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

You can carry 71 items in your inventory. Rifles and blowpipes take 2 inventory spaces per weapon, 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 the Sharpening Stone); otherwise, you get a message like: "Upon closer inspection, the knife appears to be a weapon."

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."

  • Base damage: 1 point
  • Base accuracy: 10%

The default melee weapon. Requires no inventory space, and never breaks.

Blunt Machete

Rather useful for chopping through the jungle, and also for dealing more damage than just punching. Functionally identical to a machete, but worth 20% more when trading.

Blunt Cutlass

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

GPS Unit

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.
