Items

Various items are scattered on the island. All items can be found by searching in the appropriate place; 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.

You can carry 71 items in your inventory. Each rifle and blowpipe takes 2 inventory spaces, while gold coins don't take up any inventory space. All other items take 1 space.

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

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.

Healing

Consumable

Using a restorative item takes 1 AP and consumes the item (removing it from your inventory).

Application

Fruits and drinks can only be used on yourself. The First Aid Kit and Healing Herbs are unique in that they can also be used to heal animals and other characters (including NPC traders and shamans).

Miscellaneous Items

GPS Unit

• Trade value: $250
• Locations: Outsider camps, Outsider medical huts
• Used by: Outsiders (Natives require the Outsider Knowledge skill)

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.

GPS units can be found lying on the ground in an outsider village, but they are most prevalent in the Outsider Medical Huts (about 1 GPS per 50 AP searching). GPS units have also been up for trade in all three outsider Trading Huts, although they are high demand items for new characters.

Gold Coin

• Trade 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.

Gem

• Trade value: $1000
• Locations: Ruins, Shipwreck's Hold

Worth ten times as much as a gold coin when trading. Unlike gold, gems require inventory space.

Piece of Driftwood

• Trade value: $70
• Locations: Beach

A signpost can be constructed out of two pieces of driftwood.

Sharpening Stone

• Trade value: $50
• Locations: Camps

Used to sharpen blunt machetes and blunt cutlasses. Click on your sharpening stone (not on a blunt weapon) to sharpen a weapon.

Poisonous Snake

• Trade value: $5
• Locations: Grasslands

Useless to everyone but traders, to whom they are only almost useless.

Crab

• Trade value: $50
• Locations: Beach

Useless but somewhat valuable nonetheless.
