Guild Wars 2

I thought an answer would be somewhere but I google’ed it for a bit and couldn’t find it. But there has to be some method to the madness so I’ll ask yall.

I can’t sell just any item to any vendor and wanted to know what the system is. I thought that if it was a weapon or piece of armor that it could be sold to a weaponsmith or amorsmith after I get an upgrade, but apparently not.

So which vendors will buy which item types or is there one master vendor out there that will just buy it all or are these items unsellable?

Thanks,

I dont know the system all that well I took off for the better part of a year but I do know that items bought with “Karma” cant be vendered back nor can they be broken down with salvage kits.

You also can’t sell if it’s soulbound. Some items can only be destroyed. But ya, any armor from a karma vendor is soulbound on acquire, so you won’t be able to sell it, and as I said, sometimes you can’t even salvage stuff. If you can’t sell on TP and can’t sell to vendor, just destroy it if you don’t want it anymore.

I haven’t been playing very long — just a few days, but anything that can be sold will have a “value” at the bottom of the description. Items with no coinage were probably bought with karma and have to be banked or destroyed.

A better way of selling gear (though not soulbound or karma) is to right-click and choose “Sell at Trading Post.” You can do this from any location; you don’t have to be near a vendor. You’ll get a bit more this way than if you just unload it at a merchant of some sort. To sell to a merchant

You can also “salvage” items for crafting ingredients if you don’t want to sell it. However, you can’t salvage items bought with karma.

You can sell soulbound items to vendors just fine, but the source of the item has an impact. Items obtained with karma cannot be sold to vendors, for example, nor can they be salvaged (boo to that!). If we are talking about loot drops, they can definitely be sold to vendor, soulbound or no.

Also .. often when people can’t sell items it is just because they have them in invisible bags.

These bags are there for the reason to store items in them that you don’t want to sell by accident

Ok, thanks for the info folks. Also good tip about the monetary listing on the item tool tip itself as to if it can be sold. Guess I salvage what I can and just dump the rest.

thanks

For items you can’t sell, drop them in the Mystic Forge with other items you can’t sell. It’s a gamble, but you could get something that is able to be sold/salvaged which is better than simply deleting the things.
