'Fixed' is a general term used to indicate an item that has been rustproofed, fireproofed, corrodeproofed, or rotproofed, depending upon which is applicable to the item, to prevent [[erosion]]. When used in a [[wish]], the game will substitute in its place the term that fits the item, thus relieving the casual player from trying to remember which material the item is made of. 'Fooproof' is a similar term that also means protection from all the kinds of erosion, but the game does not recognize it.

Fixed is a synonym for any form of erosion-proofing, and is generally used as such to refer to items when wishing for them (because the game uses only one bit for erodeproofing or fixedness, they are all internally equivalent). The term fooproof is also used, but the game does not recognise this.

Originally, fixed referred to crysknives; a fixed crysknife will revert to a worm tooth when dropped only 10% of the time.
