been salvaging everything at lv 68 since i always run out of veiled crystals. So unless i need gold i salvage right now.
I just got to 60 this weekend and realized I needed a lot of gold to keep upgrading my gems. I've started going with the sell all rares, salvage all legendaries strategy. That gives me the crafting materials needed for legendary upgrades and more gold.
Pro Tip: If you are are capped at 9999 with Rawhide or Iron Chunk: just go to the Alchemist and craft Superior Leather/Silver Ore out of it, it's very cheap!
why not trade??? ahh right... diablo 4 has no trading system... worst diablo ever^^

Honestly I'm selling everything just because the enchants are ridiculously overpriced
For rerolling I was like 50k to reroll isn't bad... it suddenly turned into 1 million after 1 roll. Very cool
Hopefully they address this

I pretty much sell everything at this point. I'm level 89 and it's so infrequent to find anything useful. I've found more stuff on my Rogue that was useful for other characters. Plus finding stuff that is over 800 item power is pretty rare and I still have some equipment that is below 800 just because of this.
so in short if you are well into mats. anything that is not sacred or above and is yellow or blue sell it.
( or transmogh then break it down).
Personally, I've been running low on coiling wards, the resource obtained when salvaging armor pieces. Druid has a LOT of build diversity compared to the other classes and I've built up quite a few different armor and weaponsets for many of the builds. There are 5 pieces of armor for each build (vs 3 pieces of jewelry and 1 or 2 weapon slots) and coiling wards are the main gate to upgrade these new armorsets. There is some cross over across builds, but the werebear only / werewolf only stat lines and storm only / earth only stat lines really dilute your target loot pool so I find myself often upgrading a good piece that has lets say a +10% armor line to a new piece that has +24% armor while in werewolf form.
This becomes a non issue when you eventually stop experimenting with builds and achieve bis of course, but it seems like it takes druid a bit longer to get to that point.
Marking an item as Junk takes 1 click. Selling an item takes 1 click. Why do you first mark them instead of just making the desision if item is junk or not while at the vendor and just insta sell it?
I finally got the aspect I want but can't use it since I don't have the required material for any of the legendary items I've salvaged so far. I feel the devs should make some of those materials easier to come by. I'm currently level 40 and the grind is real 🤔
They become obscenely easy to get once you're in WT3/4. Hold on to the aspect, because you're going to replace all your gear soon, anyway at WT3. Below level 50, don't invest much into minmaxing your gear -- just keep your head down and keep grinding XP so you can replace all your gear.
@@drach420 Awesome, thanks for the tip! I've extracted a few aspects and holding on to them. I'm only level 49 and early in Act 4...yep I did way too many side quests. Focusing just on the story missions now since I want to complete the campaign before season 1 starts 🙂
I am wondering why ive heard people are mad about the material cap and want blizzard to increase it. Like why? There is no way in hell you are gonna use 9000 of a single material. And even if you did use majority of them, you would stock back up pretty easy.
You can actually craft Silver Ore with Veroka (Elixir Lady) using Iron Chunk😃👍
I'm in the mid 60s, and still never have enough veiled crystals. That may just be because I haven't gotten on the dungeon grind just yet, been completing all the side quests, altars, etc first. Also it may just be that I've been upgrading, enchanting, and putting aspects on any upgrades I find since like level 50, so I'm always out of gold and mats lol
Grind helltide and choose the mystery chests to open they're 175 shards and usually give more then 2-3 legendaries.
Veiled crystals start dropping from mobs. You'll have thousands soon
you didn't salvaged rares then, I have plenty and used too upgrading.
1) you don't need to finish everything to complete the renown(altars are great and need them only once)
2)Dungeons are more beneficial than the side quests for both renown and farming
@@AlienAmongst I'm aware of helltides, I've done a bunch of them. Also I only open the 175 chests.
I'm always low on veiled crystals and fiend roses.
You can use your rawhide to craft superior leather and so on.
I sell almost everything. I am capped on a few things (when are they implementing the cap removal) so very little need to salvage. I also upgrade my gems every once in a while, and that averages about 20 million gold every time I do it, so gold is King.
The closest thing to sell all that I have found is checking all as junk, then upon the first sold, all other junk is sold as well.
I only salvage gear now if it has a transmog I can unlock.
Dev feature request: buttons at the vendor similiar to black smith for sell all junk, rare, magic items.
Also if you mark a sigil as junk so you know which to salvage, and then mark some items as junk, and then sell the junk item too it sells the sigil! Buyback cost is 1:1 (sigil sells for 1 gold and buy back is 1 gold) but its annoying and you can lose the powder.
Need the junk sell feature to only affect the current tab.
Need a salvage junk sigils buttin on occultist
Need sell junk/magic/rare items button on the vendor that only affects the current tab.
It's kind of already in the game. If you mark items as junk in your inventory, then right click one to sell at the vendor, it will sell all items that you've marked.
you sound very lazy. It takes way more developer time to make the things that would take you all together 10 minutes per month.
@@Xylasider Honestly, at least in PC, what's the advantage of the "mark as junk" button? Since you need to click space in everything you want to mark as junk as opposed to right clicking in the vendor and selling the item. Seems redundant to me, unless I'm missing something.
@@heimdallcvl I think the intended game loop, and what I've adopted, is you're checking gear as you go to see if it's an upgrade or aspect you want, and marking it junk if it isn't for a quick sell once you get back to town.
Maybe I'm a nerd but I track my main materials week-over-week in a spreadsheet. This lets me identify any trends if there's a specific item trending downwards over time, and I can adjust accordingly. Even though I sell everything, I'm lvl 80 and at a point where basically everything keeps going up, with the exception of gold which is pretty volatile based on rolling for affixes.
Constructive criticism.. when you make a video about crafting materials and salvaging. You may want to move your camera to a different corner so we can actually see what you recieve from salvaging when you reference it.
If you're max on raw hides you can convert them into superior leather so you dont waste them
20 at a time lol, not happening.
I would actually suggest to not sell Legendary/Unique weapons since they give Baleful Fragments when you salvage them. And you need these materials to upgrade your weapons, and afaik you also use them when you imprint a new weapon. And the only way to get them is from salvaging Legendary/Unique weapoons - So yeah, sell all rare items, and all Uniques/Legendary, but salvage the Unique/Legendary weapons imo. But ofc, if you feel like you don't need em, just sell. Just a tip for newer players, since you actually need em once you start to gear up, upgrade stuff etc.
Games been out 2 weeks. We are all newer players. It's a new game. Even the no life streamers don't have it all sorted yet.
that is only correct if the item is ilvl 400 or higher.
anything lower won't give baleful fragment
Could you explain if we should prioritize stats or item level when leveling? Im currently WT3
For most classes (or maybe all?), when it comes to weapons, prioritize ilvl, since the weapon damage directly correlates with your DPS. For the rest of the gear, affixes are more important, since they then boost your attacks, the exception being when you change world tier. Going from normal items to sacred and then to ancestral and even then it depends on the affixes (i kept a sacred ring from around lvl 60 to 83 or 84 because it had almost perfect affixes/rolls, for instance)
I only salvaged one unique, when I saw it gave nothing extra I decided to only sell them because of that 150k gold price tag.
How does one sell (XBOX S) POTS?? AS IN the buff Elixers?? To make room for the somewhat better ŴHISPER drops?? They have a sell value, minimal, yes, but I see no SELL options at, say, Alchemist shop.
I just sell all of the higher priced items and salvage the rest of the rare and lower items. Uniques I salvage or extract depending on if it's something I can use.
Salvaging everything until 50, then Selling Whites and Blues and then selling Uniques since Legendaries give the same amount of material but also a lot less Gold
People pick up whites and blues? 😮
I’m gonna feel so weird selling legendaries for gold. Just feels like I should be salvaging them
Which items do you keep and why? I think it'll be a while for most players to get into your situation, if they ever get to level 83.
Thank you for the quick tips :) Do you still pick up gems? Just in case we need them to craft better ones one day...
you can refince resources at one of the vendors, I forgot which one, but you can turn iron ore into silver with a 4/5 to 1 ratio I believe. same with leather and some other i never look at.
When you dropped all the rawhide the first thing that popped into my head was:
Rolling, rolling, rolling
Rolling, rolling, rolling
Keep moving, moving, moving
Though they're disapproving
Keep them dogies moving
Rawhide!
They should get rid of Aspects. If you extract the power then it should be in your codex permanently like the Horadic Cube.
I haven't used the blacksmith to break down items in a really long time. And I still have more materials than I will every use. They keep going up too
Leveled 2 characters to 100 since June 1st. No life, yeah I know. 100% the issue has been gold. I've got over 1000 of each legendary material by deconstructing the cheaper legendaries. I pick up every single yellow I see to sell. Max rolling perfect items has been an extremely expensive endeavor and I just cannot ever have enough gold to edge out a new piece that's 1% better but costs 10 million each reroll.
Maybe it's a gambling addiction idk. But one of my perfect max rings took 100 million gold before I even saw the 4th stat I wanted for the first time. 🤷♂️
*Conclusion - "Addiction to gaming aswell as gambling"
😊
@@PhaRoaH87 I know what I like I guess 🤣
def no life
Salvage mostly early, especially legendary jewelry and weapons. Later on you can sell most things safely.
You can mark things as junk and when you sell one of them they all sell. That's kinda a sell all, but an actual sell all would be nice.
I expected that you will also mention that if you're good at checking item stats and can find good stuff, you can trade it to other people for millions of gold.
I am always running low on Veiled Crystals and gold so I have to go back and forth salvaging and selling. Re-rolling gear is quite costly in materials so I never find myself with a surplus. How can I fix this?
I pretty much sell everything, always salvage legs thou, If i'm in dire need of mats then I can do a few runs of inventory and usually have enough to do what i need, the only thing I was short on a few times was veiled crystals but a little bit of farming in WT4 and you will get a bunch, if not salvage rares for a bit
You can convert rawhide to superior leather to avoid the cap. but is a chore because you can only change 20 at a time.
XDDDDDDDDDD
Do the materials carry over to another character?
I pretty much only salvage legs at this point and sell everything else I don't need for a build. At lvl 73 atm.
have they changed the salvage values? i´m 67 and have barely 50 baleful fragments etc. i do aswell only get 1 every 4-5 salvaged legendaries ... til now i´ve not upgraded an item up to the point those were needed...
I always had the problem in D3 where I just ran out of low level mats because I stopped picking up greys and whites but I had tons of high level stuff
That's why I still pick up white items in D4 now even though I don't need to 😂
yeee but thats why we just go get a random white and convert some of our excess blue/yellow dust into the white mat
I was just about to start this myself but that was because I screwed up and dumped all my gold on upgrading all my gems vs just doing it when I needed them
i ended up just alternating between selling and salvaging on every trip back to town
never been this early before 0.0
Thanks for the content Wudi!!!!!
Is there a way to know what items drop silver ores?
So I noticed when I was enchanting a legendary I got a warning that it would be account bound and untradeable. But all my legendaries show as "account bound" already. What am I missing?
@@TommyV8898it's not a bug, enchanting in general does that. So if you enchant a rare, it becomes account bound.
I'm like level 53 or something like that, and the legendary mats is no where to be seen. I have been able to make like 2 sockets in 50 levels and I barely have enough mats to put a legendary aspects on one new item
On the topic of materials, I find it both hilarious and insulting that the reward from a side quest cache can be like 1 veiled crystal.
Your stock of mats is considerably bloated compared to the average player entering endgame. I would really recommend striking a balance of salvaging all unwanted rare ARMOR, while selling rare WEAPONS + all common/magic drops. Do what you want with legendaries, but chasing a couple rerolls will make you mat and cash poor incredibly quickly if you just do one or the other.
Why does he have barrage when it looks like he uses 2 weapons isn't barrage for bow?
If I am low on gold I vendor, if I am low on veiled crystals I salvage. Have no issues with any other materials.
This is helpful information. Thank you!
I use item price point to decide whether to sell or to savage.
Helpful. Thanks.
Savaged my best rare helm as a noob it hurt my soul it was 5 lvl ago still haven't found anything as good but fot a legendary staff from the curiosity vendor 👍
As a non hardcore player, I'd say you should always salvage you legendries. Some of us aren't even through the campaign yet or unlocked WT3 and unless you spam end game content you won't have that unlimited supply of mats or gold.
Love the vid though, I was really contemplating why I was running low on gold so quickly and yet still had mats (imo they need to kill the gold requirement for respeccing - the most likely time you'll want to respec is when trying new gear and new builds, which is kinda when you're leveling and exploring)
How do you have so much beast parts? I have a lot of crushed beast bones from farming blind burrows but thats it.
Marking Items as Junk make them sellable at once at the vendor
I am always out of gold and i actually ran out of veiled crystals at one point. Never have forgotten souls either.
youre running wt3 am i right? since in wt4 you get more veiled crystals dropped.
I believe forgotten souls only come from helltides
I seem to always need Veiled Crystal and am constantly running out. Is there a better way to get that material than salvaging rares?
I try to salvage till I have a store of about 200 then sell every thing remember you pick them up alot in helltide and such
@@via_negativa6183 I do roughly the same currently, I'm still leveling up and so finding a new piece of gear in the 70s gets expensive to modify, add the right aspect and etc. I find it insane when I see people with like over 1000 already. haha
I just click the sell button then sell what pieces I want. You don't have to mark anything as junk.
I never have enough veiled crystals or gold. the rest of the stuff I don't think ill be able to use
I got the windforce bow, is it any good on the rapidfire build?
You've got hundreds and thousands of these materials that I am always running out of and having to salvage everything then I always run out gold and have to sell everything and it just keeps going back and forth lol
You're either sub level 60 or you're playing the game incredibly inefficiently. You should have an abundance of both gold and resources without much effort
There's already a psuedo-sell-all.
If you sell an item marked as junk at a vendor, it will auto sell everything you have marked.
Yes he mentions this. The problem is you still have to manually hover over each and press the spacebar, which is no different than just clicking them at the vendor.
My tip: depends on what you short on, gold or reusorsec. That is folks
I'm always short on veiled crystals
Salvage until unlocking wt3 as u replace gear too often before to make it worth upgrading
i salvage all rares and legends, sell magic and whites. cuz the blue and whites only give rawhide and leather, no need for a whole bunch of that when i'm already at 5k of em
Refine some rawhide into superior hide so you don’t have to drop rawhide on the floor
20 at a time is a joke though
@@reidmarc it cost 5 rawhide to make 1 superior. 5x20=100. You can quickly convert them 100 at a time and have plenty of space for more rawhide. Obviously it would be nice if it wasn’t capped at 20 at a time but it works
I just started salvaging everything since I never have gold probelms anyway
I do both. I usually do 2 dungeon runs ill salvage and the 3rd i sell
Yeah i always check for transmogs. But honestly when you play a class long enough you start to know if you get a new transmog or not. But I've been salvaging everything at lv 68 since i always run out of veiled crystals. So unless i need gold i salvage right now.
Thanks dude.
Don’t salvage any legendary items?
I do one trip of selling and one of salvage.
I just got to 60 this weekend and realized I needed a lot of gold to keep upgrading my gems. I've started going with the sell all rares, salvage all legendaries strategy. That gives me the crafting materials needed for legendary upgrades and more gold.
Why are you upgrading your gems? There's really no reason to do it. They drop at the higher qualities when you're in wt4 at a decent level.
