Equipment

Equipment is any item able to be worn or used by the player to augment their base stats. This includes weapons, armor, and accessories.

Weapons
There are 5 main types of weapons: sword, axes, bows, daggers, and rods.

Swords
Swords specialize in high Strength bonuses, medium Dexterity bonuses, and medium Vitality bonuses. They are best suited to a character with a reasonable set of armor and a fair amount of health.

Axes
Axes provide more powerful Strength bonuses than swords but at the cost of Dexterity. This makes them slightly less accurate, but landed hits are much stronger. This would best fit a berserker-type playstyle with a high amount of health and, optionally, a high base Dexterity stat.

Bows
Bows provide a medium-to-high Strength bonus and a large Dexterity bonus. Most also include a small Focus bonus, which is relevant for using [|Magic]. Players who want to output a large amount of damage with decent accuracy would do well to get a bow.

Daggers
Daggers provide a large Strength bonus, moderate Dexterity and often a small amount of Agility or Magic. This can be beneficial for characters who are going with a mixture of physical and magical attacks.

Rods
Rods provide a large amount of Magic and Mana, with some bonuses to Resistance, Focus, and Magical Evasion. Very rarely do they provide Strength, so you will be relying on magical abilities to do the bulk of your damage. This can be beneficial, in that magical abilities seem to scale damage somewhat more effectively than physical abilities.

Obtaining Equipment
It is possible to obtain equipment as rare drops through fighting monsters. Your character will gain an ability through leveling that increases this chance when active. More often than not, however, you will be visiting cities for your equipment until much later levels when you are capable of fighting high-level monsters that drop better gear.

Enchanting
Weapons can be enchanted to gain benefits beyond their initial stat bonuses, but this will often require 50,000+ gold and 40+ Magical Elements. For more information on enchantments and how to obtain Magical Elements, visit the Enchantments page.
