Don’t Be a Hoarder in God of War: Sell Your Junk and Get Rich (Well, Richer in Hacksilver)
Adventuring through the Nine Realms in God of War isn’t minimalist. You pick up everything not nailed down. Ancient artifacts, crafting materials – all of it. But carrying this baggage serves no purpose. Turn it into cold Hacksilver instead.
Even Kratos strategically sells things. Think of it as decluttering your inventory. Instead of Marie Kondo-ing your life, you are focusing on combat upgrades. Those upgrades are crucial for survival and progression in the game.
What to Offload for Maximum Hacksilver Gains
What should you toss into Brok and Sindri’s magical blue chests? Here are prime candidates for selling:
Armor: Out with the Old, In with the Upgraded
That starter armor looked cool at first. Now it’s as effective as tissue paper against frost giants. Don’t get nostalgic. Sell those old threads taking up space.
As you progress, you find better armor sets. The goal is progression, optimizing your gear. Once you have new dragon-scale mail, don’t keep the old stuff gathering dust. Imagine the Hacksilver you’ll make, reinvest it into more powerful gear.
Collectibles: ire, Then Adios!
The game is filled with collectibles: artifacts and trinkets. Collecting them is fun, but once ired, they serve little purpose. They only judge you for hoarding.
The game encourages selling these items. After picking them up, they do nothing but fatten your Hacksilver wallet. Every time you find a Dwarven shop, head straight to sell those artifacts. It’s like contributing to the Norse economy.
Shattered Runes: Convert Runes to Riches
God of War Ragnarok introduces Shattered Runes. They sound important, hinting at magic or secrets. But no. They exist solely to be sold for Hacksilver.
Fifty Shattered Runes get you 5,000 Hacksilver. That’s a significant sum early in the game when resources are scarce for upgrades.
You can sell them at any Dwarven shop or Sindri’s House. Navigate to the “sell” menu, find Shattered Runes, and watch your Hacksilver count grow. , you can only sell in batches of 50.
Spoils of War: Early Game Economic Boost
In your early adventures, you’ll find “Spoils of War” artifacts. There are six total, and while they sound valuable, they belong at the merchant’s counter.
Selling all six Spoils of War nets 22,200 Hacksilver. That’s not pocket money; it’s essential for boosting your early game progression. That amount can cover most early upgrades, giving you an edge.
Hacksilver: The Lifeblood of your God of War Journey
Hacksilver is the primary currency in God of War. It fuels your adventure. Need to upgrade the Leviathan Axe? Hacksilver. Want new gear? Hacksilver.
Without Hacksilver, you’re wielding nothing against trolls. It’s vital for purchasing gear and upgrading weapons to fight tougher threats. Maximizing Hacksilver income is crucial, so sell unwanted items to earn more.
Resources: Use Wisely, Sell… Sparingly
Selling collectibles and old gear is easy but selling resources is trickier. Early-game resources are vital for upgrades. They are central to your combat power.
However, as you progress into mid and late game, you’ll gather more resources as an explorer. If you have excess resources not in use anymore, selling some can be a good idea if you’re low on Hacksilver for upgrades.
But proceed with caution and assess your needs before selling crafting components. Balance resource management with economic strategy.
In summary, don’t be a digital packrat in God of War. Embrace savvy selling. Transform clutter into currency and watch Kratos thrive as a financially savvy warrior. Conquer the Nine Realms in style with maxed-out gear.
