Miscellaneous Items

Items in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic are crucial for enhancing performance and healing. The game features a diverse array of items, from gear that boosts combat effectiveness to consumables that restore health. Understanding how to acquire, equip, and utilize these items is key to surviving encounters with the Sith and other adversaries.

Upon starting the game, players awaken to a Sith attack on their ship. A character named Trask will guide them to a footlocker containing initial gear. To equip items, select the footlocker (indicated by a blue circle) and take all contents. Trask will then explain the equipping process. The Equip Screen allows players to enhance performance, though some items require specific feats or are completely useless. The Party Inventory screen displays all owned items with descriptions, and datapads can be read by selecting them and using the right thumb stick.

Treat Injury is a vital skill; a higher skill level increases the healing potency of medical items. Players will frequently engage in combat, making effective use of healing items essential for survival. Grenades are useful for groups of enemies, as demonstrated in early firefights where using a grenade before engaging remaining foes and looting bodies is an effective strategy.

For rare and unique items, including lightsaber crystals and infinite-use droid weapons, players can visit a space station orbiting Yavin IV. Here, the inventor Suvam Tan sells exclusive equipment and offers higher prices for selling inventory. More inventory becomes available from Suvam Tan as additional Star Maps are found. On the Xbox version, this station requires free DLC to access, which became unavailable after the original Xbox Live shutdown.
