NetHack defines several '''elven items'''. They are listed below. The weapon damage figures are copied from [[weap-343.txt]], the armor class figures are from [[armr-343.txt]].

You can use the above list to identify if any item is elven, except for the elven boots. All runed weapons are elven except for [[Stormbringer]] and its base weapon, the [[runesword]]. Basic runeswords are never randomly generated.
 
 
 
Elven items have a reputation for high quality. (Those crude [[orc]]ish items have the opposite reputation.) For example, the elven dagger does more damage than a normal dagger. Elves also make the blades themselves, rather than merely the hilt, from [[wood]] (others are [[iron]]), so elven daggers and swords will never become [[rusty]] or [[corroded]], but they might be [[erosion|burnt]] or [[rotted]]. These properties suggest they may be either made of or at least inspired by [[D&D]]'s [http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Ironwood ironwood].
 
 
 
As an exception, the [[dwarvish mithril-coat]] gives one more point of AC protection than the elven mithril-coat; however, the elven coat can be [[scroll of enchant armor|enchanted]] two points higher than the dwarvish equivalent without the risk of item destruction, for one net point of superior protection.
 
 
 
Elven armor can be safely enchanted if its current enchantment is +5 or less, compared to +3 or less for most other armor.
