The idea of solid objects turning into powder is oddly amusing. Think about a steel short sword that turns into a fluffy pile of powder. That’s funny to me, maybe only to me. We’ll give you money if you don’t! In Lost Ark, here’s how to use Broken Equipment Powder.
How do you deal with broken equipment powder in Lost Ark?
You can dismantle a weapon or armor in Lost Ark by pressing the dismantle button at the bottom of your inventory window when you’re fiddling with it. Dismantling equipment turns it into Broken Equipment Powder, as well as other bits and pieces, depending on its level. The Broken Equipment Powder can be used for crafting, but what do you do with it?
Money for Nothing
It’s only good for one thing: hocking. In exchange for silver, Broken Equipment Powder only works for selling to random merchants. Instead of taking up a slot for each item, this system lets you grind up a whole bunch of gear pieces no longer needed and store them in one stack. You can sell them faster, and it cuts down on clutter.
Interestingly, Broken Equipment Powder can sometimes be worth more silver than the equipment it came from, so if you have things you don’t need anymore, consider dismantling them first before you sell them.
Remember: dismantling equipment can help you if you’re running low on inventory space! Don’t waste time throwing stuff away. Grind it up and sell it later.
