Items (MARDEK)

In the MARDEK series, Items are in-game objects that can be collected by the player. Most items have a purpose: they can be used to complete a Quest, to Craft a better item, to cure Status Effects or heal, and to advance the plot. They can also be sold at a shop for Gold, or equipped to increase Statistics and teach new Skills.

Different kinds of equipment usually occupy different places (e.g. a sword is usually held in the hand, and a helmet is usually placed over the head). The places that a piece of equipment might occupy are called equipment slots. There are six equipment slots in total, each of which can only contain a single item. They are: the Weapon slot, the Shield slot, the Helmet slot, the Armour slot, and two Accessory slots.

Items are divided into 28 types, based on their purpose and slots they can be equipped in. Due to arbitrary restrictions, certain playable characters cannot equip items of certain types.
