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 3% chance of being awarded each of the five Holy Grails, for the cumulative chance of receiving a Grail of 15%.
Book of Golem Summoning	Summons 7 - 25 Iron Golems.
Book of Prophecy	Grants 5,000 - 10,000 population.
Bottle of Eversmoking	Increases the accuracy of both friendly and enemy Orcs by 10%. This item is disabled on all servers.
Brooch of Protection	All friendly units are granted +40% to their Melee Resistance. On Arch server, this value is +50%.
Bubble Wine	All friendly units are granted an increase of 10% to their Primary, Extra, and Counter AP, and 30% to their HP. On the Arch Server, all friendly units are granted an increase of 20% to their Primary and Counter AP and 30% to their HP.
Candle of Sleeping	Reduces all enemy units' Damage Resistances by 10% and reduces their efficiency by 10%.
Capsule Monster	Summons 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%). The Coffin is similar to the spell Night of the Living Dead.
Cosmetics	Grants all Humans and Elves the Beauty ability. This item is disabled on all servers.
Crystal Ball	Spies on an enemy mage and reveals pieces of information, such as number of buildings, stack order, number of units in a stack, etc. Item is similar to the spell Scrying Mirror, albeit less effective.
Dozens of Silver-tipped Arrows	Adds the Holy attack type to all friendly units with a Missile attack type. This item is disabled on all servers.
Drums of War	Reduces the Primary, Extra, and Counter AP of all enemy units by 10%. On the Arch Server, there is no reduction to Extra AP.
Figurine of Ice Queen	Deals a variable amount of Cold damage to all enemy stacks. The damage is equal to: (100,000 + [(random number between 1-3) x (numberofunitsinstack)]. For example, if the random number turns out to be 2 and there are 1,000 units in a stack, the damage would be 102,000.
Flasks of Holy Water	Deals 100,000 Holy damage to all enemy Undead units.
Horn of Valhalla	Grants the user 2,000 - 4,000 Knights.
Javelin of Lightning Bolt	Deals a variable amount of Lightning damage to all enemy stacks and reduces all enemy units' Counter AP by 25%. The damage is equal to: (100,000 + [(random number between 1-3) x (numberofunitsinstack)]. For example, if the random number turns out to be 2 and there are 1,000 units in a stack, the damage would be 102,000.
Letters of the Thieves' Guild	Enables the user to steal Geld, an item, or a Unique Item from the target enemy mage, if the item passes through barriers. The Letters are the only way to steal a unique item from an opponent.
Magical Compass	Grants roughly 100 - 250 acres of Wilderness. Yields decrease as the user's land increases.
Mana Crystal	Grants 30,000 - 70,000 mana. Mana is granted 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 instead (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, such as The Wall of Silence. Only dispels one spell at a time, and it will not dispel a mage's own beneficial spells, like Concentration or The Holy Light. A mage can only hold 3 of these items, and they can never be pillaged.
Missile shield	Increases Ranged Resistance of all friendly units by 50%. Resistance is capped at 100%.
Monkey Brains	Doubles the Primary, Extra, and Counter AP of all friendly units that possess a Psychic attack type in either their Primary Attack or Extra Attack types. On the Arch Server, this double bonus does not apply to Extra Attack. For example, an Unholy Reaver possesses a Psychic Ranged attack type as its Extra Attack. For this reason, Unholy Reavers will receive the bonus from Monkey Brains, and the bonus will apply to Primary, Extra, and Counter AP.
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 only active on Arch Server.
Official List of Demands	Has an equal chance to trigger an effect of one of the four following items against target enemy mage: Letters of the Thieves Guild Mana Vortex Rotten Food Voodoo Doll
Oil Flasks	Reduces all enemy units' Fire resistance by 40%, which can put fire resistance below 0%. On Arch Server, this reduction value is 50%.
Ointment of Healing	Heals 1 - 5 HP for each unit in each stack. For example, if there are 1,000 units in a stack, it will heal between 1,000 and 5,000 HP. It is similar to the Spell Healing, albeit a bit more varied in its healing.
Peaches	Grants the user 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. On the Arch Server, the Pipes destroy 15,000 population rather than 7,500.
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 the Primary, Extra and Counter AP of all friendly units by 20%. On Arch Server, the increase is 30% with no effect to Extra AP.
Pouch of Herbs	Resurrects 15% of losses after a battle of all friendly stacks who survived the battle, and increases Poison Resistance of all friendly units by 10%.
Powder Keg	Deals a variable amount of Fire damage to all enemy stacks and reduces the AP of their Primary, Extra and Counter attacks by 5%. Damage is equal to: (random number between 1-3) * (numberofunitsinstack). On Arch Server, there is no reduction to Extra AP.
Ring of Animal Command	Increases the base AP of the Primary, Extra and Counter attacks of all friendly Animal units by 100% while reducing the base AP of the Primary, Extra and Counter attacks 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. Also note that on the Arch Server, there is no increase or reduction to Extra AP.
Rotten Food	Destroys 5,000 - 15,000 of the target enemy mage's population. On Arch Server, this value is 10,000 - 30,000.
Sage Stone	Grants the user 1,000,000 - 2,000,000 geld.
Satchel of Mist	Reduces the accuracy of both friendly and enemy units by 10%.
Scroll of Protection from Fire	Grants all friendly units +40% Fire Resistance. On the Arch Server, this bonus value is 50%.
Sogrom's Binding	Sets the initiative of a random enemy stack to 0. This item is only active on Arch Server.
Staff of Illusion	Deals a variable amount of Magic damage to all enemy stacks. The damage is equal to: (100,000 + [(random number between 1-3) x (numberofunitsinstack)]. For example, if the random number turns out to be 2 and there are 1,000 units in a stack, the damage would be 102,000.
Strange Metallic Can	Resurrects 25% of the user's casualties at the end of battle for all stacks that were not completely annihilated.
The Head of Medusa	Destroys 1 - 10 units of one random enemy stack.

Total Newbie Handbook	Summons 5,000 frogs or 5,000 squirrels.
Treasure Chest	Grants either 500,000 geld, 5 lesser items, a Unique Item, or nothing. The chances for a Unique are 2%. The Unique comes from the Unique Items currently present in the Unique Pool. If there are no Unique Items 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 of if it was owned or not (it is capable of stealing).
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. This item is disabled on the Solo Server.
