* Items in houses can experience item decay, even if they are in a box or buried beneath layers of trash.
* Items on player characters will decay. Some notable items experiencing item decay are:
* Enigmatic Voodoo Skull. This item uses item decay to transform back into Mysterious Voodoo Skull after 20 hours.
* Flower Pots. These flowers use item decay to change into a dry state. The withering of flowers is also a form of item decay.
* Blue Note. This quest item vanishes after 24 hours of activity.
