Just sell anything when you get an equal or better version of it, or anything that you find that isn't useful.
Mostly it comes from stealing from every monster you see, but there are some abilities that use Power Spheres, Speed Spheres etc. However, in this game, you focus more on building up stats and abilities than creating killer weapons. (Which, incidentally, you'll find soon enoughwhere can i find stuff to fill in my empty nods)
