Elden Ring is a vast open world game that rewards players for their adventurous spirit by giving them different materials or upgrades. However, if you don’t handle it properly, it is easy to cause underutilization of resources and insufficient storage space.

However, you can also get the most out of excess crafting materials and some unusable weapons by selling them, which will earn you a certain number of Elden Ring Runes. In the game, you can prioritize trading some duplicate equipment or unused memories to merchants.

In Shadow of the Erdtree, which was released last month, there are also many items added to the game, including some armor sets, weapons and amulets. These items are scattered all over Realm of Shadow, waiting for players to explore.

These items can also be traded with merchants. This guide will introduce some items you can trade with merchants in Shadow Of the Erdtree and the base game to make the most of them.

Crafting Materials In DLC

The crafting system in Elden Ring allows players to use a variety of crafting materials to create items that players need or that help them explore. These crafting materials can be found everywhere in Realm of Shadow, and can be picked up on the ground or obtained by killing enemies.

With the addition of some Bell-Bearings, you can sell some crafting materials that you don’t need at the moment. You can get them back through those methods when you need them.

For example, after defeating Furnace Golems or exploring the area where the dead Furnace Golems are located, you will find crafting materials similar to Furnace Visage. These materials can be used to make Hefty Furnace Pot, but if you don’t need the crafted items, you can trade these crafting materials with merchants in exchange for some Elden Ring Runes.

Redundant Armor Sets And Weapons In DLC

In addition to the weapons and armor sets you can get from chests for Remembrances, you can also get them by defeating enemies in the DLC. Some enemies in Realm of Shadow, such as Fire Knights and Messmer Soldiers, have a chance to drop their armor pieces and the weapons they carry when you defeat them.

When defeating an excessive number of such enemies, whether your goal is to obtain these equipments or to make your way forward smoother, you will get a lot of duplicate armor and weapons. However, these are very space-consuming in your inventory, so the best way to deal with them is to sell them to merchants.

Otherwise, it is also a good idea to just discard them, but it is a bit of a waste compared to the small amount of Elden Ring Runes you can get from selling them.

Rowa Raisin In Base Game

In Elden Ring, Rowa Raisin is not a consumable item for you, but a consumable item for your most trusted mount, Torrent. It is a very good healing item for Torrent, which can restore a lot of Torrent’s health. However, in actual combat, in most cases, players will not be hit by enemies while on Torrent, so Rowa Raisin is not very useful.

The raw material for making Rowa Raisin is Rowa Fruit, which can be found in various places in Lands Between, so there is no need to worry about the amount you can get. Although the price given by merchants for Rowa Raisin is not high, it can still contribute greatly to your upgrade path.

Duplicate Gear In Base Game

Like the redundant weapons and armor sets mentioned above, duplicates are useless, but can be used to earn some Elden Ring Runes. For some dual-wielded weapons, such as Katanas and Whips, which require you to equip a duplicate weapon of the same type on the other hand, this is not a big deal.

However, it should be noted that some paired weapons, such as Claws and Starscourge Greatsword, will automatically equip a duplicate weapon when you press the ability button. Here, the duplicate weapon is useless and can be safely handed over to merchants, which will not weaken your ability.

Similarly, except for the mission-specific armor sets, most unnecessary duplicate armor can also be sold to merchants.

Remembrances In Base Game

Every time you defeat a boss or enemy, you will receive some Remembrances, which are special souls. You can take these Remembrances and trade them with Finger Reader Enia for abilities that match the boss, either weapon abilities or magic abilities.

In addition, you can trade them with merchants for about 20,000 to 50,000 Elden Ring Runes each. Another way to get a lot of Remembrances is to copy previously acquired Remembrances of Wandering Mausoleums. This way, whether you use them to gain abilities or runes, you will get the most out of them.

Excess Ashes Of War In Base Game

There are 91 Ashes of War abilities in the base game, which is amazing! Each piece of equipment, whether it is a weapon or a shield, has its own slot for Ashes of War, and special equipment also has unique slots. This means that at any point in the game, you will have more Ash of War abilities than you need.

In the game, you need to learn to switch your Ash of War abilities constantly according to different scenarios and situations. After you use some Ash of War abilities, you can keep some of them frequently and sell the unused or useless Ash of War abilities directly to merchants.

Now that you know how to reuse these items, check your warehouse to see if you have any. Don't let these heavy items hinder your exploration!
