ITEMS

Items vary drastically. Some are weapon types, such as bombs, deku sticks, and hookshots, which use up weapon skill point to learn. Non-weapon types, such as instruments, pictographs, and pearls, use up non-weapon skill points. All of these items require few points to be spent, and none of them go beyond Level 3. Actually, even characters that do not know how to use the item can use them. If it is a weapon type, before it is used, a die is rolled. If 4-6, it is a successful use. If not, the item has no effect. Non-weapon types can be used by anyone, but their skill at use them is very poor.

These seeds, when thrown, produce a blinding light. Deku Nuts are a common weapon of a warrior, as they affect the Evasiveness Score of an opponent by -3, which is very helpful. These items are easy to find, and is the fruit of many trees. The skull of a Deku Baba is also made of these (Deku Baba are found in the Southern Swamp and Termina Field). A common item in shops, as they are easy to find but useful. Deku can use these while in the air.

Deku Sticks are not found lieing around just anywhere. They make up the spine of a Deku Baba, and one must be defeated to get it. Because they are harder to get, they sell for more than Deku Nuts and usually come in smaller quantities. Deku Sticks are essentially a worse version of a spear. It has the same abilities of a spear, but after used once it is broken. It is much more useful as a torch. One with no Deku Stick experience can keep it lit for 5 minutes, 20 for a Level 1 user, and 45 for a Level 2 user. Also, a Level 2 user can use it two times before it breaks.

Bombs are powerful weapons, appearing circular and blue. They usually have a 7-second fuse, though the Bombmaker can alter this to different times. They are cheap to make, and usually come in bundles. A normal person can hold 10 bombs, but one with a bomb bag can hold 20. 25 of these can be made in one day (+5 per level).

Bomchus are a very advanced bomb, as it will go up walls until the fuse runs out of it comes in contact with an enemy. Making one is a bit difficult, however. A real Bombchu must be captured, and its tail and feet must be cut off, as well as a mask being placed on it to prevent unwanted explosions. Since these creatures are hard to catch, and with a rather steep construction cost (for bombs), Bombchus are more costly than normal bombs. 15 of these can be made in one day (+3 per level).

Yet another type of bomb is the Powder Keg, this being the most powerful. Powder Kegs can destroy walls, certain areas of rocks, or bring death to whoever it explodes upon. They are expensive to make, and require powder (crush rocks from Ikana Valley or the Mountains). 5 of these can be made in one day (+1 per level).

The Hookshot is key for assaulting walls for all races but the Goron. When one comes near, they can hookshot up to the wall, then fight. This can also be used for going up the cliffs in Ikana Valley. The Hookshot cannot be used just anywhere, however, only the places listed above and places built with being able to hookshot intentionally. 2 of these can be made in one day (+1 per level).

This is the normal Boomerang, made from wood. When someone tries to escape from battle, this can be used to stop them. Also, like Deku Nuts, this may lower the ES of someone in Combat. 2 of these can be made in one day (+1 per level), and require a Level 1 Woodworker.

Arrows do not need to be learned how to use, as anyone with a bow skill knows how to use them. They are very inexpensive, but finding the wood (either in Termina Field, the Northern Mountains, the Great Bay, or the Southern Swamp) is a bit time consuming. 30 of these cane be made in one day (+10 per level). 40 arrows can be carried in a standard quiver.

Arrows of either the Fire, Ice or Light elements require more time and money to make. These arrows cannot be used on regular bows, only Elemental Bows. If used on a normal bow, they will have a the same effect as a normal arrow. With the magic given, 10 Fire or Ice Arrows can be fired, or 4 Light Arrows. 15 of these can be made in one day (+5 per level). 20 elemental arrows can be carried in a standard quiver.

Instruments, either the Ocarina, Guitar, Deku Pipes, or Drums, are great skills to know. The songs that can be played are very comforting and sometimes have special effects. A Level 1 player is OK, a Level 2 player is very good, and Level 3 players are exceptionally good and can play songs that have magical effects. All of the instruments cost about the same to make, but require different materials. The Guitar requires fish bones, but none of the others need anything. A special instrument is Guru-Guru's Music Box, invented by the musician Guru-Guru. It is not especially popular, but can be played by any race. It costs 20 rupees to make, and is thus more expensive. The quality of the instrument depends on the Level of the maker. 1-2 of these can be made in one day, depending on the quality (+1 per level).

A Lens of Truth, when looked through, will reveal anything altered by the effects of magic (see Skills). Making one requires a piece of a Stone of Truth, which can be found most anywhere. These are very expensive to make and take an entire day to make 1 (+1 per level).

Bottles are empty containers that can hold things such as fish, bugs, potion, water, fairies, and other small creatures or liquids. They are easy and inexpensive to make, and thus are very helpful to have. 3 of these can be made in 1 day (+1 per level). A person can carry 3 bottles at a time.

There are three types of potion: green, red, and blue. Green potion refills magic to the max, red potion refills life to the max (cures of all Evasiveness penalties/wounds from Battle), and blue potion does both. Blue potion requires a magic mushroom to be made (found in the Southern Swamp), and only a Level 2 potion brewer can make them. 2 potions can be made per day (+1 per level).

Milk is a very useful organic drink. It provides the drinker with a +1 ES for ONE HOUR. This helps the drinker to gain an advantage over his opponent in a combat. Drinking one glass of Milk gives you a stronger immune system and tougher bones. Milk is loved by all the races as it reminds them of past times sucking on their mother's nipple. You must pump the cow for a half hour for one bucket. Four buckets a day can be supplied by one cow.

Chateau Romani is even more useful organic drink than MILK. It provides the drinker with a +2 ES for ONE HOUR. This gourmet drink leaves the person with a fairly free feeling about the world. However, they value their life more and thus they become stronger in a combat. A special time with the cow produces this milk and you must pump the cow for an hour to get one bucket worth. 2 buckets per day is all a cow can supply.

Cookies are a food that restores +10 to your magic meter. Those who wish to make it must wander Termina Field for a good amount of time picking their fresh ingredients. Cookies come in a dozen and must be baked for 30 minutes. Selling them fresh from the oven is a feeling that you only get from your memories of Grandma's special recipe.

After a grueling battle, one can eat an entree to regain their original ES. These entrees can be made to your taste and are very long to create. It takes one dish a half hour to prepare and then one hour to cook. Ingredients can be found wandering the Termina Field for one hour. The entree is a chef's pride and joy so be careful on how you treat the finished product.

Fairies are incredibly useful creatures. If killed in Battle or Combat, the holder of the fairy will be brought back to life. However, they will have a -2 ES penalty and +1 turn to reach the destination in battle. This remains until the character gets sufficient rest. Fairies are quite rare, but have been found everywhere. Up to two fairies can be carried at one time, no more.

The Pictograph Box is a very important item for reporters as well as hobbists, as they can take pictures. A normal Pictograph can store 1 picture, a Deluxe Pictograph can store 5, and a Pearl Pictograph can store 3. So, why would anyone want a Pearl Pictograph? Its more of a luxury item than a useful one, and it shows off the wealth of the owner. It costs 20 rupees to make a normal Pictograph, 30 a Deluxe, and 35 a Pearl. Because of this, Pictographs are very expensive items. Each take 2 days to make, with a Pearl taking 3 (-1 day per level).

Moon's Tears are very rare items that fall from the "eye" of the moon. They are worth a lot of money, and possibly even more when cut into gems to make rings, necklaces, earrings, bracelets. The shiny blue surface has amazed many for years, and it is a highly desired item. 1 item can be made or one Moon's Tear can be cut per day (+1 per level). Cutting is requied if an item is to be made.

Moon's Tears are very rare, but even though these gems aren't just found anywhere, they are the main item that a Gem Cutter will collect. They can be found by anyone, of course, but only when they are cut by a Gem Cutter are they worth a lot of money. Their green tint is not as attractive as the Moon Tear's forceful blue glow. 1 gem can be cut and made into an item per day (or two gems cut). Cutting is required if an item is to be made. +1 gem per level.

Coral items are popular among Zora, and some people of other races like them as well. This includes necklaces, bracelets, and more carved from coral. While they don't sell anywhere near as much as Moon's Tear jewels do, they can carry a decent price. 2 items can be made per day (+1 per level), which includes the crafting of the coral.

The fishing pole is basically a variation of a normal spear that can be equppied with a fishing line and can be used to catch fish. Basically, just a normal rod that can be used to pass the time. 2 of these can be made per day (+1 per level), and requires wood from anywhere in Termina. The more points spent on learning how to use the fishing pole, the better the fisher the user becomes. Any character can fish, but it is doubtful they will catch anything. A fisher can normally catch the number of his level in fish per hour.

Bomb Bags allow the holder to carry 20 bombs. To make these, the Bomb Maker must have the stomach of a Dodongo, found during the day in Termina Field (near the entrance to the Northern Mountains). Only those of Human or Goron Teaching can make these, and can only make 1 per day (+1 per level).

Larhe Quivers allow the holder to carry 80 normal arrows and 40 elemental arrows (both at the same time). This amount of arrows is huge and few will ever run out if they carry one of these. No materials are needed to make these, and 1 can be made per day (+1 per level).

Shields are very helpful items for warriors to have, as they can help them greatly by defending attacks in Combat. The Terminian Shield can be used by all humans, and isn't incredibly large. It appears similar to the Hero's Shield used by Link in Majora's Mask, though the colors are often different. 1 of these shields can be made per day (+1 per Level).

This small shield is used by the Deku. While too small for characters of other races, it provides decent protection for the Deku while still being light. It looks like the Deku Shield from Ocarina of Time, though the wood is found in the swamp instead of from the Deku Tree. 2 of these shields can be made per day (+1 per Level).

This large round shield is carried by many Goron warriors into battle. They are rather expensive, and it takes 1 day to make a single shield (+1 per Level).

This shield is made out of coral found on the floor of the Great Bay. 1 of these can be made per day, but they have a lower cost than most shields (+1 per Level).

This shield is very special as it goes beyond the normal limits of shields and will always add +1 to the user's Evasiveness Score. It requires, however, a skilled Shieldsmith (of Level 3 or higher) and not only costs 10 rupees and 4 days to constuct just one (-1 day per Level), but also an ample supply of silver from the beaver's dam.
