Gothic/Items

Weapons

For a list of weapons, see Gothic/Weapons.

Equip weapons in your inventory (default key: tab or backspace), by pressing use (default key: left control) and up. Usually it will put a sword/axe/mace in hotkey slot 1. Press 1 to access it for battle or your fight key (selects last used weapon).

Bows and Crossbows usually go into slot 2. They require ammunition to fire. (bolts for crossbows, arrows for bows) Bows and crossbows do not require the ammunition to be equipped and are used automatically if you have them.

Armor

For a list of armor, see Gothic/Armor.

Armor is equipped the same as weapons. You can get your first sets from either Fisk in the old camp or the templar at the gate to the sect camp. There is also a set for the new camp, it's over at the free mine (behind the new camp). There's a guy watching over the mine who will sell you a scraper's pants.

As you join a new guild and gain influence more armor will become available. Your first set will cost around 500 ore.

Magic

For a list of magic items, see Gothic/Magic.

Magic is equipped same as weapons and uses slots 4 and onwards. NPCs also recognise most magics as a weapon and will try to attack you if you walk around with it in cast mode too close to them. Spells like sleep however are fine.

Scrolls are 1-shot weapons, but Runes have unlimited use. Get your first rune from Cronos the water mage in the middle of the new camp for 500 ore.

Runes can only be used if you learn the circle of magic corresponding to it. The circles of magic are 6 named only by numbers, such as : 1st circle(enables the use the of rune "Light") to 6th circle(allows the use of Wave of death from Uruziel and permits access to being a necromancer).

Artifacts

For a list of artifacts, see Gothic/Artifacts.

Special equipment such as rings and amulets can be equipped to give bonuses to your stats (eg: +10 hp).

Food

For a list of food items, see Gothic/Food.

Use food just how you would equip a weapon to restore health or mana. Be sure to cook any raw meat in the pans in the camps to increase their qualities. There is also a cheat with the raw meat, so you may not want to cook it all.

Potions

For a list of potions, see Gothic/Potions.

Potions allow you to heal, recharge your mana, sprint and permanently boost stats.

Writings

For a list of writings, see Gothic/Writings.

Miscellaneous

For a list of miscellaneous items, see Gothic/Miscellaneous.

Most quest items go here and are unusable or just there for trading.
