Item types should be incorporated into the item descriptions when in stores and the Ppwn Shoppe. At first glance when I first unlocked the stores, I didn’t know the difference between Under the Bridge and Illegalities. Next to the item names, it should have what kind of item it is.

It sucks not knowing what items I can/can’t buy because I have an item for that slot already.

Examples:

Geek-Chic™ – Equipment (Glbumes)

Smileprin XR™ – Consumable

PruneBook™ – Equipment (Computers)

Motherboard – Junk

I don’t that’s too great of an idea. In most basic RPG’s, you can’t equip three helmets. Sure, FW could have certain clbumes where you could equip multiple items at the same time (which probably would be the Special Items category). For the most part, however, you should be able to know what category your item belongs to before you buy it.

It’d help newer players make purchases easier as well, since they know not to buy an item in a category that they already have used up.
