Items

*"STUFF. STUFF IS GOOD. STUFF MAKE ME STRONG! BUY STUFF." - The Red Knight*

**Items** provide bonuses to the player by increasing the damage of Monsters or value of Skulls, affecting Orbs, or adding extra functionality to the game.

## Acquisition

Items can be acquired from chests and crafted in the Forge.

Red and Blue Chests can be found as a reward from Scrolls that drop after destroying buildings, which require then watching a short ad video afterwards. They can also be bought with White Orbs at a starting price of 5 and 10 Orbs (respectively), doubling the amount of Orbs required after each purchase.

Gold Chests usually contain unique items. Three flying versions can be found on the world map, each giving a hat for Bob to wear when taking selfies.

Chests can also be obtained by defeating bosses.

## Monster Items

The effects of the nine Monster-specific items are identical. A **Common Zombie horde's Eye** will give 20% to the Zombie Horde's DPS; a **Common King's Collar** will give 20% to the Tomb King's DPS.

The effects are:

## Common Items

Other than those items, there are six others that can be obtained in Common/Uncommon/Rare form, but not with stars.

## Key Items

The key items are vital for progress in the game, hence they must be acquired in order to be able to access various features of the game.

## Unique Items

Unique items come from special challenges or Events. They have only one rarity (unique) and can be only obtained once. Event items, which have been missed, can be found in the Item Dump.

### Event Items

Event Items can be obtained for free during the events. All items from temporary challenges missed by a player can be bought at the Item Dump for Diamonds.

### Crossplatform Badges

There are 3 special badges in the game

Each one is awarded for playing Zombidle on the corresponding platform.

They may be combined in the Forge to create a more powerful Ultimate Badge which doubles the orb drops.

#### Bugs

* After crafting the Ultimate Badge, players could log in on all three platforms again to get 3 (Web, Steam and Mobile) badges back while keeping the Ultimate Badge.

The default Ghost limit is 20, however it can be raised to 70 by obtaining  Sauce Sized Necroware,  Sandwich Sized Necroware and  Cookie Jar Necroware from the Item Dump or more than 100 if you obtained several  Rotten Necroware Jugs during certain weeks of Bounties.

* 3 ghosts for Ectoplasm
* 9 ghosts for the Ball
