In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, junk items return. This time, however, some junk items can be dismantled into useful crafting components. As junk items have weight, it is better to either sell or dismantle them when available.

Note that certain quest items, once they are no longer needed, will be put in the junk tab and can then be dismantled or sold off like regular items.

Innkeepers will offer the highest prices if you sell junk items to them over other types of merchants, usually around 5-15% more, although that is hard to quantify due to some hidden item flags and how the calculation formula works. The difference (not the full price) may be even over 100% for some items.

Dismantling[]

The price of dismantling items is approximately 20% of the price at which the armorer or blacksmith's would offer the item for, even though they don't buy or sell most junk items. This includes all factors for dynamic pricing, including area discounts that can be earned by completing quests, plus a small additional area modifier for dismantling on top. Craftsmen in Velen offer the cheapest dismantling, Skelligers are in the middle, and Novigrad ones are the most expensive in the base game. Craftsmen added by the game's expansions are additionally more expensive in progressive order.

  • For instance a ladle costs 1 Oren3 to dismantle by an armorer in Velen, and 2 Oren3 to dismantle in Novigrad, whilst both times yielding 1 timber. The difference is usually not that high and technically is only around 5-15%, but the prices are rounded up, so particularly for low-value items, it makes a huge difference when the formula results cross whole number boundaries.

The amount of crafting components received from an item depends on the skill level of the dismantler:

  • Amateurs can only extract 1 of each possible component per item
  • Journeymen will extract random amounts between 1 and maximum-1 of the possible per component (if max is lower than 3, the result is always 1)
  • Masters (and the grandmaster in Toussaint) will always extract the full possible amounts

Thus, the higher the number of components possible to be extracted, the bigger difference it makes. For example, dismantling a mug will always result in 1 timber, as the item itself only contains that much material, but a skull may yield up to 3 ashes from a journeyman, and always 4 from a master.

  • Since Yoana is the cheapest master level craftsman in the game, it is recommended for penny-pinching to do all your dismantling with her. Before she is unlocked, Fergus Graem is the cheapest and earliest reached journeyman, while armorers in general will also have slightly lower prices for anything but weapons, so consider this in the very early game or otherwise.
  • The list below indicates a range between the minimum and maximum amount of components received, as to cover craftsmen of all levels.
