2.a. Class, Equipment, and Elemental Synergy Regulations

Equipment Regulations


General


Each character has the following slots: Head, Body, Weapon, Earrings, Necklace, Ring, and Relic. These slots can be filled with a single item. Upon purchasing, the item will be added to your profile, and clicking on it will result in getting directed to the shop entry to prove it and of course to make it easier for us all to see what someone is wielding.

Equipment is separated into three categories: Unlimited, Limited, and Custom.

Unlimited pieces can be purchased multiple times, are cheaper, but offer few perks.

Limited pieces can only be purchased a certain amount of times depending on their rarity, are typically more expensive, and have unique perks.

Custom pieces are uniquely made pieces that a user receives directly.

It is not allowed to wield the same limited item more than once despite its availability.

Prices and Availability


The general shop forum is where the user may make their purchases.

Rarity Prices
Common 250,000J
Rare 500,000J
Unique 1,000,000J
Legendary 2,500,000J
Mythic 5,000,000J

Unlimited equipment from the shop costs 50% less than the listed price excluding unlimited companions. The reduction does not stack with any other discount.

The shop has a capped discount of 50%.

Discounts do not apply to the thematic section of the shop.

Limited items can be held by multiple people depending on their rarity as follows: Rare (4), Unique (3), Legendary (2), and Mythic (1).

Customs are excluded from this and can only be held by the receiver regardless of the rarity.

Resell and Refund


In case the user has items that they no longer wish to use, they can refund or resell that item depending on the circumstances.

Reselling and Refunding can be requested in the Resell & Refund review.

The user must state which item or magic it is that they wish to refund or resell. A moderator will remove the item from the profile, post a stamp confirming the resell or refunding of the item.

Purchases may be refunded for their original purchase amount for the first 48 hours unless the purchases are used in a topic.

Users may refund up to two items, these include items, magics, and companions, per month for the full amount. Items resold or refunded may not be purchased again for two months.

Purchases from the Point Shop can not be refunded or Resold.

In the event that an item, magic, or something is adjusted, members may apply for a complete refund equal to the amount they purchased it for.

Users never get more than what they paid for an item. This means that if it was purchased at a discount because of an event or a class, it will be 50% of the discounted price.

Durability


The durability of an item is reduced when physical or magical damage is applied to it. The damage can be from the user's own or another individual's physical attacks or spells, this excludes spells from the item itself.

All equipment, with the exception of weapons, has a minor physical resistance, while shields have an additional minor magical resistance.

Unarmed Physical Attacks are reduced by one tier against all forms of equipment including weapons, with the exception of physical attacks that require unarmed contact for an effect to apply.

Headgear takes damage before earrings. Armor takes damage before rings and necklaces. Relics are protected by either headgear or armor, depending on where they are worn. An example would be taking damage from an AoE to the head which reduces the durability of the headpiece first, however, if it breaks the leftover damage goes to the earings.

Items do not need to be repaired between topics. Even upon complete destruction in one topic, the item is restored and repaired for use in another topic.

Wielding


Two-handed weapons can be wielded in one hand if the user's base Strength is at a certain minimum. The required Strength is different based on the rarity of the weapon and are as follows:

Rarity Minimum Base Strength
Common 30
Rare 60
Unique 120
Legendary 250
Mythic 500

Intelligence does not affect the mana cost of spells associated with items.

The damage mentioned on a Weapon is added to the user's strength when dealing damage using the weapon. Any attribute boosts mentioned in the bonus section of an item affect the user's overall attributes.

In the event that the user drops or breaks their equipment in roleplay, any spells attached to the equipment that was being sustained will be canceled, and all previously used spells that have gone into cooldown will still remain in cooldown.

Weapons can not be used to block any spell, Shields meanwhile are capable of stopping single target spells causing the spells to apply the effect on the shield if applicable.

When using weapons to block other weapons, they will both receive the damage equal to attack.

The elemental alignment of a weapon affects its interactions with other elements (except for Arcane). If a weapon clashes against something that is considered inferior in the elemental interaction against the elemental alignment of their weapon, the damage of the weapon is considered one rank higher for that specific interaction. An example would be a Darkness-type weapon hitting a Nature-type item or spell (Darkness > Nature). A spell could be a Nature-type summon, or a Nature-type defensive wall. Since weapons cannot be used to defend against Offensive-type spells, it would not apply to that, however, the weapon would receive one rank less damage from it. See below.

If a weapon clashes against something that is considered superior in the elemental interaction against the elemental alignment of their weapon, the damage of the weapon is considered one rank lower for that specific interaction. An example would be a Nature-type weapon hitting a Darkness-type item or spell (Nature < Darkness). Another example would be a Water-type sword getting attacked by a Fire-type spell which would result in the damage received from the Fire-type spell being reduced by one rank (Fire < Water).


In general, this means that when a Darkness-type weapon clashes with a Nature-type weapon, the damage of the Darkness-type weapon is increased by one rank, while the damage of the Nature-type weapon is decreased by one rank An example would be both weapons dealing B-rank damage against each other normally based on the strength of the users and damage of the weapons, however, in the clash against each other the Darkness-type weapon deals A-rank damage and the Nature-type weapon deals C-rank damage.

Users can only use a spell attached to an item that is at most two ranks higher than themselves. Though, Adventurers may cast item spells up to three ranks higher than themselves.

Weapons and Shields can be wielded in either hand, so long as they comply with any restrictions on the item itself, the user's class, or others.

Customs


Customs are carefully made items, magics, and companions for characters. They can be obtained through a variety of means including events, storylines. Users also receive a free legendary custom after completing their first 250 roleplay posts and submitting a claim in the character review section.

Eligible item types for Customs include Weapons, Shields, Armor, Helm, Necklaces, Rings, and Relics.

Customs are always retained by the individual even if they go inactive, however, at staff's discretion, a similar item may be made if they do for the community to purchase.

Should the user sell their Custom, they will receive 50% of the value equivalent to the rarity of the custom.

Selling the custom will result in it being shelved for use.

Misc.


The user can't use additional mana provided by items to continue Transformations longer than what they would have been able to with their total base mana. If the user has 500 mana, a 10% mana cost transformation would cost 50 mana per turn and only last up to the original 500 mana.

Item spells do not benefit from perks or bonuses unless they explicitly mention them.

Reward modifiers from multiple pieces of equipment using the same field can not be used to stack the effect with only the highest being used.

Characters are able to recognize Thematic items from their respective countries of origin, and know its abilities once they correctly identify the item. This also applies to Mysterious Merchant items that are described in the lore as coming from specific countries.
