 ==Item Manipulation==
-Item manipulation is more than just simple pushing and pulling, though oftentimes you can and should do so. You can also turn, touch, tap, and do any number of emotes toward objects. (A list of emotes can be found within [http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?q=EMOTELIST HELP EMOTELIST]) Often, you may also DROP/PUT an item on the ground or another object, or TAKE/GET an item from the ground or another object. Containers can hold items within themselves, such as backpacks and satchels. For example, to put a journal within your pack - assuming you have both in your possession - simply PUT JOURNAL IN PACK. To remove it, you can GET JOURNAL FROM PACK. You cannot PUT an item on the ground, but you can DROP it there. Contrariwise, you cannot DROP an item into another item, but you can PUT it there.
+There are many commands for interacting with items in Achaea, some of which are required to make an escape from the pygmies in your very first adventure. These commands work for both items you can hold in your [[inventory]] or wield in your hands, like a vial or a sword, and permanent fixtures, such as a fountain or a locked chest, which are too heavy to pick up.
-Journals, such as the one we just took back out of our pack, can be READ, as can many other objects in the realms, such as books, signs, and plaques. If the object has multiple pages, you can READ <object> PAGE <number> You may be able to WRITE within an object, using the same syntax as READ, if you are the author of the item. (See [http://www.achaea.com/irex/helpview/help.php?q=JOURNALS HELP JOURNALS] for more information)
+The item manipulation commands include:
+*GET - Gets something from the ground or a container.
+*DROP - Drops an item. DROP 50 ASH vs. DROP ASH.
+*GIVE - Give an item to another being, like GIVE 5 CHOCOLATE TO DAVID. For gold, always use the amount: GIVE 1000 GOLD TO JANE.
+*PUT - Put an item in something. PUT GOLD IN PACK or PUT 5 JOURNAL IN PACK.
+*EX, EXAMINE - See what a creature looks like, or how tough it is.
+*P, PROBE - Information about something and what's inside it.
+*BREAK - Destroys certain fragile items.
+*KNOCK - Indicates your presence on one side of a door.
+*LIGHT - Firecrackers, Pipes, and LOTS of other things!
+*SMELL, TASTE - Food, drinks, elixirs, and sometimes other things.
+*READ - Letters, books, signs, posters, plaques, inscriptions, etc.
+*WEAR - Wear an item that you hold.
+*REMOVE - Remove an item that you are wearing.
+*WIELD - Wield an item. WIELD LEFT or WIELD RIGHT for handedness.
+*UNWIELD - Cease wielding an item.
+*POINT - POINT <thing you are holding> AT <who or what>.
-The most common action performed on an object is to PROBE it. Probing details more information on the item than you might notice at a glance, such as its weight, physical description, et cetera. You can also WIELD an object that is in your possession, and THROW it if you are so inclined.
+Six basic commands which could be useful almost anywhere depending on the object are: PULL, PUSH, RING, SHAKE, TURN, and TOUCH.
+Adventurers who wear [[weapon holders]] or a backstrap to hold their shield, can use the following commands:
+*SHEATHE- Sheathe a weapon.
+*DRAW - Draw a weapon from its respective holder.
+*DRAW STRONG - Draw a weapon from its respective holder with a flashy slash.
+*DRAW SALUTE - Draw a weapon from its respective holder in a salute.
+*LASH - Lash a shield to a backstrap.
+It is possible to THROW a wielded object. [http://www.achaea.com/game/helpview/achaea/throwing HELP THROWING] explains more about this method for interacting with items.
