Summary
- Don't sell weapons, armor, accessories; always find a way to use or upgrade them for maximum benefit.
- Hoard cooking ingredients and dishes to boost stats; aim to reach Cooking level 5 for increased earnings.
- Avoid selling materials, consumables, and rare ores; craft or save them for higher-tier crafting and essential in-game items.
Throne and Liberty features hundreds of items that drop from enemies as well as from quest rewards. As such, having a little too much can be a problem for players, particularly for those who start to hoard materials and consumables like there's no tomorrow.
Throne And Liberty: Best Staff Skills To Unlock
Players will want to unlock the following staff skills in Throne and Liberty sooner rather than later.
So, it is understandable why Throne and Liberty players will feel the need to empty their packs on a merchant's sell tab. However, those considering going down this path should know that there are items that shouldn't be sold for Sollant under any circumstances. Here are some things that should not be sold to merchants in Throne and Liberty.
5 Weapons, Armor, Accessories
There's Always Something You Can Do With Your Old Equipment
One of the more particular things about Throne and Liberty that draws more attention is the fact that "bound" equipment that cannot be sold to other players or trade always has some use. For example, if players have a full set of leveled armor, they can pass down that armor level to another piece of armor, even if it is from a higher tier, and save precious Growthstones. It costs Sollant, though, and the higher the new item level, the less enchantment level it will pass down to the new item players want to enchant. On the other hand, copies of the same items that players do not need to use for enchantments can be used in their Lithography Books and exchanged for rewards.
Once players dry up those options, they can ultimately Dissolve the items into valuable materials that are harder to get than Sollant. Some items can also be sold for in-game currency through the Auction House, but this isn't the case for all of them. That's why there are three previous instances to "get rid" of unnecessary equipment that can still make it useful.
4 Cooking Ingredients And Dishes
They're Tremendously Useful, And Players Should Hoard Or Use Them Regularly
Cooking is quite fun since players can create dozens of useful dishes to boost their stats. There are three buffs that can be active at the same time: Combat, Utility, and Miscellaneous. Each buff can be identified by the icon (a pile of coins for Miscellaneous, an atom for Utility, Armor/Blades for Combat), and players can eat each type of these foods to gain three separate buffs that will vary in duration according to the food's quality.
So, selling food and ingredients to craft better recipes for scrap money (Sollant) is never a good idea. Better yet, players should invest in leveling up Cooking until reaching level 5. Then, they can craft Big Egg Custard, which increases all Sollant drops by 50%. This way, players can get money while also developing a useful secondary skill.
3 Materials
Always Needed For Crafting; Selling Them Is A Mistake
Needless to say, materials are for crafting, not for sale. Selling useful mats like Magithread, Starwood, and Lithographs can turn into quick cash if players are in need of Sollant, but they should resist the urge to do so since they are required for higher tier crafting. This still applies even if they're low tier, since all materials can be converted into their higher versions.
Instead, players should hoard them until needed or refine them through their respective vendors when there's a chance. There's no point in selling them, since the crafting benefits are higher than just getting rid of materials for regular currency.
2 Consumables
If You Run Out Of Them, You'll Regret It
Some consumables can be crafted, others need to be bought from special vendors like the Guild Vendor and the Sundries Merchants, so stacking up on healing items such as Healing Crystals or World Tree Leaves is always a must-do for Throne and Liberty players. Having the right amount of consumables is not always easy, more so if players are constantly participating in activities such as Raids, Dungeons, and PvP, since they run out so fast, it's hard to even notice.
Throne And Liberty: Tips For Playing Solo
Players looking to conquer Throne and Liberty solo may want to heed the following tips and strategies.
On the other hand, Stellarite can also be crafted, so selling its components is a big no. Plus, Stellarite can be useful in the end-game, and players will be needing loads of it. No matter what, Throne and Liberty players shouldn't sell Stellarite Element or High-Quality Essence; these should be saved for later.
1 Rare Ores
Selling Them Is A Dire Mistake
Now, here's a tricky one, since some Rare Ores like Precious Marind can yield a whopping 450,000 Sollant if sold to a merchant. The temptation is great, but players shouldn't dare sell these Ores to regular merchants. These are hard to come by and are needed for some of the most expensive (and powerful) items in the game, such as the High Tier Epic Equipment crafted by Vendors.
In the worst-case scenario, players can sell these rare Ores through the Auction House and earn some Lucent, which is tradeable in-game currency that they can later use to purchase the season pass of the game and other paid boosters and cosmetics. Farming Precious Ore to sell at the Auction House is also a good way to earn those items players yearn for but cannot afford to spend real money on. So, Throne and Liberty players shouldn't just sell these to vendors for Sollant. Instead, they should use them for crafting high-tier equipment and consumables, or they can sell them in the Auction House.
