Worth buying and selling items from NPC's

[อานนท์]

So should I spend my gold for buying items from the people or should I save gold so I can buy Legacy boxes from Vulgrim using coins? Because I often get very good items from chests and from bosses and randomly from random monsters. I play second hardest difficulty.

Also should I save all items for upgrading possesed items or always sell all the gray items away?

Oh yeah I didn't realize you can also buy skills from some npc's, so I should I try to buy all the ksills they offer?

You should buy skills.

You can buy items if you want, but until life steal and wrath steal start showing up (around when you reach Level 18), it's not that big a deal (you'll always be finding upgrades as you play normally, so a purchased item is only going to be useful for a few character levels or so).

Gambling with Vulgrim isn't really necessary. There's no reason not to do it, but it's just an alternative to normal loot drops (and will have the same problem as other item purchases).

You only need to save items that have properties you need for your build (if it's a strength build, things like crit chance, crit damage, strength up, etc.). You can sell anything that doesn't have properties you'd want to put on a possessed weapon (if you keep getting arcane crit chance drops, for example, those are never going to be useful to you).

You can save white items that have no properties, but they won't give a lot of XP to a higher-level possessed weapon, so it's also fine to just sell them, especially if you start running out of inventory space. If you have a possessed weapon at the time you get the item, though, you can just feed it that white item right away (as long as you've already built up the property list for the next upgrade).
