An item should never be *completly* useless. It could rather be hard to figure out WHAT a certain item could be used to. A monster head can be used in a helmet, but it should\'nt be a common item that MUST be used to make a helmet. I\'ve just read another thread wishing for the possibility of making books. Now, if you have a book that says, that and that item can be used to make a helmet or shield that gives ST+1 Wi+2 etc, you could quickliy know were to sell  that item to make bucks out of it. But, since no such books are made at the beginning, people must experiment to figure out what a item can do. It should ofcourse be different degrees out of items, damages and undamaged items, or flawless items. All giving different values and so on.

(hope my english don\'t suck as much as i think)
