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.

Armor Wear Locations

Items can cover a single wear location or multiple wear locations.

Location Description Common worn items
Head This generally refers to a cap, helmet or crown-type of item worn over the back of the skull, top of the head, or forehead. Cap, Crown, Helmet, Halo

Feet There is one FEET location per pair of legs. Shoes, Boots, Sandals, Horseshoes
Floating Nearby This location is reserved for items that hover near the character Iouon Stones

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.

Damage Types

Also known as "Weapon Attack Types".

Damage Type Example Weapons Notes
Natural Claws, Teeth, Fingernails Weapons that do natural damage *might* allow unarmed combat skills to function.
Slashing Swords, knives, Axes
Piercing Darts, Arrows, Spears
Bashing Fists, Clubs, Hammers, Staffs
Burning Fire Burning weapons tend to do more damage to cloth and leather armors.
Bursting Magic, Explosions This is the damage type for magic-based attacks and spells.
Shooting Guns This is the damage type for projectiles, such as bullets.
Frosting Cold spells
Gassing Gas, Stinking Cloud
Melting Acid
Striking Electricity, Lightning Bolt

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

Container

Containers hold items. Containers that are held, like bags, or are intended to sit in a room, like bookshelves and chests, should be listed in this category. Sometimes armors that are worn in other locations, like backpacks and belts, can contain items as well, but those should be listed as armors. Drinks, while often encased in a container, are generally listed under the Consumables section.

Capacity

The capacity value of a container is the maximum weight of the container plus all of the contents of a container.

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.

  • All Mountables have a maximum capacity of how many mobs can sit at them (or climb them).
  • MOB weight does NOT count against the storage capacity of an item.
  • The capacity value of a container is the maximum weight of the container plus all of the contents of a container.

Carts and Wagons

Carts and Wagons are large, generally wheeled, objects that are meant to be moved from room to room. These can include things like wheelbarrows that are pushed to wagons that are drawn by horses.

  • If you have sufficient Strength, you can PUSH or PULL the cart from room to room.
  • In order to attach a wagon to a horse (or other mountable animal), use the command MOUNT CART HORSE.
    • In order to detach a wagon from a horse, use the command DISMOUNT WAGON.

Boats and Ships

Boats are mountables that float on water. Boats obey all of the general rules of mountables listed above.

  • In order to move from room to room in a boat, you use the normal movement commands. Boats may only be used in water rooms, shores and docks.

Ships are very large watercraft with very special rules.

For more information on either of these watercraft, see Ships.

Climbing aids

Ladders and other such items can be used as climbing aids. To use a ladder, DROP the ladder in a room in which you which to climb (up or down). Then, you may use the UP or DOWN command without invoking the climb skill.

Furniture

Furniture includes a large variety of items. Most of them allow you to sit on/at them, such as a desk or sofa. Some types of furniture are more decorative or functional. Note, some furniture, such as chests and bookshelves, fall under the Container category instead of the Mountable category.

Type Mountable Notes
Table SIT Allows you to take a seat.
Desk SIT Allows you to take a seat.
Bed SLEEP Allows for increased hit point, mana and movement regeneration while you sleep (above normal sleeping on the floor).
Stove NO Allows you to use the stove's flame for cooking and other skills. Once the stove is PUT OUT it cannot be relit.
Fountain NO Allows nearly unlimited water supply. Will dry up in a drought, but can be refilled.

Readable

There are many types of items in CoffeeMUD whose purpose is to store written information. Each one behaves a little differently.

Scroll

Scrolls are readables that store an ability, normally a spell, prayer or chant. In order to use a scroll, one must use the READ MAGIC spell.

Map

Maps are text-drawn pictures of areas, regions or some other directions. Maps can be auto generated with the mapmaking skill, or hand drawn.

Title

Titles are deeds of ownership for real estate or a ship.

Recipe

Recipes allow the holder to craft items recorded on them, if the user has the appropriate crafting skill. Each Recipe readable may only have recipes from one crafting skill. However, depending on the recipe readable, one or more recipes may be stored on it.

Dissertation

<Coming Soon>

Journal

A journal is an enumerated listing of posts that can be read and replied to.

Book

A book is similar to a journal, in that it has an enumerated list of items. Unlike a journal, books cannot be appended without special publishing skills.

  • All books have a Table of Contents.

Wand

Wands are special items primarily used by mages to cast spells that have been stored in the wand. Wands are held in the off-hand position, allowing the users to wield a one-handed weapon while having a wand equipped.

  • Each wand has a single spell stored in it at any given time.
  • In order to use the wand, the character must have the Wands skill and know the wand's codeword.
    • The character activates the wand by SAYing the command word, as well as a target.
    • For example, if the command word was ZAT, then SAY ZAT ORC would use the wand on the orc.
  • Wands can be recharged with the Recharge Wand spell.
  • Empty wands can be enchanted with the Enchant Wand spell.
    • Empty wands can be crafted with various crafting skills.
    • Wands can be emptied of their spells with the Disenchant Wand spell.

Staff

There are multiple variations of staffs in CoffeeMUD, just as there are multiple ways to spell staves. The simplest form of staffs are simple, two-handed, blunt weapons, and should be documented on the wiki as weapons. However...staves could be one-handed weapons, or, they could be magical weapons with charges to cast a stored spell from, similar to a Wand. This second form of staff should be categorized as a Staff instead of a weapon, although it serves both functions and still benefits from all of the skills and expertises of the weapon staff.

Instrument

Minstrels use music instruments to play their songs. Some songs require specific types of musical instruments, while others merely require that the minstrel has a musical instrument equipped.

Food

Drink

Potion

Perfume

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.

Mirror

Portal

Resource

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

Light Source

Lanterns, torches and other lights fall under this category. While it is certainly possible for other items to be light sources (such as magic swords), if the item's sole purpose is to provide light, then it probably belongs in this category. .
