Rare\EX

[gordonfreeman]

Today I was out killing things and I got a Two-Leaf Mandragora Bud and it had two circles with the words Rare and EX in them. Just so you know I have only been playing the game for a couple of days now.

What do I do with the item? Should I just sell it or should I keep it for later?

Rare and Exclusive. Rare meaning you can only have one at a time, and exclusive meaning you can not trade or sell it.

Certain items might be one or the other, and some might be unsellable to NPCs, or unauctionable, and must be bazaared.


P.S. You should have totally hooked up with Alyx.

P.S.S. What the hell your character's name is Alyx!

Ok thanks. So I should just sell them if I can right?

The two-leaf mandragora bud has no real purpose as far as I know. In Windurst there is a taru who wants you to collect items from mandragoras, but he doesn't rewards you for two-leaf buds. He accepts three-leaf buds, cornettes and yuhtunga sulfur. You can also eat the two-leaf bud for a +2 agi and -4 vit effect, but I dont know why anyone would want to do that.

Ok thanks again for the help

The two-leaf mandragora bud has no real purpose as far as I know.
Its used in 2 Windurst quests and a couple of Alchemy synths.

Its Ex so it won't sell. Just drop them. They're essentially worthless.
Somepage says they're only used in two quests:
http://ffxi.somepage.com/questdb/180 and
http://ffxi.somepage.com/questdb/219
Also a couple alchemy and cooking recipes, but nothing real major. They drop like crazy anyways, so its not hard to go farm them if and when you need them.

EDIT: dang you Mhurron. You're too fast. ><

If you want to do the Aspir quest, you have to have done the Teacher's Pet quest first, so at least do that quest if nothing else.
