PURPOSE OF ITEMS

Weapons are used to fight other pirates on land and sea. Some of them unlock the possibility of ranged attack - then in most cases they need ammunition to operate (exception: slingshot). You can read more about combat and the effect of items on combat in section: Battle - Fighting in the Battle Arena Mode (MOBA) & Combat in Strategic Map Mode

Tools unlock or speed up the performance of various actions. For example, the axe makes it possible to cut down trees, which is not possible if the player doesn't have an item unlocking this skill. A hoe, on the other hand, significantly speeds up tilling a field, although the player can also do this (very slowly) when he doesn't have any tool dedicated to this activity. You can read more about the effect of items on the player's economy in the section: Raw Materials - Ways to use Raw Materials, Multiple Processing of Raw Materials & Trade in Raw Materials

The player has the ability to create some items from raw materials available in the game. Player-created items have the same properties as items from the NFT Item Collection, however, they have lower efficiency. The process of creating items is described in the section: Crafting and Upgrading Items

Gems are used to upgrade items, or they can be used to demonstrate a player's wealth and high social status on a private island. The process of upgrading items with gems is described in the section: Gems. The use of gems for magical purposes is another option. This process is described in section: Role of Gems in Magic

Appearance-changing items affect the visual representation of the player in Arrland's three-dimensional environment. They do not affect the gameplay, but they allow the player to better express his character, and to identify more with the Pirate.

Valuables and orders are items that affect the amount of the $RUM token accrual.

The special items have various uses and functionality in different sections of the game. For example, a telescope, which in the Battle Arena mode affects the accuracy of cannon firing, in the World Map mode affects the detection range of ships, as well as the accuracy of guided fire.

Some items have more than one use. An axe, for example, serves both as a weapon for battle and as a tool. For more information about the purpose of items, along with the exact coefficients describing them, see: Appendix: Number and Type of Visual Items of Pirates
