[3.5] Items
===========

Your primary task in X-Men Legends is defeating the bad guys. Your 
secondary task is scrounging for loot...that is, collecting valuable 
equipment. You get most of your swag from drops by your enemies; however, 
you can also get a lot of loot from destroying the scenery.

Most of the items you will collect are health packs and energy packs. Since 
these resources get used up frequently (especially in the early game), it's 
a good thing the game drops a lot. Later in the game, as your energy 
regeneration improves, you can start selling off some of the energy packs 
you pick up, since you don't need them as much and so many of them drop 
anyway. Keep the health packs, they don't show up quite as often.

You also need to look out for tech bits, the X-Men Legends equivalent of 
money. You use tech bits to buy equipment from Forge and Healer and revive 
fallen mutants-in-arms. Once you hit 15th level and can use Xtreme powers, 
you'll start picking up the Xtreme tokens you need to fill your Xtreme 
power icons.

There are also many bonus items that are hidden throughout the game: comic 
books to upgrade your X-Men; discs for playing in the Danger Room; sketch 
books that unlock concept art so you can say "kewwwl"; bonus skill points, 
stat points and experience points. All lying around where just anybody can 
get to it. Well, all right, anybody that can fly or teleport or pick up 
tractor-trailers...

All X-Men share the inventory, so any X-Man can equip anything that's been 
picked up, unless another X-Man is already wearing the item. There is a 
limit to the number of items that can be held in inventory. If you try to 
pick something up and get the message "Inventory is full", you have three 
options: ignore the item on the ground because it is underpowered for your 
current level; go to a nearby Xtraction point and sell unused items to 
Forge or Healer; or, drop some of your current inventory on the ground. In 
order to keep your inventory from filling up, re-evaluate your equipment 
and sell unneeded items at least every second Xtraction point.

A more complete list of items available is in section 7. Items that always 
show up in a specific location (such as comics, Danger Room discs, sketch 
books and bonus points) are listed in section 6, Walkthrough. The locations 
of comics are also listed in section 7.3. Danger Room disc locations are 
also listed in section 9.
