Items

Items that can be obtained in Buddy Simulator 1984. An item is categorized here as anything that can be added to your inventory in-game. Items can range from usable items outside of combat such as "The Sword" and "The Lantern". To items that can only be used if a party member equips them. Below is a list of every item as well as how to obtain, possible uses outside of battle, their effects, examination text, and sprites if they have any.

When equipped, the player's sprite is changed to wear an eyepatch over their right eye. Barry requires the player to wear the eyepatch to progress to the docks, stating "Would you look at that! You own an eye patch too! If that's not a sign of a real pirate, I'm not sure what is. Whelp, anyways, you've earned my trust, friend. Come on through anytime you'd like!" Barry will then lower their head and allow the player to walk on the planks. After a few steps are taken, the eyepatch snaps off and falls into the water, and the player's sprite reverts to normal. Buddy remarks "Huh, no wonder they were free!", implying they were made of a cheap material.
After the initial meeting with Barry and wearing the eyepatch, the player no longer requires the eyepatch to be worn to cross the docks.
