Items

On Alora, items refer to physical objects that may be found on the ground, in a player's inventory, equipment slots, or bank . They may also be found in shops. Each has a unique id, a name, and a set of graphics. However, only the names and graphics are visible to players normally.

• ID - Each different type of item has a unique id that identifies it. These are different from the items name, as multiple items may have the same name (e.g. burnt fish), but not the same id. These ids are found in the game's cache, and are often used in configuration of the Runelite client's plugins.
• Graphics - depending on how the item can be interacted with, there are several different types of graphics. The most common of these are:
  • When an item is on the ground, it will be seen in 3D. These are able to be clicked, and will result in an action depending on the context of the click and preceding actions.
  • When an item is in a player's inventory, it will be shown in 2D. These are rendered from a viewpoint of the same 3D model as when on the ground, though the size, angle, and lighting may differ.
  • When an item is equipped to a player, it will be shown in 3D. This tends to be a more detailed representation of the item than is found on the ground or in the inventory or trading screens, and may also have a level of animation.
  • When an item is being interacted with, it may be shown in the chat box. These are highly detailed versions of the items, and will appear larger than when on the ground or in a player's inventory.
• Name - Most items have a unique name. Those with similar names are often related and serve similar purposes, such as different doses of the same potion.

Interactions

Each item has various ways with which it can be interacted. Most commonly, items on the ground and in the inventory have a right-click menu of options which a player can select from. Further interactions can be selected depending on the way in which the item is used.
