	Since v0.36.58 most crafted armour and shields need a '''biome armour material''' on top of the usual Hide, Bone or ingots. Each one drops from its biome's [[Hunting\|hunts]] — and more slowly from that biome's [[Expeditions\|patrol]] — so a crafted piece is now tied to a '''place''': you cannot forge an Iron Helm without first hunting the [[~~Coral Shallows~~]] for ~~Reefshell~~.		Since v0.36.58 (re-anchored v0.54.9) most crafted armour and shields need a '''biome armour material''' on top of the usual Hide, Bone or ingots.

New page

'''Items''' are every object you can gather, craft, cook, brew, loot, or equip in [[Primal Idle]]. Everything you collect is stored in the [[Bank]], and almost every item can be sold to the vendor for '''[[Amber]]''' — the game's universal currency.

This page is a hub: it explains the item '''categories''', how items are '''obtained''' and '''used''', and links to the detailed sub-pages. It does not list every single item — the specialised pages ([[Equipment]], [[Food]], [[Tonics]], [[Fossils]], and so on) cover individual entries in full.

== 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).

== Obtaining items ==

Items enter your [[Bank]] through several channels:

* '''Gathering [[Skills]]''' — Foraging, Logging, Mining and Fishing pull raw materials straight from the world.
* '''Production [[Skills]]''' — [[Cooking]], [[Crafting]], [[Smithing]] and [[Alchemy]] consume raw materials to produce foods, gear and consumables.
* '''[[Farm]]ing''' — crop plots turn seeds into produce used as worker feed, heal food and vendor stock.
* '''Hunting and Taming''' — fighting wild creatures yields meat, hide, bone and rare [[Trophies]].
* '''Expeditions, caves and digs''' — biome patrols, cave delves and excavation sites drop relics, unique gear, gems, [[Fossils]] and [[Artifacts]].
* '''The [[Shop]] and exchanges''' — the Amber Exchange, Mark Exchange and Contract Board sell or reward a few items that drop nowhere else.

== Using items ==

* '''Sell for [[Amber]]''' — every item has a sell value; surplus and duplicate drops keep the economy flowing.
* '''Craft inputs''' — raw materials feed the production skills.
* '''Equip''' — [[Equipment]] (weapons, armour, shields, trinkets) and [[Dino Gear]] boost your and your creatures' combat and work output; full [[Sets]] add extra bonuses.
* '''Consume''' — [[Food]] heals in combat, [[Tonics]] grant timed buffs, tranquilizers gate Taming, and salves mend injured creatures.
* '''Keys and tribute''' — some items are consumed to unlock content: dig maps start digs, [[Artifacts]] pay Arena tribute, and tranquilizers enable Taming.
* '''Collections''' — [[Fossils]] and species skulls are handed in to build the [[Museum]].
