Inventory concepts

Sorting

The inventory (as other containers) is made up for four columns. Clicking a column header will sort items by that column, clicking again will resort them in reverse order.

Name 
The name of the item.
QL 
The quality of the item, higher is better.
DMG 
The current damage of the item, lower is better.
Weight 
The weight of the item (including the weight of the contents for containers)

Activating

To activate an item, all you do is double-click the item you want to use. After the item is active, you can start doing actions that require that item. The item will also show up at the bottom of the inventory next to Active:

Note that equipping an item does not activate it, nor is it necessary to equip an item before you can activate it.

Equipping

To equip an item, drag it onto the body part you wish to equip it on. In some cases you might have to remove already equipped items, e.g. if you have something in your left hand and try to wield a two-handed weapon.

Equipping is for use with weapons, armor, and similar (see the body section). It has no relation to activating items.

Taking and dropping

Items can be moved around in several ways:

  • Some actions (like farming) produce items in your inventory, other actions (like making a stone wall) consume materials in your inventory.
  • Trading moves items between your inventory and another player's.
  • Drag and drop can be used to move items between containers and/or other windows (but at least one must your inventory)
  • Finally, many items can be picked up using the 'take' command, and dropped with the 'drop' command in the context menu.
