Shop Tags are the Tags seen on Shop Items in Steamlands. Tags are seen on the bottom left corner of the image of the Item, and are represented by a small image and the level of the item. The level of the item goes from level 1-3, although some items go only to level 2, rarely level 1. Tags are placed on all shop items, except for Gossip. There are several different types of Tags used throughout Steamlands. All items have at least one Shop item, although the Zeus, Catherine, Infestor, and Dragoon have no Shop Item. The Zeus lacks an item as it is already very powerful, while the Catherine, Infestor, and Dragoon lack shop items as they were not made for the original Steamlands levels, but for fans to use them in their own levels.
Tags
Below are the Tags, there image and a template showing all items that have that Tag.
Damage
Damage is a Tag used by mostly Gun Shop Items, although some other non-gun items use them. The icon for the Tag is a silver rocket going diagonally up. Almost all items in this category do not go up to level 3, most not even passing level 2. The Saboteur Damage Rate 1 has been put into this category due to the "Damage Rate" tag being used only once in Steamlands. The item increases the shot damage of guns.
