    Components worth keeping?

    I'm starting to realize that the main source of currency income (Gil) in this game comes from selling off Components

    Are there any specific components that i should hold onto and not sell?
    Are they used for anything?

    The Credit Chip or whatever is only worth 1 EXP and can be sold for a decent amount.

    That's the only one I know of, there are probably more.

    I found some sort of gem that sells for like.. 1k or something another I think. Not clear on the name, but I guess any of those gemstones are sellable?

    There are upgrade items (that you use to move to a higher tier of weapon), with different icons. Be careful what you sell.

    Don't sell anything but the chips... you'll recognize which they are anyways, but basically they all give 1xp so they're worthless for anything else. There are different kinds of chips, each worth different amounts of money. I haven't had too much money trouble honestly, and those are all I've been selling all the way up to chapter 9. (There's nothing else you want to buy anyways besides more components to upgrade weapons... just use the money you get from selling chips to get some organic items to raise your xp bonus, and then buy the most expensive ones to upgrade your weapon after you raise its bonus.)

    Hang onto weapon upgrade reagents, in the .jp versions they were all special types of ores or stones with names like Uraninite. If you have one that would sell for 2k~6k don't dump it unless it's on the list I mentioned; there's a strong chance you need it to upgrade to Tier 2 weaponry.
