Oldgrizz: I can't seem to figure out how to use the quick items. In the game manual it says click on them with the mouse. I've tried double clicking on a item and it moves back to the characters inventory. When in combat these items are available, its after combat that they seem impossible to use. Am I missing something here, any help would be greatly appreciated.

TrollumThinks: Some items are combat only (like potions),
others, like food, are available all the time.

Single clicking on them in the quick-slot bar (on the main game screen, not in inventory) will work - if they're greyed out, try mousing over one and seeing if it says 'Combat only' in red on the info window
