Hi I'm trying the 15 day trial, and now it automatically picks up all loot. what do you guys do, stop leave a dungeon and go out and sell or do you just delete everything? It makes me want to sell the stuff but i don't see a merchant in the tutorial dungeon. If you had to stop and sell everything it would be like every 5 mins. So I'm guessing just delete the crap?

I would run and sell a few times. Learn what sells for the most and what stacks

up to 10. Some of the items are plain useless. the tinder boxes sell for 10 copper

and you get a lot of them when you don't need them. I just use them as fast as I can

and destroy or drop the rest.


Do the BG (battlegrounds) quests for the fastest xp, gold, and gear.

Do the level 5 and level 10 suits of armor demon breach quests offered by

Raymond and his friend in the starter city just outside the tutorial. They give

full suits of armor that last from level 1 to level 6, then 5-10. I have hit a

character (caster) to level 20 with those suits.


This is the most help you can get to get level 19-20 while learning the game and

moving quickly.

Depends on what's dropping.

If you're talking weapons & armour bits, might want to spend a bit of time learning enough metalworking/clothworking/leatherworking/woodworking to salvage them. The salvage is generally worth about ten times as much as the drops sell for, and stacks quite nicely.

Otherwise, you're experiencing the side-effects of Mythic changing the drop rates in dungeons in order to get more coin into the hands of low-levels....

Loading yourself down has always been a challenge. It is part of playing the game to learn to manage the game.


If you are solo you need to decide how important it is to sell the items and have more space for more loot (is the loot valuable enough to be of concern or is it trash loot for trash prices)?


Etiquette says that if you are in a group you stay and tough it out. It is bad form to gimp a group by leaving just to go sell or to make others wait while you go sell. If you are in a group it should be a group decision to take a break and go sell.

Ok say i raise clothworking a little, or maybe the spellcrafting i think? where you can make +stats for items and gear. Would i then be able to salvage cloth items + like chain or mail? or just cloth because I'm clothworking? Also you said the salvaged stuff sells 10 times more, do you mean to a NPC vendor or to other people via trade channel or housing market?

I would not recommend spending time farming money at low levels. It just not worth the time it takes, unless you *really* need money for leveling. Do not farm more than you need for essential leveling equipment (tanks generally need the most equipment, ranged classes can get by with very little). Crafting will just slow you down, I wouldn't recommend it. Get a character to 50 asap *then* begin to farm money.
