Are some monster drops good for nothing but selling?

Are there any items in this game that have no purpose at all other than selling to a merchant? I have been keeping every monster drop I get and I still have not found a use for several of the items I am getting on a regular basis.

The following are some items I have not yet found a use for:

Buddha's Hand
Ragged Fur
Mystical Fur
Organic Glue
Elemental Dust (the stuff that sells to a merchant for 120, not the stuff that sells for 800 and is used in the banker slot expansion quest)
Lime Stone
Green Fragments

Has anyone found a use for any of those items or should I just be selling them to a merchant. I looked up all the level 1 and 2 crafting receipes and did not find any of those items.

Also, the 6 items you need for the first banker's expansion (Mystical Meat, Elemental Dust, Soft Fur, Antenna, Disguise Skin, and Rhino Horn) all say that they are required for Dragon Quest: Chiuniu (20). What does that mean? Are these items going to be used again for another quest besides the banker's expansion quest or are they just junk to sell to a vendor and other player's now that the quest is complete?

Thanks for any information you can provide.

    As far as the list goes you are completely right. The only one I'm not certain about is Organic Glue but your pretty much spot on. The rest of those items have no purpose whatsoever and can be sold.

    The mystical meat, soft fur etc are reguired on numerous dq quests from lv20-31 so definately keep piling them up for the moment. Hope that helped.

    Almost all items are good. just read their description. If it has like production req. or ingredient. it's sellable to players.. if not.. sell it to NPC

    Dragon Quests are a repeatable quest chain. The first will become available at L20. DQs all have about 10 NPCs to talk to, about half of which will require you to bring some DQ items.

    They are a nice renewable source of quest XP, but they are _not_ a source of quest money. Since DQs require extensive traveling to reach all the quest NPCs, you'll lose money overall. The tokens you earn from DQs are pretty useful though.

    Yeah, I was really surprised about the Organic Glue since the description strongly implies that it is a crafting item (saying something like it is the lowest quality type of glue used for crafting), yet when I look at the crafting recepies I see several other types of glue that are needed but no Organic Glue. I wonder if it can be refined into a better glue or if they just intended to make it a crafting item, but never bothered.

    In the early levels, you find a lot of useless stuff. They exist for the sole reason of giving you much needed money. Be careful, though, because you can accidently sell something that is useful. Make sure you check the description for each item. If it is used for anything, it will say so.

    I went ahead and looked it up and the description on Organic Glue is, "Lowest grade paste for producing equipment." If that does not scream crafting item I do not know what does, but I sure cannot seem to find a receipe that uses it.

    Doesn't the Craftsman items (rings, necklaces and belts) use glue?

    Yes, but not Organic Glue. They need other types of glue.
