Newbie Tip – Don't Destroy Gray ItemsPosted by xenith on March 12th, 2009

Don't Throw Away Your Junk!

Any item that your character loots that has its name in gray on the tooltip is worthless to other players. That means it is vendor trash. Now most gray items don’t sell for much individually, but if you collect stacks of them, its amazing how much extra cash you can get at low levels just by selling those stacks to an NPC vendor.

Don’t make the mistake of destroying tons of gray items because you don’t want to go back to the vendor to sell when your bags are full. You are just destroying gold that way. But if you really do need to make some space in your bags, destroy gray items that don’t stack or that don’t drop very regularly. If an item doesn’t drop a lot, you won’t collect a big stack of them so that inventory slot is not being put to such good use.

In the early game, bigger bags should be a priority. If you aren’t being twinked by a higher level character, check the auction house regularly for cheap player-made bags. Bags only drop rarely so you won’t want to wait for that. 10 slotters sell pretty cheaply on most servers now. If you are being twinked, get a full set of the biggest bags that you can as soon as possible.
