When clients ask for an item instead presenting you with something on the counters, they do not usually ask for a certain item in particular, but for a category instead. A category refers to several different items of different types. For example, something warm refers to anything that is warm, that includes scarves and Wool Hats. Categories are also used by the newsflash system to tell you about price increases and decreases.

Each item type is also a category by themselves, and some names are shared, for example, Armor refers to both the Armor type of item, also to items that can be equipped in the armor slot of an adventurer's inventory: clothes, robes, breastplates and armors.

Some item types are all part of a category, but many belong to certain categories depending on the materials they are made of, their appearance, etc... It is usually intuitive, but trying may be required to know if an item belong to a certain category or not. Looking at exactly which items are affected by a price change is often the easiest way to tell if they are part of a particular category or not.

Categories by description[]

Most types of item are also a category of their own. When there is an announcement about them, or when customers ask for them, those categories refer to all the items of that type. Type names appear at the top of each page in the inventory and the encyclopedia. Ingredients, Cards, Medicines, Flooring, Wallpapers, Venders and Counters are never requested by clients nor mentioned in announcements as a whole.

While announcements and customers may mention an item type (such as Swords), they frequently mention a category which may cover several types of items, or items in particular which come from many different types.

Sometimes, when a boom is announced categories are not mentioned, but just 'hinted' by referring to things like cold weather or sunstrokes. Check Announcements for more info.
