You throw away unidentifiable bones.

[Oceloth]

It's my falt? Yes. But please, make unique, or important itens go to key itens, or make them unique. using the same skin as a fucking shipped bone is low. Now I requested a item restoration, that can be only used once...

[Vespar]

What they could do is for important relic items like this, have a blue or green background on the icon. That way its easily distinguishable from a bone chip or a wyvern obsidian or whatnot.

[Miste]

I did the same thing :/ so you're not alone.

The unidentifiable bone looks like a trash item called Bone Chip which if I find one I toss it usually...

I won't make the same mistake again but yeah I don't know why they didn't have a more valuable looking icon or a unique one.

Better yet, the devs could have thrown these items into the quest/key items pouch. I'm not sure why they need to be in standard inventory space.

This is probably so that the materials can be kept if you drop the quest or any spare are kept when the quest is finished. That's my guess.

Also you can sell them for gil. About 1200 gil from memory.

Am I the only one who move them to the retainer shortly after obtaining them?

Nope, I put them on my retainer as soon as I get them just to avoid this kind of mishap.

Because if they went into the key items tab, then they wouldn't take up valuable inventory space (8 slots just for this quest), then you wouldn't have a need to buy retainer(s).

And you will not be able to buy them from vendor NPCs before activating the quest and wasting Law tomes and Poetry tomes on something else instead of buying those items in advance.

If I have to choose between them to be key items or buying them outside of the quest to prepare for the next anima the moment the first one passed that step and don't have to waste tomes on something else, I choose the last one.

just give those icons another background color

Considering that you can also sell the items, it wouldn't be a key item and key items are usually obtained through quests rather than random drops. Making it "unique" means you could only have just one and not the 20 you need.
