The income is not reserved for a particular town. Seven hundred fifty is not the item’s price; a map offer follows separate acquisition rules.

- Daily gold
- +500 / day
- Reference pickup tier

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Copies stack under the fheroes2 reference, unlike repeated movement boots. Identical artwork does not imply that every equipment family follows the same stacking rule.
Stacking copies and distinct types
- Daily gold: Every copy’s contribution adds.
Practical use
An early cheap pickup can pay over many days. A 2,000-gold example needs four payments, making it less valuable on the final day than before early recruitment.
Where to compare it in practice
Conditional uses and multiple profiles to compare. Links establish neither item owners nor guaranteed starting inventory.
Economy and reinforcements
For a safe carrier and remaining daily payments into the shared treasury.
Transferring the item does not pay another daily receipt, and gold is not creature growth.

When it fits: Protect a formation where a forced attack into allies would be costly.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
- Immunity: Berserker
- Yes
- Reference pickup tier
- 1
- Carrier inventory
- One of fourteen shared slots
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Protection is tied to the specific Berserker effect. Control loss through another spell, such as Hypnotize, uses a different protective item.
Stacking copies and distinct types
- Immunity: Berserker: Effect presence matters; additional copies do not intensify the same protection or restriction.
Practical use
Protect a formation where a forced attack into allies would be costly. Sensible positioning remains useful even when Berserker is blocked.

The source’s ten means a 0.1 multiplier rather than ten percent off. Ordinary baseline is 0.5. Diplomacy uses its own combined calculation; the result rounds to nearest gold with a minimum of one. Temporarily resurrected members are excluded from the base.
Stacking copies and distinct types
- Surrender without other modifiers: Identical copies do not repeat; distinct applicable types multiply sequentially.
Practical use
Reserve actual surrender funds. The item does not permit surrender against every opponent, and a cheaper exit is still not a victory.

- −50%
- Drawback · Spell Power penalty
- −2
- Carrier inventory
- One of fourteen shared slots
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Protection belongs to that two-spell branch rather than automatically covering Fireball, Cold Ray or Lightning Bolt. A duplicate adds no second halving, but its negative Spell Power contribution can stack. The alchemist removes it.
Stacking copies and distinct types
- Incoming damage: Storm / Armageddon: Identical copies do not repeat; distinct applicable types multiply sequentially.
- Spell Power penalty: Every copy’s contribution adds.
Practical use
Before an area-magic battle, weigh army protection against weaker casting. A duplicate can worsen the drawback without adding corresponding protection.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
The revision removes Helmet, Sword and Breastplate of Anduran and inserts one Battle Garb, reducing three slots to one. It gives no five Knowledge. Town Portal still needs the carried spell source, book and mana rather than unlimited free travel.
Stacking copies and distinct types
- Attack: Every copy’s contribution adds.
- Defense: Every copy’s contribution adds.
- Spell Power: Every copy’s contribution adds.
- Hero Morale: Effect presence matters; additional copies do not intensify the same protection or restriction.
- Hero Luck: Effect presence matters; additional copies do not intensify the same protection or restriction.
- Item-granted spell: Identical copies do not repeat; distinct types with this effect add.
Practical use
Concentrate components on a hero using both physical and magical benefits. A maximum Morale indicator does not override a creature’s Morale immunity.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
The revision evaluates range with ⌊√(dx² + dy²)⌋ ≤ 8 rather than an unrestricted 17 × 17 square. Detailed information respects fog of war; the Ball does not replace full map revelation.
Stacking copies and distinct types
- Detailed information range: Effect presence matters; additional copies do not intensify the same protection or restriction.
Practical use
Move the scout into actual range before committing to battle. Use detailed counts and composition to change the army or route rather than merely opening another popup.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Assess benefit and drawback together. Armageddon follows another branch and is not covered merely by the fire name. The item contains a curse and is removed by the alchemist.
Stacking copies and distinct types
- Incoming damage: Fireball / Fireblast: Identical copies do not repeat; distinct applicable types multiply sequentially.
- Vulnerability: Cold Ray / Cold Ring: Identical copies do not repeat; distinct applicable types multiply sequentially.
Practical use
Counter a known fire plan while considering an enemy switch to cold. Ice Cloak can apply its own multiplier to incoming cold damage.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
The expansion adds a specific opposing weakness rather than universal resistance. Identical Heart copies do not repeat these percentage types. Alchemist removal also takes this mixed-benefit item.
Stacking copies and distinct types
- Incoming damage: Cold Ray / Cold Ring: Identical copies do not repeat; distinct applicable types multiply sequentially.
- Vulnerability: Fireball / Fireblast: Identical copies do not repeat; distinct applicable types multiply sequentially.
Practical use
Use it against an identified cold threat. Carrying both Hearts can cancel opposing halves and doubles through multiplication, subject to integer rounding.

It strengthens magic rather than Knowledge. Assembly also needs Sword and Breastplate of Anduran; the helmet alone grants no Town Portal.
Stacking copies and distinct types
- Spell Power: Every copy’s contribution adds.
Practical use
Use stronger magic while still collecting components. Time delivery of the remaining pieces so the main hero need not make an unnecessary return.

- Hero combat casting
- Disabled for both sides

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Either attacking or defending commander can activate it. The reference revision handles creatures’ built-in spells separately, so this hero-casting restriction does not disable them. Adventure magic outside battle is not automatically covered.
Stacking copies and distinct types
- Hero combat casting: Effect presence matters; additional copies do not intensify the same protection or restriction.
Practical use
Use an army that can win without its own hero casting. Include the loss of Cure, revival and control otherwise needed.

Adds ten percentage points to effective Necromancy when its conditions are met.

- Necromancy contribution

Post-battle raising requires learned Necromancy. The artifact contributes one to the shrine-bonus count, capped at seven contributions overall, with final Necromancy capped at 100%. Another identical spade adds no contribution.
Stacking copies and distinct types
- Necromancy contribution: Identical copies do not repeat; distinct types with this effect add.
Practical use
Give it to a winning necromancer and check room for Skeletons. Compare raised troops with your own losses rather than seeking otherwise unfavorable fights.

Where to compare it in practice
Conditional uses and multiple profiles to compare. Links establish neither item owners nor guaranteed starting inventory.
Economy and reinforcements
For a carrier with Necromancy after an eligible victory; assess the skeletons actually gained.
This is neither passive daily income or full resurrection of a destroyed army nor teaching Necromancy to a hero lacking it.
