Thanks for the vid! Fun fact if you weren't aware: any character can use any crafting bench to access their bank / materials. Just noticed you screen hopping to reach the actual bank vendor but you can do so even more easily by just going to the nearest crafting bench. Cheers!
Great point about the crafting stations! I do use them sometimes but out of shear habit I often just go to the specific bank NPC. Great timesaver though haha.
i keep the green and yellow medaillons, the green ones get in the mystic forge then i have a number of them - to my knowledge you are allowed to use a autoclicker for that - and the yellow ones can be transformed amalgamated gemstones with 3x25 + ectos, instead of selling instantly. I also salvage most exotics, after checking if some are expensive (close to 1g ot more.), otherwise some more ectos :) might not be minmaxing though
Great point on medallions. There are so many ways you can min-max what you do with items/materials. I even just got the infinite upgrade extractor on my main account to process unidentified gear even more efficiently. You always have to make the call about how much your time is worth in terms of processing items though.
A cool trick I have is to keep the unidentified gear on a shared inventory slot. I wait till it reaches 250 before opening them, while dealing with the random normal gear I get. Cheers for the video!
Selling an exotic for less than the cost of an Ecto (after the TP takes its cut) seems like a bad idea since salvaging an exotic almost always gives at least one ecto plus other items. Also, deleting the map "currencies" (ley line sparks, etc) from HoT was shocking to me. I guess you're not a completionist?
Good point about selling exotics compared to salvaging. I've got all 3 sets of raid legendary armor and a handful of HoT legendaries (with a full material storage of them), so no idea what I'd actually use them on in the near future haha.
I'm new to the game. There are so many items in game that I'm afraid to accidentally salvage something that's useful. Any tips on that issue? Do you just salvage every thing "rare" and below?
Welcome! True there are loads of items to consider. At least for gear, you can basically salvage or sell anything you get. Once you get a build at level 80 geared up in exotics, nothing that drops for you regularly will outclass it. For collection items, if you see the text 'this item only has value as part of a collection' you can safely delete it. When in doubt, you can always type /wiki "the item" in the game chat and it will open the wiki page and tell you what it's used for. You can also Shift+Click the item in game to automatically paste it in the chat window.
While this video was long, I feel it's more of how you manage inventory on a fully maxed out account, vs useful inventory tricks for a new or returning player.
That's a fair point. A lot of these things I still apply to my newer EU account as well. I'll need to recreate this video on my partner's account as well haha.
This is helpfull to an extent, unfortunately nothing seems to address the amount of time sorting and processing all the junk takes up which is one of my major bugbears in the game. I keep starting but get fed up and go play something else instead. Do i loose much be just selling everythg without all the processing?
Thanks for this video! Still learned few things. Also I'd like to suggest you buying more deposit storage. Currently max is 2500 and I see your cap is 1500. I believe it is very cool and useful thing to have :)
It depends on the collection. For example, for the Bifrost collection that was shown, some of those items need to be converted into others at a special place. Other than that, if the item has a sell price, it can be safely sold to merchants. Usually, if an item without a sell price is about to be deleted, two prompts might appear: if it ask you to type the name of the item in order to delete it, it means that you need to keep it for later, otherwise deleting it won't be a problem.
8:20 - Consume all Luck -> A friend of mine told me to store the Luck for later. Since then I never consumed the luck and stored it in my bank instead. Is this smart? It currently takes a lot of space ^^
It can be nice to hold onto luck especially if you're crafting Gen 3 legendary weapons which need quite a bit of it. To save on space you can combine them with an Artificer into exotic luck items which take up less space. If I know I'm going for a Gen 3 legendary sometime soon I'll hold onto my luck for a while.
@@connorconcarne i dont even have 80 aha. well ill try it.. i wouldnt mind but its kinda stressful as a new player because they just throw random stuff at you and youre sat wondering if its useless or not. Im aware of the deposite thing, im in a (dead) guild so put stuff in a bank but my inventory and now bank is full off chests n stuff, i literally struggle to claim rewards lol another thing with the chests everyone ive spoke to tell me not to open them until im a high level so i feel like im stuck with em xD
@@connorconcarne i rant but in all fairness its not all that bad. just more of an annoyance. trying to learn my skills, class as well as the different weapons along with events and struggling with inventory space make it a bit too much xD

That's a great idea. If I had more shared inventory slots I'd do that regularly as well.
@@connorconcarne close inventory, when the unidentified gear reaches single digit numbers, so all new bag automatically go into that slot again ;)
@@connorconcarneGet an invisible bag and put the unid gear in it. It won't auto salvage
Can’t you salvage them as unidentified? Why open them in the first place?
@@tacticallemon7518 You'll oftentimes get rarer gear if you open them (I mostly do it with Uncommon and Rare unidentified gear, to get more ectos)
Clean bags, quality content, love to see it.
Thanks so much mate :)
Hey, thanks for the video. What did you install to get that highlight around your mouse?
You're very welcome. I just set the cursor contrast to low within the in-game settings.
@@connorconcarne Alright thanks for the reply 🙏
1:02 You have to intentionally let the inventory fill up to reach this level of loot, to be fair.
Very true, it took a while to get this as full as it was.
why is this sooo satisfying 😙 its like ASMR
haha thanks, so glad you enjoyed it.
so helpful. Thanks for the clear demonstration and discussion. I will apply the insights. It will make my play experience much improvec.

You're very welcome! Extra material storage is definitely on my list to buy in the near future. After the endless upgrade extractor.
So for collection, I can't destroy em?

Let's get this onto the Tray...ding Post. Nice!
Haha this is the highest form of compliment.
This is actually unhinged. >_
Haha thanks, it was so stressful to have my inventory like this while recording.
A lot of streamers should watch your video lol
(only half kidding, I sometimes get triggered by the mess that's some people inventories)
Haha, I also get slightly triggered when I see some of the inventories out there.
me being a new player leaving the video when he has 400+ slots because I dont have the patience for a video aimed at experienced players.
Sorry to hear that. For what it's worth I do the exact same thing on my characters with 80 bag slots. The process is exactly the same for both.
