Item

An item is a purchaseable physical object in Lego Universe II: The Legend Reborn. There are multiple categories of items, including Apparel, Tools, Headgear, and Weaponry.

Apparel
Apparel items consist of body parts for your minifigure, such as torsos and legs. They typically provide Armor, but they can provide Imagination or other stats.

Tools
Tools are similar to Weaponry items in the sense they are handheld by your minifigure, but they usually have low Attack and Defense and a special ability.

Headgear
Headgear, as its name implies, is worn on your minifigure's head. It usually provides Armor, but some Headgear provides Imagination. Headgear is one of the most distinguishing factors in a minifigure's appearance, giving it the look of a Samurai, Navy Captain, or Pirate.

Weaponry
Weaponry is similar to the Tool category in the sense that Weaponry items are handheld, but they usually have higher Attack and Defense and occasionally have a special ability.

Neck-Slot
Neck-Slot items are worn around a minifigure's neck and include backpacks, quivers, capes, and jetpacks. These are some of the most highly prized items in the entire game because most Neck-Slot items are quite decent in capabilities and stats.

Waist-Slot
Waist-Slot items are similar to Neck-Slot items in stats, but are a whole lot rarer.

Consumable
Comsumable items are either one of two sub-categories: Edibles or Expendables. Edibles grant you abilities or restore Health. Expendables are used in conjunction with another item, usually. They have high Attack, therfore allowing you to easily overcome even the hardest enemies. Consumables are characterized by their one usage.
