Money for Nothing

There is exactly one thing you can do with Broken Equipment Powder: hock it. The only thing Broken Equipment Powder is good for is selling off to random merchants in exchange for silver. The point of this system is to let you grind up a whole bunch of gear pieces you don’t need anymore and store them in a single item stack in your inventory, rather than having each thing take up a slot. It cuts down on clutter, and you can sell them in fewer clicks.

Incidentally, Broken Equipment Powder can actually be worth more silver than the equipment they came from sometimes, so if there’s something you don’t need anymore, consider dismantling first it instead of just selling it wholesale.

If you’re out and about and are running low on inventory space, remember: dismantling equipment is your friend! Grind up the stuff you don’t need and sell it all later.
