Items

Scattered about the island are a number of items that can be found. Some things tend to be found more in the camps and villages, other things are more likely to be found in the jungle.

Clicking on an Item in your inventory uses 1 AP. Generally, this attempts to use the item (such as the Sharpening Stone); otherwise, you get a message like: "Upon closer inspection, the knife appears to be a weapon."

Melee Weapons

Weapon Critical Hits:

I managed to get a lucky stab in with the cutlass and received the following blurb. This appears to be random across all weapons: Maybe it's luck or maybe it's skill, your attack is right on target and inflicts more damage than normal. You attack the elephant for 5 damage.

Similarly, you can get "lucky" and have your blade break, which causes you to lose your weapon: Unlucky or just clumsy? The blade snaps off and you're left holding the handle, which you discard.

Dagger

• Base damage: 1 point
• Base accuracy: 20%
• Locations: Ruins

A native knife. More accurate than a fist.

Knife

Blunt Machete

• Base damage: 1 point

• Locations: Villages, Jungle

Can be used to chop through jungle or for attacking animals and people. Doesn't always succeed in chopping the jungle. Using a sharpening stone, the blunt machete can be sharpened to become a machete.

Machete

• Base damage: 2 points
• Base accuracy: 20%
• Locations: Villages, Jungle

Rather useful for chopping through the jungle, and also for dealing more damage than just punching. "Machetes can become broken and useless during combat - try carrying a spare." --Wurzug 12:34, 5 April 2006 (BST)

Blunt Cutlass

• Base damage: 1 point

Cutlass

• Base damage: 2 points

Miscellaneous Trade Goods

Gold Coins

• Locations: Villages, Jungle, Beach

Well it's gold, perhaps if I find a boat and get off this island I can trade it! You can toss a coin in the air and see if it lands heads or tails.

Traders and Tamdals will trade for your gold coins (see Trading). For example, at an outsider trading hut:

• 1 gold coin buys 9 poison darts
• 1 gold coin buys 5 rifle bullets
• 1 gold coin buys 4 poisonous berries
• 1 gold coin buys 2 bottles of water, bottles of rum, bottles of beer, tasty berries, bananas, mangos, gourds of water, or sharpening stones
• 1 gold coin buys 1 machete, knife, dagger, piece of driftwood, blunt cutlass, or blunt machete
• 2 gold coins buys 1 cutlass, first aid kit, or dried herbs
• 3 gold coins buys 1 rifle, blowpipe, or GPS unit
• 10 gold coins buys 1 gem

Gem

• Locations: Ruins, Shipwreck's Hold

It's like a gold coin, only ten times more so. As some examples, at an outsider trading hut, 1 gem can be used to purchase: (if in stock!)

• 2 rifles
• 3 GPS units
• 4 first aid kits or dried herbs
• 7 cutlasses
• 9 machetes or gold coins
• 11 knives, daggers, or blunt cutlasses
• 13 pieces of driftwood or blunt machetes
• 24 fruits or drinks
• 99 poison darts (if you could carry them)

It is believed that 5 gems would buy a heavy sword, although it will never be in stock. (See Trading for more pricing info.)

You get the idea. They're good to have.

Piece of Driftwood

• Locations: Beach

With the implementation of signposts around May 1, 2006, pieces of driftwood are no longer useless. When you have 2 pieces of wood in your inventory, a button appears that allows you to construct a sign.

Sharpening Stone

• Locations: Villages

Used to sharpen blunt machetes and blunt cutlasses. Does a Sharpening Stone ever break or get used up?

Poisonous Snake

• Locations: Grasslands

I have no idea what this is for.

Crab

• Locations: Beach

Can't figure out how to use a crab.

GPS Unit

• Locations: Villages
• Used by: Outsiders (Natives require the Outsider Knowledge skill)

Shows the location of your character.

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.

Seems that signal is available only in non dense jungle areas.--Wcervantes 19:00, 16 February 2006 (GMT)
