Equipment
The equipment system is divided in three main categories, including weapons, armours and other items (which is the largest category and regroups all items not included in the first two groups).
To insure consistency between items, it is important to follow some simple rules. Each item will have some base damage, which can then be improved based on a few factors, including the material, the level of expertise of the creator, the craftsmanship (some races are expert in fabricating specific type of items) and the level of enchantment. The expertise of the user/bearer can also improve the statistics of the item.
Below are included an overview of the base statistics for some items, as well as a summary of the bonuses provided by each factors (most factor has 4 levels).
