Letter written in bold and other quest itens

Is this item worth holding? Will it have any use besides the quest I received it when completed? Is there a site where I can know for sure if I can get rid of some quest itens that still in my bag like fairy compass?

Good question. I have stuck all the quest items that seem to have no use in my last bank tab that I only get more time for when I have some other seemingly useless item. I also would like to know from a CM or GM if we can get rid of these items or not. Peanut gallery stay away.

Bag and storage space is an ongoing issue for most players. Between Pots, Food, Gear, Daily Quest Items, Quest Items, etc. you run out of space quite quickly. One suggestion is to be pretty ruthless in what you allow into/keep in your BackPack/Chests/Bank/Housemaids, etc. For "Quest Items" that means if you can't identify what current or near current Quest it applies to ==> it has not "earned" a slot in your inventory.

How do you ID what is current/near current?
Check your Quest Log and see what each Quest requires. Ask folks @ or near your Questing Level in Game. Check the Runes of Magic database << http://www.runesdatabase.com/ >> based on the Item or the Quest (Often it will give you other useful details).

Keep in mind that 100% accurate, Official, detailed documentation for the multiple thousands of items in the Game is ~ non-existant. The BEST you can hope for is reasonably accurate sources developed from the input/experiences of other Players.

Regarding your specific Questions:
(1) Probably not...
- - Sometimes you "keep" or get Quest items after you have completed the Quest they apply to.
- - "Right-click to use this item." will tell you more... If it says "You have completed this Quest.", you can definitely trash it. Otherwise it should give you clues about it's usefulness.
- - If you find you have gotten rid of something you are no longer finding for a particular Quest, drop and re-accept the Quest. That "resets" the drops so you can get the items again.
(2) Probably not...
- - Majority of Quest Items are "single use" for a particular Quest. (There are some exceptions.)
(3) Probably yes...
- - The official Runes of Magic database << http://www.runesdatabase.com/ >> is one I use a lot.
- - Has sections on Quests, Items, Gear, Runes, Classes, Skills, etc. etc, etc.
- - Search feature works quite well: You can often track an item through the Quest it is used in, the NPC it drops from, and even the location on the Map where it drops...

For MegaMouseSEC:
Segregating your items DOES make them easier to deal with. You still need to "process" them at some point or you'll find your bag is full of those pieces of lint.
Good Luck finding a CM or GM in Game!

Well wasn't wanting a CM or GM ingame but here to shed some light on this matter. But thanks and now I will go through my bank and get rid of unneeded crap.

Oops for got this. Mac some quests if you drop them you will ahve to go through support to be able to get it back. I went through just that and knwoa few others that have also. It is due to the quest starting with an item and not an NPC and unless fixed is a known problem.

The problem is like this:
-Letter written in bold aquired in Desert Post Investigation (long passed through there)
-Fairy compass seems I have finished all related quests, only 2 left related with water king.
-There's also, explosive given from an NPC in ape area (savage lands), cleared that area and the item still remains in my inventory.

Adding to all these I noticed some other thing. My friend start Coast of Oportunity long before me and he's picking some quests I haven't. So I have my 3rd class to level after I finish my first and second, will these itens be worth for something for the third when I return there? I use runesdatabase and I find it very incomplete regarding needed info, like mobs HP, boss skills, etc. I also use Advanced Quest Book addon, that seems to be a WIP, since have nothing avaiable to Xaviera. So here keeps the question, is worth keep those itens?

The explosives only help with the quest - they do some good damage to the Ape King, but I don't think you need them to kill him, iirc.

There is also a new version of Advanced Questbook in the DE forums, still such a handy addon.

I wouldn't worry too much about leveling in CoO/Xav - as it is really easy to do without normal quests - just do dailies 10 levels above your third class and you can get through it really quickly. Only problem really is around lv40 and above and access to a Housemaid.

Please don't make a habit of this, it is quite annoying. Basically telling everyone in the forums to shut up, even if they know the answer.

Allright, here's my today list of junk I really want to get rid of but I'm not sure if I won't regret. Since there's no official channel to know this for sure, I hope you guys can help me, since I entered Northern Janos Forest and now in Land Of Malevolence a lot of stuff is taking almos 1 page of back pack so I really need to be sure what I can get rid of or not. Here's the list
-Shaquapuh's Instructions
-Toni's Instructions
-Dull Knife
-Armed Guard Costume
-Tattered Journal
-Organized Test Report
-Sonny's Work Log
-Saar's Work Log
-Guy's Work Log
-Elven Encyclopedia
-Fairy Compass
-Liquid-Extraction Machine

If I had the time I would do a wiki about it, cause is really anoying to have these things and never know what to do with them.

You might want to have a look here.
There is an excel file to download at the bottom of the page, which contains most of the information you are looking for (maybe not all but I suppose a large part).

The website is full of extremely useful info - it has just been translated from German, the translation team has done a really great job.

Looks like the Peanuit gallery has reared its ugly head.
