Item Attributes

Variation Of:


This attribute spawns on any item that has had its base type name changed. For player crafted items this type change occurs when the player renames the item from the default given one. The name change can occur automatically as the player chooses a particular style for the item during the customization process or by manually renaming the item in the name field. After changing the name the item now indicates that it is a variation of the specific type that it originated as.


For more information about the Variation Of attribute, see General Item Mechanics


Volumn:

Represents the current container contents of the Item.

For more information about volumn counts, see Inventory Mechanics


Tool Effectiveness

This is an attribute of the crafting tool itself. Its function is to serve as a modifier to the random roll event for experimentation and assembly. Having a positive value in this will mean a bonus to the roll, where having a negative will decrease chances of favorable rolls. Generic Tools given to new players all have a 0.0 effectiveness rating.

Crafting Tool Status

This attribute notifies the player whether or not the tool is currently in progress of creating an item. Examining the crafting tool will display the count down timer in the window with a live update as it counts down as well as its working/ready status. The working status indicates that the tool is unusable while it is processing the item. Ready of course means that the tool is usable.

Prototype Time Remaining

This attribute occurs only when a crafting tool is actively producing a prototype item. This displays a live updated timer that displays the item's remaining creation time. When the timer expires, the attribute is removed.


Object Creator:

This attribute appears only on crafted items or looted components. The crafter's name is listed here.
