Players hoard a hundred elixirs and never drink one: broken item or just scary to use?

A consumable that sits in the bag for the whole game is a wasted idea, but the reason matters: it may be too weak, too strong to waste, or hidden. This entry shows how to tell the cases apart from the item counts you already have.

Why this works

A full bag can mean two opposite things: players love the item too much to spend it, or they never learned it was worth using. Telling them apart needs two counts, because each cause calls for a different fix.

When not to use it

Skip it for items meant to be kept, such as keys, quest pieces or a last-resort rescue that players are supposed to save. Judge those by whether they are used at the right moment, not by how many remain.
