Editing Equipment System (section)

= Equipment System in Ragnamex Hardcore =

__TOC__

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 ==

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.

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! 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 ==

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.

{| class="wikitable"
! 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 ==

In addition to Tiers, gear can also come with a '''Grade''', which affects the value of its random stats (called '''Traits''').

{| class="wikitable"
! 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 ==

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) ===

📘 '''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) ===

🌀 '''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) ===

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) ===

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 ==

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 ==

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.
