	Using the RECOVER verb, players may attempt to find their dropped items with-in 90 days of dropping them, provided they are in the same room the lost item was originally dropped. It is not necessary to kill whatever creature caused the player to drop the item, though it is advisable to at least wait for the creature to move on.

Success is not guaranteed, but each attempt will be easier then the last until there is a 100% chance to find the item. Difficulty of finding a lost item is dependent on the manner it was lost.

		⚫	The success formula for {{boldmono\|RECOVER ITEM}} is primarily dependent on [[Perception]] and [[Intuition]], as well as the terrain and visibility of the room. [[Presence (402)]] provides a bonus. Every search attempt provides a stacking bonus, ensuring that repeated attempts will always eventually find the item.
