Not sure which is better to do in D4? Here are the decisions you need to make depending on the scenario.
As soon as you find better gear and find your inventory filling up, you will wonder – should I sell, salvage, drop, or stash loot to make space in Diablo 4? Well, you will need to do different things at different points in your journey. If you are new to the game or just curious to know what to do with all the items, here’s a guide that explains when you should sell and when you should salvage, stash or drop items in D4.

To drop items or not depends on the situation you are in. While gold is very important for multiple reasons (the Skill Tree and paragon board refunds will cost gold too), you will have more than enough eventually. If you’re in a situation where you have something like 18M+ Gold, your build has all Legendary items, but you’ve found rare items – you can drop them if you are in the middle of a dungeon/event and need some space in your inventory. This is because you neither need the money you’ll earn for selling them nor the salvage materials.
If you’ve received Sacred, Ancestral, and Legendary items with good stats that you might need if you switch up your build in the future, stash them. Don’t make the mistake of selling them because you don’t know when they will drop again. So, for safety, stash them by going to a Waypoint location which has the ‘chest’ icon on it.
This stash can also be accessed by your alt characters, so if you’ve received items for another class and plan to play as that class, stash it for the future. But since there are limited tabs in the Stash as well, even after buying new ones, you will have to empty the slots out eventually.
And that’s the basis of when you should sell, salvage, drop, and stash items in Diablo 4. If you are getting started with the game and are wondering how some mechanics like ‘crowd control’ work, we’ve got just the guide for you.
