Normally, if an item is used in a later quest, say the lore and legend series, it says on the tooltip "used in the quest Lore and Legend : X" "Can be studied to learn more about X"Also, if you examine an item (by right clicking on it), it gives more detail on it than just mousing over it.As far as I know, the items that are ".....treasure" are all vendor trash.You cant sell tradeskill items, they all have "no value" on them.Drops from mob corpses, unless they are status items, which is stated on them "may be handed in to X", or lore and legend items, which again, is stated on them, are mostly vendor trash.Loot that is of some use is generally in a chest of some kind when you kill the mob.I use profitUI addon, and if in doubt, I click the link for either EQ2Wikia, or Allakhazam to check the itemOoooh..and, most of the time it has "Treasured" on it if it is of some use.
