#REDIRECT [[Item designations]]
Some items have characters surrounding the name, which is a way to determine certain properties at a glance.
 
 
 
== Quality ==
 
 
 
'''Sword''' Ordinary
 
 
 
'''-Sword-''' [[Item quality|Well-crafted]] ''(dashes/hypens)''
 
 
 
'''+Sword+''' [[Item quality|Finely-crafted]] ''(plus signs/addition signs)''
 
 
 
'''*Sword*''' [[Item quality|Superior quality]] ''(asterisks/stars)''
 
 
 
'''≡Sword≡''' [[Item quality|Exceptional]] ''(equivalents/triple equal signs)''
 
 
 
☼'''Sword'''☼ [[Item quality|A masterpiece]] ''(stars/open stars/circle stars)''
 
 
 
See [[Item quality]] for a full explanation of how better qualities improve [[value]] and [[weapon|combat modifiers]].
 
 
 
== Improvement / Decoration ==
 
 
 
'''«Sword»''' Improved or [[Decoration|decorated]] ''(much-less-than and much-greater-than signs/double less-than or greater than signs)''
 
 
 
Decoration can have a quality modifier themselves, leading to combinations such as:
 
 
 
'''*«Sword»*''' Superior improvement/decoration
 
 
 
'''≡«+Sword+»≡''' Exceptional improvement/decoration on a finely-crafted object
 
 
 
'''*«≡Sword≡»*''' Exceptional sword with superior decoration
 
 
 
These quality modifiers can be hidden in [[init.txt]] with [SHOW_IMP_QUALITY:NO].
 
 
 
== Wear ==
 
 
 
'''xSwordx''' ''Showing some [[wear]]'' - worth {{frac|3|4}} ''(surrounded by x's)''
 
 
 
'''XSwordX''' ''Heavily worn'' or ''threadbare'' - worth {{frac|1|2}} ''(surrounded by capital X's)''
 
 
 
'''XXSwordXX''' ''In tatters'' or ''mangled'' - worth {{frac|1|4}} ''(surrounded by double capital XX's)''
 
 
 
== Provenance / Ownership ==
 
 
 
'''(Sword)''' Not produced on-site (imported by traders or looted from raiders), does not count towards [[Created wealth|Created Wealth]]. ''(parentheses)''
 
 
 
'''{Sword}''' Unclaimed/[[Forbid|Forbidden]] ''(braces)''
 
 
 
'''$Sword$''' Owned by someone else. Only appears in adventure mode. ''(dollar signs)''
 
 
 
== Other ==
 
 
 
'''‼Sword‼''' On [[fire]] ''(double exclamation points)''
 
 
 
'''◀Sword►''' Magical (magic is not yet implemented) ''(forward and backward triangles)''
 
 
 
 
 
==Trivia==
 
The longest possible item designation is '''‼{(XX≡«+Sword+»≡XX)}‼''', which designates (reading from the front) that it's on fire ( '''‼''' ), forbidden ( { ),  imported ( ( ),  in tatters ( '''XX''' ), exceptionally ( ≡ ) decorated ( « ), and of fine quality (+  ).
