An '''item''' is any object that is tangible, easily movable, and not a [[creature]]. Items can include [[stone|boulders]], [[bucket]]s, [[furniture]], [[weapon]]s, [[craft]]s, and other similar or even completely different objects. Most items can be stored in [[stockpile]]s via [[hauling]], and a subset can additionally be stored in various containers, such as [[bag]]s, [[bin]]s, or [[barrel]]s. Containers are, themselves, also items. | An '''item''' is any object that is tangible, easily movable, and not a [[creature]].

All items have a [[Item value|value]], item type, [[material]], and volume. From these, the [[weight]] of the item can be determined. Some items additionally have a [[Item quality|quality]]. Many items can participate in [[reaction]]s, and all but the raw materials and some animal extracts are the product of a reaction. | All items have a [[Item value|value]], item type, [[material]], and volume.

− | + | Items differ from contaminants in that they are not bound to a tile; an item can be stored on the ground, in a creature's inventory, in a container, in a workshop, [[cabinet]], or [[chest]], or even as a building material for [[building]]s and even [[construction]]s. Because of the multitude of methods in which items can be used, the only methods of destroying them is by waiting for [[rot]], consuming them (either through ingestion or through a reaction), [[wear]]ing them out, [[fire|burning]] them, moving them off-screen, or using a [[dwarven atom smasher]]. | |
− | + | [[Caravan]]s will bring items to trade, and [[thief|thieves]] will steal items. Using fluids or dumping into the pits [[hell|deep down]] are the only other methods of moving items off-screen. | |

− | + | Items are also tangible in [[adventure mode]], where they are picked up with the {{k|g}} key into either a free grasp or a [[backpack]] or other suitable container. All items can be thrown with the {{k|t}} key as well. An item that is not a proper weapon can still be used in combat; the misc. object user [[skill]] is trained by this activity. | |
