Question: Are Materials used for anything besides some side quests? My materials pocket is full, and other than a couple of items with "!" on them (these are for quests), I really don't know the use for them. Or are they just to be sold?

Besides what Cone said, any materials you have in excess that don't have an "!" can be sold as they can be gotten again later easily if you need them. Most of the time though you won't need those items without an "!".

I wouldn't say that they're 'easy' to get back...I sold my Hode Planks, for example. When I needed them for the bridge, it took me over an hour to find 2. That wasn't marked for a quest, and without that, they'd be no bridge, so no tomb discovery, so no quest line, no Giant's treasure etc. All CAN be found again, though.

You must've fought the wrong Hodes lol :P. Once I realized only some Hodes gave planks I got them a little fast. I don't remember if I had that many to begin with though, so I don't think I ever sold them. For me though, I just found things you can get lots of were OK to get rid of for the most part.

I just went around killing the Hodes in Makna as it said. I realised after a while that the hunter ones dropped then most frequently, but there's only 4 in the entire area...so it took me a while!

Still a great game though.
