Various items are scattered on the island and can be carried in a player's inventory. All items can be found by searching in the appropriate places; some tend to be found more in huts and villages, while others are more likely to be found in the jungle. All items can be traded to traders for what they have in stock.
Most items are used for cost of 1 AP by clicking on them in the inventory. Clicking on items which are only useful in battle or trade will give you a short description of the item, at no cost of AP.
For more information, see Talk:Items.
Melee weapons
The default weapon, the punch, deals 1 point of base damage at 10% base accuracy.
There is an unknown chance of a weapon dealing additional damage during combat. "Maybe it's luck or maybe it's skill, your attack is right on target and inflicts more damage than normal. You attack [the target] for 5 damage." There is also an unknown chance of a weapon breaking during combat, which causes you to lose that weapon. "Unlucky or just clumsy? The blade snaps off and you're left holding the handle, which you discard." See Special weapon event odds for more information.

Ranged weapons and ammunition
Unlike melee weapons, ranged weapons rely on ammunition. If a ranged weapon is not loaded, the character will not be able to attack with it. Reloading is accomplished for 1 AP by clicking on name of the ammunition associated with weapon in the inventory list.

Consumables
Using a consumable item takes 1 AP and removes the item from your inventory. XP is also gained equal to the HP restored or removed by the item.
Fruits and drinks may only be used on yourself. First aid kits and healing herbs may also be used to heal animals and other characters (including NPC traders and shamans).

Empty bottle
Remains in your inventory after drinking a bottle of beer, rum or water.
Normal trade value: $20.
They may be filled at certain locations, including:
- Water in inland rivers (gives bottle of water)
- Water at beach (gives a bottle of salt water)
Empty gourd
Drinking a gourd of water leaves an empty gourd in your inventory. Functionally, it is identical to an empty bottle, except that the two count as separate items in the trading hut.
Useful equipment
GPS unit
- Normal value: $250
- Locations: outsider camps, outsider resource huts
- Usable by: outsiders; natives with outsider knowledge
Gives the coordinate location of your character when a signal is available in a non-dense, non-enclosed area. Coordinates are in the form [-70.366,+26.443], where the first number is the X coordinate (longitude) and the second is the Y coordinate (latitude). Moving a single square represents a change in coordinate in that direction of 0.001.
Piece of driftwood
- Normal value: $70
- Locations: beach, dunes, boatyard
A signpost can be built out of two pieces of driftwood.
Sharpening stone
- Normal value: $50
- Locations:all camps
Clicking on it will sharpen either a blunt machete or blunt cutlass from your inventory.
Currency
Gem

- Locations: ruins, hold (shipwreck)
Ten times more valuable than gold at normal prices. Unlike gold, gems require inventory space.
Gold coin
- Normal value: $100
- Locations: camps, jungle, beach
Being the currency of the island, gold coins are the only items to require no inventory space, and up to ten can be given to any player in the same location via the "Give" button. Clicking on a gold coin in one's inventory flips it and gives "heads" or "tails" as a result.
Charms and Amulets
Charms are automatically listed in your character profile, and may or may not give an advantage to gameplay. Examining one gives the message: "The [item] doesn't appear to actually do anything. Maybe just carrying it is sufficient if you believe in its power."

Poisonous snake

Broken knife (discarded)
