Items

Collecting items is one of the ways in Caveblazers to become stronger. Items are commonly found in Crates, Large chests, Orc chests, in Item or Random shrines from certain perks and enemies, bosses, and the item shop when the Blackjack Relic is active.

Melee Weapons
Most melee weapons can be upgraded to Super items by placing two of the same type on an altar to combine them.

Ranged Weapons
Most ranged weapons can be upgraded to Super items by placing two of the same type on an altar to combine them.

Magic Items
Magic items which cause damage can be upgraded to Super items by placing two of the same type on an altar to combine them.

The Traditionalist perk prevents you from equipping any magic items, or non-magical items worn in the same slot (such as passive amulets).

Rings
Most rings can be upgraded on altars. the Ring Slot Blessing and some upgraded Super items add additional slots which allow equipping more than two rings.

Consumable Items
The Blessing of Nourishment increases the amount of health regained from eating consumable food items. The bonus to max health is unaffected by Blessing of Nourishment.

Throwable Items
Thrown items are placed in-hand when activated (and cannot be canceled), and are thrown in a direction using your ranged controls. Most thrown items detonate on impact with blocks.

* The player (and any allied NPCs) will also be affected if caught in a throwable item effect

Experimental Items
Experimental items can only be aquired in Custom mode when the 'experimental items' option is enabled. This will cause experimental item capsules to spawn on every second level of the area. These capsules can only be broken open by blowing them up with a tile-breaking explosive such as bombs. Luckily these capsules spawn with a bomb next to or around them most of the time.

Experimental items can not be upgraded via any means.
