A character's inventory is comprised of what a character is wearing as well as the items in the containers worn by the character. The player of a character can see what their character has in their inventory by typing INVENTORY. Looking at another player will show what they are wearing, although individual items can be concealed or TUCKed. In addition, a character's entire inventory can be changed by a variety of items including a shimmer trinket.

Character Inventory Limits

Characters are limited to a combination of carrying and wearing 500 items. Once this limit is reached a character will not be able to pick another item up using the GET and GATHER verbs. Players who have found ways around the character item limit are at risk for corruption. Here is a list of items that interact in odd ways with the character item limit: special item count items.

Characters are also limited to how much they can wear based on location. Each wearable location has a limited number of item slots for both functional and non-functional items.

Inventory Slots


Alongside

The alongside (at feet) inventory slot uses PLACE FEET to put one item you are holding alongside you (at your feet). This frees up your hand while the item remains in your inventory. It does not put the item on the ground in the room, so it cannot be swiped by the janitor. Unlike the AllMine script, other characters cannot see the item when they LOOK at the room, but they can see the item below the character's inventory when they LOOK at the character. INVENTORY will show items in the alongside slot below the list of other items.

While this slot is limited to one item, it can be a container that's usable as if you were wearing it or holding it. Warriors and those casting Call Lightning (125) (at their own peril) may exceed this limit by destroying boxes placed alongside them, as the box contents will also be At Feet instead of spilled onto the ground.

By default, having an item placed alongside you will block you from moving rooms and using BERSERK, though you may DRAG an At Feet item in order to move with it. In addition, all teleportation methods will work, and At Feet items will travel with you.

The alongside slot does not reduce encumbrance or affect the 500-item limit, and it has no impact on disarm mechanics and the RECOVER system.

The leggings slot is in addition to two other existing leg slots (pants and leg greaves), and all three can be used simultaneously. Players do not need to remove pants and greaves before wearing leggings or vice versa. Only one leggings item can be worn at a time, but it can be functional. The leggings slot is currently restricted to these nouns: leggings, stockings, petticoat(s), underskirt(s), and hosen.
