Unsure what to do with your valuables inDragon Age: The Veilguard? You’ll start stockpiling loot pretty early in the RPG as you explore every nook and cranny and upend treasure chests into your backpack. But the game doesn’t make it clear what valuables are for. Sure, you can sell them to a merchant, but they also have a secondary purpose:gaining faction strength.

The first thing you can do with valuables is sell them for cold hard cash, though only with faction specific vendors. They’re marked on the map with a little shirt-shaped “Merchant” icon, as opposed to all of the regular traders that you can find while wandering around the game’s different regions.
When you talk to the merchant, you can simply select the sell valuables option on the right and then “sell all” to empty out your inventory of all the loot you’ve been picking up. Before you do, however, it’s worth talking a bit about faction strength and how this ties into valuables.
Valuables and faction rep
Selling the right valuable to a certain faction gets you lots of faction strength(Image credit: Bioware)
Selling regular valuables with a faction merchant gets you faction rep—that’s simple enough—but you’re probably wondering why there are random traders scattered around the map who only sell valuables. What’s the point in buying something you’re just going to sell anyway?
Valuables provide +3 (as standard), then +8, +15, and +75 faction reputation if you find something really rare and appropriate. Generally, make sure to look at valuable descriptions, especially those that are uncommon and rare, and then sell them to the relevant party. If you’re not sure, here’s some info for those I’ve found so far:

As you can see, factions are interested in stuff relevant to them. Grey Wardens like Dark Spawn, Shadow Dragons like Venatori, The Lords of Fortune like dragons, and the Antivan Crows like wine and fancy things. It’s worth noting thatsome valuables are worth the same strength with all factions, like The Divine’s Hat.
If you want to be really optimal, your best bet is saving up all of your uncommon and rare valuables, saving the game, then going through each faction working out what’ll give you the most rep. That, or just sell things however you want.
