Hey folks,

D4 inventory and stash space is fairly limited and I was curious as to what everyone is keeping. I have legendary items in my stash, along with a collection of gems that are appropriate to my level (67). What exactly makes an item worth keeping? I have a decent idea of where my build is going, but I was considering changing to an ice build (I am playing a sorcerer), but like the idea of meteors, too. With shared space and so many options… whats worth it?

    Do you have advanced tooltips turned on? I would keep any high rolls for generic aspects that can be used across characters. Don’t keep low or medium rolls because you can just use the codex and it isn’t worth the space. Don’t use the high rolls unless it’s on an ancestral piece with decent stats, because unless you have duplicates you’ll probably replace it too quickly to be worth using anything but the codex. Obviously some aren’t in the codex so if you get a decent roll of those and it’s generic then it may be worth keeping duplicates.

    As someone with multiple characters already it doesn’t seem worth it to keep class specific gear stored unless it’s for a build that you are specifically going to transition to, or it’s a perfect roll. Mainly store pieces for the build you’re planning for, whatever that is, and keep generic aspects in their own tab. I only store gems that drop at tier 4 (gem, flawless gem, royal gem) because you’ll need a lot of gems eventually but they’re not very important for the early game when leveling alts since tier 1 is so easy. You also shouldn’t be afraid to discard uniques. I’ve found them to be better to sell than salvage because they seem to just give the same legendary crafting materials but they sell for significantly more gold. There are a lot of bad unique that drop frequently and aren’t useful for many (any) builds. Don’t hoard them just because they’re shiny.

    At least this is my system, keep what is important to you based on the space you currently have. Although I’m tight on storage I’m making it work.

      Thanks for the response! I was hesitant to get rid of the unique items, but I feel better about selling them, so again, thank you. I’m not a huge fan of gearing in this iteration of diablo because I am frankly not sure what I need yet. The set pieces of D3 made gearing pretty easy. I will likely just vendor most of the mid rolls I have been storing - the low rolls have already been destroyed or sold for re-rolling stats. I have noticed that gems drop frequently. I was saving them because I thought I may need more so I can upgrade them as I level. I may as well stop picking them up at this point since I have so damn many of them

    I’m pretty much stashing gems and legendaries. The latter can be useful for extracting the aspect out. Almost everything is being sold or harvested.

    I’m trying so keep the best rolled aspects but did unfortunately extract them from the items at the beginning… Keep your items, it may have better stats than any rares you will get when needed. Despite that, stashing the aspects and uniques helped me to switch pretty painlessly from hammer to whirlwind. IMO all’s gems, elixiers and sigils should have a specific limitless stashtab…

      I agree, I don’t see the reasons for keeping them in limited space as being challenging/helpful/etc. Thank you for your response! Suppose I will look for the best rolled items and salvage the rest

    When I’m lazy I throw everything in there. I mostly try to save ancestral legendary because sacred and normal legendaries are just kinda useless at this point.

    EXCEPT when they have good rolls. Check the rolls on the items. If they are good rolls then save them, or extract the aspect. You might need it in a future build.

    I also try to save ancestral rares that seem interesting.

    At this point gems I couldn’t care less. I don’t every bother picking them up.

      Thanks for the tips! I haven’t gotten many of the ancestral items because I am having survival issues in WT4. Gems are strange with D4. Maybe they will implement a gem bag or something so they aren’t a huge space waster.

    I’ve been keeping uniques, as well as gems and some aspects. I might get rid of most of the aspects soon, as I figure I can use the codex ones until I get a better version to drop. Not sure how it’s going to work out once I have multiple classes, all with multiple builds.

    Have you bought any additional stash tabs? I’m looking for reasons to throw stuff into my stash just so I can actually use the space I have.

      I have bought all 3 addition slots aside from the one given. I have legendary items divided into weapons, rings/amulets, gems, and clothing. I have space, but the gear and jewelry tabs are filling fast. I was wondering more what makes an item worth keeping.
