Category:Items

Items are objects that can be held in the player's inventory. They all have an Inventory icon, a 3D object to represent it in the world, weight and value, but each type of item has additional data attached to it.

There are two notable exceptions; Leveled Items and Potions. Leveled Items are discussed in the section on Leveled Lists. Potions are also items that can be held in the player's inventory, but they are located in the Magic group instead of the Items group.

Fields Common to Most Items

• ID: The object name. Cannot include any spaces or special characters. Must be unique in the set of all IDs for all object types.
• Name: Display name.
• Weight: Weight of the object, in ounces.
• Value: Base price for buy and selling the object.
• Quest Item: If checked, the item cannot be dropped by the player. It's weight is ignored.

Reference Fields

These fields are common to all item references. They apply to potions as well.

• Ownership Tab: Indicates the owner or faction owner of the reference. This data supercedes the ownership of the cell.
• Extra Tab:

   Count: the number of items represented by the physical reference.
   Health: Current health of the item. Default is the health shown for the object.
   Charge: Current enchantment charge for the item. Default is the enchantment shown for the object.
   Time Left: Not used. However, according to the Reference page, this is used by torches to track the amount of time remaining for the torch to burn. 
   Soul: The current soul size filling the soul gem reference.
