Lost Ark: Should You Dismantle or Sell Items? Answered

Developed by Smilegate RPG and published by Amazon Game Studios in the west, Lost Ark is a new MMOARPG that’s been tearing up the Steam charts since its English release this year. The game is full of little mechanics that aren’t always well-explained, so we’re here to help you out. If you’re wondering whether you should dismantle or sell items in Lost Ark, here’s what you need to know.

Should You Dismantle or Sell Items in Lost Ark?

The answer is simple. You should always dismantle your old gear in Lost Ark. This applies to all players, whether you’re just starting out in the game, or if you’re already grinding through endgame content.

By dismantling your gear at low levels, you’ll get items like Useful Equipment Piece or Broken Equipment Powder, which can just be sold to vendors for silver anyway. Dismantling your gear allows you to free up space in your inventory immediately, which is important because it’ll get filled up very quickly as you play through the game.

And as you reach higher levels and start doing endgame activities, your more powerful gear can be dismantled to receive upgrade materials which can be put towards improving other gear pieces that you want to keep and use. With that in mind, it’s almost always more beneficial to dismantle your items instead of selling them.

How to Dismantle Items

Now that we’ve established the benefits of dismantling your gear in Lost Ark, here’s how to actually do it.

From your inventory screen, click on the little hammer icon in the bottom corner of the menu.

From here, drag the items in your inventory to the Dismantle screen, then confirm your selection. And that’s it, you’re all set.

That’s all you need to know about whether you should dismantle or sell items in Lost Ark. Be sure to search for Twinfinite for more tips and information on the game.
