Dragon Age: Origins eGuide Essentials Equipment

Usable Items

Anything you can craft, and many of the crafting components, can be considered usable items. The most common ones are health poultices and lyrium potions (Herbalism), poisons from Poison-Making, and trap kits from Trap-Making. Click on the item and you gain the effect, using up one of the item in the process.

If you use an item often, add it to your quickbar/shortcut for easy access. Something that early adventurers may not be aware of is that crafting reagents also have effects if used directly. For example, Deep Mushroom restores 10 stamina, while Lifestone gives +10 nature resistance for one minute. In general, though, if you plan on crafting, hold off on the small one-time reagent effects to gain the larger effects from crafted items.
