"True value lies beneath the surface"
Item Identification reveals the true properties of weapons, armor, and magical items. In Renaissance-era UO, this skill helps distinguish between normal items and those with magical properties, assess weapon and armor quality, and determine an item's true worth. Essential for merchants, adventurers, and anyone dealing with valuable equipment.

Use skill on unidentified items. Any item works - weapons, armor, jewelry, etc.
💎 Tip: Carry lots of unidentified items for continuous training
💡 Pro Tip: Higher quality items provide better skill gains
