Image	Name 	Effect 	Description
 	Golden Coin 	While equipped, it will protect you from obtaining new Soul Flaw upon death
Can be exchanged for Blessing at Totem of Souls
One use only	"Shiny coin made of gold.
Apparently, it was consecrated by a church official.
Perhaps that's why its properties are uncommon in Barren Lands."
 	Feather 	Increases stamina regen by 25%
Lowers max stamina by 10%
(Effect does not stack with other birdman's feathers)	"Remains from Birdman."
 	Acid Gland 	Increases resistance to acids by 50%
Reduces max HP by 15%	"Better not keep it around food."
 	Watch 	Time slows down by 15% for 1 seconds whenever you aim down the sights
(The effect may happen only once per 5 seconds)
(Effect does not stack)	"An old watch with fine ornaments. It doesn't work, but every time you shake it, something rattles inside.
A side-effect to this is that it slows down time. Weird, but useful."
 	Playing Card 	Increases chance of getting loot from monsters 	"It's an ace! This must mean it's lucky, right?"
 	Ectoplasm 	20% for enemy ranged attacks to miss 	"Ghostly remains of a tainted spirit. It glows ever so slightly.
It is a little known fact, that the remains of spirits - called ectoplasm - will crystalize in time. Folks liked keeping those for good luck."
 	Glove 	Faster reload by 15% 	"This unsettling looking glove is made of human skin and covered in unremovable blood stains. Thanks to some wicked magic, it suits your hand perfectly and even makes reloading easier and faster."
 	Shot Coin 	Every killed enemy gives you $3 	"Golden coin, shot through. Someone was pretty unlucky, but one man's bad luck is other's gain!"
 	Dead Man's Hand 	Increases max HP by 15
Sneaking is less efficient by 25%	"Cut clean from previous owner.
It still moves slightly, trying to catch anything."
 	Eyeballs 	Increases effective range of ranged weapons by 5 meters	"Who carries a pair of eyeballs in their pockets? Seriously, why?"
 	Necklace with Fangs 	Increases max stamina by 50%
Sneaking is more efficient by 25%	"Worthy of a true hunter.
Just wearing it makes you feel invigorated.
Time to go for some hunting!"
 	Vendigo Heart 	Regens 1 HP per 8 seconds
Reduces max HP by 10%
(Effect does not stack)	"Twigs and small branches are growing out of this heart. It's similarity to a human heart is uncanny. When you hold it in your hand, the branches seem to slowly move towards your skin.
Vendigo's anatomy is not explored much, for obvious reasons, but this piece of weird flesh was torn out of something you could call a stomach. Is it actually Vendigo's heart or a heart of a poor bastard Vendigo ate?"
 	Soul Catcher 	Increases max stamina by 50
(Effect does not stack) 	"Work of a skilled artisan. Holding it makes you feel lighter.
Indian craftsmanship at it's best is said to able to catch a soul - while it remains a unproven folktale, the owner of this Soul catcher can run for much longer than usual."
 	Mystical Scalp 	Increase max HP by 30%
Increase time of bleeding by 25%
Increases chance for bleeding by 25%
(Effect does not stack)	"Scalp from some unlucky human. Underneath it you can spot a few weird symbols, their meaning unknown.
No sane man would keep this around. And yet, the stench of old blood is almost... welcoming."
 	Calumet 	Gives a 50% chance for Spirit attacks to miss 	"Also known as peace pipe, this hand crafted piece of art is precious and has potent magical properties as well."
 	Old Faithful 	When using revolvers:
Headshots regain 5% HP
Lessens weapon sway when aiming by 100%
Increases effective range by 5 meters
Damage dealt is increased by 20%	Worn and dusty hat. Days of its glory are long gone by. Yet it's still useful and retains something of its previous owner. Wearing it makes you feel calm and focused, ready for anything. Maybe even a bit reckless.
 	Second Skin 	Increases max stamina by 50
Increases stamina regeneration by 50%
Sneaking is more efficient by 25%	A pair of shoes, made from--you are certain of it--human skin. Seems like another work of the local tribe of madmen, but far more refined. Wearing it makes you feel invigorated, ready for a thousand miles walk that awaits you.
 	Death Stalker's Heart	Regenerates 1 HP per 5 seconds
Increases resistance to acids by 30%
Increases max HP by 15	Even though you have seen similar hearts before, you're still dazzled by how much it resembles human heart in shape. And the fact that it's still beating, methodically and persistently. Green leaves maybe are a suggestion that those Death Stalkers are another step of Vendio's evolution. How would a fully mature, blooming one look like?
 	Corrupted Brain 	Increases experience gain by 25%
To take off: die or use purple revival	A bloated and definitely corrupted old brain. It's disgustingly soft to the touch. Something tells you that two brains may enhance your cognitive functions. But are two brains really better than one when on one person?
 	Heart Medallion 	Healing effects increased by 50%
To take off: die or use purple revival	A small heart-shaped medallion decorated with a green gem. You feel full of vigor when you put it on. It's almost like you've never died. There's no way you can say goodbye to that feeling, right?
 	Chicken Feet Necklace	Ethereal enemies won't attack on their own
Killing ethereal enemies gives 200% more experience
Ethereal enemies deal 50% more damage	A bunch of chicken feet, held together with a string. You have heard from few people about the superstitions that allegedly wearing such a necklace protects you from angry spirits. Who knows, maybe it will work.
 	Tentacle Cyst 	Increase movement speed by 15% while in water
Regenerates 1 HP per 10 seconds while in water
Increases stamina regeneration by 25% while in water	A nasty and slimy piece of flesh. Holding it makes you want to dive into the nearest body of water and never put your foot on dry land again.
 	Giant Leech 	Bleeding deals 40% less damage
If bleeding: increase your damage by 25%
If bleeding: increase your accuracy by 25%	A big, slimy leech, constantly twisting and turning toward your veins.Allowing it to bite into your flesh, oddly enough, seems to have some positive effects. But then again, you have a giant leech enjoying you as its meal.
 	Face Scalp 	Resistance to damage increased by 20%
Worse prices at shops by 20%
To remove: die or use the Purple Revival	A human face which has been skillfully torn off from its previous owner.Slightly rotten. The stench is almost unbearable, but you feel safer while wearing it.<brIt probably won't make you very popular among others, though.
 	Rougarou's Tongue 	Rougarous won't attack unprovoked
Killing Rougarous gives 50% more experience
Rougarous deal 50% more damage	A hard, fleshy tongue, torn out from some unfortunate Rougarou.Wearing it in a visible place should serve as a deterrent to any other beast of this kind, who otherwise might have considered sinking their teeth into your flesh.
 	Crimson Brooch 	Value of this item is increased by $5 per killed enemy
Death restores base artifact values
(Note: Both effects only occur while the Crimson Brooch is equipped)	A finely crafted gold brooch with a big ruby in the center.The longer you stare at the crimson gem, the stronger bloodlust you feel.Like a river slowly eroding the earth, all shackles are torn and a single urge remains.
 	Odd Skull 	Increases Maximum HP by 20%
Increases maximum Stamina by 20%
Increases experience gain by 20%
On death: applies a curse	A skull of some creature.
Due to the passage of time and the damage it sustained, it is impossible to tell whom or what it once belonged to.
When attached to your belt, it seems to have an invigorating effect, but something tells you that you will pay dearly for it.
And that you won't wriggle out of it when it's time to pay.
 	Perforated Heart 	Increases maximum HP by 20
Regenerates 1 HP per 6 seconds
Immediately stops bleeding if Stamina is full
Immediately starts bleeding if Stamina is lower than 15%	A human heart with a surplus of holes.
It does not beat, but feels slightly lukewarm.
Of course, that doesn't make holding it in your hand any bit less ghastly.
When having the heart equipped, your wounds start to open when you become tired.
 	Corrupted Liver 	If drunk: increase maximum HP by 40%
If drunk: increase maximum Stamina by 40%
If drunk: increase Stamina regeneration by 40%
If drunk: applies bleeding effect
Can't be removed if drunk	A badly damaged liver. It is corrupted and has strangely colored stains.You can make an educated guess that its previous owner enjoyed a drink.Somehow you crave alcohol now. A lot of it.
 	Ace of Diamonds 	Headshot Damage Increased by 20%
If Another Ace is Equipped: Headshot damage is increased by 30%	Good to have one if you need to win a game. Or two. What if you managed to find all four aces?
