NAME
item attributes - information on the various attributes that
can be found on items through LORE or
IDENTIFY
DESCRIPTION
Amongst the thousands of objects you will encounter in Alyria,
be they weapons, armor or magical artifacts, there are a large
number of 'attributes' that determine the core nature of the item
in question, deciding in what ways it can be obtained and made
use of by a player. These are also called 'object flags' or
'item attributes', but they all reference the same things.
When you IDENTIFY or LORE an item, you will see something
similar to the following:
Item 'a phoenix feather quill' is type writing-instrument, alignment
500, made of organic, has keywords 'quill phoenix feather'.
This item weighs 0 stones and 4 pebbles, and is valued at 1,125 gp.
This level 45 item has the attributes: identified permanent wont-fuse
will-float no-steal
A phoenix feather quill is in excellent condition.
There are about 1 ounces of ink remaining.
*This item may be repaired 6 more times.
This quill has been crafted from a large, red, phoenix feather that
seems to flow through shades of red as if it were a flame. Despite
its fiery appearance, the feather is cool to the touch and is not
giving off any heat. The quill appears to have been enchanted to
provide an endless amount of red-tinted ink, for use in writing
letters and books.
In this example, the attributes of the item are identified as
"identified permanent wont-fuse will-float no-steal". Descriptions
of the ways each of these attributes modifies how the item is
used or obtained, are given below.
These attributes vary in occurrence, some being common to a large
number of objects, serving a generally useful purpose. Others
perform very specific functions and are unlikely to be
encountered very often.
These flags include:
ARENA-ONLY - The item can only be used in a Player-Killing
Arena (PK Arena)
ATM - This item can be used to access your default bank account.
When you are holding an item with this attribute, you will be
able to use the BANK command as if you were at the bank that
stored your default account.
BIND-ON-TAKE - This item will bind to whomever takes it the
first time and may not be worn by another character after
that point.

first time and may not be used by another character after
that point.
BIND-ON-WEAR - This item will bind to whomever wears it the
first time and may not be worn by another character after
that point.
BLESSED - Decreases the wear which items suffer through normal
usage and reduces the chance of damage through acid, fire and
ice based attacks and traps.
BURIED - As the name implies, this item is buried beneath
the ground and can be recovered through the use of the 'dig'
command. You most likely will not encounter this attribute
because it will disappear as soon as the item is dug up.
DONATION - This item is only available through use of Reward Units
(RU).
ENFORCE-LEVEL - Should the player holding this item not meet
the level requirement (the player must be at least the level
of the item or greater), it will disappear quickly.
EXPLODE-ARCHONS-ONLY - If this item detonates, it will harm Archons
only.
EXPLODE - Coupled with the 'thrown' flag, this item will
explode upon impact with an opponent.
HIDE-LONG-DESCR - This item doesn't show up if you LOOK in
a room.
IDENTIFIED - The item has been identified using LORE or the
IDENTIFY spell. This flag disappears if the item changes hands.
If you can see this attribute, you should be able to see all
others and any available information about the item.

ice based spells, weapons, and traps.

seen by those affected by 'detect invisibility'.

adjust its attributes based on the level of the character who

in Rune. If you have this attribute on an item, you may
use the LOCKER command.

skill.

MAIL system.

This attribute is considered a curse, although on some
valuable items it can be desirable. If coupled with the
NOUNCURSE attribute, this effect cannot be removed by the
player.
NOUNCURSE - This item cannot be removed from your inventory
in any way, death in a player-killing room of any kind will
also fail to remove the item. It must be combined with a
NOREMOVE or NODROP attribute to determine the nature of the
curse.
NPC-VANISH-DEATH - Upon the death of the NPC possessing this
item, it will disappear.
OWNER-ONLY - This item may only be used by the person that

to the new owner. If the item is dropped, hidden, or buried
in the world, the ownership status will last until a game
reboot, at which time it will reset.

If found on a magical reagent, for example, the reagent would
have an infinite lifespan and would not burn up when a spell
requiring that reagent was cast.
PHASED - This item will appear and disappear randomly from your

do have it will remain where they were.
SPIRIT - This item is only available whilst you are deceased.
SUSTAIN-LIFE - This item will prevent a player from becoming
hungry or thirsty for as long as it is worn. The player must
not be hungry or thirsty at the time of wearing the item or

to cease working until the bearer is no longer hungry or
thirsty.

possessing the 'throwing' proficiency.
TRANSPORT - This item can be used to assist a player in
movement about the world. See HELP TRAVEL.

to FEEDing and other vampiric attacks by players and other enemies.
