== Selling Lunar Shards and valuable finds ==

Selling shards can turn random rewards into a known BC budget for progression. Opening them can supply items you need, but the result is uncertain. Choose using your current goals, usable listing range, and net market proceeds; there is no universal Tier at which everyone should switch from selling to opening.

Avoid base-selling unfamiliar rares. Likewise, avoid a blanket rule that raw materials are always cheaper than crafted items. Compare both routes at the time you buy.
