Item Identification is a skill used to identify the NPC value of items. It also once revealed the hidden magic properties of weapons and armor, but no longer does so as that information is no longer hidden from players and is visible simply by clicking any item. For these reasons, Item Identification is considered a Useless Skill and the few players who undertake this skill do so mainly for roleplaying purposes.
- Professional Title: Merchant
- Maximum Skill Possible: 100
- NPC Trainers: Gambler, Gypsy, Jeweler, Merchant Guildmaster, Miner Guildmaster
Lore
The battle with the evil lich was long and fierce, and now the rotting corpse lies at your feet, waiting for you to scavenge the gold and loot you fought for. Clutched in the lich’s grasp is a shining magical sword, but what magic lies within? Dare you grab it? With a skill in Item Identification, you can assess the sword and learn the power it embraces.
Active Use
To use Item Identification you can either set a Macro, take out the Skill Gump Icon, or press the blue button next to its name in the Skill Gump. Doing so will bring up a targetting cursor and a system message asking, "What do you wish to appraise and identify?"
Target the item you want to learn about. There are two possible outcomes:
- Failure - A message over your head says, "You have no idea how much that item might be worth."
- Success - A message over your head says, [Name of Item] "You guess the value of that item at: [amount in gold]"
Training
To train Item Identification, use the skill and target an item. Each item you target has a chance to gain.
- Item Identification has Anti-Macro Code in place. If you do not gain on an item, you can not gain on that item until a successful gain on different item.
History
- Identification Wands also used to reveal the magic properties of items.
- The following table shows the list of properties weapons had before the Age of Shadows expansion.
