Identification Kit

Summary
The Identification Kit is used to identify items. Double click on it to use, then single click on any identifiable item to learn its properties or to unlock a rune contained in that item. Identifying items also raises their sell value to the merchant. Even if an item is not declared unidentified, you can still use Identification Kits ("ID kits") to identify them, usually boosting the item's sell value to merchants by a small amount of gold.

Quest items and certain other items, such as the Unique Items available in the Divine Path are not identifiable.
