It was worse before update for now the only thing worth anything are the Materia VI ( mainly for gear melding anemos 5 slot ) , Mount, RDM Barding, 10K gill purse and minions ( to an extend ), Cracked Crystals, . Other than that yes they are junk, well Eureka potions are useful. -.-. I had 15k in lock boxes compare to 500 I just sold extras with NPC.

Now if it is BS you can always try hunting books, Spirit bound conversions, for Materia VI....yeah I will stick with BS than do that again.
