Many players are clearing out their banks and bags in preparation for a new expansion&#8217;s worth of gear, crafting materials, and random Things\u2122 you find scattered around the place. I asked a few of my fellow writers here to share some of the weirdest, most useless items they&#8217;ve held onto &#8212; despite the items having been much more relevant years and years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The first response was from our bear friend, <a href=\"https:\/\/blizzardwatch.com\/author\/ctaylor\/\">Cory Taylor<\/a> &#8212; he proffered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=183876\/quill-of-correspondence\">The Quill of Correspondence<\/a> from the Shadowlands. Who says you can&#8217;t use a letter from a friend every now and then? He also admitted to having duplicate items to learn the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=37012\/the-horsemans-reins\">Headless Horseman&#8217;s Mount<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=69224\/smoldering-egg-of-millagazor\">Fire Hawk<\/a> mount tucked away there, so if they&#8217;ve haven&#8217;t dropped for you yet you know who got them instead.<\/p>\n<p>For something a little more random, <a href=\"https:\/\/blizzardwatch.com\/author\/pulrich\/\">Phil Ulrich<\/a> told us that he had eleven <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=56158\/blood-engorged-tick\">Blood Engorged Ticks<\/a> sent to him by a guild mate that he has hung on to. Somewhat creepy, but you do you. He also has a vial of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/object=246466\/tears-of-elune\">Tears of Elune<\/a> that Khadgar gave him but never reclaimed. That was just the tip of the iceberg, however:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blizzardwatch.com\/author\/jalbright\/\">Joan Albright<\/a> looked down the back of the couch and found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=215575\/nazgrims-shanker\">Nazgrim&#8217;s Shanker<\/a> sitting there, collecting dust.<\/li>\n<li>While I expected <a href=\"https:\/\/blizzardwatch.com\/author\/rflanagan\/\">Rob Flanagan<\/a> to have obscure cooking ingredients or maybe some form of digital google eyes, instead he found a spare <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=54811\/celestial-steed\">Celestial Steed<\/a> sitting around.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blizzardwatch.com\/author\/eodea\/\">Eric O&#8217;Dea<\/a> was about to dispose of his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=44050\/mastercraft-kaluak-fishing-pole\">Mastercraft Kalu&#8217;ak Fishing Pole<\/a> when he discovered you can use it as a fishing profession tool.<\/li>\n<li>Mitch has apparently been holding onto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=19882\/the-hexxers-head\">Jin&#8217;do the Hexxer&#8217;s head<\/a> for almost 20 years, having earned the head before Blizzard removed it as a requirement for completion.<\/li>\n<li>In the same vein of &#8220;stuff that literally just takes up space and nothing else,&#8221; the lovely <a href=\"https:\/\/blizzardwatch.com\/author\/abell\/\">Anna Bell<\/a> said you can pry her 26 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=22726\/splinter-of-atiesh\">Splinters of Atiesh<\/a> from her cold, dead hands.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Looking through my bank, I&#8217;m pretty sure I have a problem. If the guys from <em>Pawn Stars<\/em> ever picked through it, they would probably question why do I still have six <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=113405\/gently-squeezed-toad\">Gently Squeezed Toads<\/a>. Or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=5052\/unconscious-dig-rat\">Unconscious Dig Rat<\/a> that a guild member sent me as a thank-you one time. Hopefully the vial holding the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=22754\/eternal-quintessence\">Eternal Quintessence<\/a> doesn&#8217;t get cracked, as I can&#8217;t replace it. And how could I possibly get rid of my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=169141\/butterfly-net\">Butterfly Net<\/a>, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=180652\/fae-dreamcatcher\">Fae Dreamcatcher<\/a>, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=170477\/mardivass-universally-lauded-tote\">Mardivas&#8217;s Universally Lauded Tote<\/a>, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/item=18640\/happy-fun-rock\">Happy Fun Rock<\/a>? You never know what random item will suddenly become important for a secret!<\/p>\n<p>What do you have kicking around? Are you keeping it for some utility or for sentimental reasons?
