I need some help with this game. In quests, i don't get how to find certain items. I haven't even been able to complete one of those quests. For example, where the heck can i find something like a sign or a lantern? There's got to be an easier way to find them besides searching the whole world.
Goods shops and General Stores off the top of my head. Also two of the stores in the Embassy. Lanterns, picks, and other crap can also be found for free in the
Putit Infestation's dungeon. Though watch out for the later enemies of the dungeon... They're far, FAR worse than the Putits.
And do i have to identify every item? Because that costs a lot.
Don't worry, the amount of money they cost will get less and less extreme for you as the game goes on.
But, other ways to identify them:
Wear them (if equipment). Note that this only identifies very basic attributes of the item and if it's blessed, normal, cursed, or doomed. Dangerous! You could put on a Cursed or Doomed item, the latter being extremely hard to get off of your character and also the most painful.
Carry them for a long time (quite slow). This identifies most or all of the attributes of the items as far as I can tell.
Use them (if scrolls, rods, or potions). This will only identify the type of item. Not recommended that you try them on yourself or any of your valuable items if you do this, or try them on other non-enemy NPCs.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
Anyway,
here's the wiki just in case you haven't found it yet.
