Diablo 4 constantly rewards the player with various items, such as gold, weapons, and junk or valuables to use and sell. Storage space is one of the game's persistent issues, however, and bags fill up quickly. This can become a vicious cycle as the player begins to sell everything in their possession just to free up inventory slots, and ends up with a hoard of gold that they have no intention of spending.

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. With the current Loot Reborn event focused on improving old gear with several new choices for upgrades, knowing what to keep and what to throw away is even more important.

Diablo 4: Best Overpowered Builds For Season 9

Creating the most exciting character in an RPG can be a lot of fun; here are some of the best overpowered builds in Diablo 4.

Updated May 22, 2024, by Kristy Ambrose: Since the launch of Diablo 4, the game has gone through some changes, which include bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements along with new content. One of the ongoing issues, however, is inventory space, specifically the character's personal bag space. Blizzard remembered to put a lot of cool stuff in this game, but neglected to provide a place to store or carry all of it. That's why it's even more important to know what to keep, what to store, and what to sell when exploring the world of Sanctuary.

10 Abstruse Sigils

Salvage Legendary Jewelry At A Blacksmith

  • Used for upgrading legendary rings and amulets.

The Abstruse Sigils are a recent addition to the game and are part of the Loot Reborn event. Like most of the higher-level materials that have been added to the game, these are used to upgrade existing gear, although it's recommended to stockpile them and wait until endgame content.

Legendary items are easier to find on higher World Tiers and more difficult dungeons and bosses, so players will find more as their character progresses. Once the Jeweler is unlocked at level 20, they can upgrade or salvage rings and amulets, provided the player can provide the materials and a small fee.

9 Greater Affixes

Only Found In Nightmare Dungeons And T4 Difficulty Level

  • Used to upgrade ancestral items, which can be further improved through Masterworking.

Some items may have a stat with a sun next to them, also known as an Affix, that the player may wish to use. In the Loot Reborn Event, Greater Affixes have been introduced to give weapons and armor an even more powerful level. It's a customization detail that allows the player to keep that desired affix while attempting to get something even stronger.

Barbarians that have had enough of being the tank and support for groups in Diablo 4 will find that the Whirlwind build is both fun and lethal.

Take the piece of gear in question to an Occultist, which can 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. Masterworking, a new crafting skill related to gear, can be used to make an Affix into a greater

8 Gem-Laden Geodes

Randomly Found When Mining Ore

  • Bring to a Jeweler and reveal the valuable gems within.

For players who have been practicing their mining, this won't be such a rare find, but they still don't appear very often. A Geode looks like a bag in the player's inventory, but this is a big rock filled with valuable gems and possibly even crafting or Alchemy materials.

When the protagonist uncovers a geode in a zone for the first time, they'll get a quest to return it to a local crafter. This is a tutorial of sorts to teach the player that to harvest the treasure inside. The Geode has to be taken to a certain vendor. One way to save space, an issue in the current game, is to store Geodes in the town stash and break them open when supplies are required.

7 Gear With Transmog

Learned From Certain Pieces Of Gear Upon Salvage

  • Used to change the style, color, and aesthetic of a character's current gear.

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. 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 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.

6 Useful Elixirs

Drop From Chests And Enemies, Or Crafted At An Alchemist

  • Used in fights for permanent and temporary buffs, or as coatings on weapons for improved damage.

This doesn't refer to the health potion that the player upgrades with the Healer NPC, stored in the red bubble on the bottom left of the UI. These are the potions and salves that players can make at the Alchemist provided they have the required materials. Some are essential depending on the character's class and unique build.

The Ironbarb Elivir is one example. It's used for defense and has some AoE abilities, and for some classes, it's a part of their overall talent build. The Third Eye elixir, which increases a character's Dodge ability, is another potion that some classes should never sell.

5 Legendary Equipment

Found In Dungeons On The Highest World Tier

  • Keep for different builds or Salvage for valuable and rare materials.

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, and don't forget the star that will show on the mini-map.

As expected, the Necromancer brings many friends to the party in Diablo 4 and they can be the stars of the show with a solid build investment.

During the start of the game, any piece of legendary gear will be valuable, and will usually have significantly better stats than the armor the player is likely to be wearing. In later levels, players will need specific Legendary Gear rolls for their build. The pieces that aren't needed should be salvaged at the Blacksmith for rare materials like Abstruse Sigils.

4 Herbs

Salvaged In The Wilderness, Included In Caches

Diablo 4 Refining Herbs At The Alchemist
  • Used to make a wide variety of potions and elixirs at the Alchemist. Some are used with the Healer NPC to update health potions.

The various plants and flowers that the main character picks up in the wilderness can be used in Alchemy or potion upgrades, aren't worth very much, and are stored in a bottomless tab that's kept separately from the main inventory. Put all those features together and it's pointless to sell the Herbs.

Herbs that players find early in the game might not have a use until later when the player discovers another recipe, so keeping a few things in storage is handy when it's time to mix something new. Certain herbs are also required for upgrading essential health potions, so it's better to have the needed materials on hand when the time comes.

3 Rare Or Lower Quality Gear

Various Locations Including Enemy Drops And Chests

  • Salvage for materials at a Blacksmith.

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.

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.

2 Gems

Found In Geodes, Drops From Enemies, Found In Chests

  • Use them with the sockets in gear to increase Strength, Critical Hit, Weapon Damage, armor, and health regeneration.

Gems can truly make a build flawless due to the boosts they can give a player, so it's hard to part with them unless the player knows exactly what they need for future builds. As long as they have them, players can then easily swap between them when experimenting with their build.

Legendary Temper Manuals are the best in Diablo 4, offering the highest affixes. Here's all you need to know to get them in season 4.

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 every single gem that is found, despite how inconvenient it is.

1 Neathiron

Salvaged From the Pit Of Artificers At World Tier 4

  • Used for Masterwork Upgrades from Rank 9 and up.

A new crafting material introduced as part of the Loot Reborn event, Neathiron is a Legendary item intended for endgame gear. It can only be obtained from the Pit of Artificers, also known simply as The Pit, which is a Tier 4 dungeon that players have to unlock by running a level 46 or higher Nightmare dungeon first.

Neathiron is the highest level of Masterworking crafting material available, used for Tier 60 and up, but it's not the only one available. Obducite is the first one players will find for Tier 1 to 29, and Ingolith covers Tiers 30 to 59. Considering how difficult all of these are to obtain, it's best to stockpile them instead of sell them.
