Equipment
Grappling Hook
Grappling Hook is a very important equipment. It allows you to climb to a higher level or go down a rope.
Typically made of three or more metal hooks attached to a length of rope. Grappling hooks are normally thrown into an inaccessible area in the hopes of snagging something that will allow adventurers to gain access to said area via the rope, completely ignoring the fact that the area may be inaccessible for a very good reason. It is also important to keep in mind that one should hold the end of the rope when throwing the grappling hook so as not to lose the whole device.

Lockpick

Dragon's Bile Bomb
Dragon's Bile Bomb will allow you to burn Burnable Barrier Doors to open the passage. It can also be used as a Trinket, a grenade that you throw at opponents.
No longer made from actual dragon's bile, this magically concocted substance becomes as hot as lava when it comes into contact with the air. Handle with care.

Use it as a Trinket. Very effective area weapon.
Triangular spikes meant to stop any enemy in their tracks. A mouthful can shut up any bard.
Healing Potion
Use it as a Trinket. You can heal a single hero both during and off the battle.
