History Main / StandardRPGItems

* An item which cures all status effects. Usually rare and/or expensive at the start of the game, but becomes trivially easy to stockpile by the end.

* Horns of Life in ''EarthBound'' and Cups of Lifenoodles and Secret Herbs in ''EarthBound'' and ''{{Mother 3}}''.

* ''DragonAge: Origins'' had mages drink Lyrium Potions for restoring mana, and everyone could [[DidNotDoTheResearch drink poultices for restoring health]] (a moist cloth bandage. As some lines from characters low on health ask for bandages, perhaps either the animations or the naming of poultices were a discrepancy that never got fixed.).

* The ''DragonQuest'' series has magic water, and more recently, sage's elixirs. Prayer rings also restore MP, but have a limited number of uses.
* The ''EarthBound'' series has plenty. ''EarthBoundZero'' has PSI Stones, ''EarthBound'' has Bottles of Water, PSI caramel, Magic Truffles, and others, and ''{{Mother 3}}'' has magic pastries.

In addition, most RPGs feature a WarpWhistle and/or EscapeRope to allow quick travel/teleportation to or from towns or dungeons.

* ''[=~Pokemon~=]'' plays this straight; the sequel includes berries which can be attached to {{Mons}}, to activate as soon as they are needed.

* The MagicStone item in SagaFrontier

* ''SkiesOfArcadia'' has boxes that cast spells. Rather than having a number of charges, boxes have a chance of breaking every time they're used.

* ''SagaFrontier''

* An item which cures all status effects.

* Full Heals and Lum Berries from ''[=~Pokemon~=]''

* Refreshing Herbs from ''MarioAndLuigi''

* Peppers in ''MarioAndLuigiPartnersInTime''

** In some games, certain monsters will take damage or suffer instant death when a certain status-curing item is used on them. For instance, using a Golden Needle / Soft Potion on a stony or statue-like monster in ''V'' will hurt it, as a helpful {{NPC}} will tell you.

* Rock Candy in ''SuperMarioRPG''

* The ''[[PaperMario Mario [=RPGs=]]]''

* Tasty Tonic from ''PaperMario''

* Various types of cake and mushrooms in ''PaperMario''.

* Life Shrooms from ''Paper Mario''

* The Dizzy Dial, Fire Flower and POW! Block, among others, from ''Paper Mario''.

* The Power Punch, Courage Shell, and Repel Cape, among others, from ''PaperMario''

!!Examples of monster repellants
* Repel and Super Repel from ''Pokemon''.
* Golden Feathers from ''FinalFantasy''
* Lucky Ribbons from ''Golden Sun''
* The Holy Bottles in the ''TalesSeries''. Also inverted in Dark Bottles, which attract monsters.
* Some monster repellants can be equipped to constantly reduce encounter rates, such as the White Map in ''SkiesOfArcadia''. From the same game we also have the Black Map, which increases encounter rates.
* Sweet Water in ''{{Lufia}}''
* Protect Ball in ''PaladinsQuest''
* The Fright Mask (''PaperMario'' and ''The Thousand-Year Door'') could scare away some weaker enemies during battle. The "First Attack" and "Bump Attack" badges could clear weaker enemies in the field.
* Holy water from the ''DragonQuest'' series.

* An item which wards off low level RandomEncounters.
** Less commonly, an item that ''increases'' the amount of RandomEncounters.
*** And in a few cases, [[EncounterBait items that call up a random encounter on the spot]].

*** And in a few cases, items that call up a random encounter on the spot.

* Pokedolls (from ''Pokemon'', natch) have the same effect as Roar or whirlwind. The equippable item Smokeball guarantees an escape from battle if the pokemon holding it is battling.

* Full Heals from ''[=~Pokemon~=]''

** Also, you can throw cream pies monsters, with the CreamPieInTheFace temporarily blinding them. TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything.

* ''TheElderScrolls'' series tends to have diverse items; although potions are most often of the restoring kind, it's possible to create potions and enchanted items with (almost) ''any'' effect, provided you can find 2 (often rare and expensive) materials with the same effect (and such a pairing may have a negetive effect appear twice, applying it to the potion), down to summoning an InfinityPlusOneSword from {{Hammerspace}}.

* An item which heals both HP and MP, usually up to the max of both. Often an unpurchasable rarity, in which case see EmergencyEnergyTank.

*Elixers and Megalixers from ''FinalFantasy''. Megalixers actually heal all of the party members currently in combat.
