-Movement through beach, grassland and non-heavy jungle [[terrain]] usually costs 1 AP, but with the ''trekking'' [[skill]] it only costs 0.5 AP (note that character AP display is rounded off), and ''trailblazing'' allows 0.5 AP movement through heavy jungle as well. Travel through swamp and water terrain is harder and consumes more AP per movement. Certain terrain can be dangerous: swimming in deep water can result in a [[shark]] bite, which can only be cured with a [[Healing_Items#First_Aid_Kits|first aid kit]] or [[Healing_Items#Healing_Herbs|healing herb]].

 An unsuccessful search generally does not mean that there are no items in the area, just that you didn't find any on that attempt. You can search any area multiple times and continue to find items (see [[How searching works]]). However, if the search results in "You find a broken knife, which you discard.
