Keyboard Notes

Remove wielded item

To remove the item you're currently wielding so your hands are empty (fists) go through the following key sequence:

  1. Press w
  2. Press -

If you previously selected a martial arts style through _ it'll revert to that MA style instead.

In any case, the currently wielded item will be automatically placed in your inventory, or you'll be asked if you want to drop it if there's no space left.

Dropping Items

Dropping an item from the inventory screen will always drop a single item.

Dividing stacks

  1. Press d or D to drop the items and display the inventory screen
  2. Press the key assigned to the inventory item you want to divide
  3. Type the number of items you want to drop
  4. Press again the key of the inventory item you want to divide (in some cases, this will cause the item letter to be displayed as #)
  5. Press RETURN

Picking up Items

Pressing , twice selects all items. Currently this functionality cannot be reassigned to another key.

  1. Open the @ Character Status screen
  2. Use TAB to navigate to the SKILLS section.
