Shinies on the ground? Keep or sell?

[TheBlueFox]

Without spoiling anything, will I be okay if I sell those medicinal herbs and bits and bobs that I find on ground shinies?

Are they materials for something later?

[TrowGundam]

The herbs permenantly increase a stat. Use those. They will respawn once you've picked over half of all the herbs in the game (in other words there will always be half of the total in the game, but the one that respawns is random). Some of the materials are used for Upgrading weapons, so I'd keep those. I think the coins (I've gotten a bunch of copper and silver coins) are safe to seel, but I've been paranoid and just kept them. I'm getting enough money just from grinding to master skills and complete my Monster Book (some drops take FOREVER to get).

Really the only things you should be selling are the drops you get from certain monsters and bosses, those being the ones that sell for 50000 gald, to 200000 gald along with any copper coins, and junk at the bottom of the list of SELL items.

Everything else is very useful, you don't have to keep everything inf act you could go the entire game without upgrading a single item you get dropped you just handicap yourself critically which makes the game super hard, almost unbarable.

If you're talking about the stat increasing herbs no.

If you're talking about any item in the "rest" category that has a small pouch icon on the left side (bronze coins and stuff) yes they're meant to be sold.

Items you pick up, be it copper coins, and what not with a bag icon at the bottom of your SELL tab, are useless and only good for being sold.

Salvaged materials and Enchancing materials are used for upgradign weapons to unlock more abilities, like 8 Souls rather than 3 - 4.

You can sell everything and just go with a regular sword, it just makes it more challenging.

So...

Herbs are good
Red Herbs are gooderer
Potions, Salvage, Enchancing materials are great.

Junk is junk, you sell that otherwise juse sell everything and have fun with long ass battles xD

When I said herbs, I orignally meant the "Grass" item that has in it's description it has some medical properties, however it is one of the "JUNK" items, so I guess I can sell it.

Herbs that boost stats I horde until i'm ready to use

Yep, if it's Junk, it's Junk.
It's got no value besides being sold :P

Everything that has the same item icon as the coins and those "herbs of small medical value" are only there to make a bit of money for you (all of them are bellow the food ingredients in the misc item category)

By the way, all of the items in that category (enhancement, food and junk) stack to 99 instead of 15, so you can definitely wait until you have a lot before selling, unless you are in need of money and/or want to rush shop levels.

Yeah I was debating whether or not to use them to pad out shop levels. I'm playing on Hard (haven't unlocked chaos) so I'm getting more money and items, but less xp

FYI you only intense early in the game but chaos gets unlocked near the end.

Is it not 500 battles in Hard unlocks intense, and 500 battles in intense unlocks Chaos?

[Fel]

it was 300 and 400 in previous games, and no.
In this game, you will have to hunt a specific side boss for Intense (the snake lady in the lake zone where there are fairy, snakes and furrets as enemies).
Chaos requires you to beat the story.

Can you start Chaos as it's a fresh playthrough or are you forced to carry over certain things?

So long as you have GRADE you can transfer over items, costumes, artes, etc.
