Go here for a complete list of items.

Items are either Charged, Consumed, or Persistent:

Charged Items
Charged Items have a set number of charges. Once those Charges are used, the item disappears. You cannot recharge Charged Items.

Consumed
Consumed Items disappear after one use.

Persistent
Persistent items always stay around until you drop them.

Hero Items in your Hero's Inventory
Left-click on an item to use it.

Right-click on an item to pick it up so that you can drop it. You can also rearrange items in your inventory by right-clicking on an item to pick it up then left-clicking on the square you wish to place your item in.

There are no item requirements
Clothing Items such as Boots, Rings, and Cloaks do not display on our Hero unless the item causes some sort of magical attack or spell. Your Hero does not actually "wear" these items. There are no limitations on how many of these items you could have. You could, for example, have 4 pairs of boots.

You can have multiple copies of the same item so you can have the same item six times.

Hero Item Locations
Hero items mainly come from Creeps but they can also be bought at Neutral Buildings or sometimes be found by destroying special buildings in single player.

Trading Hero Items between player or Allied Heroes
Heroes can trade items by simply dropping them on the ground. Once an item is on the ground anyone else can pick it up and use it, including your other Heroes, Enemy Heroes, or Ally Heroes.

Hero Death
When Heroes die, their items go with them. Heroes resurrected at the Altar come back with all of the items they had before.

Enemy Hero Items
You cannot see the items of enemy Hero Units unless the item gives some noticable effect. You can use Replays to see what items the enemy Heroes had after the game is over.

Item Management
Item Management becomes more important when you have more than six items. You might want to bring in additional Heroes to pick extra items up so the enemy does not get them or you can destroy them. If you have six items and a Tome, drop one of the items you are carrying, pick up and use the Tome, then pick up the item you dropped. Do not leave items around for enemy players to pick up.
