→Magic Items
Most magic items that affect monsters, affect all the monsters as a group. If the item should damage a single monster, a cursor appears over the player casting the spell. Move the cursor over the monster to be affected and press the '''SPACE BAR'''. Note: Some magic items can be used more than once, but you cannot tell how many uses a magic item has.
====Treasures====
Throughout the quest, your party has the opportunity to find various treasure items in the rooms of the dungeon. These treasures can be found in vaults, treasure chests, or just lying in a room. However, you must be prepared to fight monsters to be able to take the treasures. The following are the types of treasures to be found in the ''Quest of the King''.
=====''Gold''=====
When gold is found in a room, it appears as a pot of gold. Gold is carried by the party, not individual players. The amount your party has is displayed on the Party Report and at the General Store. Gold is used at the stores, at living statues (see "Living Statues"), and during monster negotiation. Note: The amount of gold at the end of the game partially determines the level of victory.
=====''Armor/Shields''=====
Armor found in rooms appears as a suit of armor, regardless of the specific type of armor it is. Shields appear as a shield. If these types of treasures are found, you are asked to enter the player's name who is to receive the item. If this player cannot use the item, an error tone sounds. Remember that each player can wear only one suit of armor and carry only one shield.
If you give this item to a player who already has a shield or a suit of armor, you are asked to give one of these items away. The list of items for the player appears on the display. Press the number corresponding to the item you wish to give up and press '''ENTER'''. Next, you are asked to whom to give this item. Type the name and press '''ENTER'''. If you want to drop the item instead of giving it to someone, just press '''ENTER'''. (Dropping an item may cause it to be destroyed. If this should happen, a warning message appears, giving you time to change your answer. If the item should be destroyed, you cannot retrieve it even if you should need it later in the game.)
=====''Weapons''=====
All hand weapons that are found as treasures appear as swords. All ranged weapons appear as bows. Finding weapons is similar to finding armor and shields. You must designate to whom to give the item. Each player can carry only two weapons. If you give the weapon to a player who already has two weapons, you are asked to give one up and give it to another player. Follow the same steps as in "Armor/Shields."
=====''Maps''=====
In ''Quest of the King'', maps are essential to be found. Your party cannot descend to another floor without the map of the floor they are on. To see the map after you find it, press '''M'''. The map appears, showing the explored areas in black and the unexplored areas in blue.
====Options====
Throughout your quest, your party encounters various options along the way. All options appear in rooms except fountains which appear in both rooms and hallways. When you come across an option, you have the choice of leaving it alone, or trying to open it, as is the case with treasure chests and vaults. The four options listed below can be either beneficial or detrimental to players.
