Quick Links
As you venture through different planets and cities inStarfield, you’ll get to interact with a ton of items across various types. Some of these items can sell for a good price, while others are simply not worth picking up. There are also a few items that can help you massively both in and out of combat.
RELATED:Starfield: Best Vendors
Almost all of these items can be sold to various vendors in the game, and it’s important to know which ones you should keep at any cost since these items can be far more valuable for your character than the Credits they’ll be sold for.
Weapons You Should Never Sell
Weapons will be one of the most abundant type of items you find in Starfieldsince you’re able to get one from weapon racks, vendors, and every time you defeat an enemy. As you get deeper into the game, most of these weapons will be quite useless since you’ll already have much better guns in your inventory.
However, it’s important to check every single weapon before you decide to sell it. Some of these weapons can have raremods that you might not be able to unlock until you reach the late gameand research Weapon Engineering a bunch. These weapons are worth keeping even if they don’t deal a lot of damage.
Another important type of weapon you should always keep is thelimited weapons that can only be acquired through a quest.
One example of this is the Ember gun that can be encounteredduring the Top Secrets missionfrom Ryujin Industries.
Pay Attention To Your Gear
As you explore different areas during the main quest, side quest, or exploration in Starfield,you’ll come across many Spacesuits, Helmets, and Jetpacks. These three items have specific tabs in your inventory, but they can be quite difficult to handle due to their high mass, which fills up the inventory quickly.
This leads to scenarios where you’ll be inclined to sell these items away,but once again, it’s important to check their stats. Most of these items have two types of stats:
You should ideally have one Spacesuit with high resistance on each one of the stats mentioned above. Thiswill allow you to freely explore planets regardless of their Planetary Conditions. Other than that, you can try to go through the modded stats of your gear and keep them safe if they have something you’d like.
Increased Cargo Capacity is one of thebest-modded stats you can haveif you’re not using external mods.
Never Sell Your Ammo
Starfield makes it a point to give you a ton of ammo for every type so thatyou always have some for at least one type of gun in your Quick Slot list. The best part about these is that they don’t have any mass, so you can have thousands of ammo for one type and feel no weight of it whatsoever.
When you inspect ammo in your inventory, you’ll see that there’s some value attached to them, which means that you may sell them away. However,it’s highly recommended to keep your ammo for two reasons:
Simply put, the value you get from selling ammo is far less than you getting a great gun down the line andusing the ammo yourself.
Negative Effect Treatment Is Important
After playing the game for a bit and picking up everything in your way, you’llrealize that the Aids section of your inventory will have the most items. This is because various eatables can be found during exploration, and some of them can be quite good to have during combat.
You might want to sell these Aid itemsbecause of their sheer number - and you should - except a few. When you’re inspecting an Aid item in your inventory, you’ll be able to see a Treatment section on the right side. If an Aid item can treat one of the negative status effects in the game, it’s highly recommended to keep it.
In fact, theonly Aid items you need in your inventory are Med Packs and Treatment items. you’re able to keep the rest in your Cargo or sell them to one of the vendors in the game.
Resources Are A No-No
There are many ways to get resources in Starfield. you may explore various planets and farm raw resources yourself, buy them from mining vendors, orexplore different buildings to get processed resources like Adaptive Frame. All these resources can be found in the same tab, and they’re extremely important in the game.
When you progress through the story, you’ll start getting difficult enemies, which will require you to upgrade your weapons and gear. This can be done byusing resources in the Research Lab and various workbenches in the game. Moreover, the resources are a crucial part if you want to focus on outpost building.
You can still buy most resources quite easily, butit’s better to not sell them in the first place.
If you’re running out of storage, you may always store them at a random outpost and forget about them.
Should You Sell Misc Items?
Miscellaneous items constitute all the random items that you can find during exploration. This areaalso contains all the Key cards and entry tickets you can get. Generally, you’d be okay if you sold most of these items except a few:
