Sell replaced equipment and materials left after reserving your next recipe. Compare the merchant’s offer for the exact item: Hotfix #4 changed equipment and tool prices. No item is ranked here without current prices, inputs and production times.

Start with surplus, then compare production
If you need gold now, inspect the equipment you no longer use and materials beyond your next planned recipe. Keep a useful alternate loadout before selling a replaced piece.
For a repeatable method, record the current merchant offer and the effort needed to replace the item. If crafting is involved, inspect the ingredients as well as the finished product. A high sale price alone does not make a good production loop.
Best items to sell: make the keep-or-sell decision
| Candidate | Default decision | Check before selling |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment replaced by a better fit | Consider selling | Compare actual stats; keep a useful alternative for your current goal. |
| Ingredients for your selected recipe | Keep the amount you need | Read the current recipe rather than reserving a guessed quantity. |
| Materials beyond your planned needs | Compare the merchant offer | Check other immediate recipes and quest requirements first. |
| Tools you no longer use | Compare before selling | Check their effects against the tool you intend to keep. |
| An item with an unfamiliar purpose | Inspect first | Read the tooltip and relevant production options. |
Why current prices matter
| Item type | Confirmed pricing change | What to compare |
|---|---|---|
| Equipment | Sell prices scale with item level and rarity. | Compare the exact piece, including level and rarity. |
| Existing saved equipment | Saved items receive the pricing update automatically. | Recheck the merchant offer after updating. |
| Tools | Base sell prices were adjusted; the patch gives no amounts. | Use the live offer before making a batch. |
Hotfix #4 changed equipment pricing to account for item level and rarity, and adjusted tool base prices. This makes an older flat-price table an unreliable basis for a sale decision. Read the economic changes ↗
Compare the exact item in your inventory, not only another copy with the same name.
Craft it or sell the materials?
Use this sequence before a large crafting batch:
- Check the merchant value of all ingredients the recipe will consume.
- Check the finished item’s current offer, if you can inspect it reliably.
- Compare the two values before counting the craft as a gold-making step.
- Consider the time spent gathering and crafting, plus any competing use for those materials.
- Separate the value of training a skill from the amount of gold the sale produces.
If either price or the full recipe is unknown, do not scale the batch on a profit assumption. Crafting may still make sense for an upgrade, but that is a different goal.
Early unlock costs observed in a playthrough
Community playthrough · build unconfirmed The narrator describes this run as Early Access. The sequence below comes from its transcript; timestamps identify the observed steps, not speedrun targets. Follow your current quest if it differs.
| Purchase | Price narrated | Video time |
|---|---|---|
| One offered inventory slot | 25 gold | 11:26; 1:26:40 |
| Alchemy station | 1,800 gold | 42:56–43:47 |
| Upgrade station | 2,500 gold | 58:57 |

Use the current offer to set your gold target. The footage narration does not identify sold stacks and unit prices reliably enough to rank profitable items.
What can gold buy at the merchant?
Screenshot reference · current values unconfirmed These are readable examples from official store images. Some resource levels in the image set differ from Hotfix #5. Use them to identify the interface and items; confirm numbers in your installed game before spending.
| Upgrade label shown | Displayed price | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Expand Loot Slot | 2,000 gold | Current capacity and next purchase cost |
| Combat Spell Slot +1 | 2,500 gold | Whether your current spell setup needs another slot |
| Auto-Eat Tier 1 | 1,500 gold | Its current activation conditions |
| Offline Time Limit (8 Hours) | 1,500 gold | Your currently owned cap and the upgrade offered |
| Offline Efficiency (60%) | 1,200 gold | Your current efficiency and the offered upgrade |
These are purchase offers in one example save, not a sell-price ranking or default starting values. An “8 Hours” upgrade label does not mean every new save has an eight-hour offline cap.
Before selling a batch, choose the upgrade you actually need, read its live offer and reserve the recipe inputs listed in the recipe examples.
Merchant and inventory checks
Use the merchant’s current offer as your reference. Before confirming a sale, check the selected item, quantity and what you will have left for your next objective.

Common questions
What is the best item to sell for gold?
Start with replaced equipment and unreserved materials. Compare the exact merchant offers; keep your next recipe’s ingredients. A repeatable best-item ranking still needs measured production costs and times.
Is crafting always more profitable than selling raw materials?
No verified data supports that blanket rule. Compare the finished offer with the value of all consumed ingredients and the time involved.
Why is my item worth something different from an old guide?
Hotfix #4 changed equipment and tool prices. Equipment pricing now accounts for level and rarity, so an older flat value can be misleading.
Where is the gold calculator?
It is not available yet. Current recipes, times and price rules have not been verified well enough for trustworthy profit predictions. The tools page offers a verified milestone lookup and a checklist instead.
