Equipment & Supplies

   Food and Ale

Packs of 10 rations are found in the grocery stores with a ceiling price of 5 pence per pack. Grocers can be talked down to 1p per. If they ask for 4-5 pence per ten you're better option is the castle's magic pools. See Atlas:Castle about this. Ale is always a pence per serving, but the gossip is the best reason for being in the pub. 

   Weapons N Stuff

Weapons increase in potency with the higher letter designation. But not all items in the arms list are average weapons. Most missile weapons seem to carry a greater deal of inaccuracy (less likely for a damaging hit each attack). Shops sell the first ten types (up to and including k. - staves). The odd numbered ones are sold at some cities, the even ones are at the others. The high order weapons can be stolen from shops or castles, gifts from a castle's magic pools or won by happy chance from the Pillars of the Argonauts. G & H only found in shops after 2000 moves. I, J & K only become available after 3000 moves. I've not been able to determine how or how much the magic items affect your magic skills. They do not directly affect your attributes but may still affect your casting effectiveness.

   Armours

Armour can be destroyed as it is being used. Although this never happened to me, both the game executable and the documentation hint at this likelihood. The more expensive it is, the better its quality. E or F is required for space travel. All shops will sell an entire line of all five types. E & F only become available after 3000 moves.

   Transportation

The most important attributes of transports are giving you access to the seas or faster speed than enemies. Some have specific uses or even weapons. E & F only become available after 3000 moves.

Short Cut	Title	Cost (@ INT = 0)	Attributes
	Foot	NA	As you start out, keeps you attached to one land mass. Only mountains and water block you.
a	Horse	40p	basic land transport but faster
b	Cart	160p	basic land transport but faster
c	Raft	360p	Basic water transport but no cannons for attack.
d	Frigate	640p	Can only move on the water but the side firing cannons give you a distance attack even if you don't have a missile weapon.
e	Aircar	1000p	The most useful type of transport, goes everywhere except forests and mountains. Has forward laser cannons too.
f	Shuttle	1440p	For one purpose only, to get into and get back from space. Though you can use it for combat and it has a hyperdrive.
g	Time Machine	NA	For one and only one purpose.

 

   Time Machine Keys

These items are not important in any general sense except one, all of them are all needed to operate the time machine. They are quest items given by certain kings as payment for services the player performs.
