Items

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

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, every Antiquarian in the party increase the amount of gold that can be in one stack by 750.

** Consecrated Pews are dropped only by the Pews that guard The Prophet.

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.

The Crimson Court DLC adds two new kinds of heirlooms; Blueprints which are used to build Districts and Invitations which are used to enter the Courtyard.

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.
 * Blueprints are used to build Districts.

Originally in the base game each area had one specific heirloom given as quest rewards. While this is no longer the case for most quests, it is still true for bosses.
 * Ruins: Busts/Crests
 * Weald: Deeds/Crests
 * Warrens: Portraits/Crests
 * Cove: Crest (three times as much in other areas)

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.

Curse Items
The Crimson Court DLC adds a new disease known as the Crimson Curse, effectively turning your heroes into vampires. There are two items that relate to it; the Blood which is used to sustain your cursed heroes, and the Cure which is one of the only ways to lift the curse from your heroes.

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.
