Lost Ark Dismantle or Sell: What to Do With Old Gear
In Lost Ark, the best thing to do with old gear is thankfully the best of both worlds. Players should dismantle their old gear, and then sell any junk received from dismantling that gear.
This is because players actually get more money for selling junk than they do selling any pieces of old equipment directly to a vendor.
While in other MMOs and RPGs, it might be better for players to sell their older gear to vendors directly, vendors in Lost Ark simply give more lucrative payouts for junk.
This setup might actually be more favorable as dismantling items all into stackable junk items and eventually selling that off is likely simpler and more convenient than hoarding up random types of undesirable gear in your inventory.
