Learning goals
- Decide whether to keep a Riven.
- Decide whether to use a Riven.
- Decide whether to reroll.
- Decide whether to sell.
- Decide whether to transmute.
- Decide when to ignore a Riven for now.
Explanation
After reading a Riven, choose a next action. Keep if you are not sure or the weapon is interesting. Use if you own the weapon, enjoy it, and the Riven improves the build. Reroll if the weapon is worth Kuva and the current stats are not good enough. Sell if another player may want it and you prefer Platinum or inventory space. Transmute if it is unwanted and you accept losing it. Ignore if you do not understand it yet.
What should I do?
Use this order: do I own or want the weapon, do I understand it, are the stats useful, is the negative acceptable, is the Riven better than a normal mod, is the weapon worth Kuva, is the Riven likely tradeable, would transmutation be better than keeping, and am I making this calmly?
Common mistakes
Avoid these Riven mistakes before spending Kuva, Platinum, or valuable inventory space.
- Leaving every Riven as maybe someday.
- Rerolling before deciding whether the weapon matters.
- Selling without checking the exact weapon and stats.
- Transmuting before reading the Riven.
- Forcing a Riven into a build where a normal mod is better.
Key Takeaways
- Every Riven needs a next action. Maybe someday is fine only if you label it intentionally.
Practical task
Every Riven needs a clear next action or an intentional pause.
- Pick one Riven.
- Answer whether you own the weapon.
- Answer whether you like the weapon.
- Check whether the stats are useful.
- Check whether the negative is acceptable.
- Decide whether it is worth Kuva or price-checking.
- Label it Keep, Use, Reroll, Sell, Transmute, or Ignore.
- Write one sentence explaining why.
You have a clear next action without guessing.
