Processed Good A processed good is any item that is used in the creation of another item but is not useable in and of itself. For example: an ingot, a plank, a roll of fabric or leather, these are processed goods because they are used in the creation of other goods and are not useable in and of themselves. Previously thought to be any item made by the Processing Artisan Tree, with Cooking and Alchemy moving into Processing this previous definition is not outdated. Note: You do not drop potions, beverages, or food when you die, even though these items are produced by the processing tree.
