Items which should not be picked up.

If you do find any of these items on bodies, please just leave them. There is an intermittent bug in Sphere which occasionally negates the item's newbied status when the monster carrying them dies.

Possession of these items will be considered rulebreaking.

Weighted gloves.

Shields with Insignia and armour from Dark Knights.

Frostman weapons.
(ICly they melt when humans try to hold them.)

Full Spellbooks from Frostman Shamans.
Spellbooks from spellcasting monsters.
(Would you really want to rely on them being newbied anyway, since you were able to pick them up off the monster body?)

The masks labled 'Goblin' off goblin bodies.
(Those are ICly their real faces, so if you want to cut them off and wear them, well...)

Body parts, unless from an event where a GM has specifically given permission for a human body to be cut up.

Equipment thus gained from cutting bodies is also illegal, since the body in such a case would have been placed by staff as decoration.

Cage markers. These are a coin named 'a Cage', which acts as a marker when a GM creates a cage around a player.

Equipment specific to a given group, like the OotSS Serpent Shields or Paladin shields, unless

• 1) it comes from a quest reward (exceedingly rare, I know of one case ever).
• 2) you are a member of that group.

Anything that's clearly placed as a decoration but not locked down correctly, such as in the case of the named plate armour in Shame. If you find something like this, please page.

Blue items from Carpentry and Bowcraft. These are produced by a bug. Page to get a GM to recolour them back to normal. Note that the colour isn't always blue either - brown and black have been reported on a test server.

Hopefully no longer possible, but just in case:
Ranger and Dragonscale armour off female barbarian warriors.
Secret doors off some monsters.
