Equipment

Preface

To equip armor of a specific rarity tier, you need to increase your "Armor" mastery. For weapons or magical instruments, you must increase the weapon or magic that let you equip them. If you are equipping an item that you don't have enough mastery to use, you simply do not gain their stats, the game won't stop you from equipping these items.

Although you have a limited number of equipment slots, you can have as many equipment as you want in your inventory.

You cannot trade weapon, magical tools, or armor for gold or give them to other players. You can only trade them away.

Equipment Slots

Arms 2 slots	You can wield two weapons, one weapon or a magical instrument, one 2-handed weapon, or two 2-handed weapons if you have Heroic Might.
Armor 5 slots	Slots: Head, chest, hands, legs, feet. Heavy Armor has low mobility, but high defense. Medium Armor has low defense, but high mobility. Light Armor little defense, but magic boost and energy regeneration.
Accessory 3 slots	Slot: Cloak, ring, and amulet. Alternatively, you can equip 2 rings and an amulet or 3 rings. Use the Armor mastery to determine if you can equip an accessory of a particular tier.

Rarity

• For Armor and Accessory, look at Armor, a core Mastery, to determine what you can equip.
• For weapons or magical instruments, look at your highest magic mastery.
• Junk items you start with or find in the first couple days of playing. OOC-wise, they do not get added to your inventory; they are simply pretend items.

Obtaining Equipment

NPC Shops	Outside of event reward, all players should be buying their equipment from NPC shops in the marketplace.
Special Vendors	You will also be able to purchase unique equipment via special vendors that appear after a story event, raid, world boss, or dungeon.
Loot	You can sign up to do Challenge or Treasure Chests to obtain loot. These are often very difficult and will put your character's life at stake.

Buyback

When you purchase an item from the marketplace that replaces an item in your inventory, you may sell the defunct item back to the shop for 20% of its original price.

Trading

You can exchange ANY items with other players, provided the 2 items being traded are of the same rarity. E.g. An Exquisite Ring can be traded for Exquisite Gloves. Read the template in this forum to get started.
