Treasure
Treasure is the game's term for sell-only items — things with a vendor value but no other use. A treasure item can't be eaten, equipped, brewed, or spent in any recipe, contract, or building; its only purpose is to be sold for Amber. Their Bank cards now say so plainly, so you never hold onto one wondering what it's for.
How treasure is decided
editTreasure is not a hand-picked list — the game derives it. An item counts as treasure when it has a sell value but is used by nothing: it heals nothing, equips nowhere, isn't a potion, salve, dino gear or blueprint sheet, and appears in no action, recipe, building bill, museum donation, seed pairing, or quest step. Whatever's left over — boss trophies, biome relics, loose gems, one-off oddities — is treasure. A handful of items are deliberately held back from the list even though they look sell-only (Riftglass, Primal Catalyst, Golden Fang Banner and the Amberglass Menagerie), because they're reserved for future use.

Because the list is derived, an item can leave treasure the moment the game gives it a use — so a "sell-only" tag is always current, never stale.
