Classless
Classless items are those Possessions and Artifacts that do not contain have an Item Class listed on the card in the type bar. Such cards are useful in that you can put as many of them on a single character as needed, with no regard to a limit like you would with items of any other item class.
Some early cards appear to have no class, but play to the Support Area. In later sets (beginning with The Return of the King), such cards instead had the Support Area Class as a shorthand for this behavior.
Rules Entries[edit]
Some possessions and artifacts do not have a class. There is no limit to the number of cards without a class that a character may bear.

Below are a list of all Artifacts and Possessions which lack an item class. This information is not terribly useful, as there are no cards in existence which only affect this particular type of item, but there are many which affect "Possessions" in general.
