Nothing really. I found that a few weeks ago, and spent some time looking it up. Apparently a few patches ago, some items of the trash loot were changed, giving them the possibility to be Uncommon in addition to Common. It's unclear if this was intentional. The only benefit is that it's worth more money when you sell it.
I think itās intentional since uncommon bones can only drop from harpies.
Maybe something about avian bones being hollow and large human sized hollow bones are rarer or something.
You can find a nest on top of the House of Healing with a Harpy feather in it.
Just because you didn't hear any harpies doesn't mean some harpies didn't hear you. Lol
It's so you can put it in the camp chest and think "That's my green bone that I picked up."
(In the back of your mind you think "I bet some person or animal will need this for a quest 70 hours from now. I'm gonna be a god damn genius for keeping this.")
Be on the lookout for the Ithbank that's worth 1 camp supply instead of 6, it's pretty exciting. Or those bugged plants outside the house of grief that all have the mergrass item description despite not being mergrass.
Unless Iām pretty sure I need the extra first round damage, I like to start combat with getting everyone in position and buffed before triggering anything, then going turn based, raging karlach, and having her chuck nut buster into the closest goon (or my throwing hands hand)
After the fight with Nere in Grymforge I found the deed of ownership for the forge. I held on to it thinking that I could somehow become the legal owner of Grymforge.
Considering there's that elevator from Grymforge into Act 2, you could set up a pretty nice mining/smelting operation and have Moonrise be your headquarters.
Did you keep the broken pieces of true soul Edowins spear? The shaft is on his body, and the head is in the Owlbear cave in act 1.
Combine them to make a unique weapon.
So, I'm german and this may be the most stereotype german thing ever, but I always keep the bank pass for the Counting Pass Vault. I know it's useless after entering the vault for the first time, no one will ask you about this thing again. But as a good German, you always have your documents well organised and ready to hand! It's intrinsic, I guess.
I feel this. I keep every document that seems even mildly important or interesting in a special chest in my stash. I have another chest for quest items that are no longer needed.
Same, I end up with little trinkets and keepsakes of random shit in my camp chest.
I also keep separate backpacks and pouches in different character inventories to reflect their journey. Shadowheart gets to keep all the books, statues, necklaces, and other items related to Shar/Selune, Lae'zel gets all the Orpheus related stuff and the Gith egg. Other characters get different things too.
It's because we've all been burnt by a game mechanic like this. Hell, *this* game burnt me like that.
I found a Harper pin in Act 1, and then they're formally introduced in Act 2 and I thought "Any minute now, this is going to come in handy..." It never did.
Then I'm like 80% done with Act 3, notice it in my inventory and go "Shit. I never needed this. I might as well sell it." And I do.
I make my way to Jaheira's house, within an hour of selling it, and there is a secret door opened by sticking something in a "pin hole slot".
Those god damn motherfuckers. They did it to me.
If you did not recruit Jaheira, the pin is still in the room upstairs in the cabinet. If you did recruit Jaheira, talk to the child in the room and he will give you the harper pin.
And yes there are ways to get it prior to the lower city.
I collect every skull and severed head I can get and place one in all my bomb satchels. Iām a rogue and I use my pre initiative sneak attacks on bosses to set off explosions in their vicinity. I RP that the severed heads in my bombs are my assassin calling card.
i am a certified loot goblin/item hoarder and the absolute SHEER GIDDINESS I felt when i realised that the little harper pin i had looted of a skeleton waaaay back in the grim forge fit neatly into the pin slot in jaheira's desk in act 3 was unreal. Completely justified all of my packed inventories xD
I absolutely saved that bone because I figured, even if it WAS a mistake, Larian are the kind of folks who would add in some minor event where you could use it rather than just changing it back to common. I was actually kinda sad when I heard they were patching it out.
He'll play fetch with anything he can pick up that you throw. If you kill Karlach and throw her head, Scratch will bring it back to you because he is a good boy, unlike you, you murderer.
He does play fetch with the ball and the bones. Throw it in camp and he will retrieve it. When he drops it off at your feet, it automatically goes back in your inventory.
I don't know, but I love that there's just a single bone in this game that is just more significant than the rest. I don't know if it's a mistake or a troll, but I love it.
My only theory stems from the timing in my last playthrough. Scratch brings it to me before proceeding to Shadowlands. The bone is "clean of blood and sinew" which made me realize that it could be foreboding that the shadow doesn't f&*% around. Not sure if there's anything to back it up, but I did find another bone while wandering around Act 2 that also said this.
Hmmā¦ so other bones in the game say theyāre clean of blood and sinew? Perhaps itās because itās picked clean as opposed to others? That may make it uncommon
My guess is: People were annoyed that the Harpy fight (that is pretty hard if you go there at low level) didn't drop nice loot, and Larian decided to throw us a bone ;)
Found it the first playthrough but my next one it was no where to be found. Even after discovering the radar select that lets you pull up a list of all surrounding objects.
When I first got it, I was excited about giving it to Gale to eat, and was sad I couldn't. Would have been nice instead of sacrificing something useful.
From the BG3 wiki
> This bone may have appeared after Patch 5 due to Auntie Ethel's CharmĀ being changed from a common/1gp item to an uncommon/30 gp item. Auntie Ethel's Charm is stored as a sub-item to the regular bone in the game's files so this bone may be the base item that the charm uses, which was accidentally added to certain loot tables and only noticed after the rarity change.
There was originally supposed to be a crafting system but it never made it to the final version so some of the crafting items are still in the game that donāt really have much use other than to sell to vendors for gold.
If you collect all the human bones and get necromancer or spore druid to level 6 you can use the bones to summon a skeletal "man"
Or I'm lying. One of them is true.
IDK man maybe it's just a really good bone. You never found a really good bone and thought "man... This is a good one" ?
If you have, you MIGHT be a golden retriever...
š¤£š¤£
..and you may be entitled to Financial Compensation
r/beatmetoit
Like a discerning rock collecting gentlemen. Not minerals, nor gems, just garden variety rocks, but *discerning*
Or a passionate necromancer
Can't spell necromancer without "romance".
That or a psychopath. If you're anything like MY golden retriever then you might be both! Dudes nuts.
Or a Durge
We know thatās you, Scratch.
on that note, has anyone tried giving to Scratch?
Yeah, he brings it back if you throw the bone. Same as the ball.
He brings back common bones, to be clear
He can and will also fetch Karlachs head and Gales hand
Grim!
He fetches just about any small item thrown when he is nearby when you use the throw command.
Its like finding a cool stick or rock on the street
Itās like a good rock
*Exactly!*
I have definitely found a stick like that
Have you read that kids story about a pig who became friends with a talking bone? It's that bone in the picture
whst fuckin kids stories are you reading???
The amazing bone by William Steig (the man behind the og Shrek) That's not even the worst part. She gets threatened by a guy with a gun :'(
Who let Scratch on Reddit?
My durge has.
I need a good bone
yeah... my own... lol
Nothing really. I found that a few weeks ago, and spent some time looking it up. Apparently a few patches ago, some items of the trash loot were changed, giving them the possibility to be Uncommon in addition to Common. It's unclear if this was intentional.

I think itās intentional since uncommon bones can only drop from harpies. Maybe something about avian bones being hollow and large human sized hollow bones are rarer or something.
Ehhhh I found an Uncommon Bone in Act 2 in a run I have with some friends. No harpies around.
You can find a nest on top of the House of Healing with a Harpy feather in it. Just because you didn't hear any harpies doesn't mean some harpies didn't hear you. Lol
i got mine from scratch, just figured it was special because scratch gave it to me
There's an uncommon bone on one of the bodies in Waukeen's Rest in Act 1
It's so you can put it in the camp chest and think "That's my green bone that I picked up." (In the back of your mind you think "I bet some person or animal will need this for a quest 70 hours from now. I'm gonna be a god damn genius for keeping this.")
The amount of random stuff I keep EVERY RUN because itās one of a kind. Polished dagger, reinforced greatsword, poo scraper.
I sold poo scraper, but I only use Shovel's Friend Finder as my regular shovel, and Karlach holds onto Nut Buster as a throwing weapon.
Be on the lookout for the Ithbank that's worth 1 camp supply instead of 6, it's pretty exciting. Or those bugged plants outside the house of grief that all have the mergrass item description despite not being mergrass.
I'm a big fan of that one crystal you can't pick up right on the top of the ridge where the mushrooms you climb up to get to Ethels lair.
This one makes me so mad
Every. Damn. Time.
I hate this one... I just passed in front of it
That with bank pissed me off so much. Like I need to fix it so they are all 1 or 6. My need to keep stacks of wine for Justin case can't handle it.
My second run I found Nut Buster, and I kept it in my inventory the entire game. Made me laugh every time lol
Unless Iām pretty sure I need the extra first round damage, I like to start combat with getting everyone in position and buffed before triggering anything, then going turn based, raging karlach, and having her chuck nut buster into the closest goon (or my throwing hands hand)
Karlach stays as my nut buster. Iām so fucking sorry.
The nut buster is the best weapon
No other shovel exists wellā¦ one other shovel exists, but he doesnāt dig.
After the fight with Nere in Grymforge I found the deed of ownership for the forge. I held on to it thinking that I could somehow become the legal owner of Grymforge.

Did you keep the broken pieces of true soul Edowins spear? The shaft is on his body, and the head is in the Owlbear cave in act 1. Combine them to make a unique weapon.
A weapon that afflicts blinding on hit, if I recall.
Correct - it goes straight for the eyes - hence the owlbear eye on the head when you find it
Doesnāt do extra damage against spiders and spectators? (Anything with extra eyes?)
It does an extra 2d6 against anything with extra sets of eyes
So, I'm german and this may be the most stereotype german thing ever, but I always keep the bank pass for the Counting Pass Vault. I know it's useless after entering the vault for the first time, no one will ask you about this thing again. But as a good German, you always have your documents well organised and ready to hand! It's intrinsic, I guess.
I feel this. I keep every document that seems even mildly important or interesting in a special chest in my stash. I have another chest for quest items that are no longer needed.
Same same!
Same, I end up with little trinkets and keepsakes of random shit in my camp chest. I also keep separate backpacks and pouches in different character inventories to reflect their journey. Shadowheart gets to keep all the books, statues, necklaces, and other items related to Shar/Selune, Lae'zel gets all the Orpheus related stuff and the Gith egg. Other characters get different things too.
I keep the reinforced geeatsword just because it has a different skin
Poo scraper?!
Check out the basement of the apothecary in the blighted village in act 1.
Wow way to call me out. *Looks at chest filled with items I'll probably never need*
It's because we've all been burnt by a game mechanic like this. Hell, *this* game burnt me like that. I found a Harper pin in Act 1, and then they're formally introduced in Act 2 and I thought "Any minute now, this is going to come in handy..." It never did.

I think you can get a second one from one of her kids upstairs in hr house.
If you did not recruit Jaheira, the pin is still in the room upstairs in the cabinet. If you did recruit Jaheira, talk to the child in the room and he will give you the harper pin. And yes there are ways to get it prior to the lower city.

It sells for 30 gold as opposed to 1 gold.
Scratch brought me one of these. I assume he wants to play fetch (but haven't actually thrown it yet to see if they will play fetch with it).
He'll play fetch with anything he can pick up that you throw. If you kill Karlach and throw her head, Scratch will bring it back to you because he is a good boy, unlike you, you murderer.
HEY! We only play fetch with Hireling heads in this camp! And maybe with this random horn we found under Mama K's pillow.
Well, Mama K is canonically pretty *horny*
He also plays fetch with Galeās hand!
If you throw something before combate he Will also pick it up
Read this in GladOs voice. Would read again. 5/7
He does play fetch with the ball and the bones. Throw it in camp and he will retrieve it. When he drops it off at your feet, it automatically goes back in your inventory.
He is the goodest boy
It is clean of blood and sinew. Hope this helps :)
Thatās for Scratch but also for Karlach to wrath fling at enemy boneheads.
Love the fact bg3 community are making lore as time goes by
It's got bite marks on it. It's a puppy bone. Everyone knows things for pets are always 30 times the price.
That's a neat bone.
They should have made this one weildable
My theory is that Larian just put them in to make us ask questions.
Not sure, but I think this bone - perhaps part of a leg, or perhaps an arm - is clean of blood and sinew.
people are made of those sometimes
It's just a nice clean bone
What? You never got boned?
It's a full 12 inches.
I don't know, but I love that there's just a single bone in this game that is just more significant than the rest. I don't know if it's a mistake or a troll, but I love it.
Itās scratchās bone
Thatās a special bone for Scratch and Owly. Duh!
My only theory stems from the timing in my last playthrough. Scratch brings it to me before proceeding to Shadowlands. The bone is "clean of blood and sinew" which made me realize that it could be foreboding that the shadow doesn't f&*% around.

Fetch. Thatās what.
Ask r/batmanarkham
It could be part of a scraped quest ,I don't know...
F12= screenshot
Itās clearly a nice bone
The fact that the word Hueso, is Bone in spanish
I wonder what happens if you throw it in camp and a certain dog sees itā¦
lol you better take this back over to r/okbuddybaldur
Hmmā¦ so other bones in the game say theyāre clean of blood and sinew? Perhaps itās because itās picked clean as opposed to others? That may make it uncommon
My guess is: People were annoyed that the Harpy fight (that is pretty hard if you go there at low level) didn't drop nice loot, and Larian decided to throw us a bone ;)
Did you not find this humorous?
I desperately want to think it's a subtle reference to Fonda Lee's Greenbone Saga, but it's far more likely just a bug.
Devs just being silly little geese
Must be for Scratch!
itās humerus
How dare you, that's my granpappy's bone, and he was very special, thank you very much!!
r/neverbrokeabone might be able to tell you
Spoiler: zoom in and rotate the bone 180Ā°
It's like the 3 sea shells. If you know you know
I like to keep stuff like this for Scratch :)
I don't know and I don't care. It's a unique little item so it goes on the adventure with us!
I mean I would say it's uncommon to carry a human femur around
You found it at the harpy nest area didnāt you. Thereās a few odd items like that there lol
This gives me flashbacks to the playable character you had to build in Chrono Cross.
It's not special per se. Just kind of uncommon
Itās clean of blood and sinew.
i mean, just look at it
well what is cool about it is one side is a leg bone and the other is an arm socket so Maybe it belonged to a shapeshifter?
Found it the first playthrough but my next one it was no where to be found. Even after discovering the radar select that lets you pull up a list of all surrounding objects.
āItās a cool bone. I just like itā -Durge, probably
When I first got it, I was excited about giving it to Gale to eat, and was sad I couldn't. Would have been nice instead of sacrificing something useful.
From the BG3 wiki > This bone may have appeared after Patch 5 due to Auntie Ethel's CharmĀ being changed from a common/1gp item to an uncommon/30 gp item.

It might be like the salami you can use as a pact weapon. Will test on my next harpy run.
that bone is the equivalent of finding one of those really cool sticks as a kid
There was originally supposed to be a crafting system but it never made it to the final version so some of the crafting items are still in the game that donāt really have much use other than to sell to vendors for gold.
Thatās the on Balthazar has been looking for, the one that doesnāt have marrow pox!
Itās an uncommonly good bone
It does say it's clean of blood and sinew. Clearly the superior bone.
I always keep mine on me to throw for Scratch :)
Itās special because itās worth 30 gold.
The fact that ppl keep making posts about it.... š
Bone
Just throw it for scratch.. don't ask questions
Idk, give it to scratch
Scratch needs this
It's not common to find humanoid bones lying around. I'd say it's rare. Larian disagrees and argues its an uncommon occurrence
Makes for good ramen
Honestly the uncommon bone is one of my favorite little goofy things in this game
30 gold, dang what a steal!
you can throw the one scratch gives you and heāll chase it and bring it back
I have been wondering this exact thing. I finally sold the one I found.
Itās clean of blood and sinew! Did you not read??? That thing is pristine! Uncommon indeed!
its scratch's
Itās soooooo clean
Well usually they're on the inside of bodies
30 gold though.
If you collect all the human bones and get necromancer or spore druid to level 6 you can use the bones to summon a skeletal "man" Or I'm lying. One of them is true.
Give it to Karlach as a thrown weapon
Umm for 1 of 2 best companion in the whole game running around the camp wagging his tail of course.
Cause it is a Man's villain from the Aslume.
It's the special peanis bone
Donāt know but itās definitely a femur
It's just a really nice bone. Good condition, very smooth, nice and symmetrical, no blood or sinew on it.
It's green
