Item names should be short and enough to identify the item, but in spoken and written English there may be some extra words associated with saying the item. For example, Carmen should offer to sell ''100 bottles of potion'' not ''100 potion''. (Add npc text example here?) |

===Dropped by creature=== |
||
You can have a creature drop your newly made item. This is done by editing that creature in its XML file, found in the file location [http://arianne.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/arianne/data/conf/creatures?view=markup projects/stendhal/data/conf/creatures]. Every creature in the game is located in this folder, categorized by creature type. For example, rats can be found in the file [http://arianne.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/arianne/data/conf/creatures/animal.xml?view=markup projects/stendhal/data/conf/creatures/animal.xml]. |

Creatures can drop items, see [[HowToAddCreaturesStendhal]]. |

===Add to map or grower=== |

You may wish to add items to a map (for player to pick up or harvest). You can either add to zone by creating a java file (good for one - off items like the poison and scroll of Haizen's table in his hut) or add using tiled which is more work initially but allows you to add to the objects layer in tiled again and again in future. (Good for iron ore to collect from the ground, herbs etc). This needs a whole tutorial on spawners (also knows as growers), please see [[HowToAddGrowers]]. |

If the NPC is not already created, you can [[Stendhal NPC Coding|code a new NPC]]. Then you will need to add a seller behaviour to your NPC, which should be covered separately. Until that is done, look at Seller examples such as Margaret in Semos Tavern in your source code. The file is [http://arianne.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/arianne/stendhal/src/games/stendhal/server/maps/semos/tavern/BarMaidNPC.java?view=markup src/games/stendhal/server/maps/semos/tavern/BarMaidNPC.java]. If you have any problems with the NPC understanding the item name, you might like to check [[How to test NPC Parser]]. |

Perhaps you will want your NPC to equip the player with an item as part of a quest, see [[HowToCreateQuests]]. You can also add your items to either the [[StendhalQuest#Daily_Item_Quest|Daily Item quest]] or the [[StendhalQuest#Kirdneh_Museum_needs_help.21|Weekly item quest]], which are related to the appearance around the world (e.g. rare item?). |
