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.

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.

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.

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.
