Useless item

A Useless item is an item which has no use beyond being able to be examined. They may be worth any number of coins when sold at shops or traded with other players, and are not always considered worthless. These items cannot be equipped or consumed. They cannot be used on any other item, scenery, NPC or player to achieve any type of result. They serve no purpose in any quest, or any task that the player can accomplish. There are items which have become useless overtime due to updates to RuneScape Classic.
