Early Grand Company Quest Rewards - Useless?

[Adol]

I think these items will be used in later quests. Many quest items in FFXI were untradable so I can only think that, with these consumables being needed for future quests, would be the case.

On the other hand there are probably many people who have used or thrown them away by now, so they would have a problem if those items were needed at a later date.

I just can't think why they would be given Unique/ Untradable status when they would essentially be useful for nothing.

This reminds me. Has anyone tried drinking these potions and have seen how much HP/MP they replenish? I still have no idea if they even have any significant practical use.

Hi Adol,

That's what I was thinking as well. Why make them Unique / Untradeable (even though the Quest is non-repeatable) if they weren't going to use them?

But then as I noted in the original post, the 2 New Quests SE mentions are different from the 3 Quests that these items originate from. Maybe the 2 new Quests require one of those items?

Regardless, I think as Brannigan says, they'd probably have to allow people to repeat the Quest to regain the Item if they really were a Key Item for a future Quest for Grand Companies. There'd be an uproar if you only had 1 chance at it and most people already NPC'd them or drank them.

Part of me just wants to NPC them to get 3 Inventory Slots back now, but I also worry it might be used for something later.
