What is the Item World?
The Item World is the world inside all items. There are many troublesome "Residents" dwelling inside the Item World that it might be best to subjugate. Be careful, though, because some are quite strong. If you don't level up before challenging them, you will probably face a humiliating defeat.

To enter the Item World of an item you have equipped, you must first unequip that item. Keep in mind that you cannot take that particular item with you because you are going inside of that item. Don't forget to equip something in its place.

Leveling Up Items
With each floor that you clear, the item will gain a level. The farther down you go, the stronger the enemies become. You can only exit the Item World after every 10th floor. Make sure that you are prepared before entering.

Find the Specialists!
There are good Residents, too. They are called "Specialists". If you press ? at the Item Status Screen, you may see a job title such as "Gladiator" or "Sentry" displayed on the screen. That means that somewhere in that Item World there are Specialists with those particular jobs - Specialists that can raise the ATK and DEF stats of the item. When you encounter them in the Item World, they act as neither friend nor foe. If you are able to defeat them, they will submit to Laharl and power up the item they inhabit.

Moving Residents
Once you defeat Specialists, you can move them from one item to another, transferring their abilities/bonuses too. There is a limit to the size of the population for each item, however. When transferring Specialists, you cannot exceed this limit. If, for instance, the description of an item reads "Pop. 5/12", that means that currently there are 5 Residents living in the item, and the item can hold a maximum of 12. The population limit is determined by the item's "Rarity".

Combining Residents
When the population reaches its limit, you can combine Residents to make more room. Select "Combine Residents", and then choose an item. Combining Residents only works when more than 1 Specialist of the same job are inhabiting a particular Item World. Doing so will allow you to reorganize your Residents and further power up an item, as new Residents can be moved in By repeating this process you can make powerful items.

Rarity
The rarer an item (the lower its Rarity), the more valuable it is. The rarest items are called "Rares" and "Legends". Rares and Legends are powerful items that allow for large populations. Their Item Worlds also have more floors than normal items, which means their levels can be increased higher. They are extremely handy to have.
