Editing Items (section)

== How items work ==

Every item shares a small set of properties:

* '''Sell value''' — the amount of [[Amber]] the vendor pays per unit. Values climb steeply with tier: a Crimson Berry sells for 1, a Raw Gemstone for 120, and an endgame relic for thousands.
* '''Category''' — the broad group an item belongs to (see below). Categories drive how items are sorted in the [[Bank]] and which [[Skills]] produce them.
* '''Description''' — flavour text, often hinting at where an item is found or what it is used for.

Some items carry extra properties that unlock special uses:

* '''Heal''' — restores health when auto-eaten during Hunting. See [[Food]].
* '''Equip''' — grants attack and/or defense in an [[Equipment]] slot when worn.
* '''Potion''' — grants a timed buff when drunk. See [[Tonics]].
* '''Salve''' — instantly heals injured tamed creatures. See [[Tonics]].
* '''Dino gear''' — saddles and bardings equipped to tamed creatures. See [[Dino Gear]].

There is no numeric rarity stat, but items form clear '''tiers''': within each skill the yield tree runs from cheap starter materials up to rare, high-value endgame goods. A handful of items are flagged in their descriptions as '''exclusive''' — never craftable or sold, only obtained from a specific source (for example the Ancient Amber Pendant from the [[Shop]], or drop-only [[Relics]], [[Artifacts]] and set pieces).
