In the Dungeon, there are many different kinds of normal and magical '''items''' to be found and used. Some are good, others are bad. Some need to be [[Identification|identified]].

==Basic item types==
*[[File:Long sword1.png]] [[Weapon]]s

==Item classification==
The colour of an item in inventory enhances the item's description as follows:

*{{LightGrey|Grey}}: is otherwise unnotable
*{{DarkGrey|Dark Grey}}: is useless or unusable/melded
*{{White|White}}: is a [[randart]]
*{{LightCyan|Light Cyan}}: is an [[unrand]] or evocable that's not dangerous
*{{Blue|Blue}}: is an unidentified magical item (including: scrolls/potions/magical staves/jewellery, equipment with an [[enchant]]ment or [[ego]])
*{{Green|Green}}: has an enchantment and/or ego or is a magical staff
*{{Red|Red}}: is purely harmful, or discouraged by your god
*{{LightGreen|Bright Green}}: is uncursed and equipped
*{{LightRed|Bright Red}}: is cursed and equipped
*{{Yellow|Yellow}}: can help escape from or survive emergencies (teleport, healing, etc.)
*{{Cyan|Cyan}}: is rare and beneficial
*{{Magenta|Magenta}}: is dangerous to use but potentially useful
*{{LightMagenta|Light Magenta}}: is a Rune or the Orb of Zot

These colours can be changed with the [https://github.com/crawl/crawl/blob/master/crawl-ref/docs/options_guide.txt menu_colour] option.

==Properties==
Items are most often found on the ground. They can also be bought in a [[shop]], found equipped on monsters, generated when [[death drop|killing certain monsters]], granted by a [[scroll of acquirement]], or gifted by your [[god]].

You can pick up items on your tile with '''[[g]]''' and drop them with '''[[d]]'''. Picking up items takes 1 turn regardless of the amount of items picked up, dropping them takes 1 turn per item stack.

Items in your inventory cannot be destroyed or taken by external sources, with the sole exception of [[Maurice]]. If an item drops into [[lava]], or drops into [[deep water]] if you're not a naturally [[amphibious]] species (even if you're in an amphibious [[form]]), it is destroyed.

Potions/scrolls/wands/throwables of the same type will stack into the same inventory slot and cannot be separated. For all practical purposes, there is no stack limit.

All items except [[potion]]s and [[scroll]]s are either [[identified]] when stepping on its tile (equipment), or on sight (other items). Potions and scrolls can be identified if: consumed, starting with one, affected by a [[scroll of identify]], bought in a non-antique shop, found in certain special [[vault]]s, or through [[Ashenzari]].

[[Item usage|Valid monsters]] are allowed to use weapons, throwables, armour, jewellery, and wands. They can pick up items that have not been seen by the player; only [[Maurice]] can pick up seen items. Monsters will use wands and throwables without consuming charges or ammo, except for [[throwing net]]s.
