Unidentifiable Shell is a currency primarily used to purchase Grade 3 Shroud Topsoil, though it is also used in three different relic weapon quests, exchanged for Fast-drying Carboncoat and Crystal Sand.
Where To Purchase Unidentifiable Shells
There are two primary methods of obtaining Unidentifiable Shells. The most common is simply by visiting Rowena’s Representatives around Eorzea where they will give you one shell for 150 Allagan Tomestones of Poetics. The other is through various tribe exchanges. The Moogles, Vanu, Vath, and Sahagin will all give you one shell for a certain number of their respective currencies. Those who are into raiding can also pick up a few of these by using Precision Gordian Lenses. Here’s the full breakdown of vendors that accept Poetics.

What To Purchase With Unidentifiable Shells
Like we said earlier, you’ll primarily be bringing these to Bertana and buying Grade 3 Shroud Topsoil in her Uncanny Knickknacks Exchange.
- Bertana in Idyllshire (X: 5.9, Y: 5.2) will take one shell for one Grade 3 Shroud Topsoil.
- Cristiana in Mor Dhona (X: 21.4, Y: 5.5) will take ten shells and four Titanium Alloy Mirrors for one Fast-drying Carboncoat, a relic weapon material.
- Ulan in Idyllshire (X: 6.4, Y: 4.7) will take one of each of the four Unidentifiable materials for two Crystal Sand.
The Unidentifiable items are frequently used to convert an overabundance of Poetics into Gil by selling the purchased Grade 3 topsoils.
