Redguard:Items

This page describes all of the items in Redguard, including descriptions given by Cyrus, J'ffer, and Gerrick. Each item has a corresponding ID, which can be used to add or remove it from your inventory with the console. Ingredients are different from the items listed here and can be found on their own page. They do not have item IDs.

To view an item in the inventory, press the View key (ALT by default). This will have Cyrus say something about it. You can rotate the item on its x and y axes with the movement keys (arrow keys), pan it on the screen by holding the Walk key (SHIFT) while pressing the movement keys, zoom it by holding the Jump key (SPACE) and either forward or back, and rotate it on its z axis with the Jump key again but rather the left and right keys.

You may be prompted to use an item in the world, which is done with the Use key (CTRL). If the item is not appropriate, Cyrus will say one of these lines:

"I can't use this by itself."

"I need to use this with something else"

"Probably need to find something to use it with."

"It doesn't do anything by itself."

None of the items in the game have parentheses. Those that do on this page are used for disambiguation.

Tools

These items enable gameplay mechanics that are mostly independent of any individual quest. Gerrick sells most of them and describes each item in his dialogue.

Unobtainable Items

Icon	Model	Item	ID	Description	Notes
		Ring of Invisibility	5	"It's a ring of invisibility. I better use its charges well."	Unobtainable Does not turn you invisible

Notes

• Falicia has dialogue to sell you the ring of invisibility for 500 gold and ectoplasm, Hist sap, Orc's blood, and spider's milk each for 5 gold, but they cannot be heard through normal means.

Falicia: "It will hide you from your enemies. Expensive though."

• There is an alternate ending to the description for 'Elven Artifacts vIII', but it is not used:

"One of the sections even has some sort of map notations in it. Maybe someone can help me translate these notations."

• An unused second description for Voa's ring exists:

"Archmage's Voa's ring. Brother Nidal says it should be used to remove the stasis field around Prince A'tor's body. I need to find somebody who knows how to use it."

Bugs

• Drinking a strength potion reduces the soul sword's damage to 20. This happens because both items change the same variable, but set it to a certain number instead of increasing it.
