Finding and Selling Loot in Dead Sails

As you travel, you'll explore buildings and find tons of items. Your goal is to grab the stuff that sells for the most cash.

  • Where to Sell: You sell items at the Trading Post buildings, which you can reliably find inside the Forts that appear every 10km. Sometimes, a smaller version of the Trading Post might spawn along the tracks too.
  • How to Sell: Just drop the item you want to sell onto one of the pads on the tables inside the Trading Post. It'll disappear and be replaced by a money bag (or bags) representing its value. Hold 'E' to grab the cash.
  • Using Your Sack: Remember your Sack (press '1' to equip)? It holds 10 items. Since space is limited, you want to fill it with the most valuable stuff you find. Don't waste slots on items only worth a few bucks if you can grab something worth much more! Weld valuable items you can't fit in the sack onto your train for safekeeping.

How to make money quickly in Dead Sails

This trick entirely depends on your starting class, as this can be only done as the Medic. Healing items can be sold for a pretty penny in Dead Sails, and as the Medic you can sometimes randomly spawn/drop healing items. Meaning, that if you stand still for a while, and time is not of the essence, you can spawn healing items, pop them into your sack, and then sell them. Rinse and repeat for a while and you'll build up a nice stash of currency before embarking on your journey.
