The following is a description of the various item types in the Kingdom of Loathing.

==Consumables==
There are three types of consumable items: food and drink, booze, and miscellaneous.

===Food and Drink===
These are items you eat (or possibly drink) to gain more [[Adventures]]. Each food and drink item has an associated [[Fullness]] level; you will not be able to exceed your maximum Fullness level (usually 15). Liquid food items are termed beverages, and function in the same way as solid food.

===Booze===
Booze is alcoholic liquid, distinct from beverages. Drinking booze also gains you more Adventures. Each booze item has an associated [[Drunkenness]] level. Unlike food, you are able to exceed your maximum Drunkenness level, but not drink while falling-down drunk.

==Equipment==

===Hats===
Hats are things you wear on your head, usually on top of it. All hats have a power rating, which determines how well they protect you from damage. Most hats have a minimum [[Moxie]] requirement to be equipped.

See [[Hats]]

===Back===
Back items help provide additional protection. The Back slot takes the place of the Container slot, and mostly covers backpacks, capes, shawls, and various shells.

See [[Back Items]]

===Shirts===
Shirts are used to cover your torso. Most Adventurers aren't even aware they ''have'' a torso, so you need the skill [[Torso Awaregness]] to be able to equip shirts.

See [[Shirts]]

===Weapons===
Weapons are what you use to hit your enemies. Weapons have a power rating determining their ability to deal damage. Most weapons have a minimum [[Muscle]] requirement to be equipped; some [[:Category:Ranged Weapons|ranged weapons]] require a certain amount of Moxie.

See [[Weapons]]

===Off-hand Items===
Off-hand items are held in your hand which isn't holding a weapon. You may not equip an off-hand item if you are equipping a two- (or three-)handed weapon. Some off-hand items have a minimum [[Mysticality]] requirement to be equipped, while Shields, a specific type of off-hand item, may have a minimum [[Muscle]] requirement to be equipped.

===Pants===
Pants are used to cover your legs. All pants have a power rating, which determines how well they protect you from damage. Most pants have a minimum [[Moxie]] requirement to be equipped.

See [[Pants]]

===Accessories===
Accessories are various rings, amulets, gloves, shoes, watches and various other baubles you hang on various parts of your body. Accessories can provide a large variety of benefits. Most accessories have a minimum [[Mysticality]] requirement to be equipped. You may wear three accessories at one time.
