Items
In Brighter Shores, items are objects that can be taken by the player and placed into the backpack, toolbelt, Profession Equipment, or in the quest interface. Some of them may be used for further processing, while others may be consumed for benefits to the player or equipped to increase the character's combat stats.
Items can be received as drops from monsters and searchable scenery such as trunks. When coins are received, they are put automatically into the money pouch found in the toolbelt, while other drops appear on the ground for the player to take. Items can also be received from some non-player characters and scenery, or purchased from shops without being drops. Items can sometimes be placed into banks for storage and later retrieval.
Items dropped to the ground by the player have a despawn time of ten minutes. Dropped items never appear for other players. The maximum dropped items allowed is 100 items (regardless of tile or room), after which the earliest items will be deleted.
Items can have one or more actions in their action menu. On ground, they always just have the "Take" action, and when equipped the "Unequip" and "Info" actions. Selecting the "Info" action on an item opens its card, showing the item's name, image, a short description, and potentially graphics corresponding to the item's episode. The "Info" action always appears as the last action in backpack, toolbelt, and in the quest interface. Weapons and armor always have "Equip" as their first action which can be used to equip the item, provided that the player meets the requirements to do so.
