View source for Category:Unrecognized Plurals

A plural is the text the game displays for an item in certain situations, for instance:
{{acquire|num=2|item=alpha-mail pants}}

This category lists items whose plural forms are not known.

The following methods can be used to determine the plural form of an item, by classification of item properties:
*Tradeable items:
**Buy 2 at once from [[The Mall of Loathing]]
**Have at least one in your inventory, then attempt to put more than you have into your Mall store
**Insert or remove 2 at once into/from your Clan Stash
**Receive 2 of the item at once via a single K-mail (from another player or from yourself)
**Example: nearly every item in the game
*Sellable items:
**Autosell 2 of the item at once
**Example: [[misshapen animal skeleton]]
*Spleen items (sometimes):
**Use one when your spleen is full. Only valid if the message begins with "Too many".
**Example: [[enchanted leopard-print barbell]]
*Equippable items (not from Mr. Store):
**Pulverize 2 of the item at once
**Example: [[Boss Bat britches]]
*Joke Items:
**Pull 2 of the item at once for free from Hagnk's Ancestral Mini-Storage
**Example: [[brick]]
*Items which can be made in bulk via recipes (meat paste, cooking, cocktailcrafting, supertinkering, etc.):
**Combine ingredients to create 2 of the item at once
**Example: [[badass belt]], [[grue egg omelette]]
*Items which can be combined using meat paste into a new item:
**Combine the ingredients into 2 of the result item, then untinker all of them at once
**Example: [[batskin belt]], [[dragonbone belt buckle]]
*Untradeable items in NPC stores:
**Buy 2 of the item at once
**Example: [[Medicinal Herb's medicinal herbs]], [[magical mystery juice]], [[Mr. Exploiter]]
*Any item:
**Get a non-combat adventure that drops 2 (or more) of the item in a single line
**Obtain two of the item at once by some other means
**Example: [[astronaut ice-cream]] (by stargazing 200 or more adventures before they were implemented)
*Any item which has been marked "public" (i.e. nearly every item):
**Let [[User:epeterso2|epeterso2]] look it up in his Display Case Database item table dump.

The following methods can '''not''' be used to determine the plural form of an item:
*Remove 2 or more of the item from [[Hagnk's Ancestral Mini-Storage]] as a non-free item pull
*Move 2 or more of the item between your [[Display Case]] and your inventory
*Move 2 or more of the item between [[Your Colossal Closet]] and your inventory


When inserting the plural form of an item into a metadata page, make sure it is capitalized '''exactly''' as you saw it in-game!

If an item's plural form cannot possibly be determined by normal means, set its plural form to an exclamation point ('''!''') in the metadata page - it will still be listed below, but underneath "!" to signify that it may be safely ignored.
