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.

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.
Trader Harry, in York, will trade for gold coins (April 12-26):
- 1 gold coin buys 5 rifle bullets
- 1 gold coin buys 2 bottles of water
- 2 gold coins buys 1 cutlass.
- 3 gold coins buys 1 rifle.
Gem
- Locations: Ruins, Shipwreck's Hold
It's like a gold coin, only ten times more so.
Trader Harry, in York, will give you (April 12-26), for 1 gem (each):
- 2 rifles
- 4 first aid kits (if he had them)
- 7 cutlasses (if he had them)
- 9 gold coins
- 60 rifle bullets (if he had them)
- and 5 gems would buy a heavy sword (he'll never have one)
You get the idea. They're good to have.
Piece of Driftwood
- Locations: Beach
The driftwood looks pretty useless, except to Traders and collectors.
Sharpening Stone
- Locations: Villages
Used to sharpen blunt machetes and blunt cutlasses. Does a Sharpening Stone ever break or get used up?
Poisonous Snake

I have no idea what this is for.
Crab

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)
