Item Types

CoffeeMUD supports a large variety of item types, with each item type having some common features.

Armor

Armor is anything that is worn by a MOB or player as a type of clothing or protection. It includes clothing, jewelry, backpacks, iouon stones, and pretty much anything equipped with a WEAR command except weapons and, in some cases, held items.

Some armors can also contain items of particular types. For example, a belt may allow a character to sheath weapons in it. Bracers and boots sometimes allow dagger-class weapons to be stored in them.

Weapon

A weapon is equipped in the WEILD position, and normally improves the amount of damage you do in combat.

• Weapons normally require only one hand to use, but larger weapons require two hands (your WIELD and HELD equipment positions). Some skills allow characters to also use additional weapons equipped in the HELD position (such as two-weapon fighting).
• Weapons have varying weapon classifications (Weapon Types), and varying damage types.

Ammunition

Ranged weapons require ammunition in order to use the weapon. The ammunition must be LOADed into the weapon. And while it may be confusing, some weapons share the name with some ammunitions, but ammunitions normally come in a cluster, pack, or other unit of quantity. For example, a Javelin can be a thrown weapon, but a Pack of 5 Javelins are ammunition for an Atlatl. One cannot remove one of the ammunition Javelins and use it as a weapon...it is only an ammunition.

Ammunition Type	Sample Weapons
Arrow	Bow, Long Bow, Short Bow
Bolt	Crossbow, Heavy Crossbow
Bullets	Slings, Staff Slings, Hopaks
Darts	Blowguns, Hand Crossbows
Javelins	Atlatl, Spear Launchers

Mountable

Mountable items are often used for transporting heavy goods, or reducing the movement cost for travel. Animals that can be mounted are not mountable items, they are mountable MOBs.

Other

Cage

Cages are used to contain MOBs (but not Player MOBs). They require the cage skill to use properly, and the MOB must be immobilized to be successfully caged.

Key

Keys are used to open locks. Each key works on a specific set of locks.

Resource

Resources are material components used for crafting. They often are found with gathering skills. .
