Blue Protocol Star Resonance What to Do With Old Gear
Once you start farming dungeons and completing quests, your inventory fills fast with gear that’s no longer useful. So what should you actually do with it? The short answer is simple: dismantle it. Here’s how it works and why it’s worth doing.
How To Dismantle Old Gear
To dismantle gear, head to the Artisan District in town. Look for the Gear Enhance Artisan near the Gemcrafting Station inside the main workshop building. Speak to him to open the dismantling menu.
Select the pieces you no longer need, confirm dismantle, and they’ll be broken down into shards. These shards are based on your class and the rarity of the item you dismantle.
If you’re having trouble finding the right NPC, check your minimap for the forge icons. The dismantling NPC stands right beside Harvey, who handles gear forging and shard exchanges.
What You Get From Dismantling
Every dismantled item gives you shards, which act as a special upgrade currency. These shards are unique to your class and can be traded for stronger gear or crafting materials.
Higher rarity gear gives better shards, so don’t waste rare dismantles early on. It’s smarter to hold onto valuable pieces until you’re ready to upgrade.
How To Use Shards
Take your shards to Harvey, the Gear Forge Artisan, also located in the Artisan District. You can trade shards for new equipment directly through him.
At first, you’ll be able to exchange shards for level 40 gear. Later, higher-level trades like level 60 or 80 gear unlock as you progress. Each gear exchange is limited to one trade per week, so plan your spending carefully.
When To Dismantle Gear
There are a few good times to dismantle old equipment:
Your inventory is full or near the limit
You’ve replaced old weapons or armor with better ones
You need shards for forging new gear
You’re preparing for higher-tier trades with Harvey
It’s completely safe to dismantle items once you’re done with them. You’ll get something useful back every time.
Final Blurb
Old gear in Blue Protocol: Star Resonance isn’t junk, it’s material waiting to be recycled. Dismantle extra weapons and armor at the Gear Enhance Artisan, collect shards, and trade them with Harvey for better gear. It keeps your inventory clean and gives your grind a purpose beyond clutter.
