Companion stuff deconned

shadyjane62

Why can't companion stuff be deconned? I am getting a lot of it in box and I hate companions. Will never have one, ever. Why am I stuck with this stuff?

Perhaps they aren't so useless as you might think. Check their price before selling to a merchant/destroying it.

PS - Last companion gear piece I got, and thought it was useless, worths 250k (avg) on traders... lol

Companion gear is all levels so no telling what it is made of to give raw wood/metal/leather/cloth. Traits are companion only with no corresponding trait material to get or do anything with. That leaves green, blue, purple tempers which are common anyway. Given that, I think @redlink1979 has the right idea.

I had a blue +damage lightning staff drop and it's TTC suggested range was 250K.

Either a lot of Ember fans or lightning staves don't drop often I guess

Yes, try selling them. Especialy purples and maybe even good traits on blue gear.

We cannot craft any comp gear so it would not make sense that we can decon it. I do not think they are level driven so the materials would be irrelevant to anything else.

as far as i can tell they cannot be deconstructed because there would be no mats they would give us back, there is no "crafting" place to make or upgrade the gear, im assuming the same system would be used to decon if that was ever added

right now there are 3 options:

1. destroy it
2. vendor to NPC
3. sell on guildstore

option 3 is going to be extremely variable, if its the right trait, and purple (say a ring with +dmg trait) that could be worth 2-3 mil on PC/NA, but a green heavy chest piece with +healing might be worth 50 gold on the guild store (or will just never sell)

I usually throw my greens and even some blues like light armor and restos into guild banks I don't think any one places value or I'm too lazy to figure out market prices on console.

We should be able to transmute them. Price discrepancies between desirable traits and perceived undesirable traits are absolutely ridiculous.

I was selling them to NPC vendors but as soon as I heard we were getting new companions with High Isle I started throwing the old gear into a storage chest in my house.

Hand-me-downs.
