Thanks you for your effort.  Without belittle it, however, I would like
to point out that a list of items which doesn't say what the items do
is of limited value:  For the most part it is a first step -- a table
of contents and a guide to future efforts.  The major unknowns in this
list are:

>18 Eleven Longbow [1.2]
>19 Dwarven Axe [2.4]
>20 Troll Hammer [4.0]
>21 Mithril Sword [1.2]
>22 Mithril Axe [1.6]

Which of these weapons gives the user a +1 MAR bonus?  And does the
bonus carry over to the magic and enchanted versions of those weapons?

>113 Staff of Recovery [0.6]
>114 Staff of Spells [0.6]
>115 Wizard's Staff
>116 P1 Staff
>117 P1 staff
>118 P3 Staff [0.6]
>119 P4 Staff
>120 P5 Staff
>121 P6 Staff
>122 Druids' Staff P I   AF +20%, Max Terrain Mods +/- 20%
>123 Druids' Staff P II

What are the DMG and AF factors for these weapons?  I've accumulated
a partial listing of those -- and about half the values on that listing
are contradicted by personal experience.

>[125-130]

Lots of details missing, as observed.

In Realm, this is Fairy Armor.  All I know about it is
a) It's small
b) The only times I've seen it, it's been worn by *Centaurs*
c) It gives moderately weak protection

>402 Healing potion I
>403 Healing Potion II [0.15]
>406 Silversheen Potion (DEX aid)
>407 Invisibility Potion
>445 Diplomat's Elixir   +2 Base Inf when equipped.
>446 Redmist Potion      PC aid
>447 Greydust Salve      Sighting Modifier
>448 Almonquava Wine     10% bless
>449 Fairydust           Anti Magic
>450 Elixir of Strength    +5 Str when equipped.

Details on almost all of these:  Values when equipped, values
when activated, and side-effects.  (Eg, didn't Almonquava Wine
hamper influence attempts?)

Again, the effort *is* appreciated, but I hope people will focus
more efforts on filling in the gaps in our collective knowledge,
rather than just on naming them.
