What is worth picking up

Most of this list is keys and map fragments, and both are progression rather than inventory: a key opens exactly one door, and a map fragment bought from Merrick puts a weapon's location on your overworld map instead of leaving you to find it. Neither is something you manage — you either have it or you are walking past the thing it unlocks.

The rest divides into consumables you spend and materials you hand to somebody. Every entry here carries the line the game's own inventory screen shows alongside what it actually does, because on several of them those two say very different things.

Map fragments are the shortcutThirteen: eleven that each mark one weapon or sidearm, plus a map of Fainweald and one of Mammon. Buying the map is the difference between finding a weapon and hunting for it.
