Description

Item Identification is a skill used to Identify weapons and armor that has yet to be identified. The only other way to Identify unidentified items is to use an Item Identification Wand. Item Identification is rarely used and many see it as a useless skill since Item Identification wands are in abundance.

Usage

Using the Item Identification skill directly will give you a target reticle. Simply target the desired unidentified item and if successful it will reveal it's true properties.

Recommended Leveling

0-50: Buy from an NPC
50-100: Use the Item Identification skill directly on an item repeatedly. The item does not need to be unidentified to get skill gains.

Item Identification Wand

Magic Wands can have charges of Item Identification on them which, when equipped, can be cast on unidentified items to reveal their hidden properties. These wands have 100% success chance to identify the item, which will make these properties known to any other player. These wands are commonly found in Treasure Map Chests and Sunken Treasure Chests. They can occasionally be found on magic casting monsters as well.

Item Identification Scroll

This is a special container that identifies and sorts your unidentified weapons and armor.

An Item Identification Scroll can be used to identify all items from within a container. Simply double click an Item Identification Scroll and target a chest within your bag or locked down container in your home, this will then attempt to use your Item Identification Skill to identify one item in the container, if successful all unidentified items will become identified and the scroll will disappear along with 50 mana. If the Identification Skill fails to identify the item, then the scroll will remain and the mana will not be used. It is worth noting that having a low Item Identification Skill is suitable for use with these scrolls, as nothing is lost in the attempt to use them and the benefit of identifying 125 items at once may justify even 20 Skill points(20% chance to identify an item) on your particular build. Item Identification Scrolls can be crafted with the Inscription Skill after learning the crafting recipe, these require a Skill Scroll to create which may be good for any low importance skill Skill Scrolls you may have laying around.

The Identifying Sorting Shelf is powered by Item Identification Scrolls. One Item Identification Scrolls is one charge and is capable of up to identifying 125 items. The Identifying Sorting Shelf is purchasable with 4500 Donation Coins from Nadine the Exotic Item Donation Vendor located in front of the West Britain Bank.
