missable

Not worth catching

Missable describes something that can be missed—either skipped without consequence or easily overlooked.

In gaming, a missable item or quest becomes permanently unavailable if you don't grab it at the right moment: That achievement is missable if you don't talk to the NPC before the boss fight.

More broadly, missable suggests something forgettable or dispensable: The middle chapters are missable.
