This page gives an explanation about important items. You can view the complete list off all items on the Stendhal server website.

TODO: Rework this page completely as in the style of StendhalBestiary

SPOILER WARNING!

Do not read further if you prefer true brave role playing and want to find out about the items all by yourself...

Introduction

There are so many items in Stendhal that it is beyond the scope of this page to list them all, but if you want to read more or learn about a specific item, the best place to go is the server website items page.

This page simply gives a general introduction to some categories of items. Stendhal items include things like armor, food, potions and resources. (A list with statistics can be useful to know the items that populate Stendhal and their strengths.)

Since Stendhal 0.75 some items have a minimum required player level, which makes the item less effective for players below the level reuired by the item.

Armor

You can equip your player with helmet(<item>leather helmet</item>), leg(<item>chain legs</item>), shield(<item>studded shield</item>), boots(<item>chain boots</item>), cloak(<item>cloak</item>) and armor(<item>scale armor</item>). The most important one is the shield since its effect for protection is the highest. The second most important is armor for the corps.

The stronger you will grow the more armor you will find in the corps of killed monster, or you get it as a quest reward.

Weapons

They are used to attack your enemies. You can use all kinds of weapons. There are weapons for dogfight like clubs(<item>club</item>), axes(<item>axe</item>), swords(<item>short sword</item>) and for ranged combat such as bows(<item>wooden bow</item>) and (<item>wooden arrow</item>).

All Weapons have two attributes: Atk & Rate. Atk has influence in the damage the weapon can cause. The higher the Atk the more damage can be expected. The Rate describes the frequency at which this weapon can be used. The lower the Rate the higher the frequency of your attack.

Some weapon such as <item>chaos sword</item> have also a lifesteal attribute. When you hit a monster you can gain that percentage of the damage as health.

Food

Food can be used to heal your character. The first you will find in the corps of killed monster is <item>cheese</item>. Just click on the food and use it.

You can find all kinds of food in Stendhal like <item>button mushroom</item> growing on the ground or <item>sandwich</item> which can be baked in the bakery.

Potions

<item>minor potion|Potions</item> can be bought from <npc>Carmen</npc> in semos or <npc>Dr. Feelgood</npc> west of Ados they are also droped by some creaures like <creature>gnome|gnomes</creature>, <item>greater potion|strong potions</item> are droped by larger creatures like the <creature>green dragon|green dragon</creature>,

Scrolls

Scrolls such as <item>home scroll</item> are used to get to famous places very quick. There are town scrolls for each town (<item>ados city scroll</item>, <item>fado city scroll</item>,...). You can find them in the loot of corpes or buy them at some npc's (<npc>Haizen</npc>,...).

Furtheremore you can get <item>empty scroll</item>'s, which can be marked to any place in Faiumoni. The player who owns this <item>marked scroll</item> can come back to this position at any time.

Refactoring

Check the refactoring page if you want to know about some changes proposed for future releases.

If you plan to edit this page or you want to help us editing items please have a look at Creature XML Editor.

Note: To be sure you are running the latest version run update.bat

If you modify the creatures and think it is good, send us the files:

• creatures.xml if you modified a creature
• items.xml if you modified an item
• the GFX for the creature or item.
  Be sure to scale it to proper size using scale2x
