Valuable DoN Cultural Tradeskill Materials
The Dragons of Norrath expansion pack is the first expansion pack that adds in a unique line of Tradeskill items called Cultural TS items. There are Cultural Pelts, Silk, Ore, Loam, Marrow and Spinneret Fluid which drop from enemies all across the world. Every expansion until the TDS expansion pack which raises the level cap introduces a new set of Cultural Tradeskill materials.
Out of all six of the Cultural TS materials only 3 of them are forever valuable, the Pelts, Silk and Ore. The other three, Loam, Marrow and Spinneret Fluid I typically vendor since they almost never sell in The Bazaar. Cultural Silk can be used to very quickly level Tailoring to max, same with the Pelts. The Cultural Ore is typically used to level Blacksmithing up very quickly. That's the reason for their value.
To give you a few examples of Cultural Pelt, Silk & Ore uses, here are all of the Tradeskill guides that I have which feature these items.

Additional Information
- Don't always undercut the lowest price in The Bazaar when selling this stuff. People undercut quickly and by a lot since finding a few TS items is easy. When people go to buy this stuff they usually buy hundreds at a time, which means they'll quickly buy out all the cheapest TS Items and eventually work their way up to whomever is selling hundreds of them.
- On different servers different items will sell well. I play on Firiona Vie primarily but I have also made characters on Cazic Thule & Bertoxxulous to check the economies. Each one had certain TS items that were stocked well and others that weren't. Learning your server and what sells is a big part of making a lot of plat.
- If you have a lot of items to sell a message in /auc or general chat after you start your trader before you go into Offline Mode never hurts. Especially if you can advertise really low prices on a few items, people very commonly will swoop in and buy more items than you even advertised in your message.
