Reserve the materials

Check the recipe and crafting station requirement for the exact tier. Our advice: leave quest materials in your stash until you have checked the journal. A component needed for an upgrade may also be needed for progression. Sale value is what an item can sell for, not the amount required to buy or craft it.
