Item System in Runes of Magic

Frogster Interactive released details about the Item system in Runes of Magic.

Besides a solid training, adventurers need to be well equipped to survive in Taborea. Most important are adequate clothes and a good weapon to be prepared for the dangers of the game world of Runes of Magic. But of course the different classes of the ambitious fantasy online role-playing game have individual requirements and possibilities.

Warriors and Knights equip themselves with heavy metal armor and can choose from heavy weapons and two handed swords and axes.

Scouts and Rouges prefer more flexible leather armor suits or light robes and long-range weapons like bows or throwing weapons and lighter close combat weapons.

Mages and Priests in contrast have trust in the powers of their mind while in battle and use staffs and wands. In contrast they take great pride in their appearance and are well groomed because glorious robes are very popular.

Besides such important equipment it's the potions, resources for the crafting skills and diverse fighting goods which fill the backpacks in Runes of Magic. Some Items are
important for quests while others are exhausted after a single use or give the player a benefit for a longer time.

Clothes and Armor

There are many different types of clothes and equipment for your online adventurers in Runes of Magic which cover your character from head to toe. In the cloakroom there are lined jackets, light stuffed shoes, leather armor, hoods, silk robes, armor gloves, feathered hunting hats, belts and many more goods. Real heroes can also equip themselves with countless different armor from the four categories; cloth, leather, chain ring and metal rings.

Anybody should find something that fits them. But when it comes to the choice of armor it's not all about fashion. While heavy metal plates offer good protection against physical attacks it's easier to avoid magical attacks with lighter robes. Again and again there are armor sets which are not only optically harmonized but also award much more bonuses the more parts of the armor you are wearing. In Runes of Magic players can customize and change the coloring according to their own wishes. Therefore every character has the possibility to impress the population of Taborea through their clothing and equipment.

Weapons

Also the shelves of the arms dealer in Runes of Magic are well filled. From simple clubs to handy daggers and elegant long swords made of glimmering steel to massive two handed war axes. There is a very large selection of close combat weapons. The less and lighter the weapon is, the faster it is to control. Two handed weapons are slower but are able to deal much more damage to the target. Long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows are the favorite of the scouts while rouges use throwing weapons. But both classes have to make sure to carry along a sufficient supply of projectiles with them. Many weapons aren't available for all the classes for free use. Especially mages and priests, as they don't have the constitution to haul such heavy metal gear across the game world.

Trinkets, magical items, food and potions

In addition to the characters' equipment, players in Runes of Magic 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. 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 manna 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 to survive in Runes of Magic. To be able to restock in a peaceful moment, players may learn how to cook or brew potions themselves.
