I get the uses for several items. But my issue that I cant find anywhere is the items that have the use of trading with merchants what items are they traded for? Is it just a few certain items so that once I have them I can just sell them whenever I loot them again, or do I need them to buy things for certain quests so I need to keep so many of them?
