What to do with old gear in Lost Ark? Players in the latest online RPG from Amazon Game Studios will quickly find that lower-level gear piles up quickly, just like in any MMO. In most MMOs, the easiest solution is to sell this useless old stuff but is that the best thing to do in this game? Should Lost Ark gear be sold or dismantled? What offers the best Lost Ark gear rewards for the player, selling or dismantling?
Should I sell or dismantle old gear in Lost Ark?
The best thing to do with old gear in New World is to dismantle it, rather than sell it, but any junk received from dismantling that gear can simply be sold.
Players get more money for selling junk than they do selling any old equipment directly to a vendor.
Traditionally in MMOs or RPGs, players collect a lot of useless gear, weapons, equipment, etc. throughout their adventures and then just simply sell the things they don’t need to any vendor. This isn’t the case in Lost Ark, as dismantling that gear and hoarding great piles of junk to sell is more lucrative than keeping all the gear and selling it directly. The reason for this is actually a neat quality-of-life thing — it stops players from filling their inventory with unnecessary baggage, and instead persuades them to dismantle useless items and put everything in a single “junk” slot. It’s really clever, especially as players venturing out into the world of Arkesia can often be far away from the nearest vendor. Just dismantle any useless old gear in Lost Ark and sell the junk later, it’s much more profitable.
Lost Ark is the latest MMO published by Amazon Game Studios, which comes just a few months after New World. For more on New World, here’s the full datamined map, and here’s what to do if it seems like players are hackers or cheaters.
