27 There are multiple sources of items in-game, though they can be broadly split into 3 distinct categories:

41 === 1.1.1 - Looting ===
42
43 Looting involves the player obtaining items through an interaction with an actor that can provide a UI. Looting relies on 2 things:
44
45 (% class="table-bordered" %)
46 (% class="active" %)|=Element|=Description
47 |Loot Data Table Entry|An entry in the Loot Data Table, that will define the items, quantities, and weights
48 |Loot Component|A custom component that defines the type and entry used for the loot, as well as allowing the player to interact with the target for Looting
49
50 Once these elements have been set up, the process of Looting a target follows these steps:
51
52 1. (% class="mark" %)**Calculation**(%%)
53 The game calculates the loot based on the target's loot table and the PC's Looting level. These items are added to the Loot Inventory.
54 1. (% class="mark" %)**Display**(%%)
55 The Loot UI and the PC's Inventory UI are both displayed.
56 1. (% class="mark" %)**Transfer**(%%)
57 The player moves items from the Loot Inventory to the PC's Inventory. The opposite can also be done.
58 1. (% class="mark" %)**Completion**(%%)
59 When the player is done, the UI can be closed. If there are still items left within the Loot Inventory, then the actor can persist. Otherwise, depending on type, it can be made to instantly de-spawn.
