THE BAZAAR
Common questions
The crossed-swords question usually concerns a monster encounter. Loot choices concern a different decision: whether the item or transformation supports your current board. These answers separate those mechanics and link the detailed price and mobile guides.
Crossed swords
A community discussion uses the crossed-swords icon when referring to a monster fight. The wiki’s Monsters page describes PvE encounters and their rewards, but it does not directly label that icon. The icon interpretation therefore has one indirect community source, rather than two independent confirmations.
The older monster rules describe the third encounter of a day as a choice of three monsters: Bronze, Silver and Gold or better, with gold, XP and an item or skill as rewards. Keep this older mechanism separate from a current official tooltip, which is not supplied by these sources.

When to skip the loot item
Salvage Yard, a Diamond event from day 4 onward, offers Extract Loot: stash items become loot items based on their tags. That is a transformation, not free power. If the tag mapping is unknown to you, taking the transform can delete a piece your build needed. BazaarDB describes the option; it does not publish a full tag-to-loot table I was willing to copy. So the practical rule I will write is: skip Extract Loot when you cannot name the tag you are spending.
Day-start choices are a different menu. The old wiki start-of-run page, version 2.5.0, lists a three-way pick of extra gold and income, an enchanted item, or a gold skill. I do not know if patch 20.1 still shows that exact trio, so I date it to the wiki's version and I do not call it current.
