Beastmen's Seal  

Can't buy or trade or sell Beastmen's Seals. These are for the later Burning Circle Notorious Monster fights which you can start at level 20. They are commonly referred to as BCNM battles. You can get drops from winning these BCNM battles that are very valuable and some of the drops cannot be obtained elsewhere (except the AH on which they usually sell for big buxx).

You have to trade the number of beastmen's seals which is the level of the BCNM battle you plan to attempt (i.e. 20 for the level 20 one, 30 for the level 30 one, etc) for a special orb which you trade to the burning circle to begin the battle. Your level will be capped at that number. As will anyone in your party who goes with you. Some of them allow 3 party members total and some allow 6.

At any rate, what I do with the beastmen seals is put them in storage. Just get some kind of furniture in your house and you will get at least one storage space. You can't access it from rent-a-rooms but it does help get them out of the way. You will definitely need to save these for later, as you will really want to try the BCNM battles because you can make a LOT of $$ off them, and you will need money, trust me.
