The Best Way To Decide WHAT TO SELL In Guild Wars 2!

One of the questions which I find myself being asked rather a lot is "Am I good to sell this item?". It can often be tricky to tell whether you're safe to sell an item in Guild Wars 2 or whether you're better off hanging on to it - and with this mini-guide, I hope to help provide a fairly concise answer!

I hope that this handy mini-guide will help you figure out what parts of your inventory need to stay, and which you can safely let go! Do you have any tips or tricks when it comes to the timing of selling items? Leave a comment below!

Some of the stronger farming maps to potentially look out for:
Domain of Istan (Season 4, "Daybreak")
Dragonfall (Season 4, "War Eternal")
Drizzlewood Coast South (Icebrood Saga, "No Quarter")
Bjora Marches (Icebrood Saga, "Whisper in the Dark/Shadow in the Ice)

What's your favourite kind of sandwich? also you should cover more crab toss

One of the things I love about MightyTeapot (MT) is that you can trace his livestream discussions of what's needed to improve GW2. This video seems like a direct reaction to a recent livestream discussion from last week where MT's cohost was explaining the anxiety people get selling items. MT didn't understand the mentality because he doesn't think that way.

Instead of invalidating those thoughts, MT accepts them and makes this video to help. This is a bigger lesson that people may realize. Sometimes we can't understand what other people are going through... but we can listen and try and help as best we can.

Great vid!

@Teapot, thank you for taking time to explain this great game to people. Keep up the good work

Selling things is always a problem for me because I'm always working on legendary items. RN I'm working on Astralaria, Nevermore, Vision, Verderarch, Sunrise, Kraitkin, one Gen 3, light wvw shorts and 2 remaining sigils.
These projects require a lot AND once I'm done with one, I usually have two new things I'm looking forward to craft.

These guides are helpful to me as a newer player, in WoW I would just vendor everything, but i found your content within my first week of starting at so i just horded everything up until 1000 in material storage and sold things as the started taking up bag space, although spring is here and time to clean

intermediate tips on being a good tag would be helpful. we know how to split up subgroups by now but what things make a tag great vs merely adequate?

[jannekosterhaus]

i like that it isn't an hour long ^^

[markthornton]

I am a newly returning player after several years away, and I'm having the greatest play experience thanks to your incredible guides and videos. I also appreciate your friendliness as you explain everything so clearly. Thank you so much!

[Qydric]

Love the format, informative and straight to the point, without telling us exactly what to do!

[Snebzor]

Instructions unclear. Gambled all gold.

[shadycat]

These mordrem and evergreen lodestones will surely be useful someday COPIUM. I can’t possibly sell them.

[Ilergete]

2:45 "That should ever ruin your hopes and dreams" Good thing I'm not going for HOPE and The Dreamer then.

[luckypeanut]

Constantly caught inbetween "I want to sell my junk cuz I know I don't need it" and "what if I need them" after selling all my ectos and mystics as a newbie so I could convert to gems thinking I'd never go for a legendary

[Eranta]

awesome video as always :) thanks. I have a question/video idea for you: as a beginner / returning player, which *non material* item should i keep and which ones do i sell/trash? (especially looking at all of the "trophy" items in the game)

[MunitionsDudTester]

what's your favorite kind of sandwich?

These videos are great. Short and to the point and open-ended enough to be a guide for learning instead of a step-by-step rulebook.

Legendaries are not my goal any time soon, since i just started playing less than 2 months ago and im not gonna play any other characters beside mechanist(main) and then ranger. I just want material to craft ascended armor, i already have all the trinkets so what materials do i sell???? Still no idea I'm (Leatherworker) for medium aromor

[thorne]

Best sandwich includes a balance between all necessary attributes. Also, you should probably cover more crab toss for those who might not understand (grapple gaming!)

[aaronkerr]

As I neared finishing all my legendary goals, I noted my gold levels continued to rise, largely because I no longer need to craft any gear for my toons - ty Armory.

So I decided on a gold cap, and now any gold I have in excess of that cap I'll just convert to Gems when the rate is good. When something new appears on the Gem Store, instead of hmmming of huhhhhing over it, I just buy it. This excess resources now. Same with items I see on the TP. A dye I don't have but will never use? Buy it because why not.

[Gojiradogzillagodzilla]

As a new player this is great! My goal right now is getting the Griffon and im sitting on 123 gold, i sold some materials for 30ish gold the other day and was feeling kind of guilty, but i dont wanna craft legendary weapons anytime soon so this actually helps me feel a bit better since i'm still 127 gold away from my Griffon lol
