Equipment

Equipment
There are 4 different armor classes and 9 different weapon classes, not counting sub classes, or unarmed combat.

The formula for defense gained from armor is 10 + (required proficiency * .3)

Heavy Armor
Heavy armor pieces provide a block chance, even if they are not shields. Heavy armor, however, also reduces agility and causes mages to fizzle their own spells. Heavy armor is the 2nd cheapest, but heaviest.

Adamantine > Guardian > Warlord > Dragon > Steel > Silver > Iron > Bronze > Copper > Chain > Wood > Leather

Light Armor
Light armor pieces provide a chance to continue movement while attacking, and increases your Dexterity. However, Light armor still causes mages to fizzle their own spells. Light armor is the 2nd lightest and cheapest.

Mithril > Samurai > Titanium > Rune > Eleven > Blood > Gladiator > Viking > Berserker > Desert > Pupil > Cloth

Stealth Armor
Stealth armor pieces greatly increase agility. Stealth will still cause mages to fizzle their own spells. Stealth armor is the 2nd heaviest, and most expensive.

Black Leather > Kingly/Regal > Sneak/Assassin > Lackluster/Swindler > Royal > Ninja > Highwayman > Fur > Bandit > Rogue > Thief > Traveler > Initiate

Mage Armor
Mage armor pieces increase the magic stat, and are the lightest set, but are the second most expensive set.

Archwizard/Glittering > Sage > Enchanter > Warlock > Crimson > Sorcerer > Wizard > Conjuror > Shaman > Druidic > Apprentice > Novice

Knife
Daggers increase Luck, raising crit chance, but are weaker than Forked Knives

Daggers: Stiletto > Silver > Stalray > Large > Bandit Knife > Small

Forked Knives: Gekiretsu Ikazuchi > Slayer Sai > Hissori Yochi > Hayai Kaze > Hyzou > Kyzawa

Specialty Knives: Great Knife, Suicide Knife

Great Knife is a large, 2 handed knife that attacks quickly but deals high damage, it also increases luck as it belongs to the straight knife branch.

Suicide Knife can be used to commit suicide, dying with reduced loss of items or experience.

Melee
Nunchucks are the most powerful Melee weapon, but do not provide any stat bonuses. Tonfas increase agility, and claws increase dexterity.

Nunchucks: Ancient > Silver > Spiked > Iron > Wooden

Tonfas: Bladed > Silver > Savage > Lion > Iron > Wooden

Magic staves increase the magic stat, while melee staves do not.

Axes: Double-Bladed > Brutal > Hand Axe

Two Handed: Giant's Blade > Warlord Blade > Masamune > Mylthos > Blackhieg > Claymore > Buster Sword

Flails: Morning Star > Flail > Chain Whip

Polearms
Lances are more powerful than Spears, but reduce your agility. Spears are also faster.

Spears: Voulge > Glaive > Halberd > Sturdy Pike > Tribal > Steel > Trident > Stone > Bamboo Quartstaff

Equipment modifiers
Modifiers come in 3 different types; Quality, Prefix, and Suffix.

Quality
Quality can be changed by upgrading or degrading a piece of equipment at a blacksmith. Each upgrade increases the stats by about 5%. Quality ranges from Worthless to Perfect. Better quality equipment is more durable and effective than worse quality equipment. When an item takes too much damage before being repaired, its quality will drop by 1 tier.

Prefix
Prefixes are elemental attributes. There are 6 standard and 4 nonstandard elemental types. Higher tier elements will provide more elemental damage, or absorption to damage, of that type.

The elemental wheel is as follows: Air > Earth > Lit > Water > Fire > Ice > Air

And the nonstandard wheel: Cure > Poison > Light > Dark > Cure

Elemental equipment comes in more than 1 tier; a fire elemental piece can range in fire aspect from "Flame" to "Flare", or a dark piece from "Shadow" to "Doom".
