 Defeated creatures often drop various **Items** onto the ground when slain. If you can see an item, and are the one who slew its former owner, then you can pick it up by pressing **Space**. Your character will pick up the nearest available item, but you'll have to keep pressing space if you're amidst a pile of loot. Defeated creatures often drop various **Items** onto the ground when slain.

 Except for **Gold**, which is added directly to your character'​s cash total, all items will take up space in your **Inventory**,​ which you can check by pressing **I**. Each different item you find takes up an additional inventory space, and you begin with only 25 inventory spaces. So you'll want to equip additional **Bags** pretty soon, which can be purchased from clothing dealers throughout the Land. You can equip two additional bags, which each add another 25 slots to your inventory. Some bags even enhance your character, but these are rare and precious. Except for **Gold**, which is added directly to your character'​s cash total, all items will take up space in your **Inventory**,​ which you can check by pressing **I**.

-Even the most basic **Weapon** will increase your kung fu damage when equipped.

Techniques for unarmed combat inflict more damage when you wear gloves ​(which function like weapons). But to equip a weapon properly, you will need to meet its **Prerequisite** values for level, Strength, and Dexterity. You can equip weapons when you don't meet the prerequisite,​ but the item won't be as effective as it would be in the hands of a qualified wielder, and its **Durability** will decrease rapidly.+Even the most basic **Weapon** will increase your kung fu damage when equipped.

-**Clothing** can turn aside a deadly blow and steady your wrist enough to turn the occasional miss into a hit. Kung fu requires too much fluidity and freedom of motion for heavy armor to be viable, but various useful shirts, pants, wristbands, hats, and shoes can all be found, and are vital to your survival.
