Equipment
Items that can be equipped in Regnum Online include Weapons, Armour, Rings and Amulets. Equipment can be obtained from PvE combat drops, as rewards for quests, or from merchants in cities.
Durability
Equipment has a Durability score that gradually decreases as a player is hit in combat. Equipment must be repaired at a merchant before the durability score reaches zero, or the item is destroyed.
Quality
Equipment can be one of six qualities (in ascending order):
- Defective
- Worn
- Common
- Enhanced
- Superior
- Master
The quality of a piece of equipment cannot be improved through repair; it is an innate attribute of the item. The item's quality can impart a penalty (worn or lower) or bonus (enhanched or higher) during use. Common items have no penalty or bonus.
A defective or worn item can usually be equipped at lower level than if its quality had been common or higher (thus imparting some advantages of a higher level item in spite of the penalty).
