Magic items are special objects that can be acquired through a variety of means. Most commonly, they are dropped at random by Creeps. They can also be purchased at the Goblin Merchant's shop. Occasionally, treasure chests are also found lying unguarded on the map. Only Heroes can use items. Certain other non-Hero units can also pick up, store, and carry items for Heroes, but they cannot use the items. To pick up an item, simply right-click on the item with your unit capable of carrying items, who will move towards the item and place it in its inventory card.

Each Hero can carry a maximum of six items. Certain Non-Heroes can carry up to two items. The Orc Kodo Beast can carry 4 items. Read further down the page for a list of item carriers. Once an item is in your Hero's inventory, you use it by left-clicking on it. If you wish to drop an item or move it to a new space in your inventory card, you must right-click on the item. Some items require you to select a target before they can be used. Other items are automatically discharged when you left-click on them.

There are also keyboard shortcuts for quickly using your Hero's inventory items. The number keys on your keyboard's number pad correspond to the six slots on your Hero's inventory card. Pressing one of these numbers will automatically use the corresponding item. Numbers 7 and 8 represent the top row of items; numbers 4 and 5 represent the middle row of items; and numbers 1 and 2 represent the bottom row of items.

Single-player quest items, or items that have been disabled in multiplayer are not listed in this guide.

There are five types of magic items that can be found in Warcraft III: Charged, Consumable, Power-ups, Permanent, and Artifacts.

Charged Items
These items can be used several times before they disappear. The number of charges the item has is displayed in the bottom right corner of the item's inventory picture. Each time you use the item, it depletes one charge until none are left, and it disappears from your inventory. You cannot recharge Charged Items. [See a list of items]

Consumed
These items can be used only once, at which point they disappear from your inventory. Potions of Health are consumable items. Most Consumable items do not require a target. They simply act on the Hero who uses them. Consumed items are also considered Charged Items for item dropping purposes. They just have only 1 charge. [See a list of items]

Power Ups
These items are automatically used when a Hero picks up one of these items. There are two categories of Power Ups: Tomes (permanent stat improvements) and Runes (temporary effect). [See a list of items]

Permanent
Permanent items never disappear. For most items, to cease receiving benefits from a persistent item, a Hero must drop it from its inventory. Permanent items do not require a target to be used, and give a persistent benefit to the Hero that wears it. Staves are items that require a target and have a cooldown before the item can be used again. But they have unlimited uses. [See a list of items]

Artifacts
Artifacts are any exceptionally powerful items, namely items of level 7 or higher. They are rarer than other items. [See a list of items]

Level
The levels next to the items are connected to what items are allowed to drop by what Creeps. This might be explained in more detail in the future.

Some level 0 items are sold in Neutral Buildings or player-built shops.

Single-player Quest items are not listed. 'AE' means Area Effect.

Hero Items on the Ground
Select a treasure (Hero Item) while it is on the ground to see what it is.

Hero Items in your Hero's Inventory
Left-click on an item to use it.

Right-click on an item to pick it up so that you can drop it. You can also rearrange items in your inventory by right-clicking on an item to pick it up then left-clicking on the square you wish to place your item in.

There are no item requirements
Clothing Items such as Boots, Rings, and Cloaks do not display on your Hero unless the item causes some sort of magical attack or spell. Your Hero does not actually 'wear' these items. There are no limitations on how many of these items you can have. You could, for example, have 4 pairs of boots.

Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne Walkthrough - GameSpot

You can have multiple copies of the same item so you can have the same item six times. The effects of some items do not stack such as Boots of Speed or Cloaks of Shadow.

Hero Item Locations
Hero items mainly come from Creeps, but they can also be bought at Neutral Buildings or sometimes be found by destroying special buildings in single player. They can also be bought at player-built shops.

Trading Hero Items between players, Allied Heroes, or Units
Heroes can trade items with other friendly Heroes or item holding units by simply right-clicking on the Hero Item to pick it up, then left-clicking on the Hero or item carrying unit you want to give it to. If you find a cool item that would be useful for an allied Hero, walk up and give it to them! You can also click on the Hero's Portraits to give items to them. Pick up the item and drop it on the Hero's portrait. This will instruct the Hero or unit to give the item to that Hero. You cannot trade power-up items.

Hero Death
When Heroes die, their items go with them. Heroes resurrected at the Altar come back with all of the items they had before.

Unit Death
When Units carrying Items die, they drop the items on the ground where they died. This is in contrast to Heroes which do not drop the items when they die.

Enemy Hero Items
You can see the items of enemy Hero Units by selecting them.

Hero Items sold at Neutral Buildings and Player-built Shops
Items are sold at 50% of their base price.

Item Management
Item Management becomes more important when you have more than six items. You might want to bring in additional Heroes or units to pick extra items up so the enemy does not get them or you can destroy them. Do not leave items around for enemy players to pick up.

Normal Unit Item Carriers
The following units can also carry up to two items:

Humans: Footman, Knight, Sorceress, Priest, Spell Breaker, Rifleman
Orcs: Kodo Beast (4), Shaman, Witch Doctor, Raider, Grunt, Spirit Walker
Night Elves: Mountain Giant, Druid of the Talon, Druid of the Claw, Archer, Huntress, Dryad
Undead: Ghoul, Abomination, Banshee, Necromancer, Crypt Fiend
Hero Item Rules
  • Hero Items have 75 hit points. Attack and destroy any items you cannot carry rather than leaving them for the enemy.
  • Each item only takes one space in the inventory. There are no items that take more than one inventory space.
  • Items are not race specific, and there are no restrictions on carrying them.
  • You cannot lose items in a Hero's inventory, and other players cannot steal the items unless they are dropped from a regular unit.
  • Heroes will not consume health or Mana potions if they are 'full.'
  • You can destroy items by attacking them.

Secret tower level

In the third Human mission, where you need to escape a prison with the Elves, there is an entrance to a secret level. Around the horizontal center of the map, there is a winding corridor with several rooms you need to go into in order to get the power-ups and equipment. Look closely around the middle of the map to find a room. You need to bust through a door to get inside. The room has three different colored sheep surrounded by energy. In front of them are push-panels. When they are pushed, the corresponding sheep will say either 'Bah', 'Ram' or 'Ewe'. Push the panels in the following order: Bah, Ram, Ewe. You will get a door to a secret tower defense level after that mission.

Secret Orc level

Select the 'Custom Campaign' option at the menu, then choose the 'Exodus Of The Horde'. The game wukk launch a screen with the selection of the first level. This extra campaign takes place after Thrall leaves Lorderon, but before Kalimdor.

Grank The Rat

In the fourth Night Elf mission, Wrath Of The Betrayer, at the top left side of the map is a small garden and a fountain that only Maiev can visit. Use your Blink-spell to get to it. In there, you can find a rat with the name 'Grank the Rat', which has 100% Evasion and Spell Immunity. Therefore, you cannot kill it. Also in the Night Elf mission where you have to escort the runner to the escape point, in the upper left corner of the map near the escape point is a creature named 'Grank the Rat', who cannot be killed by normal means. In order to kill Grank, you must continuously click on him until he explodes. He will drop a Talisman of Evasion which supplies a 15% evasion rate.

The Pandaren Brewmaster

Play the Night Elf mission where you have to escort the runner. In the lower left corner in the very back of the map is a Pandaeran relaxation area. A Brewmaster is here. He will spout some gibberish and drop Slippers Of Agility.

BloodFeast The Abomination and The Zombie Master

On the Undead mission, The Flight From Lordearon, you can re-summon a Zombie Master and BloodFeast the Abomination near the end. On this mission you find a Staff of Animate somewhere (not hidden). You will find a room with Necromancers summoning something, and a few enemies such as Ghouls and Crypt Fiends. Kill them, then go on the pile of where the Necromancers were summoning and use the Staff to summon a Zombie Master for sixty seconds to help you fight. BloodFeast the Abomination can be summoned the same way.

Giant Penguin

In the fourth Undead mission, The Return To Nothrend, you will find a giant penguin in the left corner on the island that you started on. Kill the guarding sea lions and destroy the tent so you can approach it. Then, kill the penguin itself. You will get a Ring Of Superiority. A normal penguin will spawn next to it. You can kill it, but it will not give you anything.

Hidden items

Destroy huts, tents, or other homes. Some of them will have hidden items such as Scroll of Town Portals, Potions of Mana, etc. Pick them up for later use.

Drunken Panda picture

Successfully complete all the levels in the 'Secret tower level' to see a picture of the Drunken Panda along with what seems to be his daughter. Then in the next chapter, you can use him to help.

Guard names

In the prison mission, you will find various humorously named guards, such as one called Trogdor. It is interesting that he is burninated almost immediately after you see him. Other guards will have names like Seth, Marcus, or Troy.

Diablo reference

Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne Secrets Pc Game

In the last Human mission, Lord of the Outland, where you need to assault the Lord's castle, you can find the Butcher and Wirt's other leg (from Diablo) just northwest of where you start. The Butcher will also say the same sentence, that he did in Diablo, 'Fresh meat'.

Warcraft 3 reference

In the first Undead mission, King Arthas, you can find Little Timmy from the original Warcraft 3. He is in the woods, left of the town which is northwest of the three Altars. Little Timmy will sell you some Ice Shards, which are useful both later in the game and the campaign.
