Thread: Why are 1.0 items still part of the game and market board?

And then untradable items like vortex headdress, inferno taper, unmarked keystone.

I know some items were re-implemented into the game during the 2.0 days. But we're in 4.0 now and these items are still around.

If they will never have any use, why not just remove them?

Probably in case they ever decide to re-implement them. I understand the Vanilla Beans ingredient in Heavensward was one such 1.x material. One odd case was the Stiperstone, which isn't actually used anymore but was on some magma fish's desynthesis list.

It's used now in SB

I still keep some seasonal items. Are they useless and take space? Yes. Are they unique, no longer obtainable and serve as memento? Absolutelly.

Was literally about to post this, surely these items that no longer even have a use, use more memory and stuff than anything really.

They do keep dragging a few here and there back into the light of day. I had two stacks of pine lumber for example, which became a thing again in 4.0. Things like the tiered beastman currency could easily be recycled for buying items for a new X weapon step, and so forth. The more 1.0 items can be brought back or repuposed, the fewer new things they have to cook up every other patch, so may as well let them lie fallow.
