In order to discover what these items really are, the player character must find a specialist to show these items to, in order to get them identified, usually at the cost of a small fee per item.
A fourth type of item, '''data storage devices''', are recognized immediately but have unknown contents. To identify these, you must use the right equipment.
== Meds ==
Unknown [[meds]] are described by shape and color, and may be shown to a '''meds shop''', for a fee of [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''10''' per item.* Any character with the '''[[Character traits|Druggist]]''' trait can identify any med they see automatically.
== Mushrooms ==
Unknown [[mushrooms]] are described by color and smell, and may be shown to either a '''meds shopstreet kitchen''' or any [[hakutaku]] character. The meds shop identification fee is [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''0.10''' per item. Prices from a hakutaku should vary depending on occupation and willingness to help, but usually range between free and * Any character with the '''[[File:Parallar symbol.pngCharacter traits|10pxMycologist]]'''50''' per item at the GM's discretiontrait can identify any mushroom they see automatically.
[[Jewelry store|Jewelry stores]] may provide both services. Identification is '''free''', but appraisal always costs [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''10''' per item.
* Any character with the '''[[Character traits|Jeweler's Eye]]''' trait can identify (but not appraise) any gemstone they see automatically.
It is possible to sell gemstones that haven't been properly identified or appraised, however this comes with caveats:
* Selling an '''identified but unapppraised gem''' will result in your buyer assuming that this gemstone is of the lowest quality possible. E.g. an identified but unappraised lapis-lazuli can be sold for [[File:Parallar symbol.png|10px]]'''35'''.
* Selling an '''appraised gem''' will net the exact value listed.
== Data storage devices ==
When finding unknown [[computers|data storage devices]] in the UA, they may contain useful data. The contents of a device are unknown until you bring them to one of two appropriate devices:
* A [[library]] computer
* A [[Crafting items#Laptop|laptop]]
Identifying a data storage device is free as long as you have access to a suitable computer. If you don't have a laptop, you can use a library computer, which is free (but accessing the library is not; you will have to pay the entrance fee).
