Lesser Items

Note: Unique Items have their own page with shortlisted descriptions

See here for information on Item generation

Ash of Invisibility	The initiative of all of your units' Primary and Extra Attack are set to 6, almost guaranteeing that your units will hit first in battle (unless opponent uses initiative-influencing magic or items, too). Notes: Any unit having an initiative above 6 (from multiple modifiers) is treated as having initiative 6 when the battle starts. Paralyze will cancel out the effect of Ash of Invisibility and vice-versa (i.e. invisible paralysed unit will have its original initiative; no init=0 nor init=6). In the rare case of both the Attacker and the Defender using Ash of Invisibility at the same time (and no other initiative modifiers are used), both armies start with their initiatives set to 6. This causes the battle to start with the attacks of the top stacks with the first hitter determined at random. This scenario is repeated for all other stacks, from top to bottom in order.
Blood Stained Map	Grants a 10% chance of being awarded one of the five Holy Grails.
Book of Golem Summoning	Summons 7-25 Iron Golems.
Book of Prophecy	Grants 4,000-12,000 population.
Bottle of Eversmoking	Increases accuracy of Orcs by 10% on both sides. Note that this item is disabled on the majority of servers.
Brooch of Protection	All your units gain 40% to their Melee resistance. This value is 50% on Arch server.
Bubble Wine	All of your units gain 10% to their Primary Attack and Counter Attack, and 30% to their Health Points.
Candle of Sleeping	Reduces all enemy units' Damage Resistances by 10% and reduces their efficiency by 10%.
Capsule Monster	Summon 1,000 Capsule Monsters in battle that vanish once the battle is finished. Surviving Capsule Monsters do not count towards any calculation of conquering land.
Carpet of Flying	Grants Flying to all friendly units unless they already had Flying.
Coffin	Summons a set amount of a certain unit, either 2000 Zombies, 1000 Ghouls, 500 Wraiths, 20 Liches, or 20 Vampires. The chance is equal for each set of units (20%). Item is similar to the Nether spell Night of the Living Dead.
Cosmetics	Grants all Humans and Elves the Beauty ability. Note that this item is disabled on the majority of servers.
Crystal Ball	Spies on an enemy mage for pieces of information, such as number of buildings, stack order, number of units in a stack, etc. Item is similar to the Phantasm spell Scrying Mirror, but is less effective.
Dozens of Silver-tipped Arrows	Adds Holy attack type to all friendly units with a Missile attack type. Note that this item is disabled on the majority of servers.
Drums of War	Reduces Primary Attack Power of all enemy units by 10%.
Figurine of Ice Queen	Deals a small amount of Cold damage to all enemy units.
Flasks of Holy Water	Deals 100,000 Holy damage to all enemy undead units.
Horn of Valhalla	Summon 2,000-4,000 Knights.
Javelin of Lightning Bolt	Deals 90,000-105,000 Lightning damage to each enemy stack and reduces all enemy units' Counter Attack damage by 25%.
Letters of the Thieves' Guild	Steal gold, an item, or a unique item from the target enemy. Item is the only way to steal a unique item from an opponent.
Magical Compass	Grants roughly 100-250 acres. Yields decrease as the user's land increases.
Mana Crystal	Grants 30,000-70,000 mana. Mana is given after upkeep is taken away.
Mana Vortex	Destroy 3,000-9,000 of the target's mana, or 6,000-18,000 of the target's mana on Arch. If a Mage has more than maximum mana, that mana is drained (i.e. a Mage has 1,000,000/800,000 mana. 200,000 mana is destroyed).
Minor Indulgence	Dispels spells cast by Gods, other mages, and spells that have the No Dispel attribute, like The Wall of Silence. Only dispels one spell at a time, and it will not dispel your own beneficial spells, like Concentration or The Holy Light. Inventories can only hold 3 of these items, and they can never be pillaged.
Missile shield	Increases Ranged resistance for your units by 50%. Resistance is capped at 100%.
Monkey Brains	Doubles the Primary AP of all friendly units with a Psychic attack type.
Nets of Ensnarement	Grounds one random enemy stack. If the randomly-chosen stack has Flying, it also suffers -1 initiative. If the randomly-chosen stack does not have Flying, this item has no effect. This item is disabled on all servers except Arch.
Official List of Demands	Has an equal chance to trigger an effect of one of the following items against target enemy mage: Letters of the Thieves Guild, Mana Vortex, Pipes of the Sewer, Rotten Food, Voodoo Doll.
Oil Flasks	Reduces enemy units' Fire resistance by 40%, which can put fire resistance below 0%. On Arch Server, this reduction value is 50%. For example, Treants have 0% Fire Resistance and Weakness to Fire, which takes an additional -50% away. If Oil Flasks pass through Barriers, Treants will have 0% - 50% - 40% = -90% Fire Resistance, which essentially multiplies any Fire Attack against Treants by 1.9x.
Ointment of Healing	Acts like the Ascendant Spell Healing, which heals a set amount of hit points. In addition, it grants a small amount of Poison resistance to all friendly units.
Peaches	Summon 1,500-5,000 Gorillas.
Pipes of the Sewer	Destroys exactly 500,000 gold and 7,500 population, unless these values are higher than what the target mage currently has.
Pixie Dust	Reduces all Damage Resistances of the enemy army by a total of 20% divided by the number of stacks. This item differs from Candle of Sleeping because it assigns this penalty to each stack equally. For example, if the enemy mage has 10 stacks, then it will reduce each stacks' Damage Resistance by 2%. If the enemy mage has 2 stacks, it will reduce each stacks' Damage Resistance by 10%.
Potion of Valor	Increases AP of Primary Attack and Counter Attack by 16.75%.
Pouch of Herbs	Resurrects 10% of your casualties (except Ultimate units). Similar to the Ascendant Spell Platinum Hand of Healing, albeit much weaker.
Powder Keg	Deals a small amount of Fire damage to all enemy units and reduces the AP of their Primary Attack and Counter Attack by 5%. Damage is equal to 1.5 * Number of Units in Stack.
Ring of Animal Command	Increases the base AP of the Primary Attack and Counter Attack of all friendly Animal units by 100% while reducing the base AP of the Primary Attack and Counter Attack of all enemy Animal units by 100%. Note that this item's increase and decrease are to base unit values, so Enlarge Animal will still improve statistics significantly and will distort the reduction results.
Rotten Food	Destroys 5,000-15,000 of the target enemy mage's population.
Sage Stone	Grants 1,000,000-2,000,000 geld to user.
Satchel of Mist	Reduces the accuracy of all units on both sides by 10%.
Scroll of Protection from Fire	Gives all friendly units a 40% bonus to their Fire resistance. On the Arch Server, this bonus value is 50%.
Sogrom's Binding	Sets the initiative of a random enemy stack to 0. Note that this item is disabled on the majority of servers.
Staff of Illusion	Deals approximately 100,000 Magic damage to each individual enemy stack. Damage increases as the number of units in a stack increases.
Strange Metallic Can	Resurrects 25% of the user's casualties at the end of battle.
The Head of Medusa	Destroys 1-10 units of one random enemy stack.
The Spider's Web	Reduces the initiative of all enemy units by 1.
Total Newbie Handbook	Summons 5,000 frogs or 5,000 squirrels.
Treasure Chest	Grants either 500,000 geld, 3 lesser items, a Unique Item, or nothing. The chances for a Unique are 2%. The Unique comes from the Unique Items currently found in the Unique Pool. If there are no Uniques in the Pool, then the mage will get a message stating that there are no Uniques available. On Beta and Lightning Server, it will take a random Unique and give it to the mage, regardless if it was owned.
Treasure Map	Grants either 1,000,000 geld, 5 lesser items, the location of a Unique Item (displays the mage who possesses the Unique, or nothing. This item is disabled on all servers except Arch and Guildwar.
Vial of Venom	Adds the Poison Attack Type to the Primary Attack of all friendly units with a Melee Attack Type.
Voodoo Doll	Destroys 2-8 turns from the target enemy mage. The target enemy mage's turns cannot go into negative by using this item.
Wine of the Three Whips	Increase your population by 10% or the delta between your current population and your population limit, whichever is lower.
