Where can I find "free" weapons/armour?

By free I mean such stuff that can be freely picked up without stealing it.
I found stealing large amouns of gear in Stormhold, laundering it and deconstructing it in the same place to be a very convenient way to get decent amout of materials quickly and without having to run around like an idiot (and finding most nodes harvested).
It works fairly ok even though it's just white items - when you do it in bulk (I have 4 chars with rank 4 Trafficker).

There's only so much you can launder, so I am trying to find a way to get the stealing part out of the process.
So, I am looking for a place where there is some amount of gear freely laying around, or somewhere where I can find at least two weapon racks in close proximity.
Can anyone recommend such place? Could be a delve, whatever.

    I'm pretty sure all weapons and armor you can pick up from the world are Voidstone Ore quality, thus not CP 160. They'd be essentially worthless at highest level. You can't pick up Rubedite Ore weapons from the world to my knowledge.

    Free items will only sell for 0 gold. They also provide no materials when you deconstruct them.

    That being said, Coldharbour is a good place in general. Everything inside the city is just free to take. I do not know how many weapons and armor are there, but nothing there is considered owned.

    I thought 0-value goods from containers and displays didn't drop any materials when deconstructed?

    Just do treasure chest runs with all the CP perks for adventuring enabled and you'll be swimming in green/blue/purple gear that can be sold for gold or deconstructed for mats.

    Or you can farm an easy public dungeon in any zone, looting all the trash mobs. My inventory fills quite fast with trash Rubedite gear in that way.

    Gathering is still superior though, because you're capable of gathering more ore in a single node than you are with deconstructs.

    I would recommend farming an public dungeon, no its not laying around, you have to kill enemies but you get plenty of it, another source is dolmen zergs, this tend to fill up your inventory fast.
    You get plenty of xp from both as an bonus, benefit of stealing is all the gold.
    Coldharbor is good for base materials.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Where did I say I wanted to sell them?
    Also, not true. As long as they are not stolen, they do give you materials.

    They're talking about the zero value weapons you'll pull from urns, crates, weapon racks, and anywhere else really, outside of civilization. Those have a very low chance to award materials when broken down.

    Oh. I'll have to try again and pay attention.


    Also I don't understand some of the replies here. I am only lvl 32. Just FIY.

    Yeah, so... Once you hit level 50, you start earning Champion Points, and increasing your Champion Rank. The gear cap is CR160, but those zero value trash items cap at 140.
