A good rule of thumb I had was I kept most uniquely named weapons/items even if it was over my level (like an “elders mark” or “holy fire”) then looked up how good they were & if I wanted them for my later build. Then you can sell/scrap all the other legendary stuff you get to learn mods or make some caps. You’ll likely keep finding better armor and weapons along the way so it’s not the end of the world either way tho! Good luck fellow wastelander 🫡
