Props

**Props** (or **Accessories**) are Cosmetics that can be carried on the player's back and then equipped and used in various ways. The current Prop is selected in the right-hand Outfit Shrine.

The Props Outfit Shrine has two tabs:

* The Harp icon is used for the Instrument tab. Most of these are musical Instruments, but it also includes several non-musical held Props (items that can be equipped in your hands and used, but can not be placed on the ground).
* The Chair icon is used for the placeable Props tab, which includes all items that can be put down, including in Shared Spaces.

Even though these items are split across two tabs, only **one Prop** can be selected at a time.

As a type of Prop, all musical Instruments are included on this article. However, there is also a separate article with music-specific characteristics of each Instrument, as well as information on how to play music.

## Placeable Props

Most non-Instrument Props are placeable, meaning that when you select the item from the Expression Menu, it is placed on the ground in front of you. If you hold the item's icon and drag it, you can choose where to place the item. If you are in mid-air when you select the Prop, it is placed, floating, in the air in front of you. You can land on the floating Prop (although some skill is required to land on smaller Props).

In addition, all placeable Props can be used to decorate Shared Spaces. You must have purchased at least two different placeable Props before you are allowed to create a Shared Space. Many of the placeable Props are purely decorative. The Days of Love Gondola can only be placed in water, so it can only be used in Shared Spaces with water (Treasure Reef, Treehouse).

## Available Props

This table lists all the Props have ever been available in Sky; only a small subset of them are available for purchase at any given time. The default order is icon order, as used in the in-game Props Outfit Shrine. The table sort order can be changed by clicking on the header of any column. The # column indicates the number of that item that can be placed at one time in a Shared Space. The last column provides the Prop type and purpose:

* Instrument: a musical Instrument (non-placeable)
* Held: used for all other (non-instrument) non-placeable Props
* Placeable: any item that can be placed on the ground or used in Shared Spaces
* Chat: an item that allows players to chat with each other; the number of players who can sit and chat at one time is provided in parentheses.
* Light: an item that provides light AND allows players to recharge their energy.
* Covering: an item that can protect players from the rain.
* Decoration: an item that has no useful purpose. This includes lights that do **not** recharge player capes.

## Trivia

* Some Props are visible on Ancestors but have never been available to players. These include:
	+ The pot on the backs of the Rejecting Voyager, Elder of the Prairie, Troupe Greeter from the Season of Rhythm, and one of the Secret Area's Spirits. The pots may carry butterflies that maybe presumed to recharge the player or give a boost.
	+ The spear that the Cat Spirit from the Secret Area previously had on their back (now replaced by the Fireworks Staff), along with the one the Elder of the Wasteland wields.
	+ The small hammer held by the Slumbering Shipwright and the Elder of the Forest.
* The Props closet was reorganized in the 0.18.0 Patch. The Necklaces (which had previously been in the Props closet) were moved to the Masks closet. The Props were separated into two tabs, and the order of the icons within each tab was reorganized.
