Hero Items Basic

Single-player Quest items are not listed. "AE" means Area Effect.
Hero Items on the Ground
Select a treasure (Hero Item) while it is on the ground to see what it is.
Hero Items in your Hero's Inventory
Left-click on an item to use it.
Right-click on an item to pick it up so that you can drop it. You can also rearrange items in your inventory by right-clicking on an item to pick it up then left-clicking on the square you wish to place your item in.
There are no item requirements
Clothing Items such as Boots, Rings, and Cloaks do not display on your Hero unless the item causes some sort of magical attack or spell. Your Hero does not actually "wear" these items. There are no limitations on how many of these items you can have. You could, for example, have 4 pairs of boots.
You can have multiple copies of the same item so you can have the same item six times. The effects of some items do not stack such as Boots of Speed or Cloaks of Shadow.
Hero Item Locations
Hero items mainly come from Creeps, but they can also be bought at Neutral Buildings or sometimes be found by destroying special buildings in single player. They can also be bought at player-built shops.
Trading Hero Items between players, Allied Heroes, or Units
Heroes can trade items with other friendly Heroes or item holding units by simply right-clicking on the Hero Item to pick it up, then left-clicking on the Hero or item carrying unit you want to give it to. If you find a cool item that would be useful for an allied Hero, walk up and give it to them! You can also click on the Hero's Portraits to give items to them. Pick up the item and drop it on the Hero's portrait. This will instruct the Hero or unit to give the item to that Hero. You cannot trade power-up items.
Hero Death
When Heroes die, their items go with them. Heroes resurrected at the Altar come back with all of the items they had before.
Unit Death
When Units carrying Items die, they drop the items on the ground where they died. This is in contrast to Heroes which do not drop the items when they die.
Enemy Hero Items
You can see the items of enemy Hero Units by selecting them.
Hero Items sold at Neutral Buildings and Player-built Shops
Items are sold at 50% of their base price.
Item Management
Item Management becomes more important when you have more than six items. You might want to bring in additional Heroes or units to pick extra items up so the enemy does not get them or you can destroy them. Do not leave items around for enemy players to pick up.
Normal Unit Item Carriers
The following units can also carry up to two items:
Humans: Footman, Knight, Sorceress, Priest, Spell Breaker, Rifleman
Orcs: Kodo Beast (4), Shaman, Witch Doctor, Raider, Grunt, Spirit Walker
Night Elves: Mountain Giant, Druid of the Talon, Druid of the Claw, Archer, Huntress, Dryad
Undead: Ghoul, Abomination, Banshee, Necromancer, Crypt Fiend
Hero Item Rules
  • Hero Items have 75 hit points. Attack and destroy any items you cannot carry rather than leaving them for the enemy.
  • Each item only takes one space in the inventory. There are no items that take more than one inventory space.
  • Items are not race specific, and there are no restrictions on carrying them.
  • You cannot lose items in a Hero's inventory, and other players cannot steal the items unless they are dropped from a regular unit.
  • Heroes will not consume health or Mana potions if they are "full."
  • You can destroy items by attacking them.
