So, apparently, you can sell (or donate) things that you really ought to hold onto in this game. Irritating!

My husband told me that at some point, Mary-Beth will ask for a pen. I’m assuming the pen you get from Jimmy Brooks (a.k.a The Man From Blackwater) is the right one, and it even says “unique item” beneath the pen…but you can still donate or sell it?! Anywho…

Here’s a list of crap you’re going to have clogging your inventory up for a bit, assuming you want to take advantage of the awesome trinkets and talismans you can have crafted at the Fence (and that you want to make the other gang members happy by granting their item requests.)

Talisman and Trinket Ingredients

  • Gold joined bracelet
  • Vintage civil war handcuffs
  • Quartz chunk
  • Silver chain bracelet
  • Abalone shell fragment
  • Silver earring
  • Cobalt petrified wood
  • Gold earring
  • Old brass compass

Gang-Member Requests

  • Hair pomade for Bill
  • Silver locket necklace for Tilly
  • Thimble and a Penny Dreadful (some sort of comic I guess? Haven’t done that one, only read about it) for Jack
  • Pipe for Dutch
  • Silver pocket watch for Lenny (again, haven’t done this one yet, but read about it)

Crafting Ingredients

  • Flight feather – GET AS MANY OF THESE AS YOU CAN! You need them for literally any sort of arrow crafting, and you’ll be wanting those arrows. Massacre all the flying birds. (Hint, turkeys don’t have flight feathers so no need in fussing with them.)
  • Owl, Eagle, and Hawk feather – these are used for improving your tomahawks once you get some.
  • Animal fat – used for crafting fire bottles and improving some arrows or ammo.
  • Moonshine, Gin, Guarma rum,Fine brandy, Kentucky bourbon – aside from being useful as tonics, you craft fire bottles with them.

Food

  • Big game meat – without giving too much away, plot wise, you’ll want to save your quality food such as plain and seasoned Big Game meat for later in the story. So scarf down that stringy meat, bird meat, and regular size game meat in the early story, and save the big stuff.
