# Equipment & Items
In this world, the use of items plays a significant role. From upgrading buildings to equipping a character, items are required everywhere. Items have a grade of rarity that determines their characteristics and value on the market.
Items can be divided into several groups:
* Equipment - items that can be geared by characters to increase their power. Such items may have durability, which decreases every time the character performs an Adventure or Arena battle.
* Consumables - items that disappear after they are used and cause some sort of effect. For example, a potion to increase ones loot drop chance during adventures or battle stats of heroes.
* Utility Items - these single use items are required to perform a specific action (ex. Gold Mine upgrades). They are found in the game in the form of toolkits and expansions.
Most items can be created via crafting. Some can be found during in-game activities (adventuring, etc). Some can be bought in the Kingdom Shop for 
[$EXO](/tokenomics/exonium-or-usdexo.md), 
[$HEXO](/tokenomics/hexonium-or-usdhexo.md). Items can also be traded between players on the Kingdom Market.
