| − | + | An '''item''' is any object that is tangible, easily movable, and not a [[creature]]. Items can include [[stone|boulders]], [[bucket]]s, [[furniture]], [[weapon]]s, [[craft]]s, and other similar or even completely different objects. Most items can be stored in [[stockpile]]s via [[hauling]], and a subset can additionally be stored in various containers, such as [[bag]]s, [[bin]]s, or [[barrel]]s. Containers are, themselves, also items. | |
All items have a [[Item value|value]], item type, [[material]], and volume. From these, the [[weight]] of the item can be determined. Some items additionally have a [[Item quality|quality]]. Many items can participate in [[reaction]]s, and all but the raw materials and some animal extracts are the product of a reaction. | All items have a [[Item value|value]], item type, [[material]], and volume.

Items are also tangible in adventure mode, where they are picked up with the {{k|g}} key into either a free grasp or a [[backpack]] or other suitable container. All items can be thrown with the {{k|t}} key as well. An item that is not a proper weapon can still be used in combat; the misc. object user [[skill]] is trained by this activity. | Items are also tangible in adventure mode, where they are picked up with the {{k|g}} key into either a free grasp or a [[backpack]] or other suitable container.
