Codex and Grimoire Overview

Outlands offers numerous player-crafted PvM progression items linked to specific skills that significantly enhance the performance of certain builds. These items follow a few core principles:

All codex and progression items are blessed and cannot be stolen. The experience tied to codex and progression items is associated with the character rather than the item itself. These items are freely tradeable and can be sold to other characters; however, the experience does not transfer along with them.

As long as a player meets the minimum requirement of 80 printed skill and carries the corresponding codex or progression item, they can utilize multiple codices or progression items simultaneously, such as combining a Codex of Fencing with a Poison Kit. Players can gain full experience for multiple codices or progression items in parallel. The associated bonuses from these items will be applied as long as any listed conditional requirements are met, such as using the proper weapon, having a poisoned weapon, or remaining stationary.
