What the values mean

Weight, buy value and sell value are the item’s base values from PC build 25129649. A listed buy value does not mean a particular merchant stocks the item. Shop prices and the values you see in your game can change with the applicable modifiers.

Not listed means the value is unavailable. It does not mean zero, weightless or impossible to sell. Items with no listed value appear after known values when sorting by weight or sell value.

Consumable effects keep their stated strength and duration. A strength such as medium is not a known numeric bonus; a duration in time segments is not a number of real-world seconds.

Why some items have more than one version

A name can belong to different versions of an item. Dried Herbs, Tatzelwurm Gland and Shovel each include a quest version as well as an ordinary inventory version. The versions are listed separately when their use or values differ.

Match the version in your inventory before comparing values. A quest item’s missing price cannot be filled with the price of its ordinary version. Different letter copies and quest stages are not upgrade tiers.

Turn an item into your next step

Use the crafting guide for recipe quantities and carry limits, or the skill book guide to find a teacher and check rank requirements. The Murohn Blood and saint relic guides explain their specific uses and routes.

Weapons, armour and wearable accessories have their own comparison directories. An item listed here may identify a quest object rather than the piece you can equip.

Keep the named item version in view when following a quest or crafting link. A guide supplies the route or decision, while this directory remains the place to identify the inventory object and compare its listed use.

Open Uses & details for key destinations, quest uses and the clues contained in books and letters. Related entries connect a document to its companion reading, people, quests and mapped places. Readable-item summaries describe the text’s story; folklore and historical medical writing do not add usable crafting recipes.
