Item commands (Command Help)

During your travels in Arda you will come across many different items for different purposes. It is important to learn how you can work with them; the commands listed below are those used in relation to items:

• inventory - The main item-related command in game: displays the items that you carry or the contents of a container. Shortcut for inventory is "i".
• enc - Quick shortcut to display your current encumbrance.
• gold - A shortcut command for displaying only your gold.
• hands - A shortcut command for displaying only items held in your hands; this command can also be used to show in-hand items of another living being.
• get, take, put, drop, retrieve - The item movement commands. They let you move items from place to place, such as from the room you are in to yourself.
• wield, wear, remove, shift - Commands that let you actually use the weapons and armour you find.
• sheath, sling, store, draw, unhand - Commands that let you move your weapons and other items around your body, from containers such as baldrics to your hands and back.
• open, close, lock, unlock - Commands that manipulate containers; they can also be used with doors in rooms.
• eat, drink - These are rather obvious!
• light, ignite, extinguish - Commands that let you use light-emitting objects, such as torches or magic crystals.
• skin - One of the most-used golding commands: when you kill an animal, be sure to skin its corpse and sell the pelt for money!
• cook - Once skinned, animal corpses can be cooked to provide a decent meal to restore your hit points. However, you may also cook meat that came from other sources; furthermore, "cook" is also an interface for the cooking tradeskill for complex recipes.
• empty, fill - Commands that deal with "drink" objects.
• tag, untag - These commands let you mark items as unsellable, so that you do not accidentally leave them at the shop when you "sell all".
• throw - Lets you throw an item around, or at another living being. Throwing heavy items can cause considerable damage!
• brew - Interface for the alchemy tradeskill; lets you brew a potion from specified ingredients.
• poison - A command that lets you use the various dangerous substances you may come across.
• packtag - For use with mount containers (such as panniers) and wagons; this helpful command lets you sell contents of your "stationary" container without the hassle of going back and forth to the shop.
• itemsort - Sort autoloading items one at a time in your inventory.
