Trinkets & Magical Items
In addition to basic equipment, the heroes also have access to rings, amulets, earrings and talismans. Those items often offer some additional resistance or bonuses. Every class may wear trinkets without any restriction.
Food and Potions
When one is well fed, they can fight much better. An adventurer who has eaten some tasty fish or bread will receive a bonus for a limited time. In addition, players may purchase magical potions from Alchemists which regenerate health or mana faster. Those are especially essential during fights. Those helpful items are of course consumed quite fast during fight intensive adventures. A regular restocking in a nearby village may be in order, but one who learns how to cook or brew potions can provide these items for themselves.
Attributes & Runes
Nothing lasts forever and whoever cherishes his equipment may do well to assure its durability does not drop too low, otherwise it may become unusable. A regular visit at a craftsman might be a good idea. Items have a ranking system, where high level objects are mighty but rare indeed. Some items tend to have magical properties, adding to different character attributes like wisdom, dexterity or strength or even enhanced damage, attack power and defense. Some others grant the wearer special resistances, for example protection against elements like fire or water.
Other equipment may have one or more sockets, which can be used to draw the power of runes into the item. The tier of the rune however, may not exceed the tier of the equipment. Additional bonuses may be obtained by using magical crystals which players may use on their weapons and armor. With those they can power up their items and gain beneficial attributes. This power may be added multiple times to increase the power level and even gain a glowing aura. Though the success is not guaranteed – sometimes nothing happens when attempting and if one has a bad day the power level may even be lowered instead of increased.
Merchants
You should also keep an eye on your items to make sure they are actually usable for your class or current level. Useless equipment and many tools which are hauled back after an adventure may be turned into sparkling coin at the merchant.
One can also find auction houses in Taborea, where witty characters can sell items to other players. This would be the right place, especially for craftsmen or friends of special equipment who want to get a certain profit from their special item.
