Items

Various items are scattered on the island. Some tend to be found more in huts and villages, and others are more likely to be found in the jungle.

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.)

Melee Weapons

Weapon Critical Hits

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."

Weapon Breaking

There is 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."

Miscellaneous Goods

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 are difficult to find in searches or from traders.

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