Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a tricky game for many players, but that’s okay! It’s important for games to give you room for improvement and to learn from your mistakes. However, the game’s design punishes certain mistakes over others. One mistake players commonly make is selling off incredibly useful items to lighten their load. Here are several suggestions for items you should never sell in Dragon’s Dogma 2.
5. Training Tomes
These tomes are incredibly valuable and helpful items that teach useful skills, such as for your pawns. These include Chirurgeon specialization, which teaches your main pawn to use curatives on you or your allies. It means they’ll be able to help you, such as with healing, even if they’re not a Mage, for instance. This is huge and means that the tomes that teach these skills should be kept in storage if not used immediately.
4. Any Crafting Materials
These are tempting to sell off in a pinch, but they often play a more valuable role in the game’s crafting and enhancement mechanics. Instead, place them in your storage at the inn or in your home to keep them from weighing you down. Later, you can withdraw them for enhancement purposes, as your storage system is flexible enough to hold an incredible variety of items.
Enhancing otherwise underwhelming gear and selling it is more worthwhile than selling raw materials.
3. Portcrystals
You can find miniature Portcrystals, such as rewards from Sphinx riddles, found in Griffin nests, and more. But these are, by nature, incredibly hard to find and are massively valuable. After all, you can use them and place them in a notable point of interest to warp back to, including places inaccessible by Oxcart. These are invaluable, and even more expensive, so consider the Forgery option found at Checkpoint Rest Town!
2. Ferrystones
Despite looking and indeed being incredibly valuable, it’s best to keep or store these items. They will save you oodles of time and are a valuable Fast Travel method in Dragon’s Dogma 2, so you should never sell them! Leaning into that, though, another tempting item is even more valuable when you try to sell off.
1. Wakestones
Wakestones are so valuable you have to find three individual shards to complete them in the overworld. They’re a pain to gather, and while they’re helpful items and valuable enough for a Sphinx riddle solution, you shouldn’t sell them off. In a pinch, they make the difference against a tough enemy.
Beyond these items, you’re pretty safe to sell most other items. You can profit from enhanced armor, such as enhancing the free starter equipment you get for new vocations. But always be careful of what you sell, remember that you can potentially get more Gold from quests.
