Some items may have a Condition which indicates a current status of the item. Some Conditions make the item unusable, diminish their value, or introduce other complications. Items with any status Condition cannot be listed on
The Black Market.
No status
Items can be used normally in any way.
Damaged
Items that have reduced
Durability become Damaged and will not function properly. Damaged weapons have reduced damage
output while Damaged armor has reduced damage reduction. Other item types can be Damaged as well causing diminished effects. Most Damaged items can be repaired by a Foundry where they will have the Damaged status removed.
The Damaged condition is the only status that can be added in simultaneously to another item Condition.
Encrypted
Encrypted items are mysterious and display very little information about them. They are unable to be used in any way and effectively useless until Decrypted by an Encoder within a
Safe Zone or the player's
Starhawk.
Contaminated
Contaminated items cause negative effects and
Debuffs just by being in a player’s inventory. However, items may be Decontaminated at which time all negative effects are removed. Contamination can include reduced damage output, damage resistance,
Attributes,
Ability recovery speed, and more.
The more valuable an item, the more expensive it becomes to Decontaminate.
Unknown
Unknown items cannot be used until Identified. Items that require Identification will include a requirement indicating how to Identify it. These items act as miniature sidequests. Unknown items are particularly valuable once Identified.
Disintegrating
Items that are Disintegrating are often particularly powerful, however they have exponentially increased
Durability loss that makes them less effective at a much faster rate. Disintegrating items can be Fused and have the status removed by providing various materials at a Foundry.
