Broken Trident: Bugged?

It's only the broken trident and neptunes glaive that can't be trashed
This is because for some reason CA implemented them as "special items" like tools and the return scepter that can't be trashed, thrown from the inventory, or sold
The same happens with the museum loot and causes all sorts of issues (like the reward seeds not stacking with other stacks of those seeds)


There are reports already addressing this issue and I think there will be an overhaul for 1.6.9 regarding them

For now, if you want to destroy them, your best bet is putting a chest where the traveling cart comes and putting it under there, or force an npcs to break a chest with the item inside, save the same, then exit and reenter to despawn it

I have two broken tridents now and can't get rid of them. No big deal, just two slots in a big chest somewhere. It's just really strange. Thanks for the explanation, FG.
I believe 1.6.9 did change many of the items to be trashable/sellable though that might not be extending to the trident?
May want to put in a bug report if you’re absolutely sure it isn’t able to be discarded.
