Item

In Rule the Seas, items are physical objects that a player may have in their inventory. Players distinguish them by their names and graphics. The game additionally distinguishes items by ID numbers that are not visible to players in-game.

Characteristics
Items can be described by a number of characteristics:


 * Graphics: All obtainable items have graphics. All items may be held in the inventory and therefore have inventory pictures. This inventory picture also appears in the shop interface, albeit its size may vary.
 * Name: Most items have a unique name for that particular item. Some may have the same exact name, yet have different purposes.
 * ID: All of the items in Rule the Seas have a unique number that identifies it. Only one item has the same ID, unlike how multiple items can have the same name. Seemingly identical items may have different IDs as they are used for different purposes.
 * Tradeability: Many items may be traded between players; however, many quest-related and miscellaneous items cannot be traded, and are defined as lore items. Lore items may still be traded by used of a Black Market Transfer.
 * Equippability: Some items, such as weapons or armour, can be worn, giving bonuses or penalties to combat statistics. Many equipped items also have other effects.
