+====== Identification ======
+**Identification** is the process of discovering the properties and effects of unidentified items in Remixed Dungeon.
+==== Unidentified Items ====
+  * Most items found in the dungeon are initially unidentified
+  * Unidentified items have uncertain effects when used
+  * Unidentified items show as generic placeholders in inventory
+==== Methods of Identification ====
+  * [[rpd:scroll_of_identify_item|Scroll of Identify]] - Identifies a single item completely
+  * [[rpd:scrolls|Scroll of Knowledge]] - Identifies an item and provides additional information
+  * Using an item reveals its properties (but consumes or degrades the item)
+  * [[rpd:shopkeeper_mob|Shopkeeper]] identification in shops
+  * [[rpd:alchemy|Alchemy]] can reveal item properties
+==== Item Classes That Need Identification ====
+  * [[rpd:potions|Potions]] - Color reveals the type after identification
+  * [[rpd:scrolls|Scrolls]] - Title reveals the type after identification
+  * [[rpd:rings|Rings]] - Gem and properties revealed after identification
+  * [[rpd:wands|Wands]] - Type and remaining charges revealed after identification
+  * [[rpd:armor|Armor]] and [[rpd:weapons_mechanic|Weapons]] - May have hidden [[rpd:enchantments|Enchantments]] or [[rpd:armor_glyphs|Glyphs]]
+==== Strategy ====
+  * Save [[rpd:scroll_of_identify_item|Scrolls of Identify]] for valuable items
+  * Identify [[rpd:potions|Potions]] and [[rpd:scrolls|Scrolls]] before critical use
+  * Identify [[rpd:weapons_mechanic|Weapons]] and [[rpd:armor|Armor]] to reveal hidden properties
+  * [[rpd:rings|Ring of Haggler]] provides one free identification for rings bought in shops
+==== Risks ====
+  * Using unidentified items may have harmful effects
+  * Cursed items activate their curse when used or equipped
+  * Some [[rpd:potions|Potions]] and [[rpd:scrolls|Scrolls]] have dangerous effects
+==== Related ====
+  * [[rpd:items|Items]] - All items that can be identified
+  * [[rpd:scrolls|Scrolls]] - Items that aid identification
+  * [[rpd:shops|Shops]] - Places where items can be identified
+  * [[rpd:enchantments|Enchantments]] - Properties revealed through identification
+  * [[rpd:armor_glyphs|Glyphs]] - Armor properties revealed through identification
+==== Content Verification ====
+  * Information source: [[https://github.com/NYRDS/remixed-dungeon/blob/master/RemixedDungeon/src/main/java/com/watabou/pixeldungeon/items/Item.java|Item.java]] and [[https://github.com/NYRDS/remixed-dungeon/blob/master/RemixedDungeon/src/main/java/com/watabou/pixeldungeon/items/Heap.java|Heap.java]]
+  * Identification mechanics verified against actual game code
