yeah, but I also had some different gear with +str and -10% requirements I saved, for when/if I found something I couldn't use...
and then theres the relics and charms... I have a compulsive urge to collect them all. If not for anything else, just to see the bonus when you collect all 3 or 5
I've rarely used any money in the game, so it's not because I just collect anything to sell.
