Items

Items in Darkest Dungeon consist of Provisions, Loot, and Trinkets

Provisions
Provisions are items that can be bought before entering a dungeon or by finding them inside of dungeons. They possess effects that are helpful during exploration, including various ways to heal your heroes or remove obstacles. After finishing a dungeon and returning to the town, supplies are refunded at a greatly reduced price (5% of original value) so it's advised to to carefully plan their usage before embarking on a travel.

Loot
The various Loot items in Darkest Dungeon are available for pickup after defeating monsters or finding them in curios. These are items of high value which are sold for gold upon returning to the Hamlet.

* Antiques will only appear when there is an Antiquarian in the party. Additionally, she also allows gold to stack to 2000 instead of 1500.

Heirlooms
Heirlooms are a special kind of loot that is used to upgrade buildings in the Town. In addition to gaining heirlooms for finishing a dungeon, additional heirlooms can be collected while exploring.

Here is a short list of what each heirloom upgrades:
 * Crests are used to upgrade all buildings in town.
 * Portraits are used to upgrade the Guild and the Tavern.
 * Busts are used to upgrade the Abbey and the Sanitarium.
 * Deeds are used to upgrade the Stage Coach and the Blacksmith.

Trinkets
Trinkets are equippable items that can be found in the dungeons or bought at the Nomad Wagon. Each hero is able to carry two different trinkets with various effects.

Quest Items
Some quests require the player to retrieve certain items or activate Curios with special items given at the start of the quest. Each region's items are unique.
