Cocoa Beans may or may not be usable as an ingredient for Hot Chocolate (an actual healing item), accepted by an NPC of which I wouldn't remember its location off-hand, but it is not an in-battle healing item; it would be auto-sorted in the potions pocket by the client if it was. Assuming that they still are, they are technically expendable, just not in as timely of a fashion one may want from junk-collecting NPCs.
Question: if Cocoa Beans could be used as an out-of-battle healing item as Revives are—this is still hyopthetical and tenative; I can't promise this will be the condition in the future—would players mind if they were still sorted into the main Items pocket, if they're more readily expendable that way?
