Equipment System
Equipment System in Ragnamex Hardcore[edit]
In Ragnamex Hardcore, gear progression plays a vital role in a player's journey. While the game uses the classic Ragnarok Online foundation, its equipment system is heavily inspired by World of Warcraft and roguelike elements — where gear is lost on death. This makes item management, power scaling, and risk assessment central to your survival.
Equipment Categories[edit]
Equipment is classified into named sets based on their source. These categories define how and where you can acquire certain gear, ranging from simple vendor items to legendary crafted equipment.
| Equipment Set | Source |
|---|---|
| Forsaken's | Trash loot from low-level monsters |
| Vendor's | NPC Shops |
| Adventurer's | Quest rewards |
| Slayer's | Mob drops |
| Sentinel's | Gear from faction/intendant vendors |
| Artisan's | Basic crafting recipes |
| Explorer's | World treasure chests |
| Warden's | Dungeon mob drops |
| Master's | Advanced crafting |
| Luxuriant's | Cash shop equipment |
| Chamber's | Dungeon treasure chests |
| Champion's | Boss drops |
| Legendary's | Legendary-level crafted gear |
Tier and Player Level Ranges[edit]
Each piece of gear also belongs to a Tier, which indicates the level range in which it is usable. Higher tiers are more powerful but also more difficult to obtain.
| Tier | Suggested Player Level Range |
|---|---|
| Tier I | Level 1 – 8 |
| Tier II | Level 8 – 22 |
| Tier III | Level 18 – 34 |
| Tier IV | Level 30 – 46 |
| Tier V | Level 42 – 60 |
- Note: * Any equipment type listed above (like Slayer's or Explorer's) can appear in any tier depending on the strength of the enemy or location. For example, a weak monster may drop a Tier I Slayer’s Blade, while a strong dungeon mob could drop a Tier IV Slayer’s Cleaver.
Grades and Stat Scaling[edit]
In addition to Tiers, gear can also come with a Grade, which affects the value of its random stats (called Traits).
| Grade | Stat Quality Example |
|---|---|
| No Grade | +2 POW / WIS |
| Grade D | +3 ~ +4 POW / WIS |
| Grade C | +4 ~ +5 POW / WIS |
| Grade B | +5 ~ +7 POW / WIS |
| Grade A | +7 ~ +11 POW / WIS |
Higher grades offer better trait values, making even the same item significantly more powerful depending on its roll.
Traits (Random Stats) Explained[edit]
Each piece of gear may contain Traits, which are randomized stat bonuses that enhance your performance. Here’s a breakdown of the most important ones:
🌀 WIS (Wisdom)[edit]
📘 What does WIS do?
🔹 Extends the duration of ALL buffs and debuffs ⏳ 🔹 Enhances buff effects — with high WIS, certain skills may be doubled! 💪🌀 🔹 Improves magical shield resistance 🛡️🔮
🎯 Who benefits most from WIS?
✔️ Support characters maximizing blessing uptime 🩷 ✔️ Debuffers who want longer negative effects 😈 ✔️ Spell tanks who value magical durability ⚡

⏱️ HST (Haste)[edit]
🌀 What does Haste do?
🗡️ Increases Attack Speed (ASPD) 🔹 Scales with AGI and DEX. 🧘 Boosts SP regeneration ⏱️ Reduces fixed casting times 🔥 Reduces intervals of DoT (Damage-over-Time) skills 🧊 Reduces cooldowns of skills

💥 POW (Power)[edit]
Today we're breaking down the "Pow" attribute — a crucial stat for all playstyles.
1. Increases final damage 🔹 The higher your Pow, the more total damage you deal. Can even double your output!
2. Enhances healing 🔹 Support skills heal more with high Pow.
3. Reduces final damage taken 🔹 Essential in PvP and boss fights.

🎯 CRT (Critical)[edit]
CRT boosts your chance to land Critical Hits, affecting:
✔️ Physical skills and attacks: +100% damage ✔️ Healing skills: +100% bonus ✔️ Offensive spells: +50% bonus
Equipment Examples[edit]
To better illustrate how the system works:
- Forsaken's Bandana I [NA]
⮞ A low-level item dropped from weak mobs. No grade, no traits.
- Legendary's Bandana of Havoc V [A]
⮞ High-level crafted gear with max tier and grade, tailored for level 60. Carries powerful traits like +8 POW, +8 WIS, and more.
Summary[edit]
Ragnamex Hardcore rewards players who explore dangerous areas, challenge stronger foes, and engage with the crafting system. Understanding how Tiers, Grades, and Traits interact will be key to surviving — and thriving — in a roguelike world where every piece of gear can make a difference.
