Identify value

Jump to search
Some items in Arx Fatalis have an Identify value defined in their .asl files. If the player's ability to identify items (full_object_knowledge + full_mind) is lower than an item's Identify value, the said item will either have a different effect or no effect at all. Item prices may also be affected.
Identified item descriptions, effects, and prices are shown in bold:

Notes
- Wares almost always come pre-identified, but in case you come upon the same piece of equipment outside of a trader's chest, it won't get automatically recognised even if you purchased the identified item and compare it with your find.
- Items with the Indentify value of 15 don't have
ON IDENTIFY {}code blocks with identified stats, and have to always fall back to their ‘unidentified’ equipment boni defined in theirON INIT {}code fragments.- Items with ID value of 10000 can't be obtained by normal means, and don't have either the
ON IDENTIFY {}code or proper description.
- Items with ID value of 10000 can't be obtained by normal means, and don't have either the
- Temporary raising your Attributes with a Bless (
) spell to an acceptable value will help you identify an item or a stack of items if you hover the cursor over it with the spell active. However, same new items will remain unidentified unless your ability to recognise objects permits otherwise. Identified and unidentified potions do not stack. When pressing a potion hotkey, identified potions are drunk first. - By contrast, player's item recognition ability can be lowered past the bare minimum of 21 when afflicted with a Curse spell or through wearing a cursed item, so it's possible to fail to recognise a a bejeweled long-sword or a bejeweled dagger which get identified by default with their ID value of 20.
