ARC Raiders what to keep: reserve materials for your next upgrade and active quests before selling or recycling the surplus. A universal sell list cannot know which station or project you are working on.
Hizzle's three-pile rule
| Pile | Put here | Next decision |
|---|---|---|
| Needed next | Tracked station, project and quest parts | Keep the amount your current panel requires. |
| Useful to repeat | Supplies for your affordable kit | Reserve enough for the runs you actually plan. |
| Surplus to review | Items beyond those needs | Compare sell value, recycling output and remaining uses. |
Do this sorting in Speranza. Deciding whether every object is secretly important while standing in an exposed corridor is a poor use of raid time.
Three names to keep separate
The Frigate Inductor has a Research Station upgrade use. The Emperor Modulator is associated with Gunsmith progression. ARC Data Modules appear in Research Station requirements; an item being convertible into points does not erase its material use.
Do not confuse a Frigate Diagnostic Node with an Inductor. Check the full item name before converting or trading anything. We have not established an independently verified, exhaustive current safe-to-recycle table.
UNSURE: future projects, account-specific needs and every conversion payout are not reconciled here. Treat this as a decision method, not permission to empty a material category.
